The trio of companies sell copies of ‘Mein Kampf’ and busts of Adolf Hitler. In September 2024, a man by the name of “Royce” appeared on Stew Peters’ “Uncancelable” podcast. Peters is an extreme right-wing ideologue with over 500,000 followers on Rumble. He kicked off this particular episode by offering viewers a promo code for a Holocaust denial website. Royce was there to promote Europa: The Last Battle, a 13-hour neo-Nazi propaganda film that blames Jews for Nazi Germany’s fall. It was produced by a Swedish neo-Nazi, gaining a cult fandom on far-right Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok. Royce spoke as a representative of Team Europa, a company formed to market and distribute the film. Peters praised Royce for giving him a second edition of Adolf Hitler’s manifesto Mein Kampf, a moment that revealed more of Royce’s past than he perhaps meant to, as he and Team Europa have ties to companies that publish and distribute Nazi books and merchandise: Invisible Empire Publishing and Dissident Minds Books. These three companies regularly cross-promote each other on social media and their websites. The Invisible Empire Publishing website lists Team Europa as an affiliated partner; posts from the Invisible Empire Publishing Telegram group have described Dissident Minds Books as a preferred distributor for their titles, and Royce’s Team Europa has made posts promoting Dissident Minds Books titles. Behind these entities, which help neo-Nazis obtain the kind of hardcover editions Barnes & Noble doesn’t stock, are a U.S. Army veteran, a former Marine turned vocally proud neo-Nazi, and a disgraced member of the far-right group Patriot Front. Through reviewing business records, Telegram chats, posts on other social media platforms, and the digital fingerprints left on their website, the Daily Dot can reveal three of the individuals behind the neo-Nazi propaganda operations: Daniel Pemberton-Zikeli, a former military police officer; Zachary Degelau, a former Patriot Front member; and Christopher Pohlhaus, a former Marine and neo-Nazi group leader who tried to create a white supremacist enclave in Maine. (…) Pohlhaus, a 38-year-old former Marine and leader of the neo-Nazi group Blood Tribe, is the apparent operator of Dissident Minds Books, which has sold Invisible Empire Publishing books. Blood Tribe is explicitly neo-Nazi and aims to turn the United States into a white supremacist ethno-state. In 2022, Pohlhaus purchased several acres in Maine, intending to start a white supremacist compound. Pohlhaus has made various posts on X where he has described Dissident Minds Books as “our store,” announced new stock of a white power book, and promoted pre-orders for a flag he designed that combined the Confederate-era Mississippi flag with a Nazi swastika. The two sites, along with Team Europa, sell a range of products. On Invisible Empire Publishing’s web store, shoppers can find copies of Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf, a novel by Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels, and a copy of White Power by George Lincoln Rockwell. It also offers posters, coasters, bottle openers adorned with swastikas, and even resin busts of Adolf Hitler. On Dissident Minds Books’ homepage, shoppers are greeted by the title, How the Jews Betrayed Mankind. Its “featured products” section sells hard copies of SIEGE—a collection of essays authored by infamous neo-Nazi James Mason, which served as the inspiration for militant white supremacist groups like Atomwaffen Division and The Base.
