Before Dick Spencer became the face of the neo-fascism calling itself the “alt-right”, his friend Milo Yiannopoulos had that role. As one of the editors at Breitbart.com he was the writer who gave away the store when he wrote a flowery article about the “alt-right”, putting that spotlight on Breitbart.com for good. He even got banned from Twitter before Spencer was. We could go on for days about all of his stunts of harassing people in the name of fascism, but if people are protesting him you can pretty much surmise that folks know how much of a scumbag he is. That’s why people are opposing him at every college campus he shows up at during his speaking tour, where all he will do is stand on a stage, call people names and leave without teaching anyone anything except hate politics is profitable. This is just one of several places he is scheduled to appear. We have provided links to the opposition that will greet him when he infests a campus. In the case of this event, Turning Point USA, the latest in organizations that goes out to college campuses to create conservative student activists, is sponsoring this outing.

As America observes the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Weekend, Virginia has other plans. Friday, January 13th is the Virginia State Holiday for Lee-Jackson Day, and Saturday, January 14th is officially recognized as Lee-Jackson Day in Lexington. This is just fine fort he neo-Confederate Virginia Flaggers who want to flag the town of Lexington for action taken by City Council to ban all flags from city light pole flag stands, rather than allow the Confederate Rag to fly for the week leading up to the holiday. They are also pissed at Washington and Lee University, which is in town because they removed the Confederate Rag from Robert E. Lee’s grave on campus and refused to allow the Sons of Confederate Veterans to hold a memorial service in the Lee Chapel. Their plans are tentatively to meet at Stonewall Jackson Cemetery Friday at 10:00 a.m, Saturday at 9:00 a.m. Unfortunately for them, there are others that want to do things differently:
From Workers Assemble
Three “Southern Heritage” groups with white supremacist ties – ACTBAC from Alamance County, the Virginia Flaggers, and League of the South – are coordinating to organize an annual Confederate memorial service in Lexington, VA on January 14, 2017, in retaliation against the MLK Community Parade organized by CARE Rockbridge, an anti-racist organization.
ACTBAC held a rally for Trump on 11.08, has issued threats on social media against a planned mosque, held Confederate memorial rallies at UNC-Chapel Hill, and has had members show up armed at HB2 protests. They are a pro-Confederacy organization that wants to have confederate flags raised on the Interstate. They are likewise the “sister” organization of Citizens of North Carolina Against Relocation of Muslim Refugees. The Virginia Flaggers also want Confederate flags raised on the I-95, and they protested the removal of a confederate memorial in 07.15. The League of the South is an open white-supremacist and neo-confederate organization with ties to the KKK, National Socialist Movement (NSM), and the Traditionalist Worker Party. Matthew Heimbach is also a member of LoS.
We are not going to allow these organizations to march. This is a call out to all #antifa crews, affinity-groups and local chapters to mobilize and #shutitdown.
#WorkersAssemble will be organizing a caravan of #antifa/anti-racist comrades to shut down “Southern Heritage” white-supremacists. We will be assembling a caravan to leave for Lexington at 8:00AM from Durham, NC. It’s time to organize, protect one another, and #fightback. We will be coordinating our caravan with any others that are heading to Lexington.
To coordinate with us, please email us at workersassemble@protonmail
¡No Parasán! Durham is an #Antifa city!
This will be the first time DLJ has ever been on the West Coast, so we hope to see a lot of our friends while we are out there that we waited a long time to connect with. It takes place just a week before Donald Trump is inaugurated as the 45th President of the United States, and with all the neo-Fascists thinking that is their big chance to shine, we all need to get together and figure out the best way to dim their lights significantly. There is definitely a lot to discuss!
On January 28th, 2017, white power activists intend to host an “Atlanta Forum” conference to bring together regional members of the Alt-Right and other white nationalists. In an attempt to head them off and disrupt their ability to organize in our city, anti-racists request that venues and event spaces in and around Atlanta be vigilant about bookings for this date.
