Here’s some highlights from the introductory article in our new #stormerbreaker series on members of the PDX chapter of the neo-Nazi Daily Stormer Book Club. rosecityantifa.org/articles/pdxst…
The Daily Stormer Book Clubs are a network of neo-Nazi cells spread across the US, Canada and Europe that began on Andrew Anglin’s The Daily Stormer web forum. Within these smaller regional groups, fascists can meet IRL to coordinate racist intimidation/violence. #stormerbreaker
Over the past two years, the PDX Stormers have disseminated racist and anti-Semitic propaganda throughout the Portland metro area, in some instances intentionally targeting elementary school children with their anti-Semitic flyering. #stormerbreaker
In this series we're revealing the identities of three previously-unidentified members of the PDX Stormer neo-Nazi cell: Matthew Blais (aka beornmod in the CCC Discords), Bogdan Gerasimyuk (cos/sinWA), and Michael Dorsey (KommieKillinKowboy). #stormerbreaker
@PNWAWC first identified one member of the PDX Stormers last year: Registered sex offender and violent neo-Nazi Jarl Rockhill. pnwawc.com/2017/10/19/pat… #stormerbreaker
We subsequently identified another local Stormer: Truly basic neo-Nazi garbage Alexander Wolfgang Becker. rosecityantifa.org/articles/alexa… #stormerbreaker
The PDX Stormers first made public waves on 3/12/2017, when they were were filmed throwing a slur-laden tantrum as their cozy fascist meeting was kicked out of a local pub. Staff identified them as the source of Nazi leaflets that got distributed at the bar. #stormerbreaker Matthew Blais (aka beornmod) name-drops Weev in the CCC Discords while discussing the press attention following 3/12/17.
In private chats, PDX Stormers revel in the racist behavior permitted at Joey Gibson’s rally on 4/2/2017. Participating are PDX Stormers Bogdan Gerasimyuk (aka Chuck Shoomer) and Matthew Blais (Not Alois Brunner), as well as infamous Eugene neo-Nazi Jimmy Marr. #stormerbreaker
Matthew Blais (beornmod) posts a photo in the CCC Discord of PDX Stormers holding an anti-Semitic banner over I-205 in Vancouver on 8/20/2017. Matthew Stafford (My Name Is Hate) and Atomwaffen Division member Kaleb Cole (khimaere) respond with approval. #stormerbreaker
On 2/14/2018 Nikolas Cruz murdered 17 people at Stoneman Douglas High School. The PDX Stormers subsequently posted propaganda at gun-sellers around Vancouver, WA, characterizing liberal efforts to enact gun control as a Jewish conspiracy. #stormerbreaker
After the PDX Stormers posted those same anti-Semitic fliers around Clark College in Vancouver on 3/19/2018, the college held a forum to address this and other racist incidents on campus, at which a co-director of the Chabad Jewish center addressed the audience... #stormerbreaker
Less than three weeks later, anti-Semitic flyers were found near the Chabad Jewish center in SE Portland. On the left in the image below is a Gab post by PDX Stormer Jarl Rockhill. On the right is a nearly-identical flyer found at the SE Portland Chabad center. #stormerbreaker
On 6/30/2018 Joey Gibson held an unprecedentedly violent Patriot Prayer rally in downtown Portland. The PDX Stormers, capitalizing on the distraction Gibson's event provided, held their own “march” through downtown Vancouver at the same time. #stormerbreaker
They also made a trip into Portland to put up branded Daily Stormer flyers in the Lents neighborhood of SE Portland, encouraging racists to report undocumented people to ICE. The Stormers had already placed other anti-Semitic flyers in Lents earlier that summer. #stormerbreaker
Though their cartoonish internet troll aesthetic may lend them a veneer of absurdity, the purpose of the DSBCs is unmistakable–since 2016 alone, too many lives have been lost as The Daily Stormer’s incitements to genocidal violence have come to fruition. #stormerbreaker
So stay tuned in the coming days and weeks as we continue this series--help us spread the word in our communities about who Matthew Blais, Bogdan Gerasimyuk, and Michael Dorsey really are, and what kind of world they're trying to create. #stormerbreaker
