Goyim TV, America's most prolific antisemitic propaganda group, has left the Bay Area for Florida

The functional headquarters and nerve center of the nation’s most prolific antisemitic propaganda group have moved from the Bay Area to Florida.

Jon Minadeo Jr., the leader of Goyim TV, announced the move in videos and social media posts this week, explaining that he had grown increasingly isolated in his hometown of Petaluma, and saw Florida as fertile ground for the hate group’s activities. The announcement came in a highly dramatic, Hollywood-style movie trailer replete with drone shots of the Florida coast, alligators and flamingoes. “My time in this state is over,” Minadeo says in voiceover.

A loose network of antisemites, white supremacists and virulently anti-gay activists, Goyim TV — which is both a website and the name of Minadeo’s business registered in California — focuses its efforts on spreading anti-Jewish propaganda. Its followers have claimed responsibility for hundreds of antisemitic flyer drops in more than 40 states over the past two years.

In the Bay Area, flyer drops blaming Jews for the Covid pandemic, for the war in Ukraine and for “gun control” have hit San Francisco, Danville, Berkeley, Marin City, Tiburon, and Novato, among other cities.

Take the new luggage and I’ll pack you a lunch. We don’t need that crowd in the Golden State.

5 miles from my house. a stone's throw.

Don't know why I'm surprised, really. I've known we have had a subset of racists and bigots in various parts of our community and especially Novato.

Yeah, I can see why he feels "isolated" here. Good. Take the rest of these scumbags with you!

Although if he sets up shop in Miami or Fort Lauderdale, he'll be surprised at the number of Jewish people there.

Jacksonville area because a neo-Nazi group they belong to, National Socialist Florida, is based there. And they may hope the more "southern," less Hispanic, less NE retiree culture of northern Florida will be less hostile to their nasty uber-extremism. Frankly, I don't know an area in the entire nation that would welcome them.

We know someone who moved with his partner to just inland of Mar-a-Lago from a rural CA county to escape CA's immoral and ungodly liberalism. Sadly, because he was a delightful little boy and a man who wants to be good, he came to believe tRump's FL had a lot of people who felt like them and ended up just as cluelessly upset and angry there.

I think, in addition to being victims of anti-Florida propaganda, their problem was that they were able to retire early to a quite nice, middle class, mostly college educated community. Probably mostly RW but not nearly MAGAish enough. Now, if they moved just another 3 miles inland to a swamp dotted with modestly maintained, low-income stick houses and mobile homes, their totally-screwed-up-but-unhateful conservative "ideological" fit likely would have been much better.
