  • On Blast: Charles Roome McLaughlin of SF Running Neo-Nazi Record Label from Tenderloin Apartment

    On Blast: Charles Roome McLaughlin of SF Running Neo-Nazi Record Label from Tenderloin Apartment

    Charles Roome McLauglin (DOB: 07/18/85) of San Francisco has been identified as the owner of Brotherhood of Light Recordings, an active Southern Poverty Law Center Designated Hate Group categorized as a Hate Music Label operating since 2009. Brotherhood of Light Recordings primarily puts out National Socialist Black Metal (NSBM), a genre/scene that attempts to recruit from the Black Metal subculture to explicit neo-nazi ideology and the white power movement.

    Charles Roome McLaughlin listed as “C.R.G.” photographs on the back of his band’s nazi tapes
    Examples of clear-cut nazi propaganda put out on BHoL Recordings

    McLaughlin lives above the Hartland Hotel in the Tenderloin District, and is likely responsible for littering his neighborhood with poorly drawn swastikas. He is a member of several NSBM, “Power Electronics Against Communism” (PEAC), and fascist Neofolk projects. He has released NSBM and RAC (Rock Against Communism) projects from the US, Argentina, Austria, Australia, Bosnia/Herzegovina, South Korea, Russia, Finland, France, and Spain on BHoL Recordings. McLaughlin is a member (often the sole member) of bands; Sunchariot, Cosmic Breath 88, Panzerjager, Sturmgraf, Surt, and Svetovid. As Sunchariot, he released the projects debut album on Winter Solace Productions — itself a SPLC recognized hate group. Winter Solace Productions operates out of Marshfield, WI and is ran by Douglas E. Mcquerter a neo-nazi friend of McLaughlins who was previously exposed via the Midgard leak. Both McLaughlin and Mcquerter tie their celebration of NSBM to the broader MAGA movement. As Vinland Special Services (Vinland SS), McQuerter has released music on BHoL and vice versa with McLaughlin’s bands.

    We are releasing this information to alert community members in the Tenderloin and Little Saigon neighborhoods to Charles McLaughlin’s formation of an active hate group and nazi propaganda outfit operating in hiding since 2009. McLaughlin’s LinkedIn last lists his job in Delivery and Sales at Sherwin-Williams Paint.

  • Meet Patriot Front Participant and Neo-Nazi David Isaac Hamilton (AKA “Hunt’wa N’wah”)

    Meet Patriot Front Participant and Neo-Nazi David Isaac Hamilton (AKA “Hunt’wa N’wah”)

    Last year, our group received anonymous email tips about a neo-Nazi who we had only known by his online alias, “Hunt’wa N’wah.” (Initially, he used “Huntwa N’wah” without the first apostrophe.) One email we received provided an actual name for “Hunt’wa,” which we worked to verify. “Hunt’wa” is David Isaac Hamilton (DOB 8/24/2005). Hamilton is affiliated with the neo-Nazi cult of “Aryanity” as well as Patriot Front, a racist and fascist organization that operates nationally. Hamilton now goes by “Hunter” online. Although he is from Georgia, he may how be spending time in Tennessee.

    David Isaac Hamilton AKA “Hunt’wa N’wah” and “Hunter”

    We first encountered “Hunt’wa” during our 2023 infiltration and investigation of Southern Sons Active Club (SSAC), a white nationalist group training for violence. “Hunt’wa” had applied to join SSAC’s Georgia chapter. In our article on SSAC, we noted “Hunt’wa’s” affiliations with two other racist formations: “Aryanity” as well as Patriot Front. 

    Our 2023 article’s discussion of “Hunt’wa” contained two errors, which we now wish to correct. First, we stated that “Hunt’wa” was nineteen, when he was seventeen at the time of publication. The reason for this error is simple: “Hunt’wa” told others he was nineteen when applying for SSAC, which accepts members aged eighteen and over. Second, we speculated that “‘Huntwa’ seemingly lives nearer to Savannah than to Atlanta.” This was due to the location of the other SSAC members who arranged to meet with “Hunt’wa” for face-to-face vetting. In fact, David Hamilton/“Hunt’wa” was living in Augusta, Georgia at the time.

    “Hunt’wa” lies about his age to the vetting channel for the Georgia chapter of Southern Sons Active Club, 2023.

    When we received tips about “Hunt’wa,” we proceeded cautiously, matching information disclosed by “Hunt’wa” (e.g., his mother’s profession) with facts about Hamilton. We also compared images of “Hunt’wa” with photos of Hamilton. This was difficult at first, as our set of “Hunt’wa” images all had the faces blurred or otherwise obscured. In November, however, “Hunt’wa” posted an image on the Telegram messaging app showing his whole face. He also appeared in a video of a white supremacist boxing/combat sports event with his chest tattoo visible and his face unobscured. These decisions by “Hunt’wa”/Hamilton suggest that he either wanted to be publicly identified as a Nazi in some display of bravado, or at least that he was unconcerned about this possibility. We cannot even rule out Hamilton himself feeding information to our organization, in a misguided bid for notoriety. Even if that scenario were true, however, we would feel obligated to warn the public about an active neo-Nazi. 

