Atlanta Antifascists :antifa:<p>On May 2nd, a North Carolina neo-Nazi named Ariel Ellis Collazo-Ramos was arrested on federal charges of sending threats by mail, including one to a rabbi in middle Georgia. Collazo-Ramos was known to us under his alias of "Patriot Candle Co", as a GDL (Goyim Defense League) associate, a network of neo-Nazis known for extreme antisemitic flyering campaigns and clownish antics. </p><p>Like many neo-Nazis, Collazo-Ramos had a history of violence against women. This 2023 mugshot stems from an arrest in North Carolina in which he was charged with "felonious restraint and assault on a female".</p><p>This news piece by 11 Alive —<a href="https://www.11alive.com/article/news/local/antisemitic-flyers-found-steps-away-emory-university/85-2ed7fd38-04b0-4078-bc95-28e7b92707cb" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">11alive.com/article/news/local</span><span class="invisible">/antisemitic-flyers-found-steps-away-emory-university/85-2ed7fd38-04b0-4078-bc95-28e7b92707cb</span></a> — discusses the arrest and also the recent antisemitic flyering of a neighborhood near Emory. While it's good practice not to show the text of Goyim Defense League flyers — the GDL goal is to manipulate local media to advertise their media — the piece, by not discussing the origin of the flyers at all, irresponsibly draws a connection between Emory student and faculty pro-Palestinian protests and the antisemitic flyering campaign. We believe that the recent flyering is almost certainly Goyim Defense League in origin, as shown by the shot of the plastic-wrapped flyers, which is standard GDL flyering procedure that crops up wherever they are active</p><p>The GDL have made a few attempts to infiltrate pro-Palestinian student protests, and while they are typically driven off as soon as anyone sees their neo-Nazi propaganda, we encourage everyone to be aware of their organization and their goals. If you post GDL flyering alerts on social media, please note the location and time you believe the flyers were left, but obscure any of their flyer information such as URLs or QR codes if you post a picture of the flyer. It's good tactics not to give them what they want: free publicity and mass confusion.</p><p>If you have any tips on GDL flyering or activity in Georgia, please contact us.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GDL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GDL</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GoyimDefenseLeague" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GoyimDefenseLeague</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Emory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Emory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Atlanta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Atlanta</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/antisemitism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>antisemitism</span></a></p>
