The incident was textbook.
A beat-up sedan with South Carolina plates rolled slowly through a quiet Gaston County neighborhood. Houses in the 400-500k range, the kind of place people work their whole lives to buy for their families.
The driver, a man in a neon green shirt, glasses, and black cap, leaned out the passenger window and started throwing plastic-bagged copies of Conservative Action Report Vol. XVI No. 2 into driveways, bushes, and yards like it was his personal right. He could pass for any Bible Belt scammer claiming to preach from the Good Book while holding a noose behind his back.
One resident had seen enough.
He got back in his truck, followed the car, pulled out his phone, and started recording. The second the distributor saw the camera, he flipped.
“I’m gonna have you arrested!” he screamed, angry and scared at the same time.
The resident calmly replied he’d be happy to wait for the police. The man floored it and drove around him.
The tipster, the resident who confronted the litterer, later told me the story. When he mentioned calling the police, my eyes did a hard roll. I’ve heard this before. I’ve been through it before.
Racial terror and those who traffic in it are almost always protected by the blue pulling back. Gaston County Police and the Sheriff’s Department have a documented pattern of treating this exact kind of neo-Confederate leaflet drop as “just littering.” They logged the 2016 KKK flyers the exact same way and did absolutely nothing.
So when the tipster said police would do nothing, I already knew the script.
Then I started digging. The names, the connections, and the picture became even darker.
Few years back I remember fondly making an emotionally charged post on r/BlackPeopleTwitter. It was of Dylann Roof’s arraignment. My title was simple: “He Better Not Get A Last Meal.”
Because after that young man slaughtered innocent church goers, police took him for a ride, and it wasn’t a nickel ride. It was a ride to McDonald’s. They fed him. They protected him. They treated him like a citizen while nine Black bodies lay in a church.
The publication is Conservative Action Report, produced by the South Carolina Conservative Action Council out of P.O. Box 486, Bowling Green, SC. The editor and publisher is William G. Carter III, a Saluda/Clover chiropractor.
He was the South Carolina campaign chairman for David Duke in 1992 and the leader of the South Carolina chapter of the Council of Conservative Citizens, the exact hate group Dylann Roof cited in his manifesto before walking into Mother Emanuel AME Church and executing nine Black parishioners.
That same Council of Conservative Citizens network, the one that radicalized Roof with its Black-on-White crime obsession, its Confederate nostalgia, its replacement theory poison, never faced real accountability. The group that provided the ideological fuel for the Charleston massacre kept operating.
Carter and his longtime associate Nelson Waller, SCCAC Vice Chairman and Associate Editor of the newsletter, simply rebranded the same hate through the South Carolina Conservative Action Council and kept printing and distributing it.
As painful as it is to re-account all of these truly disturbing accounts of hate, one thing is clear: there is a new generation that is willing to show that generation that hate has no place here.
Was it enough to keep the bastard at bay? One can’t know. But every action matters. When one person stands, others will too. We often feel that these systems are rigged and they are. But when enough people say no more, a fundamental change occurs and it happens in the most unsuspecting ways.
So we here at Eyes on Intel say thank you for being an ally. Thank you for keeping your mind open and your heart. Your actions represent a future worth living in.
This is not the end of this story. I have created a weekend special podcast that will be digging into the inner workings and radicalization of Dylan Roof. All of these depraved actions are connected to the very machine that grinds migrants. Through this research this very hate group had a Build the Wall rally and are recognized by the ADL.
If you find yourself in a similar situation, know this: we will put our eyes on the intel. At the end of the day all of these systems are stacked on top of each other and when you pull the legs out it all comes crashing down.

☢️ 4. THE HATE GROUP NEXUS: Dylann Roof Connection
The Pipeline: Carter and Waller led the SC chapter of the Council of Conservative Citizens (CoCC).
The Radicalization: The CoCC is the explicit white supremacist organization cited in Dylann Roof’s manifesto. The group’s obsession with demographic replacement and Black-on-White crime provided the ideological foundation for the 2015 Mother Emanuel AME Church massacre. Read the SPLC Hatewatch investigation on the CoCC.
The Rebrand: Following the massacre, Carter and Waller rebranded their operations under the South Carolina Conservative Action Council (SCCAC), maintaining the exact same PO Box and rhetoric.
🛡️ 5. SYSTEMIC COMPLICITY & LOCAL FAILURES
Gaston County Law Enforcement (704-869-6800): Documented history of classifying organized racial intimidation as “just littering.” KKK flyers dropped using the exact same tactic in 2016 were logged with zero subsequent enforcement.
Internal Police Fractures: GCPD is facing active federal civil rights lawsuits from Black captains alleging systemic racial bias and blocked minority advancement, showing the department structurally protects the racial/class order these leaflets defend.
Neighborhood Hostility: The drop capitalized on existing fractures. Black residents and Harris-sign supporters were already facing coordinated harassment from conservative neighbors and a complicit, “unofficial” HOA.
⚖️ 6. ACTIONABLE STRATEGY & EXPOSURE
The Strategy: The SCCAC survives in the shadows. Direct confrontation shatters their operational security.
Your Platform: Expose the network publicly. SEEK THE SIGNAL: Eyes On ICE Substack.
