This year, Light Upon Light began parading Jeff Schoep around as this reformed person with insider knowledge despite him still actively covering for the people in a neo-Nazi group he used to lead.https://twitter.com/NYCAntifa/status/1169095119791886336?s=20 …

The cover Light Upon Light gives Jeff Schoep lets him grift in dangerous ways. Here he is giving a talk at a counter-terrorism conference hosted by Turkey, an authoritarian country that's actively committing genocide.http://archive.is/hLb9E

While working for Light Upon Light, Meeink tabled for the Clarion Project at a Turning Point USA conference. TPUSA has a long history of members being outed as racists. The white nationalist group Identity Evropa planned to use TPUSA to recruit members. https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/8xybkv/leaked-chats-show-white-nationalist-groups-plot-to-infiltrate-turning-point-usa …pic.twitter.com/ViX1OAKsiH

The Clarion Project's islamophobic bile was cited by white supremacist mass murderer Anders Breivik in his manifesto. Light Upon Light finds it acceptable for their so-called 'former' white nationalists to spread this kind of hatred.https://twitter.com/AntiFashGordon/status/1208386009802690560?s=20 …

But let's not forget Light Upon Light's founder Jesse Morton. Morton claimed he was setting up a meeting between neo-Nazi & Unite the Right's lead organizer Jason Kessler and the government of Israel. There's no proof Kessler has been de-radicalized.http://archive.is/wT1X1

Jesse Morton repeatedly vouched for professional hatemonger Andy Ngo. Ngo helped facilitate a neo-Nazi terror group's kill list of journalists. He also witnessed Patriot Prayer plan an attack on a bar and then lied about it to cover for the attackers.https://twitter.com/scottkernest/status/1194343274745597952?s=20 …

Jesse Morton is unsuitable for deradicalization work. He was an FBI informant, has a manipulative personality & a history of grandiose claims and erratic behavior.https://bit.ly/37oDKqF

Light Upon Light and its previous iteration, Parallel Networks, are not transparent about their funding or what kind of organization they are. Their "Shape Shifters" program obfuscates who's paid by LUL, who volunteers for them and people used by the organization for clout.

Former head of NYPD's intelligence analysis, Mitch Silber, is Light Upon Light's CEO. Silber has worked with Morton before and hasn't made clear what his current role with law enforcement is.

This is just the tip of the iceberg of Light Upon Light's unethical behavior. LUL has threatened former extremists who spoke out against them and used former extremists for clout without their consent. The bottom line is LUL should be held to account, avoided and shunned.

We urge those who want to exit from hate groups to avoid Light Upon Light at all costs. For those in the United States, we recommend Life After Hate as an alternative. https://www.lifeafterhate.org/ For those in the United Kingdom, we recommend Hope Not Hate.https://www.hopenothate.org.uk/

This project documents Light Upon Light's toxic behavior and abuses. Two points to make clear: 1)We hold ourselves accountable to the community of people fighting against fascism. 2)No one involved with this project is a "former"––an ex-white nationalist or other extremist.

We want to again make clear that absolutely no former extremists are involved in this project. We put this policy in place because Light Upon Light has threatened former extremists and otherwise put them in danger.

We will continue to investigate and document Light Upon Light's abuses and questionable behavior. For a brief introduction and some resources on LUL, visit our blog here: https://lightuponlightuponlight.home.blog/ Those who want to reach out can do so at the email in our bio.
