Remember Joel Campbell, the "former" Topeka Kansas Proud Boy running for local city council? Well all his claims about being a "former Proud Boy" are unsurprisingly bullshit, as made clear by his Telegram account. More below! 1/ cjonline.com/story/news/pol…
We found the Telegram account Joel currently uses, which indicates he is still a 3rd degree Proud Boy, a rank determined by having a Proud Boy tattoo. Joel's past profile picture also features a sonnenrad, an explicitly neo-Nazi symbol, and the words "right wing death squad". 2/
Joel also posted in a neo-Nazi chat his "White Boy Summer" challenge coin, featuring the term "surf the kali yuga" a reference to the mystical Nazi writings of Savitri Devi, a devout Nazi who saw Hitler as a avatar of the Hindu god Vishnu. 3/
We'll keep this short, but we find it important to dispel the notion that Joel Campbell is some sort of moderate former Proud Boy, when he is in fact still a Proud Boy, and in addition, a Proud Boy who fully embraces neo-Nazism

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/…

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

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/
