White Nationalist Organizer Unmasked At State Dept

Just in from the Southern Poverty Law Center:

A U.S. State Department official oversaw the Washington, D.C.-area chapter of a white nationalist organization, hosted white nationalists at his home and published white nationalist propaganda online, Hatewatch has determined.

The official, Matthew Q. Gebert, works as a foreign affairs officer assigned to the Bureau of Energy Resources, a State Department spokesperson told Hatewatch. Online, and in private correspondences with other white nationalists, Gebert uses “Coach Finstock” as a pseudonym. Through that alias, he expressed a desire to build a country for whites only.

“[Whites] need a country of our own with nukes, and we will retake this thing lickety split,” “Coach Finstock” said on a May 2018 episode of “The Fatherland,” a white nationalist podcast. “That’s all that we need. We need a country founded for white people with a nuclear deterrent. And you watch how the world trembles.”

There’s much more to their report.

Matthew Q. Gebert, operating as “Coach Finstock” worked with Michael “Enoch” Peinovich’s organization The Right Stuff (TRS).

Peinovich’s emails to a source helped corroborate his identity. Gebert and his wife are the third and fourth of TRS affiliates I’ve IDd this year.
