Gunner Brand

Overview

Gunner Brand has distributed [01:27:08] anti-Semitic flyers and performed [00:04:34] Nazi salutes as a Goyim Defense League (GDL) activist in February 2023. 

As of August 2023, Brand was an activist with the GDL, an anti-Semitic hate group and conspiracy theorist network active since at least 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.

As of August 2023, Brand’s LinkedIn profile said he worked as a master carpenter at R.E. Construction.

As of the same date, Brand’s LinkedIn said he was located in Belvidere, New Jersey.

2/18/2023 - GDL Anti-Semitic Banner Drop in Florida

Brand handed out [01:27:08] anti-Semitic flyers and displayed [00:55:45] large signs promoting anti-Semitic conspiracy theories at a joint GDL and National Socialists Florida (NSF) rally in Daytona, Florida. He can be seen in the video wearing brown cargo shorts, a black T-shirt over a gray hoodie, a gray beanie and glasses.

On February 18, 2023, GDL members handed out [00:02:30] flyers and dropped an anti-Semitic banner on the pedestrian bridge leading to the Daytona International Speedway in Florida during the Daytona 500 race weekend. Participants held anti-Semitic posters and GDL co-founder and leader Jon Minadeo had a sign that said [00:11:57]: “Why are Jews allowed to suck baby penis?”

Brand held [00:12:09] a sign that said: “SLAVERY WAS NEVER A ‘WHITE PEOPLE’ THING / 4 out of every 5 slave owning Americans were Jewish.”

The claim that Jews were dominant in the transatlantic slave trade was propagated in a book published by the Nation of Islam titled: “The Secret Relationship between Blacks and Jews.” The book has been discredited in a work titled: “Jews, Slaves, and the Slave Trade: Setting the Record Straight,” by John Jay College of Criminal Justice professor of history, Eli Faber.

Minadeo then shouted [00:12:56] at people crossing the highway overpass: “96% of American media is owned by baby penis-sucking Jews. Communists! They are trying to wipe out white people in their own country!”

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. 

Minadeo continued [00:14:29]: “They worship the devil! They killed Jesus Christ! If you’re a Christian, look at Revelation 3:9, the synagogue of Satan! They controlled the slave ships, blamed slavery on whites when it was the Jews that brought them here. Wake up, white man! You’re going extinct! And if you speak about it, you’ll be called a racist!” 

The phrase “synagogue of Satan” is mentioned in two verses from the New Testament’s Book of Revelation (2:9, 3:9), which have been used through the ages to justify anti-Semitism.

Minadeo then shouted [00:00:20] through a megaphone at someone across the freeway: “Shut up, you stupid Jew, you’re in a hatchback. You should be in an oven!… And when white people wake up, you f**kers are done! Pack your bags, Jew.” 

Brand held [00:55:45] a sign that said: “How are they connected?” The sign suggested that the media, banking, the government and Hollywood were all controlled by Jews.

Next, GDL members went over [01:08:08] to the pedestrian bridge, where they joined [01:13:50] masked NSF activists who had hung anti-Semitic banners that read: “Henry Ford was right about the Jews” and “Communism is Jewish.” 

Henry Ford was an American car manufacturer and notorious anti-Semite.

Brand handed out [01:27:08] anti-Semitic flyers on the overpass, as GDL and NSF members jointly and repeatedly harassed [01:27:10] passersby of different racial backgrounds with anti-Semitic and racist statements like [01:30:28]: “Shut up you faggot race traitor!” 

On February 27, 2023, Minadeo posted on Gab a photo with GDL and NSF activists. Minadeo wrote in his post: “WHITE POWER STRIKES DAYTONA 500 / @GoyimTv / @NatSocFlorida.” Brand can be seen in the photo center-left, wearing a brown sweatshirt, a golden pendant, a gray beanie and glasses.

2/17/2023 - GDL Rally Outside a Florida Synagogue

Brand participated [00:00:18] in a GDL rally outside a synagogue in Orlando, Florida, where he held [00:00:26] a large sign promoting an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory. He also performed [00:04:34] a Nazi salute. Brand can be seen in the video wearing brown cargo shorts, a dark blue short-sleeve shirt, a white headband and glasses.

On February 17, 2023, Brand participated [00:00:18] with over a dozen GDL activists in a rally outside a Chabad synagogue in Orlando, Florida. GDL members held anti-Semitic signs and harassed pedestrians and drivers they identified as Jewish with anti-Semitic slurs.

Brand held [00:00:26] a sign that said: “Remember the USS Liberty” while giving a Nazi salute to the camera.

The USS Liberty incident was an attack on an American spy ship by Israeli forces during the Six-Day War after it was mistaken for an Egyptian enemy vessel.

Minadeo, one of the rally's leaders, told [00:01:10] a person driving into the synagogue parking lot through a megaphone: “You are the devil, Jew. That’s why you suck baby penis. That’s why you’ve been kicked out of 109 nations 1,030 times. That’s why you look like a f**king retard because your people inbreed so much. You’re so f**king paranoid. You’re hideous. And you’re gonna get expelled again. Laugh about it now. Free Palestine. Free America. F**k you, Jew.”

Minadeo pointed to a BBQ grill and asked [00:02:36] someone: “How many Jews can fit in this?” 

At the same rally, Minadeo spoke [00:03:19] to the daughter of a Holocaust survivor on the street, saying: “I have a present for you.” He took [00:03:23] a bar of soap out of a bag in a wrapper labeled: “Swastika Soap.”

As of May 2023, “Swastika Soap” bars were sold on the GoyimTV website. The soap featured the “Happy Merchant” anti-Semitic caricature with text that said: “Wash the Jew Away.” They produced the soap to mock the reports of human fat being used by the Nazis to make soap during World War II.

Minadeo said [00:03:31]: “So, this is made out of the fat of dead Jews, and the semen and the teeth. It smells amazing. Would you like to take this home?” Minadeo then added [00:03:44]: “These are your relatives in one bar of soap. ‘Wash the Jew Away,’ what do you think?”

Brand also performed [00:04:34] a Nazi salute along with other GDL members.