    Still from 2023 “Church of Aryanity” video showing a swastika tattooed on Hamilton’s chest.

    When we wrote about “Hunt’wa” in 2023, we noted that he was involved with the Church of Aryanity, a neo-Nazi cult which reveres Hitler and attracts volatile individuals. As we discussed in our 2023 article on SSAC, “Hunt’wa” traveled to an Aryanity gathering earlier that year, where Aryanity leader Aaron Barret Chapman tattooed a swastika on “Hunt’wa”/Hamilton’s chest. Hamilton was seventeen at the time, which means that professional tattooer Chapman broke Kentucky regulations about underage clients, unless one of Hamilton’s parents consented for their son to receive the tattoo and accompanied him. David Hamilton has subsequently added to his chest tattoo, giving it a more “tribal” appearance, although it is still clearly a swastika. At the time of writing, Hamilton (as “Hunter”) remains a member of the Church of Aryanity group on the Telegram messaging app.

    David Hamilton at Hall Landing Campground, Tallahassee, Florida, 2024.

    Hamilton has also remained active in Patriot Front (PF). In early November 2024, “Hunt’wa” shared the photo on Telegram that revealed his face. The image shows “Hunt’wa”/Hamilton by Lake Talquin at Hall Landing Campground in Tallahassee, Florida. Just over two months earlier, on August 31, 2024, dozens of PF members rallied in Tallahassee. PF organizer Ian Elliott had booked two sites at Hall Landing Campground for August 30th and 31st, which the organization used for camping and as a staging area. It is extremely likely that the photo of David Hamilton is from that weekend.

    Graham Whitson knocks out David Hamilton in bare knuckle fight, Tellico Plains, Tennessee, early November 2024.

    On the first weekend of November, PF organizer Ian Elliott hosted a “Winter Nights” gathering at his compound in eastern Tennessee featuring grappling and bareknuckle boxing fights. Photos and video footage from the event show longtime Patriot Front member Graham Whitson quickly knocking out David Hamilton in a bareknuckle fight. According to an interview that Ian Elliott later gave to the white nationalist “White Rabbit Radio” show, “Hunt’wa”/Hamilton had to go to the emergency room to get his busted lip stitched up. The fight was badly mismatched—Graham Whitson is larger and approximately a decade and a half older than Hamilton—but this imbalance appears to have been the point. The match was an opportunity for Hamilton to prove his courage and “heart” to other white supremacists, with Hamilton even boasting about his injury on Aryanity’s Telegram channel.

    Photo of David Hamilton in Tennessee, mid- to late-2024.

    Apart from his presence at the “Winter Nights” gathering, David Hamilton appears to be spending time in Tennessee and may be based there. A photo we received of Hamilton last year shows a Madisonville, Tennessee business in the background. That store is approximately fifteen minutes by car from Ian Elliott’s compound in Tellico Plains, Tennessee.

    Photo posted by David Hamilton to his Telegram account, February 2025.

    Hamilton has now changed the name on his Telegram account from “Hunt’wa N’wah” to “Hunter.” As we mentioned earlier, his account remains in the group chat for the “Church of Aryanity” (Ian Elliott of Patriot Front is also involved in this Nazi grouping.) On Telegram, “Hunter” signals his continuing involvement with Patriot Front—in February this year, he posted an image to his profile showing a masked individual with a Patriot Front patch on his cap. 

    Since the first time we wrote about “Hunt’wa” in 2023, he has remained involved with both Aryanity and Patriot Front, with his involvement in Patriot Front deepening. We are exposing Hamilton because he is a committed neo-Nazi and may pose a threat to those around him. Although Hamilton was living in Augusta, Georgia in 2023, he may now be spending time in Tennessee—images place him at and near the Tellico Plains, Tennessee racist compound. If you have further information about Hamilton’s location and current activities, please get in touch.

  • Proud Boy B-Team Regroups in Clackamas for Lackluster Flag Wave

    Proud Boy B-Team Regroups in Clackamas for Lackluster Flag Wave

    Proud Boys and their fans gather in Clackamas

    On February 16th, 2025, members of the violent far-right street gang the Proud Boys held a “flag wave” event with supporters. After originally planning on mobilizing in Portland, they instead relocated to the Sunnyside Road highway overpass in Clackamas, OR. They hung banners on the overpass featuring the Proud Boys logo and the slogans “ICE is nice”, “Die DEI Die”, and “Fuck Antifa”.

