Christopher Pohlhaus [Christopher Alan Pohlhaus] has called for violence in America. He has also threatened Jews, co-led a neo-Nazi march, participated in anti-Semitic stunts and performed Nazi salutes in his activism with the neo-Nazi Goyim Defense League (GDL).
As of February 2021, Christopher Pohlhaus was listed as an activist with the GDL, an anti-Semitic hate group and conspiracy theorist network created in 2018, with headquarters in Palm Bay, Florida. The group stages anti-Semitic stunts across the U.S. and operates a white supremacist online video-sharing platform called GoyimTV (GTV).
The term “goy” in Hebrew and Yiddish is often used to refer to a non-Jew, with “goyim” being the plural form. “Goy” literally means “nation” in Hebrew.
In 2021, Pohlhaus was reportedly affiliated with Nationalist Social Club (NSC-131), a neo-Nazi group in New England. On October 27, 2022, Vice News reported that Pohlhaus claimed he attended NSC-131 events to support the group, but was not a member.
In 2021, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) identified Pohlhaus as the founder of his own neo-Nazi organization called Blood Tribe.
As of September 1, 2022, Pohlhaus was fundraising to buy land in Maine for a Blood Tribe members’ training camp. By July 2023, Pohlhaus had rebranded his campaign to raise $5 million to “Support the Blood Tribe” and, according to a report by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), reportedly to build his planned training camp and headquarters. Although the land was sold in October 2023 after the community and state authorities objected to the planned neo-Nazi training ground, as of May 2024, Pohlhaus had raised $9,508.
Blood Tribe closely collaborates with the Goyim Defense League (GDL), Patriot Front, White Lives Matter (WLM) and other white supremacist and neo-Nazi organizations by organizing joint events. Pohlhaus’s group also targets LGBTQ+ communities and frequently threatens violence at their rallies.
As of January 12, 2020, Pohlhaus was listed as a tattoo artist at Creation Tattoo Company in San Antonio, Texas. As of July 2023, Pohl claimed he made a living tattooing supporters.
On June 14, 2021,Vice News reported that Pohlhaus had served in the Marine Corps from 2005 to 2009.
On February 8, 2025, PBS News Hour reported that Blood Tribe leader Christopher Pohlhaus is a defendant in a civil lawsuit filed on February 6, 2025 by the City of Springfield, Ohio, against Pohlhaus and his Blood Tribe, for “engaging in, and inciting, a campaign of harassment and intimidation, motivated by ethnic and racial hatred, against those who supported Springfield’s Haitian community in the face of Defendants’ racist attacks.”
As of March 2025, Pohlhaus was listed as having graduated from Collins College (Collins) with a bachelor’s degree in video game production and computer games. Collins, which closed in 2016, was located in Tempe, Arizona.
As of the same date, Pohlhaus was listed as working as a tattoo artist and piercer at Ritual Addictions Tattoo and being located in Phoenix, Arizona
As of the same date, Pohlhaus went by the username and handle: “@The Hammer” on Telegram. Pohlhaus went by the username ᛒᛚᚢᛏᚲᛟᚾᛁᚷ [“Blut Konig / Blood King”] and used the handle “@pohlhaus” on a second Telegram account. Also as of May 2024, Pohlhaus went by the username “Blut Konig” [Blood King] and used the handle:“@The Hammer” on Gab.
On June 22, 2021, Vice News, in an article titled: “Ex-Marine and Neo-Nazi Told Followers How to Shoot Truckers to Dismantle Supply Chain,” reported that Pohlhaus called for violence in America as a means of accelerating the demise of its government, in anticipation of what he believes is a coming race war.
The article referenced a video streamed on Pohlhaus’s Telegram channel. Pohlhaus described in detail: “...how his followers could undertake the operation that could…easily disrupt the United States’ supply chain.”
Pohlhaus said: “It’s easy to stop trucks. You don’t need anybody; you barely need anyone. Twenty-five dudes, twenty-five dudes trained with a (rifle). Each one of those guys shoots and moves and hides, shoots two truckers a day. That’s 50 truckers (shot) every day.”
The article continued: “Pohlhaus…often presses people to arm themselves and adheres to the violent political ideology of accelerationism, which preaches terrorism to hasten the collapse of world governments and is widely adopted by a hardcore stratum of the far-right…”
Vice reported that, in the video, Pohlhaus said: “...it’s easy to attack a society…currently only two percent of people actually produce food and the supply lines are entirely too long and overly complicated…this system is incredibly fragile, and what I did was show a way 25 men could bring it completely to its knees. And I am right, as always. They could…”
Pohlhaus reportedly co-organized and co-led a joint military-style GDL – Blood Tribe “March of the Redshirts” held on September 2, 2023, in Orlando, Florida. Pohlhaus led [00:17:00] the crowd in chanting “Heil Hitler,” “Sieg Heil” [Hail Victory] and making Nazi salutes. He can be seen [00:17:08] in the video without a hat or mask, wearing black jeans and black boots, a red long-sleeve shirt, a black leather vest and a Nazi swastika pendant.
