On this beautiful Tuesday we want to introduce you all to the neo-Nazi ex-cop Joshua Logan Barham of Searcy, Arkansas!! While acting as a deputy jailer in White County, AR, Josh was (and still is) an active participant in neo-Nazi chat networks. Let's learn more shall we?
1/

Josh goes by "Scotty Willy" on Telegram, where he is close with our old buddy Chris Pohlhaus, known as The Hammer. Chris has created a sizable chat network, and Josh is part of Chris' inner circle of Nazi friends that helps to administer that network.

For some background and context on Chris Pohlhaus and his neo-Nazi chat network, you can check out our work in the thread linked above, or in @IwriteOK 's fantastic piece for Bellingcat!

Josh is very well connected to Chris and his Hammer network. Aside from being featured on Chris' The Hammer channel and appearing on livestreams with Chris, Josh has his own "sticker pack" on Telegram, which features numerous personal pictures of Josh.

On Telegram, Josh makes clear he is an out and out neo-Nazi. Content he shares includes praise for white supremacist mass shooters, various videos of extreme violence, his copy of the neo-Nazi terrorism manual Siege, and the phrase "race traitors won't get human rights"

Unfortunately for him, Josh isn't the brightest, and shared a huge amount of personal information on Telegram, including numerous pictures of himself. Josh also shared a screenshot of a post he liked on Instagram, leading us to an Instagram account and username he regularly uses.

This username led us to a huge number of Josh's personal accounts. These accounts were confirmed to belong to the same person from pictures posted on both Josh's neo-Nazi Telegram account and his personal accounts.

Josh's Facebook also hinted at his neo-Nazi views. Although his politics are dramatically tuned down, Josh shares a number of far right memes and posts, many of them Boogaloo related. He can also be seen wearing a shirt featuring the cover of a neo-fascist book.

We also learned through Josh's Linkedin that he was a law enforcement officer with the White County Sheriff's Dept. While he left law enforcement in late March 2021, the fact that Josh was a police officer while engaging in online neo-Nazi activity is extremely concerning.

This means that while Josh Barham was acting as a cop, he was also posting swastikas on Telegram, advocating for violence against mixed race couples, sharing videos of ISIS executing LGBTQIA+ people, and advocating for a race war. That is not insignificant. @WhiteCtySheriff

Josh is no longer in law enforcement and has decided to pursue welding training at the Arkansas Elite Welding Academy in Quitman, AR. Please contact them if you want to inform them of Josh's genocidal neo-Nazi views, but please be respectful and polite, as they likely do not know

To close, Joshua Barham is not only a well connected and explicitly violent neo-Nazi, but he is also a former cop and notable member of a semi-significant neo-Nazi network. Folks in Arkansas and elsewhere should be aware of Josh and his genocidal views.
