Hot Off the Blog 🗞

Last weekend was a busy one for SoCal Active Club and Clockwork Crew, with wannabe mixed martial artists from both neo-nazi groups participating in separate MMA tournaments.

[Link in bio and at the end of the thread] Image On August 24, SoCal Active Club sponsored their third annual fascist fight night in the Inland Empire.

Down in the Imperial Valley, Clockwork Crew’s co-founder got his clock cleaned (again) in his third bout on the amateur MMA circuit. Image

Second stop on the #NameTheBozoTour is Ian Henry Desantis, a 35-year-old recent Nashville, TN transplant from Santa Barbara, CA.

We identified Desantis back in January 2023, though his information wasn’t made public at the time because, honestly, we just forgot about him.
Image Ian Desantis was easily identified seeing as his lack of concern over maintaining basic opsec was matched by his enthusiasm for participating in GDL events. Image

Last weekend we asked if we should expose an Iowa-based member of Clockwork Crew who participated in the Santa Barbara banner flop.

Today we're exposing Nicholas Bauer, a former Iowa resident who's back in his hometown of San Diego, CA.

[Link in bio and at end of thread]
Image Nicholas Bauer is the founder of Crew 319, a short-lived neo-nazi group that was responsible for a slew of racist flyers, antisemitic banner drops and attention seeking publicity stunts throughout Eastern and Central Iowa in 2022.

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.

[Link in bio and at the end of the thread]
Image 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)

New from @SCResearchClub and @SunlightAFA

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.

[Link in bio and at the end of the thread] Image 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.

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

Image 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”.
Image Note the Telegram usernames in the images posted above: “Insane Iguana” and “SCYZO”.

Brian Tierney is “Insane Iguana” (SaintManic).

Before that, he was “Manic”.

Over the last few days, a few more participants and attendees of the neo-Nazi MMA fight have been spotted.
Most are pretty well-known already, but one (previously) unknown fighter is just so gosh darn proud of the tacky rune medal he won that we thought everyone should know!
Image We’d like to bring into the spotlight Patrick Kelly Mushaney of Norco California: neo-Nazi fight club champ, Admin of White Lives Matter CA Telegram and SoCal Active Club’s hate drone pilot.

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.
