Recently, @UR_Ninja identified many members of the neo-fascist group Patriot Front. One member was overlooked, but we have more info on him! Say hello to 28 y/o Zachary Degelau of Sioux Falls, South Dakota AKA "White Power Wilson", an @Airbnb host involved also in WLM and NSO
1/
In early December 2021, Patriot Front (PF) held a flashmob in Washington, DC. Antifascists, however, found out where PF members parked all their vehicles and took the liberty of redecorating them. Bamboozled fash then whined to police and filed police reports on the incident
2/
@UR_Ninja obtained those police reports, identifying a number of Patriot Front members, including Zach Degalau, who goes by "Mark SD" in PF chats. Poor Zach had his nazi sticker adorned truck busted! Still, among many other IDs, Zach was looked over.

We thought that was unfair to Zach! Luckily we had some strong leads about "Mark SD" and his extended neo-Nazi activism! We decided we should give Zach his earned time in the sunlight! Turns out Zach isn't only a member of PF, but leads several other neo-fascist networks
4/
Zach Degalau, most notably, is at the center of a campaign to distribute propaganda for an anti-semitic, pro-Nazi "documentary" that argues the Nazis were victims of Jewish aggression. He even attached his name to a crowdfunding campaign to distribute the documentary.
5/
On Telegram, he has built a network of other neo-Nazis to help promote the neo-Nazi documentary, and frequently has encouraged others to put up flyers and stickers promoting it. He even sells burned Blu-Ray discs. The dedicated Telegram Zach runs has almost 2000 followers.
6/
Just this past weekend, Zach Degelau organized a flyering campaign across multiples states for White Lives Matter, a neo-Nazi network, to distribute thousands of neo-Nazi flyers and stickers
7/
It might be a good idea to ask @55printing why they are mass producing neo-Nazi propaganda to be used to intimidate communities?
8/
Zach also makes clear his involvement with Patriot Front. Coincidentally, "Mark SD" and Wilson share traits, like having moved between, South Dakota, Arkansas and Colorado in a camper, and distributing large amounts of propaganda material for a neo-Nazi documentary. Hmmm
9/
And yet another connection is the white supremacist banners/propaganda "Mark SD" and "Wilson" both talk about making...
10/
Zach, aside from the December rally in Washington DC he trekked out to, admits he has committed a number of acts of vandalism on behalf of PF, including neo-fascist graffiti. Zach also shared a video of him distributing antisemitic propaganda in Sioux Falls that made news.
11/
In addition to his involvement with PF and his neo-Nazi documentary project, Zach is also involved with the neo-Nazi organizing network White Lives Matter and is likely a main administrator of White Lives Matter South Dakota.
12/
Zach also has connections with the neo-Nazi terror group National Socialist Order (NSO), which is the successor organization to the notorious Atomwaffen Division. Zach indicated that he was writing at least one article for the NSO/AWD webpublication American Futurist
13/
Did we mention Zach also seems to be an @Airbnb host? Seems like a huge safety concern that a neo-Nazi obsessed with violent anti-semitism and racism is hosting people in his home... Please reach out if you can to @AirbnbHelp and make them aware of this concern!!
14/
It is unclear where else Zach is working, but he seems to have a background in computer engineering. While currently being in the Sioux Falls area, Zach also travels frequently in his camper and has connections to the Denver, CO area and Arkansas
15/
To conclude, Zach W. Degelau of Sioux Falls, North Dakota isn't just a member of Patriot Front, as @UR_Ninja pointed out, he is a major organizer in a wide swath of neo-Nazi networks and has actively organized attempts to intimidate communities. Welcome to the sunshine Zach
Special thanks to all who contributed to this and helped out, so much love and we are constantly grateful for those who collaborate in our work :-) Here's a final screenshot of Zach acting like a fucking dork and rambling about his seed