    Counterprotesters made clear that Proud Boys and their allies are not welcome in our communities. Amidst increasingly fascist state action, direct opposition to far-right organizing is more important than ever. We invite folks to familiarize themselves with the following local figures and take action to ensure white supremacists and far-right agitators are always deterred from showing up on our blocks. Here is a quick guide to the flag wave attendees and their violent organizing backgrounds.

    This event features some new faces and a refresher about some familiar ones.

    New Identifications

    To those who choose to attend events with Proud Boys, it’s not too late to step away from far-right organizing before you become more than just a footnote in this article.

    We Keep Us Safe

    Portlanders opposed to hateful ideologies have shown up and successfully driven far-right bigots out of our neighborhoods. The same can be done in our suburbs when we show up to defend our communities in strong numbers. Together we can push fascist organizing back to the fringe and prevent the harm they do when allowed to grow. We hope this information helps you and your networks continue to combat these toxic ideologies throughout the Pacific Northwest and beyond. We hope you feel emboldened to take action in whatever ways you can!

    Much appreciation to everyone who has reported on far-right events; without various community photos, first hand accounts, and other information, this article would not have been possible.

    As always, please send relevant tips on fascist activity in your community to: [email protected]

  • Stuart DiNenno and “Kinist” White Nationalism

    Stuart DiNenno and “Kinist” White Nationalism

    On Saturday, August 17, 2024, three white nationalists held a demonstration in Dawsonville, Georgia. The trio displayed signs promoting racial “loyalty” and alleging that white people are being “replaced.” The theme of their demonstration—“the great replacement”—is a racist conspiracy theory which has inspired mass shootings. An onlooker photographed the three demonstrators, and the images were posted to Reddit later that day.

    A Reddit commenter correctly identified one of the racist demonstrators as Stuart Nicholas DiNenno (born 1959) of Chamblee, Georgia. Through his posts on Reddit and elsewhere, DiNenno confirmed that he was involved in the demonstration. He was clearly the public face of this event. The signs displayed by the white nationalists featured a URL for DiNenno’s website, which advocates for a racist version of Christianity known as “Kinism.”

    Kinism, the racist form of Christianity advocated by DiNenno, emerged from neo-Confederate circles—in particular, members of the League of the South—during the early- to mid-2000s. (Work formulating Kinist principles began some years earlier.) Kinists believe that God divided humanity into different racial groups; that these groups should be preserved separately; and that Christians have moral duties to their racial “kin.” Kinists therefore advocate for segregation and prohibit racial intermarriage. They are deeply opposed to egalitarianism and favor replacing democracy with theocracy. While Kinism as a term has been around for just a quarter century, adherents portray their beliefs as a return to traditional Christianity.

    It is important to differentiate Kinism from another racist form of Christianity: Christian Identity. Christian Identity claims that whites are God’s true chosen people, and that Jewish people are evil imposters. In the case of “dual seedline” Christian Identity, adherents believe that Jewish people are literally descended from the serpent in the Garden of Eden. Such Christian Identity adherents also believe that people of color are subhuman. Kinists, on the other hand, claim that Christian salvation is available to those of any race. However, Kinists promote segregation and characterize white people as superior.

    Both Kinists and Christian Identity adherents are extremely antisemitic, but there is a difference between how these two express and justify this antisemitism. Christian Identity proclaims that white people are descendants of the Biblical Israelites, and thus God’s true chosen people. Christian Identity offers theories about Jewish people and their bloodlines to portray this group as imposters or even Satanic in origin. DiNenno on his Kinist website argues that present-day Jewish people are not descended from the Israelites of the Bible. However, he does not speculate about the supposed actual lineage of Jewish people. Rather, DiNenno draws on much longer legacies of antisemitism within Christianity, asserting that “Being a Christ hater […] is the principal component of Jewish identity.”

    DiNenno takes a positive view of Hitler and Nazi Germany. On his website, DiNenno reprinted an interview with Mildred Gillars, better known as “Axis Sally,” an American who made pro-Nazi broadcasts from Germany during World War II, and who was convicted of treason after the war. Another section on DiNenno’s site provides a lengthy quote from a 1934 speech by Hitler, reprinted under the heading “Hitler’s Surprisingly Biblical View of the Role of Women.” In a rant by DiNenno on the site, he claims that someone is a “victim of Jewish indoctrination” if the person “believe[s] the Jewish ‘Holocaust’ stories” or “the mainstream narrative of World War II.” DiNenno reprinted a lengthy article by Mark Weber, a major figure in Holocaust-denial circles, to his website.

