Antisemitic activities

Goyim Defense League

Minadeo is the leader of the Goyim Defense League white supremacist network and the owner-operator of the antisemitic online video platform GoyimTV. The name uses the term goyim, a Hebrew word for non-Jews. He has produced and distributed antisemitic flyers and instructs followers on how to spread antisemitic messages so that they can't be accused of targeting. He is also known for being affiliated with other white supremacists such as GypsyCrusader and Robert Wilson (also known as "Aryan Bacon").

Minadeo uses the social media moniker "Handsome Truth" and wears a chain with a swastika.

Banners and flyers In August 2020, Minadeo did a banner drop over a Los Angeles highway that read "Honk if you know the Jews want a race war."

Jewish congregation In late February 2023, Minadeo, holding a microphone, was captured flashing Hitler salutes and shouting antisemitic language at people leaving a Chabad congregation in South Orlando, including yelling "Heil Hitler" and telling people to "go back to Israel" and asking one person, "Sir, do you think you should be put in an oven?" The congregation's Rabbi, Yosef Konikov, said of the group, "What they're accomplishing is actually the opposite of what they think they’re accomplishing." and that, "It only strengthens us, strengthens the Jewish resolve, and the Jewish people around the world get more support from the goyim. So if they're listening: Thanks."

Arrests In September 2022, Minadeo was arrested in Poland under hate speech laws after he and Robert Wilson demonstrated in front of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp; his swastika necklace and computer were confiscated. Minadeo was arrested on June 26, 2023 for disorderly conduct and public disturbance at Temple Beth Israel in downtown Macon, Georgia during an antisemitic protest he organized. In November 2023, Minadeo was sentenced to 30 days in jail after being convicted of throwing antisemitic pamphlets from his truck. He was tried on a charge of littering, which carried a maximum sentence of 30 days. Later that month, Minadeo was set to be tried again for another incidence of littering, but the charges were dropped after video evidence showed that it was done by someone else.

Lawsuit In June 2025, Minadeo was sued by Deago Buck for an assault that took place in Nashville in July 2024. Buck was reportedly beaten, had his eyes gouged, and was struck by the pole of a swastika flag while members of the Goyim Defense League livestreamed the incident as it unfolded. A case management conference for the lawsuit was scheduled for 15 December 2025. On 1 June 2026, Minadeo attempted to have the case dismissed but was overruled by a federal judge. As of 22 July 2026 the case is still ongoing.

Omegle Minadeo regularly runs shock-jock live-streams on GoyimTV where he baits young people on the live online video chat website Omegle and shouts racist insults at them. Minadeo also reads comments of viewers who donate, raising hundreds of dollars during streams.