Howdy! We want to drop by this Pride and introduce you to neo-Nazi and NSC-131 member Zachary Michael Lee of Taunton, Massachusetts. Zach is the living embodiment of a meathead and very involved in neo-Nazism, so it is our pleasure to introduce him to the sunlight!
1/ ImageImageImageImage
Zach has been on our radar for a longggg time, way back to when he used to go by @/MFKNDITO on Telegram (which we'll get to in a bit). Zach was active in many neo-Nazi fitness/lifting chats, and was an admin for the notorious "Fascist Fitness" chat
theguardian.com/politics/2022/…
2/ ImageImage
Currently, Zach goes by "Pine", and his profile and postings make it abundantly clear he is a member of NSC, as well as the fact that he is a disgusting human being.

Jonathan K. Baldwin of Indianapolis, Indiana was one of the neo-Nazis with the GDL in Palm Beach, Florida, tossing anti-semitic fliers out of a truck. Jonathan has a long history with the GDL and frequently spreads anti-semitic and neo-Nazi fliers around Indiana.
1/
Jonathan also expressed interest in joining a local neo-Nazi Active Club, Hoosier Nationalists/Indiana Active Club. It is unclear if Jonathan ever organized with them, but it shows his continued willingness to attack and intimidate communities
2/
Jonathan also isn't too bright. Aside from getting named by police for throwing anti-semitic garbage out of a truck, Jonathan also has a number of personal accounts connected to usernames he uses for neo-Nazi organizing on Telegram.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: We have recently learned that "Aron Schweitzer's" legal name is Aron Garth Sides. While going by Schweitzer, presumably a family name, in many settings, Aron's legal name is confirmed to be Aron Sides. We apologize for our less than accurate information earlier!

Image
Image
Aron also notably graduated from McCallum High School in Austin in 2011, which is the same high school he was putting up anti-semitic fliers near when he peppersprayed a teenager back in November.
Recently, Aron was spotted by locals lurking outside a local bar to protest a drag event . However, Aron didn't get the memo that the event was cancelled, but still awkwardly hung around. He was recognized by wearing the same outfit he wore to flyer in November

Hello everyone! Some of you may remember an incident in November where a man putting up neo-Nazi flyers in Austin, Tx allegedly peppersprayed a teenager. Today we'd like to introduce that man as GDL member Aron G. Schweitzer (sometimes spelled "Aron") of Liberty Hill, Texas.

As documented by @DownTheBastards Aaron was seen putting up neo-Nazi posters around McCallum High School in Austin, and then promptly posted about it in the chat of the genocidally anti-Semitic neo-Nazi group Goyim Defense League (GDL)
2/
From his bragging about the event in a public chat, we discovered Aaron's Telegram. He also details in several voice messages how two teenagers were tearing down his neo-Nazi posters, and he subsequently peppersprayed one of them. ("James" is Aaron's old Telegram profile)

Interesting news this morning. Allegedly, NSC-131 member Jeremiah "Jay" Shivers of Fairhaven, Massachusetts died yesterday. We also learned that Jay was a very involved member of the far right group Veterans on Patrol (VOP).

Jay's death was announced on a VOP Telegram channel, and it appears he became involved with VOP while still living in Prescott, Arizona. However, in a video shared by VOP, it appears Jay was participating in VOP actions as recent as June 2022.

Let's give a big warm welcome to violent neo-Nazi, security guard, and NSC-131 member Austin J. Conti of W. Warwick, Rhode Island. We've known Austin's identity for awhile, but lacked final confirmation, so he was kind enough to get himself arrested to confirm for us!
Alongside Stephen Farrea of Portsmouth, Rhode Island, Austin was arrested recently for putting up neo-Nazi posters for the group Nationalist Social Club 131 in East Providence, Rhode Island. But we have many more details on Austin

Austin who, joined NSC in late 2021, has not only participated in various neo-Nazi demonstrations intended to intimidate New England communities, but has continuously pumped out violently racist and anti-Semitic content under the pseudonyms "Steel Pete" and "Pete SS"
