A recent report published by the Daily Dot has named a Canadian man as likely operating an influential white nationalist social media account.
On the social media site X, Captive Dreamer has managed to gain influential followers like United States Vice President JD Vance and replies from Elon Musk and U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Ed Martin, along with over 73,000 followers.
The account also repeatedly posts white supremacist messaging, downplays the Holocaust, and spreads racist conspiracy theories.
Written by journalists Steven Monacelli and Kyle Phalen, the pair used biographical details posted over years by multiple accounts to determine that Geoffrey Martin, a University of British Columbia graduate, is the man behind Captive Dreamer.
According to the Daily Dot, Captive Dreamer gave details about his work history in restaurants, attending the UBC campus and being a dual US and Canadian citizen.
It is not known if he still lives in Canada, and he may reside in Vancouver, the Pacific Northwest, and Washington state. They also found that he has connections to Abbotsford, a city about an hour outside of Vancouver.
Since the publishing of the article, Captive Dreamer has continued to post a steady stream of messages to his X and Telegram accounts. That includes messages paraphrasing Trump, “They're after you. I'm just in the way,” during a March 5 stream of individual messages.
“I am like so many of you — the forgotten White man. I post on here not for me but for you. We will be forgotten no more.”
“I will never apologize for the colour of my skin. I will never bow down to these leftist hate mobs. I will never back down.
“Don't ever let these people make you feel ashamed for who you are.”
He has also continued to claim credit for initially spreading the story, repeated by Trump during a debate with Kamala Harris, that Haitian immigrants were eating dogs in Springfield, Ohio.
“Every mainstream account who ever talked about the Haitian business in Ohio below (who didn’t give attribution, which was most of them) was a content thief. Many are still taking credit… Captive Dreamer is why you know about Springfield, Ohio.”
Captive Dreamer frequently replies to posts of prominent and far-right figures, including President Trump and members of the US Government. His past posts also include quotes from Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf, and repeatedly downplaying the Holocaust.
“Boohoo the ‘Holocaust’ who gives a shit,” he wrote in a July 2024 post found by Daily Dot.
“I simply don’t care at all about the ‘Holocaust,’” the account wrote in another post. “Means nothing to me.”
Even Martin’s screenname comes from Christian de la Mezière’s memoir, The Captive Dreamer. A novel about the time the author spent fighting for the Waffen SS at the end of the Second World War and his following imprisonment.
Other posts seem to show an attempt by the social media account to distance itself from fascism, while the Daily Dot also found much more explicit messages that had been deleted.
“I believe in Hitler,” Captive Dreamer wrote in a deleted post from June 14, 2024. “In National Socialism, in Total N****r death. They win [sic] about how I talk but that’s because I’m Aryan, confident, and I’m not a fucking MEXICAN F****t like they are.”
The account often makes false claims, previously claiming to be living in Europe or of Jewish heritage
He reportedly comes from a Christian family in British Columbia. The Langley Union reported that Martin’s father, Todd Martin, is the president of Trinity Western University, a Christian university based in Langley, BC.
Captive Dreamer also runs a blog with over 3,000 subscribers where he translates historic writing into English — some of the works are from individuals associated with fascism.
“Captive Dreamer discussed reading in Greek and translating German texts, which corresponds with Martin’s background, winning an award for Greek translation in 2009 and graduating with a major in classics in 2012,” according to the Daily Dot.
His Substack subscriptions may have ultimately led to his downfall and the article exposing Martin says the payment processor gave a contact email that matches other online accounts that use the name Geoff Martin, “including a DropBox account that bears Martin’s full name.”
