Since the beginning of 2023, neo-Nazi and ex-Marine Christopher Alan Pohlhaus has ramped up his efforts to create a white supremacist enclave in Maine by accumulating rural property, soliciting cryptocurrency donations on Telegram and embarking on a cross-country recruiting trip, according to messages Pohlhaus posted to Telegram.
Lets just be frank, Maines a white state, has always been a super-white state. Lets keep it the way it is, Pohlhaus said in a May 11 interview with a journalist that Pohlhaus recorded and posted to Telegram.
Pohlhaus, who has led members of his swastika-toting Blood Tribe to disrupt LGBTQ+ community events in Ohio three times, appears to be in the early stages of building a headquarters for his group near Springfield, Maine.
Over the past four months, Pohlhaus also appears to have broadened his network of extremist connections. Along with his previously reported connections to the neo-Nazi Nationalist Social Club (NSC-131) and convicted Jan. 6 rioter Riley June Williams, Pohlhaus recently posted images of blood ritual initiations and has claimed associations with neo-Nazi activists and publishers around the country.
Whatever, you doxed me. Whatever, old news, Pohlhaus said in a voice message in response to a request for comment Hatewatch sent via Telegram.

(3,627 posts)Luckily, it's not in the part of ME that my family usually visits.
Rural ME, especially in the winter, is not the easiest place to set up. Given this guys history, I don't think he can make it work. Doubt he has much experience eking out a living in such a rural location.
The good news for him is there's a Walmart only half an hour drive way. My guess is he'll be there as long as he can beg others for $.

I predict that in a few years he'll give up and move somewhere else. If the winters don't get him, the black flies and mosquitoes will.
