Category: Patriot Front

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.

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.

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. 

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.

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 30^th and 31^st, 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.

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.

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.

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.

A self-proclaimed “tribe” of racist heathens is building a compound on a 122-acre property in Tellico Plains, eastern Tennessee. This group overlaps with Patriot Front (PF), a fascist organization with members nationwide, and the “Church of Aryanity,” a racist cult that refers to Adolf Hitler as “the Great One.” The leader of the Tennessee “tribe” is Brian Culpepper, who spent a decade in the white supremacist National Socialist Movement (NSM) and was its PR Director for several years. 

In 2022, Patriot Front used the large property—mostly woodland but with cleared areas—to train its members for street demonstrations. Last year, PF members traveled to work construction on the property, including a large building intended as a combined martial arts dojo, heathen temple, and home for PF member, Ian Michael Elliott. As construction on the land progresses, the property will host increasingly large racist gatherings. At least equally dangerous, the “tribal land” will bring together far-right martial artists, aspiring street brawlers from fascist “Active Clubs,” and some of the most violent fringes of the neo-Nazi scene. It already provides a home for committed PF members. By documenting this compound and revealing its location, we hope to warn eastern Tennessee residents about the white supremacist threat in their midst.

The Property and How We Located It

The 122-acre property is located by Shadden Road in Tellico Plains, Monroe County. According to county records, the land was purchased in 2021 at a value of $287,000. These same records list Liudmila Culpepper, Brian Culpepper’s wife, as the owner.

In our December 2021 article exposing Ian Michael Elliott as a neo-Nazi and a member of Patriot Front, we noted that Elliot had mentioned a homestead project in Tennessee. Elliott also mentioned that he and another PF member had traveled to the “Aryan Tribal Land” to help with building. In 2022, Patriot Front’s channel on the Telegram messaging app shared images of a training event in Tennessee. Months later in February 2023, PF released a propaganda video of the Tennessee gathering. From the video, it was obvious that the gathering took place at an Odinist or heathen property. For example, the video concluded with footage from a nighttime ceremony, where an Odinist drinking horn lay on a ritual table. Despite his face being blurred, Ian Elliott was obviously one of the speakers at this ceremony.

In August last year, PF posted pictures on Telegram of a “community building project in Tennessee,” showing PF members doing construction work, with woods in the background. The following month, PF posted about another gathering: “activists assembled over Labor Day weekend to participate in an array of community building projects and skill teaching workshops.” While this time PF did not mention the state where the event took place, one of the images matched the building shown in the August photographs from Tennessee. We guessed that the “community building project” was on the same land as PF’s 2022 “training assembly,” which we were later able to confirm. Because Ian Elliott spoke at the 2022 PF “training assembly,” and due to his earlier references to a Tennessee homestead and “Aryan Tribal Land,” we decided to take another look at Elliott.

We learned that in his posts to various channels on Telegram, Ian Elliott commented extensively about the land. Elliott has changed his alias on Telegram several times since we first exposed him, but he currently goes by “Brother V.” Posting to one far-right channel in May, Elliott wrote that he was “living out here [the Tennessee compound] full time now” and was “getting more of my crew on the Land”. By his “crew,” Elliott meant Patriot Front. In a different channel focused on self-sufficiency, Elliott claimed that five families comprise the “big team” behind the land project. In a later comment on the far-right channel, he specified that “the owning families in full residence [on the land] must be Odinic.” Elliott refers to the racist Odinists living on the land as his “tribe.” Elliott’s Telegram posts revealed that he was now living near Etowah, Tennessee. In a post about the 2023 Labor Day weekend gathering on the land, Elliott bragged that “over a hundred men” attended, which was likely an overcount. Elliott included an aerial photo of the property with this Telegram post.

Another post by Elliott provided the final bit of information leading us to the “tribal land.” Elliott shared a picture of a man in his sixties, describing him as “my tribe’s leader [… a] lifelong craftsman and activist.” This individual also appeared in other photos from the property. We were able to identify this figure as Brian David Culpepper. Culpepper was active for a decade in the National Socialist Movement, a neo-Nazi organization. In a leaked NSM members list, Culpepper appeared in an entry dated January 5, 2007. Culpepper eventually became the NSM’s “PR Director,” a role he held for several years. Culpepper was present with the NSM at 2017’s bloody “Unite the Right” in Charlottesville, Virginia, and led chants of “Blood and soil” at a white nationalist demonstration in Shelbyville, Tennessee, later that year. Culpepper stepped back from the NSM in late 2017, allegedly to “spend more time with his family.” Culpepper then disappeared from public view, although he never left the white power scene. 

