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! bellingcat.com/news/americas/…

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. 4/
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" 5/
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. 7/
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. 8/
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. 9/
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 10/
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.
Yesterday, members of the neo-Nazi group Nationalist Social Club (NSC) showed up for a pitiful White Lives Matter rally in Wakefield, Ma. Likely among them was their new recruit Andrew S. Hazelton of Portland, Maine. Let's say hi to Andrew and let him know he's not welcome 1/
Andrew, originally from Westford, Massachusetts, is 28 years old and joined NSC about a month ago after being recruited in an affiliate chat. On Telegram, an encrypted messaging app, Andrew goes by the name "Andrew Anagnorisis" 2/
Hello everyone! Say hello to Steven Mark Van Zelst Jr, AKA "Vlood". Steven is a virulent neo-Nazi, violent misogynist, and friend of terrorists. He is currently living in Boston, Massachusetts as a student at Boston University @BU_Tweets . Let's get to know Steven! 1/
At this point we would like to give a huge content warning. Many of the things discussed in relation to Steven are very disturbing and triggering. Please take the time to take care of yourself
TW: Sexual assault, slurs, self harm, harassment of minors
2/
Steven's involvement in neo-Nazism goes back several years, and is, for the mostpart online. Thanks to @UR_Ninja and @DDoSecret we were able to access some of his old discord messages in neo-Nazi chats. Here, he introduces himself as a National Socialist at only 16 years old. 3/
Today @MichaelEHayden and @MeganSquire0 put out a great article on the streaming service Dlive that platforms white supremacists like Nick Fuentes. They listed a few accounts streaming from the Capitol Coup yesterday and one seemed familiar... Woozuh
Woozuh, who's real name is Jared L. Nobel of Tacoma, Washington, was an early friend of ours wayyy back in March. Jared is an acolyte of white supremacist Nick Fuentes known as a Groyper, and it seems that Jared had a fun time at the Capitol yesterday!!! 2/

Tomorrow, January 6th, MAGA chuds, Proud Boys, and white supremacists are planned to descend on Washington D.C. to contest the election. Among them will be NSC-131, a New England based neo-Nazi organization. Let's welcome them by saying hi to one of their members, Eddie Stuart!
Edward Stuart, from Chester, New Hampshire, has been a member of Nationalist Social Club (NSC) since the very beginning and is a staple participant in their actions. He is known in NSC chats as "Carl Jung" and is well connected in the New England Nazi scene. 2/
NSC-131 is a neo-Nazi group that was started in Massachusetts in early 2020 by Chris Hood. You can learn more about NSC and it's members in these threads:
Hi there everyone! Today we've got an extra special neo-Nazi accelerationist and Terrorgram loser from Grangeville, Idaho! Give a warm welcome to Joseph Bruzas Mcguigan of Grangeville, Idaho, better known as "Nazgul" to his Nazi buddies!! Hi Joey :-) 1/
Joey here is a budding figure in the online neo-Nazi community and has had several ventures in neo-Nazi activism. In this community he is known as "Nazgul" but is not to be confused with Grayson Denton, a member of Atomwaffen Division who also went by Nazgul 2/
Joey runs a neo-Nazi Telegram channel which he has named "Racism Factory" but formerly went by Operation Defiance. On this channel Joey spreads violent neo-Nazi propaganda, praises mass shooters, and harrasses people of color and Jews. 3/
Happy Holidays everyone!!! Let's close out the year by saying hi to a very special Vermonter and Atomwaffen Division affiliate Dylan Michael Chambers of Brattleboro, Vermont! Dylan is the neo-Nazi who has been pasting Nazi propaganda around Brattleboro, and we wanna say hi! 1/
We initially got acquainted with Dylan thro his Telegram, which we found in a old chat organized by Zephyr Garrison, an east coast U.S. member of neo-Nazi terror groups The Base and FeuerKrieg Division. Read all about Zephyr and his chats here: eugeneantifa.noblogs.org/post/2020/04/0… 2/
Unfortunately for Dylan, an old Telegram profile picture of his was also posted on his personal facebook. Whoops! His identity was also confirmed by an anonymous source formerly connected to Dylan. 3/