The “Atlanta Forum” event was first mentioned on a Southern white nationalist podcast called The Rebel Yell, which is affiliated with The Right Stuff website. “Atlanta Forum” planning seems to have begun in early September of 2016. The organizers claim they have secured a number of speakers. However, they have not listed the event speakers or the venue where the conference will take place. The event website does provide the following:
- Date of conference (January 28, 2017)
- Time of event (9:00AM – 4:00PM)
- Cost of admission ($20 or $14.88 for students)
- An email address for “TRS Confederates” (who host “The Rebel Yell” podcast)
We ask that anyone who can obtain additional information about the Atlanta Forum, or who has knowledge of suspicious bookings in or near Atlanta on Jan. 28th, contact Atlanta Antifascists:
email: afainatl [at] riseup [dot] net
phone: (470) 344 – 4868 (voicemail only)
Further Details / Context
- The name “The Atlanta Forum” references The London Forum in the U.K., an event series where neo-fascists and members of the “New Right” gather for speeches and networking. This model of pseudo-intellectual speeches coupled with networking has been copied by “The New York Forum” in New York City, a series that is promoted by the racist Counter-Currents Publishing website. A white nationalist “Northwest Forum” had is inaugural meeting in Washington State last year.
- The student admission price ($14.88) for the Atlanta Forum uses white supremacist code. The number 14 stands for the “14 words” – “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children” – a racist slogan coined by terrorist David Lane. The number 88 is alphanumeric code for “H.H.” or “Heil Hitler.”
- Atlanta-area “Alt-Right” white nationalists support The Right Stuff website and its projects. One photo of an October “Pool Party” gathering in the metro Atlanta area showed almost two dozen participants; “pool party” is the term The Right Stuff uses for its Alt-Right meetups. Another Alt-Right gathering at Stone Mountain Park showed two organizers wearing “The Right Stuff” shirts. A national post-election propaganda campaign coordinated by The Right Stuff resulted in propaganda posted at Georgia State University, Georgia Tech, Kennesaw State University and Augusta University in our state.
It seems that Trump supporters are feeling they and the guy they elected president is a little unloved, so they are planning a nationwide event that will give us all the illusion otherwise – at least where there isn’t opposition to it. It’s called “March 4 Trump” and the attempt is to hold a rally or something in as many cities as possible to, as Steve Bannon’s old haunt Breitbart put it according to the Inquisitr, “to thwart ‘hardcore progressive leftists that have been marching against President Trump and his appointments.’” Yeah, well good luck with that. We will make an alert for each locality we see scheduled, with pertinent information concerning each, especially if opposition announces a counter-demo.
Yes, this is at Trump’s resort. It’s a pro-Trump rally. And if some of his supporters actually knew how to read, they would leave posts on the Facebook page for this rally like this:

The one in Berkeley is going to be special because it is more of a march for Milo Yiannopoulos, who was chased out of there by antifa in January. This event is being put together by the Proud Boys, the group founded by Vice co-founder, Fox News regular and neo-Fascist Gavin McInnes as “Western chauvinists who refuse to apologize for creating the modern world.” They are particularly pissed about how Milo was routed in Berkeley, so they are using this event to throw a temper tantrum about it.

This particular rally in Phoenix is going to be special because Ex-Arizona State Senator Russell Pearce will be among the speakers. He is not one of Arizona’s favorite people, given how he likes to hobknob with neo-Nazis like the late J.T. Ready and peddle information from the neo-Nazi National Alliance. He’s an Ex-Senator because in 2011 he was the first legislator in Arizona history to be so removed from office via a recall election.

Washington, DC’s event is at the Washington Monument, and it will see opposition. The opposition’s call to action reads as follows:
DC over the past 3 months has been lit. We swarmed the streets on J20 and J21, shut down highways, occupied airports, and stood up to an administration at every turn.
We won’t sit idly by when Trump supporters come to town and celebrate: fear, hate, and misogyny.
