In light of the connections between Lyndon McLeod, the Denver mass shooter and "crypto-fascist" groups like Operation Werewolf and Wolves of Vinland, we'd like to introduce you to Patrick Duggan, an adherent from Long Island who runs Vamachara Tattoo in Port Jefferson, NY.
The "ideology" underpinning the Wolves of Vinland/ Operation Werewolf blends hyper-masculinity with counter-culture, racism, & pre-Germanic folk traditions. The founder of this bs, Paul Waggener, cribbed heavily from Julius Evola, a fascist philosopher. rosecityantifa.org/articles/the-w…
Operation Werewolf members engage in scripted violence with other Far Right groups. In August 2020, Operation Werewolf member Richard Bowman II attended a Far Right rally in Portland armed w/ a baton and hard-knuckle gloves looking to attack antifascists.
In 2012, Wolves of Vinland member, Maurice "Hjalti" Michaely, did 2 years in prison for burning down a historic Black church & causing over $1 mil in damage. He took the below photo of Patrick Duggan (on the right), who goes by "bikervvitch_tattooer" on IG, and other WoV members.
In the wake of the shooting, which killed five people, other notorious nazis are promoting the Denver shooter and telling others to take 'inspiration' from him.
And as the links between the Denver shooter and others on the Far Right continue to pile up, many are wondering what can be done to stop groups and people who "are inspired by" the kind of ideas promoted by the Wolves of Vinland.
One thing we can do is expose potential radicalization vectors in our communities. Patrick Duggan is one such vector. He runs Vamachara Tattoo in Port Jefferson, NY, and has associated w/ Wolves of Vinland since at least 2017. He is pictured tattooing its founder, Paul Waggener.
In the accompanying text to the photo of Patrick Duggan tattooing the Wolves of Vinland founder Paul Waggener, Patrick writes a lot of 'spiritual' garbage, reps Operation Werewolf & Wolves of Vinland, & indicates attending a ritual at Ulfheim, the WoV compound in Virginia.
Ulfheim, the Wolves of Vinland compound, is a meetup point for fascists. Patrick Duggan, who goes by "bikervvitch_tattooer" on Instagram, has been there many times, including to go shooting with Cody Quinlan, who is behind the eco-fascist "wilderness cult" Wandervogel.
The Wolves of Vinland compound, Ulfheim, hosts Baldr's Funeral, a ritual where the fash get drunk and set a ship on fire. Patrick Duggan has attended one. So has Jack Donovan, a fascist who was so impressed by this "authentic brotherhood of men" he joined the group for a time!
Groups like Wolves of Vinland and Operation Werewolf try to fly under-the-radar by masking racist, patriarchal, and violent messaging in esoteric references that are not easily identified and by promoting themselves in already (often) misunderstood subcultures.
Patrick Duggan exemplifies this cultural framing of fascism--he runs Vamachara, a tattoo and "occult supply shop" in Port Jefferson, NY. He is pictured wearing a t-shirt for the National Socialist Black Metal band, Peste Noire, which incorporates the White Aryan Resistance logo.
Patrick Duggan's girlfriend, who also works at Vamachara, is a (wannabe) 'social media influencer' who goes by "_SpookyTooth" on Instagram and TikTok. She casually posts about racist black metal bands (like Burzum) and her life with Patrick.
Operation Werewolf/Wolves of Vinland also try to use physical fitness to promote their garbage ideology. Wolf Brigade is a gym owned/operated By Greg Walsh, and is located in Rochester, NY. There are at least 10 other affiliated gyms across North America.

Tor Gustafsson Brookes AKA "Catboy Kami" is a Far-Right livestreamer from Australia. He was arrested in Williamsburg last night for harassing an Ultra Orthodox Jewish area--broadcasting messages like "Hitler was right." He is staying at an Airbnb. @AirbnbHelp
You may remember this scumbag because he "hung out" with Nick Fuentes and was also seen with Baked Alaska at a "Stop the Steal" rally in Arizona in 2020.
It's unclear if Catboy Kami is still in custody or if he will be charged.
However, his entire business model is being a bigot and trying to upset people, so when he does get out, there is a good chance he'll keep up the bigoted trolling for views & cred.
Due to Juneteenth, Nazis from different initiatives are mobilizing over the weekend to spread their hateful BS. Expect flyers & pop-up banners in some dusty location.
Their main goal is to get into the media. We suggest not giving Nazis what they desperately want!

Fascists rely on social media to spread their message. This weekend, Nazis are planning to create sock accounts, pretending to be 'outraged' about these actions to seed footage on social media. Patriot Front loves this tactic & other Nazis are adopting it.
Before you put up video/pix of Nazi BS you encounter on social media, redact! Do not post unredacted Nazi propaganda. It's easy to slap a 💩 on swastikas. Black out URLs. Strike out group names. Don't give them the "fearful" response they get off on-- we're stronger than them.
There was an abortion access protest in Dallas, Texas today that was protected by armed pro-choice activists. Predictably, online Far Right personalities cried about it.
It's Sunday of Pride weekend in NYC, with both the Queer Liberation & corporate Pride marches taking place in Manhattan today.
Please be aware of various bad actors w/ cameras that may be out there trying to create content to feed the Far Right video gristmill

Far Right YouTuber, "Zykotik," is at Pride right now. He was arrested for participating in the J6 siege of the Capitol. He's been active in NYC lately--going to a poorly-attended incel music show in Brooklyn & was out for the protests on Friday in the Times Square area
His look:
Zykotik's real name is Zvonimir Jurlina. He is tight with the whole America First, Nick Fuentes crowd. When the groypers protested at Gracie Mansion last year, Zykotik roamed the streets singing racist/fascist songs. rawstory.com/zykotik-zvonim…
🚨ALERTA MASSACHUSETTS🚨
Patriot Front member Kyle Morelli (Vincent MA/TX/PA) is getting married on Saturday (Jan 29)! His wedding will be in Peabody and the reception in Groveland. Lots of Patriot Front fascists are planning to be there! discordleaks.unicornriot.ninja/rocket-chat/ro…
Kyle Morelli (AKA "Vincent") has moved a bunch in the past year (e.g. in December 2021, he moved from Texas to Pennsylvania).
But in July 2021, he was in Massachusetts and was caught putting up Patriot Front graffiti in a Salem commuter rail station. masslive.com/news/2021/07/w…
In the Patriot Front leaks, Kyle Morelli (Vincent TX) discussed his wedding plans with fellow Patriot Front fascists. We highlight some of the fascist scum who indicated they planned to attend Kyle's nuptials in the rest of the thread. (100% RSVP, bro) discordleaks.unicornriot.ninja/rocket-chat/ro…
In addition to exposing Patriot Front members, the leaks also show the close connection btwn PF and Rob Rundo's fascist endeavors--Rise Above Movement, Will2Rise, Active Clubs, Media2Rise.
Rundo is selling merch through the "shopw2r" store, and uses payment processor @usaepay.
The "w2r" in "shopw2r" is the abbreviation for Will2Rise, Rundo's latest attempt at building a fascist movement. This is done through "Active Clubs" & Telegram--which promotes white supremacy & his clothing brand (among other things)
The Rise Above Movement is perhaps most infamous--since the white nationalist gang perpetrated numerous assaults at Unite the Right in Charlottesville as well as several California cities. propublica.org/article/white-…
