1. Today we find out who is behind the fashy weightlifting bro @HerculeanStren1. The thread will be in three parts. First, what the account is. Second, who founded it. Third, is the last piece of how I confirmed it: Nazi wife.
I might have to break, because it's a lot.
2. Let's start with the account, since it was the first part created back in April 2020.
- Notice the clickbait images and headlines. Looks pretty low class trash. They're only there to drive traffic to the site.
3. What they really want is for people to visit their site to sell them products.
The articles are just the bait on the e-commerce hook. They're not meant to be good, but they do want an endless stream of them. How do I know this?
4. I know this because the guy that runs the Herculean Strength Telegram channel said so.
5. "Conrad Scott" started the channel and runs it, but he's not the person we're discussing today.
Our subject is his business partner.
6. The About Us portion of their site says nothing about the people behind it. They never post photos or videos. On Telegram you learn some about "Conrad Scott" and on Twitter you learn some about his business partner, who runs the Twitter and Facebook.
7. While saying barely over nothing about who they are, they want your CV to vet you for their team. 🤣
8. The pages where they want to sell you their products and services are where they put their time and effort.

9. They have 7 pages of merch to sell you and every page of their website will have links to their services, merchandise, and ads with their affiliate ID in the code.

10. So who is behind Herculean Strength? "Conrad Scott" is a partner, but it looks like he came on well after the founding. We want the founder. Back to the Twitter account.
11. First tweet was deleted and the subsequent two tweets are replies to the replies to that tweet.
The 5th and 6th tweets(top 2 shown) display huge numbers for a new account. What happened?
12. What happened is that they were retweeted by OrwellNGoode.
13. OrwellNGoode later told his followers to follow Herculean Strength, along with other fitness accounts.
14. But it doesn't appear to be OrwellNGoode, because he refers to the account as "these guys".
Maybe one of his friends? 🤔
15. When you search OrwellNGoode and HerculeanStren1 together, look at the responses. Pick any date rage from today back to mid-September 2020 and you'll see responses.

16. They both play rugby, but a lot of people play rugby.
17. The Facebook page for Herculean Strength was telling. Do you see it? The person running the account accessed the page while in Chile, the UK, and the US.
OrwellNGoode lives in Chile after growing up in the UK.
18. The website was created in April 2020 and put out a few articles in the summer, but really didn't start ramping up until September and went into overdrive starting in November. Why? It's a bit odd imho.
19. OrwellNGoode's own Telegram channel was posting almost daily until Sept 24th when it abruptly stopped, posting only one more time ever.
20. OrwellNGoode's Bitchute went dark in August 2020.
21. After posting 1004 articles at NationalFile, OrwellNGoode ceased contributing to them in late October.
You read that right, 1004 articles.
22. Was one of these projects about Lifting?
Do yourself a favor and search posts from OrwellNGoode for "lifting" then look newest to oldest. 😊
23. Orwell's Patreon, left fallow, describes his desire to turn his shitposting into a career. His Patreon got almost no money.
24. His ebooks didn't exactly set the world on fire and I assume he put a lot of effort into them.
Selling alt right losers products and services that they think will improve their lives is profitable. Maybe that's why the political stuff was put on the back burner.
25. . The lifting, the timing of ramping down of stuff while Herculean Strength ramps up, the rugby, the promotion, the ebooks, the countries all match. The memes, the shitposting, the linguistics, match. The desire to make a living online tracks.
Now, the last evidence. 🥳
26. OrwellNGoode is named Alexander Wilkinson. You can read more about him here:
27. Herculean Strength on Twitter follows 104 people and just 32 on Instagram. Interestingly, one of those people is Lizzy Wilkinson. His sister and mom have different first names, so I suspected it was his wife. I know he married in 2019, but the acct here is locked.
28. However it did give me a username: Whiskey Vargas.
29. Whiskey Vargas was one of the first three accounts Herculean Strength followed, along with OrwellNGoode. 😃
30. Both married in November 2019? Word? 🤣
31. This is my favorite, because I've seen this landscape before.
32. Gotcha!
33. Say hello to Elizabeth and Alex Wilkinson together.
34. Before marrying Alex Wilkinson, his wife alienated her friends because of her beliefs. I assume her "Nationalism" had something to do with it.
35. Here's how she describes how they got engaged. Terminally online.
36. Knows his personal friends on Twitter too. Very cool. That's Alex aka OrwellNGoode on the left in the photo.
37. Lizzy Wilkinson has a lot of problems with the holocaust.
38. But Elizabeth Wilkinson really does love Hitler and Nazi imagery. What else would you expect from OrwellNGoode's wife.
39. Elizabeth Wilkinson hates Jewish people.
40. She has quite a bit to say about Jewish people, because she's a rabid antisemite.
41. She's not a fan of Chinese people either. Nice slur Lizzy.
42. Elizabeth Wilkinson lost her prior Twitter account for trans hate. Her LGBTQ hate was pretty thick, but I didn't collect a lot of it. She's a hardcore Catholic and hates tolerant Catholics.
43. Lizzy Wilkinson is at least part Hispanic, but her family is apparently from Spanish lineage and doesn't have much nice to say about indigenous Spanish-speakers.
44. She hates African-Americans as much as she hayes Jewish people. Lizzy Wilkinson is extremely racist.
45. She has a lot of different slurs for them too.
46. Lizzy thinks about lynching and lining people against a wall.
47. She's a piece of shit.
48. Lizzy Wilkinson is a White Nationalist, who believes political violence is needed in America.
Since she's living down in Chile, I assume she's fine with her husband working toward radicalizing more American from there.
49. Hide your phone, Elizabeth.
50. I'll end this by saying that finding Lizzy's old account would likely yield some really bad stuff. She mentioned "noodle" a lot, like in her IG address GoodNoodleWhiskey.
51. "lmao I'm famous". Be a damn shame if a Chilean antifascist or journalist made something of it down in Santiago. Just sayin.
52. Bye Alexander Denys Lyon Wilkinson. 💔
53. Life imitates art
