So far, we've identified two of the individuals who attended a 2020 neo-Nazi meetup at Ringing Rocks Park in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Photo'd below are neo-Nazis Matthew Robert Guse & Gregory Anthony Cristiano (who is also a pedophile & sex offender). A 🧵... /1
Scranton resident Matthew Guse was exposed by @discord__panic in 2019 as a member of white nationalist organization Identity Evropa (then rebranded as "The American Identity Movement"). Below is a summary of Panic's article from @IGD_News column TWIF. /2 panicinthediscord.noblogs.org/post/2019/11/1…
Despite his Nazi affiliations, Guse was allowed to graduate from Lackawanna College in May 2020. Unfortunately, the photos here prove that (despite scrubbing the internet of accounts using his real name or Identity Evropa username) Guse is still involved in Nazi organizing. /3
Next is Upper Black Eddy, PA resident Gregory Anthony Cristiano. Cristiano is not only a neo-Nazi. He is also a pedophile and sex offender, according to public records which you can access here: /4 offenderradar.com/offender-detai…
Ringing Rocks Park is located in the town of neo-Nazi Gregory Cristano's residence -- Upper Black Eddy -- so it is likely that he was the one to suggest this meetup with his fellow neo-Nazis. FYI Cristiano also has connections to the NY town of Massapequa. /5
All attendees proudly display roman salutes in 2 separate photos. Photo'd also, a medallion featuring a Nazi Eagle, with the swastica replaced by an Edelweiss flower. See 🧵 below for more info about the fascist imagery displayed by these neo-Nazis. /6
We're still looking into the identities of these three neo-Nazis. Their meetup was in Bucks County, Pennsylvania so it is likely that they live somewhere in eastern PA or western/central NJ. Feel free to send tips via DM or ProtonMail. /7
We don't tolerate Nazi organizing in our region. If you get together with your Nazi friends in public, we will let the world know who you are. Cut ties with all supremacist contacts and begin your journey toward deradicalization, or we WILL expose you. #WeKeepUsSafe /8

Correction: Gregory Anthony Cristiano is a resident of Upper Black Eddy, PA. Apologies for the typo in the image above.

We wanted to add a little more context to Lynch's statements. We think it is necessary to push back against the urge to dismiss him bc he is a crackpot. The sad truth is that this rhetoric is typical of the Patriot Movement (PM) & representative of its historical development.
From 'Insurgent Supremacists' by Matthew N Lyons. The Patriot Movement developed out of the white nationalist Posse Comitatus movement & the theocratic Christian right. Conspiracism & armed militancy is the glue that binds the different currents within the Patriot Movement.
Posse Comitatus was an explicitly white nationalist, antisemitic militia network founded in 1971. Lynch's repeated calls to violence need to be understood in light of the ideological significance of county-level politics within the American far right.
These FTV influencers are also the biggest mouthpieces for M4M4ALL -- including Jack Posobiec-associate Niko House, his MCSC network (including The Convo Couch & Facts on the Ground), "Fred Hampton Leftists" podcast network, Jimmy Dore, and others. /8
In regard to Jimmy Dore and his syncophants, the late Michael Brooks hit the nail on the head years ago. /9
These influencers forged connections with far-right militia the Boogaloo Boys, as well as other far-right figures such as Kevork Almassian and holocaust denier Ryan Dawson. tl;dr They advocate the left work with fascists to defeat "the establishment."
We've been looking into the March for Medicare for All & the more we dig, the more issues we discover. Below is a thread of our prelim. findings relating to #M4M4ALL. Follow the link in our bio to read our open letter. A more thorough article incoming in the next week or so. /1
M4M4ALL is a multi-city march in support of M4A. While M4M4ALL sounds like a great development, a closer examination reveals poor OPSEC & vetting, ties to crypto-fascist influencers & other far-right operatives, & a culture of conspiracism among organizers. The basics... /2
We became aware of M4M4ALL when their Insta page boosted neo-Nazi Matthew Heimbach in late June. In response to good-faith critiques by trusted organizers, M4M4ALL leadership defaulted to conspiracism & claimed the criticism resulted from a non-existent "establishment op." /3
CROH would like to introduce you to Alan Swartz, a police officer working for @KutztownU with a habit of sharing his racist, transphobic, & anti-Muslim views publicly online. Stick around for the 🚨Action Step🚨 at the end of this 🧵 & help KU students get rid of this officer. /1
On Feb 3rd, Kutztown University Activists (KUA) released a trove of bigoted posts from Swartz's FB profile. Content included support for white supremacist teenage murderer Kyle Rittenhouse & content invoking racist "lost cause" historical revisionism. /2 inclusivehistorian.com/lost-cause-myt…
Another post is riddled with content demeaning the trans folks, immigrants, and abortion rights. Additionally, Swartz posted anti-Muslim content, including conspiracy theories about progressive congresswomen Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib. /3
CROH would like to introduce you to Bangor, PA resident Amie Eckert. Eckert is the Lehigh Valley Tea Party member who organized bus trips transporting dozens of LV residents to the violent "Million MAGA Rallies" & the fascist coup attempt at the Capitol on Jan. 6th. (1/19)
Amie Eckert rapidly radicalized around the 2020 US Presidential Election. She hosted "pro-Trump flag rallies" in the Lehigh Valley. At one such event in Easton, PA on Oct. 30th, 2020, Eckert was charged by Palmer Township Police for Harassment and Disorderly Conduct. (2/19)
Eckert lawyered up, taking on LVTP Chairman Tom Caroll as her attorney. In 2007, Caroll was forced to resign from his position as Assistant District Attorney for Northampton County after he engaged in a racist prank against a black colleague. (3/19) mcall.com/news/elections…
