New from GPAHE: Identitarian Leader Martin Sellner and Violent Italian Neo-Nazi Guido Taietti Scheduled to Appear at American White Supremacist Conference
GPAHE is raising significant concerns regarding the scheduled appearance of Austrian Identitarian leader Martin Sellner and Italian neo-Nazi Guido Taietti at the American Renaissance (AmRen) Conference from November 15-17, 2024, in Tennessee. Both individuals, known for their violent extremist affiliations, are expected to propagate dangerous ideologies at this prominent gathering of white supremacists. Sellner will deliver a lecture promoting forced mass deportations, “remigration,” rooted in the discredited “Great Replacement” conspiracy theory, while Taietti, a convicted violent offender, will share insights on European Identitarianism.
In a Press Release published this week that addresses this issue, Heidi Beirich, co-founder of GPAHE, stated, “Martin Sellner and Guido Taietti are not just fringe figures; they represent a violent ideology that has fueled hate crimes and terror attacks globally.” Wendy Via, CEO and co-founder of GPAHE, echoed this sentiment, making a strong call on the Department of Homeland Security to take immediate action: “Allowing them to speak at a gathering of white supremacists only serves to legitimize their violent ideologies and could further incite division and violence within our borders.” GPAHE remains vigilant in monitoring this situation and advocating against the spread of hate and extremism in the world.

New from GPAHE: “Wokebusters” Begins Operations: Far-right Hungarian-led Network includes prominent American conservatives and elected officials
Hungary’s far-right government has launched “Wokebusters,” an international effort backed by CPAC Hungary and U.S. conservatives with deep connections to Project 2025. This initiative represents a global effort to undermine democracy and human rights. Supported by over 20 countries, including Spain, Belgium, and the U.S., Wokebusters positions itself as a “rapid reaction force” against progressive movements, signaling a coordinated transnational threat to liberal democracy.
Led by Hungary’s Center for Fundamental Rights, Wokebusters has drawn support from prominent figures like Ted Cruz, Gavin Wax, and Matt Schlapp. The coalition’s network is rapidly expanding, with plans for events, workshops, and political actions across Europe, the U.S., and Latin America. This coalition poses a significant threat to human rights worldwide.

Tech Policy Press: Political Figures Must Be Held to the Same Online Standards as Others. It is Vital for Democracy and Human Rights.
“It is vital that the platforms do all they can to protect democracies and elections around the world, not just this year, but for the future, especially given the precarious state of some democracies. A tremendous step toward protecting voters and democracy would be to finally fully enforce the community standards for the politically powerful” said Wendy Via and Heidi Beirich, co-founders of GPAHE.
GPAHE’s take: In a critical year for global elections, GPAHE is highlighting the urgent need for social media platforms to apply the same content standards to political figures as they do to other users. Published by Tech Policy Press, the article warns of the dangers posed by unchecked hate speech and disinformation, which threaten both democracy and human rights worldwide, and are echoed by the esteemed Club de Madrid, an association of more than 100 former democratic leaders and heads of state from around the world.

Update from GPAHE: YouTube’s Suspension of Keith Woods is A Setback for the Groyper Movement
The Groyper movement, led by white supremacists and antisemites like Nick Fuentes, suffered a significant blow with YouTube’s permanent suspension of Keith Woods’ channel due to severe violations of its hate speech policy. GPAHE documented Woods’ track record of hate in August. After nearly six years, this removal perhaps signals a growing crackdown on extremist content.
YouTube’s action represents a crucial step in combating online hate, limiting the platforms available to extremists and protecting vulnerable communities. However, as the Groyper movement pivots to unregulated sites like Rumble, the risk of radicalization and the spread of hate speech remains a pressing concern.