At the rally, Pohlhaus said [00:00:02]: “We have to just start a fire. We’re the kindling. And once we set the fire, we get the fire hot. Then we get the rest of our brothers [white supremacists] blazing… Be the vanguard! Stick up for ourselves! Stand up! Don’t be afraid! Show no fear!”
Pohlhaus continued [00:00:15]: “Subjugation of our [white] race, that’s what we stand against…White subjugators…kikes, Jewry, capitalism, billionaires.”
During the march, Jon Minadeo, GDL co-founder and leader, harassed a Jewish journalist and former congressional candidate Laura Loomer while she was filming the rally, shouting [00:02:22] at her: “What are doing here, Laura Jewmer?!”
Loomer tweeted that Minadeo called her a “kike” and a “tranny Jew.”
Michael Weaver and other GDL and Blood Tribe activists also harassed Loomer, chanting at her: “Jigsaw Jew,” “White Power” and “Go home to Israel K*ke.” One of the activists told Loomer that she would “get the oven too.”
On October 24, 2021, Pohlhaus participated [00:38:40] in a GDL protest outside a fundraiser for Israel held annually by the Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, Texas. The protest was part of GDL’s 5th “Name That Nose Tour (NTNT).” Pohlhaus can be seen in the video wearing a black shirt, blue jeans and sunglasses.
GDL members stationed [00:38:32] themselves at the end of a pedestrian road and displayed a series of anti-Semitic posters.
One poster read: “JEWS CONTROL THE MEDIA. BLACKS COMMIT THE MOST CRIMES. NON WHITES ARE INVADERS DOCUMENTS OR NOT. BANKING IS JEWISH WITCHCRAFT.”
The assertion that Jews control the media has been traced to the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, an anti-Semitic fabricated text that depicts wealthy Jews conspiring to take over the world.
Jon Minadeo, a GDL co-founder and leader, screamed [00:15:13] through a megaphone: “The Synagogue of Satan! These Jews have been kicked out of 109 nations over 1,030 times! And here you are, supporting these demons that kill Palestinians.”
GDL activist Robert Wilson later shouted [00:16:07] at a police officer who approached the protesters: “You are not an American! You’re not a Texan! You’re a s**tskin invader! I don’t care what your documents say! S**tskin invader! You want us to respect these boundaries, but you s**tskins don’t respect our boundaries.”
Pohlhaus also shouted [00:39:08] into a megaphone: “I want sovereignty. I demand sovereignty. I will have sovereignty. There is nothing they [Jews] can do short of killing me to stop this desire. I am only one of many. We are never going away. You haven’t been able to get rid of us yet. You haven’t been able to get rid of us yet. And here we are.”
A local ranger then approached [00:39:38] Pohlhaus and Minadeo and said the group needed to “move over to the north end.” Minadeo said to the ranger [00:39:43]: “You’re Ramirez. Okay, so we’re just wondering, how the h*ll are you telling Europeans what to do in their own homeland?”
The GDL activists continued [00:41:01] to protest further down the street and harass pedestrians with anti-Semitic and racist slurs. Pohlhaus was shouting along as one GDL member can be heard [00:45:23] yelling at a passerby: “You’re going to wind up back in the oven!”
On October 27, 2021, Pohlhaus participated in a GDL anti-Semitic banner drop in San Antonio, Texas. At the rally, he made threats [00:01:03] to the Jews and performed [00:02:20] a Nazi salute. Pohlhaus can be seen [00:00:10] in the video wearing a black shirt, blue jeans and orange reflective sunglasses, with a red beard and distinctive face and neck tattoos.
During GDL’s 5th “Name That Nose Tour (NTNT)” in October 2021, GDL members hung anti-Semitic banners from a bridge in San Antonio, Texas, and performed Nazi salutes. The banners said : “Henry Ford Warned Us About Jews” and “Honk if You Know Jews Did 9/11.”
Henry Ford was an American car manufacturer and notorious anti-Semite.
Anti-Semites often spread the conspiracy theory that the 9/11 attacks were carried out by Israel with the support of the United States, claiming the attack was a “false flag” operation mounted to instigate war against Israel’s enemies.
While GDL members were standing on the bridge in front of the banners, Pohlhaus said [00:00:51]: “Hey Jews, if you’re watching Jews, I hope your butthole’s puckered. Your time’s running out, bud…and if you can’t tell, the goyim know and they’re going to f**king figure it all out…and everyone’s going to figure out your scheme.”
Pohlhaus continued [00:01:03]: “If I was a Jew I’d run. I mean seriously, if you care about your family and you’re a Jew, I’d f**king leave the country ASAP.” He then performed [00:02:20] a Nazi salute.