    Calling DiNenno homophobic would be an understatement. On his website, DiNenno portrays “sodomite relationships” as an “evil that is deserving of the death penalty,” and suggests that even approving of such relationships is worthy of punishment. In 2018, DiNenno made headlines after the landscaping company he operates, Botanica Atlanta Landscape and Design, refused to work for a gay couple. DiNenno claimed on Facebook: “I average about one or two calls per year [with my business] from sodomites or lesbians. I always turn them down.”

    DiNenno was part of a group that harassed the “Pride Walk” in Burlington, North Carolina, in June of 2023 and 2024. The anti-LGBTQ+ protests were partially organized by Michael Spangler of North Carolina, who this year published a lengthy series endorsing “Christian Race Realism” and who broadly considers himself a Kinist. Earlier in the year (before the start of the “Race Realism” series) the Orthodox Presbyterian Church divested Spangler from its ministry.

    Those targeting the Pride Walks aimed to make the gatherings as unpleasant as possible for participants, with Stuart DiNenno gloating this year:
    We dogged them everywhere they went and they seemed to be disturbed by our presence. I won’t be surprised if next year’s event is canceled. Please pray for that to happen.
    DiNenno also appears to have shown up against Alamance Pride in October 2023, also held in Burlington.

    While DiNenno was only able to get two others to join him for his August white nationalist demonstration in Georgia, he is well-networked in Kinist circles and could potentially draw others to engage in public racist agitation. DiNenno’s intense antisemitism and the pleasure he takes from homophobic harassment are both concerning. For these reasons, we believe it is necessary to warn the public about DiNenno.

    What you can do:

    1)        Warn others about DiNenno’s landscaping business, Botanica Atlanta Landscape and Design. Many potential customers would not wish to financially support a white nationalist who takes a fond view of Hitler and engages in homophobic harassment. Bringing DiNenno into contact with people of color, Jewish people, or LGBTQ+ individuals risks creating an unpleasant situation or worse.

    2)        Please get in contact if you can identify DiNenno’s two associates from the Dawsonville demonstration or have potentially relevant information. We would also like to hear from anyone who has further info about DiNenno.

    3)        Finally, share this article with friends in north Metro Atlanta who may encounter DiNenno. Please also share this article to contacts near Dawsonville in north Georgia, in case DiNenno and his associates attempt further agitation there.

  • William “Bill” Fisher: Arizona White Supremacist and Grassroots Republican Activist

    William C. Fisher of Phoenix, Arizona is a longtime white supremacist who claims that “Hitler was right.” Under his online persona of “Preston Brooks,” Fisher references “the Day of the Rope,” a white supremacist fantasy of mass murder, and repeatedly calls for lynching. Fisher is also a grassroots Republican Party activist who serves as a committeeman with the Legislative District 20 Republican Party (LD20 GOP) in Arizona. Fisher’s wife, Kimberly K. Fisher, is also an LD20 GOP committee member. Kim Fisher is currently serving her second term on the Deer Valley Unified School District’s governing board, which is responsible for over thirty thousand students. As we discuss, Kim Fisher must be aware of her husband’s white supremacist agitation. She calls her husband “the smartest man I know” and consults with him on political issues.

    Summary

    Paul Michael Gancarz is a fascist and Patriot Front’s Network Director for the region covering Virginia, Washington DC, Maryland, and Delaware. He currently lives in Virginia Beach, Virginia, but is originally from New York City where he has strong ties to Greenpoint, Brooklyn, and Forest Hills, Queens. As a member of Patriot Front, Gancarz is very active in the group’s propaganda campaigns in both New York and Virginia where he is responsible for much of the Patriot Front stickers, posters, and stencils reported in these areas. In his role as a Patriot Front Network Director, Paul would have been directly involved or consulted on high-profile vandalism in his network, such as the defacement of the Arthur Ashe mural in Richmond, Virginia. As the host for Patriot Front marches in Washington DC on January 29th, 2021 and more recently on December 4th, 2021, he would have had a large role in the organizing and staging of these fascist spectacles (and any U-haul mishaps that may have occurred). 

    Paul Gancarz’s involvement in Far Right politics also goes well beyond Patriot Front. On August 12, 2017 he attended the deadly white nationalist Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia as a Proud Boy and has maintained strong connections to the group over the years. In December 2019, Paul and Proud Boy member Simon Ming Yui Lee (AKA Simon “Lee Greenwood”) scrawled swastikas outside of a Greenpoint, Brooklyn restaurant. Gancarz also helps distribute a variety of fascist and far right propaganda, notably those for white nationalist Robert Rundo’s groups, Rise Above Movement (RAM) and Will2Rise (W2R). His work as an engineer provides him the opportunity to travel around the United States, network with different fascists, and spread fascist/white nationalist propaganda and ideas. He currently works for the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel Expansion Project in the Virginia Beach/Norfolk, Virginia area.
