Hi John, For over a year, I was known as "Chris". That was the undercover name I used to gain access to far-right networks here in the UK and across the Europe. As “Chris”, I attended conferences and meetings, peeling back layers of secrets and revealing a hidden far-right network which argues for eugenic policies, the deportation of European citizens of foreign descent, and the creation of whites-only nations. The Human Diversity Foundation might sound like a progressive or charitable organisation but in reality it is the successor to the Pioneer Fund, a pro-Nazi organisation set up in the 1930s devoted to “racial betterment”. Wearing a hidden camera, I gained access to HDF’s inner circle and exposed a company pushing race science through Aporia, a glossy UK website and podcast. I also encountered Malcolm and Simone Collins, pronatalists who want elites to have more children. During the investigation, I met a secretive company that claims to offer parents the ability to enhance the IQ of their babies through genetic screening. Some of the people I met want to organise society by a strict racial, sexual, and socioeconomic hierarchy, benefitting those they consider to be the elite. Going undercover wasn’t easy. Wearing a wire and misleading people to gain their trust wasn’t something that came naturally to me. But I knew it was the right thing to do. When most people think of the far right, they picture the likes of Tommy Robinson or Nigel Farage, people who wear their hateful ideology on their sleeve. What my investigation taught me is that the far right move in the shadows too. A powerful elite that most of us are completely unaware of. Today we’ve launched our investigation on the HOPE not hate website and with The Guardian. And for the first time, I’m revealing my real name. I’m Harry Shukman, I went undercover in the far right for a year, and now I’m asking you to read our investigation.
