Atlanta Antifascists 
An article published late last month connects Georgia Sons of Confederate Veterans spokesman Martin K. O’Toole to the circulation of a notorious piece of neo-Nazi propaganda.
The article--written by Spencer Sunshine and Hannah Gais, and published on the Southern Poverty Law Center’s “Hatewatch” blog--concerns the 2003 reprint of James Mason’s Siege. Siege was first released as a book in 1993. It has become a key text among neo-Nazis who favor terrorism to achieve their goals. A mass shooter who murdered three Black people in Florida last year cited Siege. The book also inspired “accelerationist” neo-Nazi groups such as Atomwaffen Division and The Base.

According to the new article, Greg Johnson and Ryan Schuster operated Black Sun Publications, responsible for the 2003 Siege reprint. Schuster claimed that the venture was a publishing imprint of the Foundation for Human Understanding (FHU). FHU, founded in 1973, was a tax-exempt organization promoting racist pseudoscience which disbanded in the mid-2000s.
FHU’s Internal Revenue Service filings for 2001-2005 are available online:

These filings show that Martin O’Toole was President of FHU at the time of the Siege reprint. Interestingly, the filings for the years when Johnson and Schuster arranged the reprint, claim that FHU had just over $200 in assets. The filings do not refer to Black Sun Publications or any new publishing venture.
The new findings about Black Sun and Siege suggest that FHU hid much of its true activity while O’Toole headed the organization.
This is not the first time that Martin O’Toole has been tied to unambiguous neo-Nazi propaganda. During the 1980s he produced and mailed newsletters for neo-Nazi Gary “Gerhard” Lauck:

The Sons of Confederate Veterans will yet again gather at Stone Mountain Park for “Confederate Memorial Day” on Saturday, April 27th. The SCV will predictably claim to be about “heritage, not hate.” However, their own Georgia spokesman gives the lie to this claim, through his long history in the white nationalist movement and his role promoting violent neo-Nazism.
