Our latest for @LCRWnews:
Last weekend, white supremacists, neo-nazis and skinheads from various states came together for an MMA tournament in the San Diego area.
The event brought together multiple factions of the loosely organized (but interconnected) fascist fight club scene scene and marks the culmination of RAM founder Rob Rundo’s long-time efforts to bring organized, euro-nationalist style fight clubs to the U.S.
This tournament signals a worrisome new phase in the reemergence of the U.S. fascist fight club scene—one in which Rise Above Movement has continued to have an outsized impact.
In 2021, a new generation of RAM-inspired fascist fight clubs began popping up across the country.
Over the past couple of months, we noticed that one “active club” in particular appears to be more than just inspired by RAM.
At first, it appeared that SoCal Active Club was paying homage to the original fascist fight club in a way only the biggest fanboys could (or would)—through a series of photos that recreated some of RAM’s most recognizable propaganda.
As it turns out, this was part of a larger propaganda campaign leading up to the neo-nazi MMA tournament.
With the helping hands of two of Rundo’s right-hand men, SoCal Active Club appears to be going through a rebranding in which the group is being promoted as RAM 2.0
Both SoCal Active Club and Patriot Front have been credited with helping to organize the private, invite-only neo-nazi tournament.
And to be clear: When we say neo-nazi, we mean actual fucking nazis.
Nazis like this dude with a swastika tattoo on his pasty gut.
He wasn’t just personally invited to fight in the neo-nazi tournament, he’s also appeared in RAM redux propaganda.
Very few images of the event have been released, but of the attendees we have identified (so far), one was a participant of #UniteTheRight and one is a particularly terrifying proponent of terrorism (and rape).
We were able to ID a few more participants, all of whom are included in the article:
With Clockwork Crew co-founder Mohammad Wadaa recently released from military jail, we here at the club did what we do best — wrote entirely too many words about what an awful (and very weird dude) this neo-nazi is.
Last month we discovered that Mohammad Wadaa had been released from the brig — and that he didn’t skip a beat before ingratiating himself into the SoCal MMA circuit as “Mikhail Markovich”.
(We also discovered that he was booed — loudly — before, during and after his match)
The hostility toward Mohammad Wadaa / Mikhail Markovich may have been due to the fact that he’d kept his most overt nazi tattoo hidden, only to rip off the small black patch covering his swastika immediately before bounding into the ring looking like an absolute ghoul.
We bring you the story of Primal Aryan Warlord Gang, a short-lived accelerationist cell that was in the process of starting its own compound when the group collapsed after a series of arrests.

This article is as long as it is overdue.
It's the culmination of over a year's worth of research and documentation collected by @FashFreeNW, @SCResearchClub, @SunlightAFA, @WhiteRoseSocAU and other independent researchers.
Primal Aryan Warlord Gang (PAWG) was run by two petty criminals – one a braggadocious burglar and the other a 3-D printing gunsmith – and had direct connections to other militant accelerationists online and in-real-life.
It was our pleasure to share information about Clockwork Crew with @awinston for his latest article.
We'd known for a long time that the group had active duty military members and veterans within their ranks – and we knew exactly who they were. https://t.co/SW4KnWDBxt
We’ve spent over a year and a half closely tracking Clockwork Crew and its members: From the group’s origins as the west coast “commandery” for a neo-Nazi cult (Church of Aryanity) to its rebranding as a racist skinhead crew.
FUN FACT: One of the white supremacists Fedposting on Telegram about attacking power structures on behalf of Michael “Doc Grimson” Brown and Luke “Leo Solaris” Kenna was their co-co-conspirator Brian “Manic” Tierney.
The other was a good friend of Tierney, who went by “SCYZO”.
ICYMI: Luke Kenna (aka: Leo Solaris OMTO), one of the innermost members of the neo-Nazi cult Church of Aryanity, was arrested 10 days ago and is currently in custody on weapons-related charges.
You can read our exposé on CoA for @LCRWnews here:
Within days of publishing our article, @CVAgainstFash dropped the hammer when they exposed Aryan Compartmented Elements, a Nazi group that conducts recon ops and takes credit for acts of terrorism.
Luke Kenna and Ian Elliott are close associates of ACE and official members of CoA
The Church of Aryanity’s leader, Aaron Chapman (aka: Father Orion), has been pretty smug about the fact that his cult glorifies violence, weaponizes religion, encourages martyrdom and whose members’ have known, close ties to terrorist organizations— until now.
Screenshots from the private Telegram chat for White Lives Matter CA have been leaking. Among the leaks was a list of members—including chat admins.
All but one of the private chat admins from SoCal have been ID’d.
Today, we’re identifying the last: “k” - AKA: @ wirelessnotwork
White Lives Matter California private chat admin, who goes by “k”, is Kayla Bressem of Orange County, CA.
She also goes by Kayla Brackson and Kay Brackson (personally and professionally).
Kayla has previously lived in Reno, NV and Kansas.
In addition to being an admin for WLM CA’s private chat, Kayla is the owner of BibleIRL Chat on Telegram.
It was through her posts in BibleIRL that we were able to match up details found within her various online accounts: Her profession, hobbies, location and even her name.
