Jon Minadeo is the leader of the neo-Nazi organization Goyim Defense League (GDL), one of the largest white supremacist organizations in the country. The GDL is responsible for tens of thousands of white supremacist, antisemitic, and anti-LGBTQ+ flyers distributed around the country, alongside physical protests, banner drops, and other displays of hate.
Property records and video evidence show Jon Minadeo moved to a ranch in Springfield, MO in November, 2024.

Background on GDL
The Goyim Defense League is a neo-Nazi organization started in 2018, mainly attracting 9/11 truthers, flat-earthers, and other conspiracy theorists who got so far down the rabbit hole that they embraced Holocaust denial. The GDL is structured more like a cult of personality around Minadeo and his Nazi livestreams, and less a real political organization. Many of the white supremacist movement’s rejects have glomed onto the GDL, including pedophiles, murderers, and failed rappers. One of Jon Minadeo’s core segments on his livestream involves going into video chatrooms with young children and attempting to groom them into white supremacy if they’re white, or bullying them & calling them slurs if they are not. Minadeo’s child grooming and harassment is performed to an audience of hundreds of angry neo-Nazis who give him tips for putting on a good show. Neither the children being targeted nor their parents know that they are being recorded and broadcasted.
Jon Minadeo’s Move to Missouri
On a livestream in November 2024, Minadeo stated that he was moving to Arkansas to join Billy Roper’s Ozarkia white nationalist project and has posted videos from a moving truck.
Thanks to a loose-lipped member of Billy Roper’s Shieldwall Network, we learned that Jon Minadeo was lying about moving to Arkansas to throw us off, and had in fact moved “150 miles north of where the Shield Wall Network is headquartered, […] in Missouri.”
Content warning for racism, antisemism, and homophobia.
An interview with a Shield Wall Network member on the All I’m Sayin’ livestream, which is an anti-GDL, but still Nazi broadcast.
We know that Roper’s Shield Wall Network is based around Fayetteville, AR, we noticed that Springfield, MO is about 150 miles north, so that’s where we began looking for a house that matched the workout videos Jon Minadeo posts from his garage.
We found a Zillow listing on E Linwood Drive that was sold on October 17th, 2024 that perfectly matches Minadeo’s unique tandem garage.
According to the Green County Assessor, 3456 E Linwood Drive is owned by the Whitney Tanner Family Trust, which is managed by GoyimTV LLC with Jon Minadeo (formerly of Petaluma, CA) listed as the registered agent.
We believe GDL member and close associate Anthony Hammer is also probably living with Jon Minadeo in Springfield.
Jon Minadeo’s roommate in Florida, Jonathan Baldwin, may also be living in the Springfield house.
If you have any information about any of these men, please let us know.
What You Can Do
Springfield, MO is now the headquarters of one of the largest neo-Nazi hate groups in the country. Jon Minadeo broadcasts his show from his home, organizes racist marches, and prints thousands of antisemitic, anti-LGBTQ+, and white supremacist flyers. On top of that, Dominic DiGiorgio, the man who runs the GDL’s merchandise operation, is planning on moving his Nazi print shop to the area.
There is a common misconception that bigots like Minadeo benefit from this sort of attention. Minadeo fled Petaluma, CA after pressure from the community and Dominic DiGiorgio created the above fundraiser after flyers were mailed to his neighbors informing them that their neighbors manufactures swastika flags in his basement. Fascism thrives when left unchallenged.
Distribute Flyers
