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.
One of those men is Brian Tierney.
While he first came to the public’s attention a year ago after he was arrested and charged for his role planning in a bank heist, there's more to Tierney than just being a spectacularly failed bank robber.

Brian Tierney is also a twice-caught serial burglar, a self-professed terrorist and all-around gross dude whose overinflated ego and compulsion to brag about his crimes, his supposed superior intellect and his self-perceived handsomeness cannot be understated.
The other man is Skyler Philippi, a 23-year old drifter and virtual ghost who just could not stop doxxing himself.
We’ve had Philippi ID’d for over a year, but as of at least July 2023 he still thought he was slick and smugly asserted, “ I still have yet to be found by antifa”.

Skyler Philippi frequently changes usernames and handles or deletes his Telegram accounts entirely.
Despite this, it was possible to definitively connect him to multiple accounts and aliases he’s used on the platform and connect him to posts he'd made from his deleted accounts.

Skyler Philippi is a self-described “tribalist, accelerationist and pagan”.
He’s also a machinist by trade, and he’s put a lot of effort into honing his skills – by manufacturing 3-D printed firearms and other DIY-weaponry.

Both men regularly committed petty crimes like breaking into box trucks, scrap yards and high rises, and taught others how to do the same.
Brian Tierney even offered his “kit-post” to Brandon Russell after Russell solicited a skilled thief to write “an anonymous article guide”.

Before coming together as “PAWG operators” where they followed the same MO as Aryan Compartmented Elements, the two men ran their own small cell groups and associated Telegram channels.
Brian Tierney ran BerserkerKvlt and Skyler Philippi ran Anti-System Aktion.

As “PAWG operators”, Brian Tierney and Skyler Philippi ran late-night thieving and sabotage excursions, which they posted about on their group’s Telegram channel.
It was on that channel that the two also made explicit and direct threats to attack the power grid in December 2022.

Despite the fact that law enforcement seemingly hadn’t connected the two to the threats they’d made about attacking the power grid, researchers immediately recognized the posts and knew exactly who had made them:
Brian “Manic” Tierney and Skyler “SCYZ0” Philippi.

How serious Brian Tierney and Skyler Philippi were about attacking power stations on behalf of Tierney’s bungled bank robbery co-conspirators (whom they’ve since turned on) is anyone’s guess, but it would hardly be the first big brained idea hatched between the two of them.
You can read all about Brian Tierney and Skyler Philippi’s big plans and their spectacular failure of a compound in the article below.
Or you can skim it.
Like we said, it’s long.
Ridiculously so.

UPDATE:
The day after we published this article, Skyler Philippi was spotted in real time frantically deleting his Telegram posts and changing his account information.
As of this morning, his account has been permanently deleted.

We’ve seen this move before, both in the aftermath of Brian Tierney’s arrest and again immediately after the article about the threats against the power grid he and Tierney had made was published.
But Skyler Philippi always comes back.
Until next time: “goodbye Professor”
