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.

We still plan to write our own piece, but today we’ll give you the scoop on at least one member of Clockwork Crew:
Mohammad Wadaa.

Mohammad Wadaa, who uses the alias “Michael” IRL, goes by “Zvoninir Boban ACAB” on Telegram.
Before that, he went by “Hrvati Warrior” and “Zeta Phoenicis”, the latter of which was his super secret code name given to him by Church of Aryanity leader Aaron Chapman. https://t.co/TYJt2QShw5

But before learning his real name, we here at the research club always just referred to Mohammad Wadaa as #RipoffRundo.
Mohammad Wadaa is a co-founder of Clockwork Crew, a former OMTO knight for the Church of Aryanity and a wannabe skinhead.
To be honest, he’s also a total weirdo.

As we said earlier, we knew that Mohammad Wadaa was an active duty Marine at Camp Pendleton.

…Mohammad Wadaa also had an incessant need to “post fizeek” from his barracks room to Telegram channels and chats full of other nazi dudebros (and apparently in unsolicited DM's with other neo-Nazis as well).
Mohammad Wadaa regularly posted selfies like this one from his barracks, which he obviously thought made him look good despite the fact that it actually looks like he peed his pants.
(This pic is tame compared to others he's posted publicly. Trust us, we’re sparing you here.)

Before he was constantly fizeek posting, Mohammad Wadaa spent a lot of his earlier time on Telegram in chats run by neo-Nazi Balkan bros.
It was by going way back in one of these chats that we finally found a full-face pic of him that he'd posted in 2021.

In these chats (and a few others), Mohammad Wadaa flip-flopped between saying he was either Bosniak (muslim) or Bosnian-Croat (non-muslim).
But he’s consistently claimed that his great uncle fought in the Handschar Division, the Croatian division of the Waffen-SS during WWII.

He also says that he’s half-Italian — just like Rob Rundo (whom Mohammad Wadaa appears to simultaneously despise and be desperate to emulate).
For the record: All evidence shows that Mohammad Wadaa is actually of Egyptian/Iranian descent, but he’s seemingly so committed to his backstory that he not only got a tattoo of the Handschar Division insignia, he also sometimes uses fake accent.

Mohammad Wadaa also regularly engages in vile serbophobia, makes violent comments, and has even gone so far as to make sexually violent comments about Serbian/Serbian Jewish women (while showing off his prized Handschar fez and Ustaše shirt, of course).

In May 2022, Mohammad Wadaa - dressed in a full SS costume - joined the Goyim Defense League for one of the group's hate parades.
This was the second one he’d participated in.
We’re only posting this to show what this (now former) active duty Marine was doing in his spare time. https://t.co/rbPvEw9KQh

In late 2022, Mohammad Wadaa once again harassed people alongside GDL's Robert Wilson, but this time he did so in his fake accent claiming, “I’m an immigrant myself from Croatia”.
He later showed up on Telegram to defend himself - in the third person.
How embarrassing.

That’s it for now.
Maybe if we have time later, we can tell everyone about the time Mohammad Wadaa channeled his inner mobster and threatened to kill Rose City Nationalist leader Casey Knuteson while trying to impress NSC-131’s Leo Cullinan.
