1/ Meet Paul Joseph Landolt, age 29, aka “Revived,” founder of Atomwaffen Revived, and leader of the Fashlash, a neo-Nazi accelerationist group that split from Atomwaffen in 2018 over internal disagreements.
Landolt is a private pilot in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
2/ In 2017, the Atomwaffen Division planned to sabotage a nuclear facility in Florida, a plan that was cut short when one of their members killed two others and surrendered to police after holding tobacco store employees at gunpoint.
4/ Fashlash, the group run by Landolt, is a splinter of the original Atomwaffen. They formed following internal disagreements, after John Cameron Denton, now imprisoned, became the head of Atomwaffen and began pushing Satanism. justice.gov/usao-edva/pr/f…
5/ So when an Atomwaffen Revived Telegram chat was created on January 31, antifascists rushed to discover who was behind it.
And we did.
6/ The name “Revived” in the title was a dead giveaway.
After that, it was just a matter of tracking down Revived himself.
7/ Rev/Revived is a neo-Nazi of the accelerationist type. He glorifies violence, especially against Black people.
CW: Anti-Black violence
8/ He’s also recently begun a war against fellow neo-Nazi Paul Miller, aka GypsyCrusdaer, who recently moved to the Fort Lauderdale area.
Rev staked out his house and posted the following video displaying his skullmask, associated with accelerationist neo-Nazi groups.
9/ Rev/Landolt also sewed a trail of disinformation, claiming to be an elite soldier who performed interrogations in Iraq.
If he did, I can’t find any record of it, or even of him serving at all.
But that’s what Nazis do.
They lie.
10/ Some things he says are true, though.
He does have a pilot’s license, and frequently posted pictures of his flights.
11/ It’s easy to be distracted by the violence and stalking in Rev’s posts.
The gore overwhelms your senses. It's nauseating.
You want to look away.
But antifascists look closer.
There’s clues dripping from every post.
12/ Let’s take a closer look at this.
Rev claims that “I live like a block away” from the site of the 1935 lynching of Rubin Stacy.
Rest in power, Rubin. You are not forgotten.
And when you announce that, Paul Joseph Landolt, you’re challenging me to find you.
13/ Today, the site of the lynching is known as Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue in Fort Lauderdale.
"Like a block" can mean a lot of things, so let’s make a map of a one-mile radius around the site.
14/ Lots of little cross streets, but you can just list them out in a spreadsheet.
Voter rolls are public information, and you can search by street to get a list of everyone who lives on that street.
Paste all of that into your spreadsheet.
15/ We know that Rev is male, so we can take the women off the list first.
And we know that he’s young-- under 30-- so we can filter by age, and cut our list by three-quarters.
One-by-one, we collect the names of our suspects.
16/ We know he’s a licensed pilot, since we’ve got photos of his flights.
How many of the men under 30 living within one mile of Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue in Fort Lauderdale have a pilot’s license?
It's a short list.
17/ Pilots are federally licensed by the FAA, so you can run the names through the FAA Registry, one-by-one, to narrow your list.
There’s fewer than 700,000 licensed pilots in the US.
18/ 29-year-old Paul Joseph Landolt, who lives squarely within the designated radius, has a private pilot’s license.
It even notes the FAA medical exam he mentioned while talking about lynchings.
19/ And remember the car video, where he threatens Paul Miller with the skullmask?
Let’s look at the interior of the car.
It’s a 2018 Toyota Camry.
Same dashboard display, same buttons on the steering wheel.
20/ Just like the 2018 Toyota Camry registered at the address where Landolt is registered to vote in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
How many men living within one mile of MLK Ave. in Fort Lauderdale have both a pilot's license and a 2018 Toyota Camry?
21/ And now that we’ve got a suspect, let’s do a little digging.
Landolt’s voter registration also lists a phone number.
22/ If I plug that phone number into a clean burner phone and download Snapchat, it asks me if I want to find my contacts.
I do.
With one contact in the phone, it shows me a Snapchat profile for “Revived," matching his username on Telegram.
23/ He’s been using “Revived” as part of his username for years-- “RevivedSGTRock” in 2006, “RevivedCPTRock” in 2007, etc. as well as “CPTBansheeKiller" in an email address posted to 4chan's /k/ weapons board, trying to meet up with other far-right weapons enthusiasts.
24/ This is what antifascists do.
When you attempt to bring back an evil like the Atomwaffen Division, we will expose you.
Nazis fight for power.
Antifascists fight for love.
We fight for the love we hold for our communities, and our love for Blaze Bernstein and Rubin Stacy.
25/ Antifascists risk our lives every day to protect the people we love.
Who protects us?
We protect us.
So say hello to Paul Joseph Landolt, of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the leader of Atomwaffen Revived.
Good luck, Paul. 😘
26/ Looks like I wasn't the only one looking into Revived.
1/ Let’s talk. torchantifa.org/concerning-ant…
I’m being stalked by Elizabeth King and “Codi,”an abusive ex-girlfriend who stole $4000 from me in Sept. 2020, then started claiming I was abusive in Nov. when I wouldn’t get back together. These allegations are literally made up.
2a/ I hate talking about my personal life, so I’ve always demurred to speak publicly. But this has reached the point where I’m getting death threats from leftists, and one of them tried SWATting an old address of mine, hoping the police would murder me.
I can’t live like this.
2b/ It’s worth noting here that @TorchAntifa has known all along that they were provoking death threats against me and others based on completely invented allegations.
Anyone who's not noticing literal Nazis and far-right disinfo grifters like Mike Cernovich rabidly tweeting in support of the GameStop squeeze is a fucking dumbass, and as usual, @lilsarg is correct.
Nazis will try to co-opt *any* movement that's mostly disaffected white people.
It doesn't matter if it's punk rock or furry culture or 4chan or video gaming or the GameStop squeeze.
Any time Nazis see a movement of disaffected (mostly) white people that is not explicitly anti-racist, they come like moths to a flame.
Here's the real test-- will they get any pushback?
Are the GameStop squeezers actually committed to real social change, or are they just angry and lashing out and don't care if Nazis want to lash out with them and declare the whole operation a war on the Jews?
2/ To some of us, this looked a *lot* like GamerGate, a misogynistic harassment campaign whereby a collection of creeps and incels pretended that they were the victims of a liberal gaming press, and leveraged that position to attack feminists.
3/ For people watching the far-right, we saw exactly how hate groups used that to recruit.
In September 2014, alt-right personality Milo Yiannopoulos, then Breitbart's Tech Editor, published the private emails of a games journalist listserv, as evidence of their liberal agenda.
2/ Fuentes' American First followers were among the most enthusiastic who stormed the Capitol Building, and they were egged on by their leader, who livestreamed encouragement throughout the day.
3/ Fuentes himself was on the scene, but I don't have any evidence that he actually entered the Capitol Building himself.
