Hello friends. Today we're profiling Luke Winchester-Kenna a neo-Nazi from Gloversville, NY with ties to The Wolves of Vinland, Militant Ruralism, Wolf Brigade Gym, and the Denver shooter who murdered five people last Monday.
On 12/27/21 a white supremacist named Lyndon McLeod murdered Alicia Cardenas, Alyssa Gunn-Maldonado, Michael Swinyard, Daniel Schofield, and Sarah Steck in Denver, Colorado. He premeditated these acts in a book he authored called, “Sanction.”
Luke and the shooter were mutuals on Instagram, and frequently interacted each other’s posts. They existed in very similar online circles and followed many of the same people. The pair both have significant associations with the Wolves of Vinland, a neo-Nazi cult.
Kenna is also tied to Rural Nexion, a compound associated with the Militant Ruralism movement and the Order of Nine Angles.
We exposed the members of this compound in an article last year.
Rural Nexion maintained a telegram server for like minded individuals to discuss the logistics of building compounds and other miscellaneous neo-Nazi bullshit. Luke was a frequent poster in this channel, and plugged his writings for his fellow Nazis to read.
We are making the logs from this telegram channel public to Antifascists and journalists who research the far-right. If you are interested in accessing them, please reach out to us at CVAntifa@riseup.net.
In December of 2019, we wrote an article about the connections between Wolf Brigade Gym in Rochester, New York and Operation Werewolf, of which Kenna was a member.
Kenna was at the gym’s 2019, 2020, and 2021 “convergences.”
Kenna was a member of Operation Werewolf, the feeder group for Wolves of Vinland. OPWW claims the group disbanded in 2021. In our experience monitoring members, it is apparent that many are still repping it publicly, and many OPWW formations have continued their activity unabated
Winchester-Kenna runs a self defense training business named Tyr Tactical Training.
One notable aspect of his services is the “BASIC WEAPONS TRAINING.” The poster says “Prepare for Ragnarok”, a mythological Norse apocalypse that many Fascists associate with a coming race war.

We have infiltrated and exposed the membership of White Lives Matter Oregon, who have been engaged in a statewide campaign of racist propaganda for the last several months.
In the past year, multiple members of WLM have been arrested and convicted in association with terrorist attacks on innocent people. We consider their organizing a genuine danger to the Oregon community.
In the wake of yesterday's atrocity, we want to take a moment to expose wannabe neo-Nazi terrorists Aryan Compartmented Elements (ACE), a group that has been making serious threats of mass shootings directed at LGBT people and schools.
Ace is primarily lead by Michael "Doc Grimson" Brown of Glenmoore, PA. He is the owner of Black Market Tactical and Black Market Strength and Conditioning.
Brown has a documented history of stalking and assault:
A White Nationalist MURDERER is teaching your kids!!!
Justin Laks is a convicted first degree murderer who openly associates with violent neo-Nazi organizations. He runs JT's Jiu Jitsu which trains children and teens.
Laks started this business in 2021, shortly after his release from prison for a murder he committed in 1995. Laks killed Pedro Sabando, an unarmed security guard, repeatedly smashing the back of his head with a glass bottle. heraldnet.com/news/killer-co…
JT’s logo broadcasts Justin's Fascist ties. It features wolves in a yin yang style with a sonnenrad in place of one of the dots. The sonnenrad is a Pagan symbol appropriated by the Nazi SS. It is one of the most common symbols used by modern neo-Nazis in place of the Swastika.
Kenna constantly advocates for race war. He uses rhetoric is reminiscent of that of Atomwaffen Division and similar accelerationist terror groups.
Luke is married to Raven Winchester-Kenna the owner of, “Freya’s Forest Crystal & Plant Luxury Boutique” a hippie New Age trinket shop located in Gloversville, New York. Some may be disarmed by her wook appearance, but she shares her husband’s Nazi ideology.