With the “tribe’s leader” identified, we had what we needed to locate the compound. We checked the counties next to McMinn (where Etowah is located) for property records under the name “Culpepper.” We found a 122-acre property in Monroe County owned by Liudmila Culpepper, Brian’s wife. Viewing an image of the land on the Tennessee Property Viewer, it was clearly the same property as the aerial photograph shared by Elliott, except that the dojo/temple building had not been erected in the image from the Tennessee info system.

It is important to note that Liudmila Culpepper is a neo-Nazi like her husband—she was photographed at Unite the Right and other neo-Nazi events. While Ian Elliott’s comments on Telegram about the “tribal land” do not mention her, this may be due to women’s labor being treated as invisible within much of the white supremacist movement. 

Ian Elliott’s Affiliations and Networks

To understand the danger of the “Aryan Tribal Land” and the groups it will bring together, it is important to examine Ian Elliott’s organizations, contacts, and friendship circles. Ian Elliott will help decide which other people live on the land, even if “tribal leader” Brian Culpepper has the final say. One of Elliott’s organizations, Patriot Front, has already trained its members on the property and helped with “community building” work days there. Elliott’s other networks will also benefit from the “tribal land.” 

(i)                      Patriot Front

Despite some reporting to the contrary, Ian Elliott remains active in PF. Elliott appeared beside PF’s leader, Thomas Rousseau, in Washington, DC earlier this month, when PF rallied at the national “March for Life.” The following day, Elliott again stuck close by Rousseau during a PF flash demonstration in New York City. This suggests that Elliott continues to provide security for Rousseau. On Telegram, Elliott claims to serve as a “spiritual counselor for our guys in PatriotFront,” although it is unclear whether this is a formal or informal role. As mentioned earlier, Elliott was pleased that other members of PF have joined the Tennessee compound.

(ii)                    Wolves of Vinland and Devotion Jiu-Jitsu

Elliott is also close to the Wolves of Vinland (WoV), a far-right, whites-only masculinist “tribe.” He has visited the WoV “Ulfheim” compound near Lynchburg, Virginia multiple times, and grapples at “Devotion Jiu-Jitsu,” a gym run by WoV leadership. WoV is a direct inspiration for Elliott’s brand of racist heathenism. In a Telegram discussion, Elliott wrote: “I consider [WoV leaders] Matthias and Paul [Waggener] to certainly be mentors to my own Spirituality, [I] learned half of what I do for official Ritual from Matthias when he came to my Land.”   

(iii)                  Active Clubs

Elliott is also involved with the Active Club (AC) network. ACs are regional groups of white nationalists who meet up to place propaganda and to train for violence against their enemies. Rob Rundo, who had earlier co-founded the violent Rise Above Movement (RAM), launched the Active Club network in December 2020. Last year, Rundo was arrested in Romania and extradited to the US to face federal charges stemming from RAM’s involvement in clashes at California rallies during 2017.

Ian Elliott was photographed alongside the Tennessee AC leader Sean Kauffmann and other Tennessee and Alabama AC members last year, at a private gym above the Lewis County Store in Nashville. Elliott competed at a fighting event above this store in November, with Kauffmann also visible in an image from the competition. At the end of last year, The Tennessean announced that the “controversial” Lewis Country Store was being sold.

Tennessee AC leader Sean Kaufmann also appears in footage of the PF “Training Assembly” on the eastern Tennessee land in 2022, although his face is blurred. Kauffmann was not in PF uniform and attended as a guest.

Ian Elliott has AC ties beyond Kauffmann and the Tennessee AC. Elliott attended “Rebirth of a New Frontier”—a white power fighting tournament sponsored by Patriot Front, RAM’s “Media2Rise” offshoot, and the SoCal Active Club—in San Diego in 2022. In a Telegram message from March 2023 but before Rundo’s arrest, Elliott stated that he “talk[s] with Rundo and a bunch of the other [AC] leaders regularly.” In December, Elliott wrote that he is part of the “AC High Council” – in other words, the inner circle that helps set the direction for the overall AC network. Although Elliott’s message has a half-joking tone, with Elliott referring to himself in the third person as “Brother V,” his claim to have sway in the AC network is genuine. 

(iv)                  Aryanity

In our original article exposing Elliott, we highlighted his involvement with Aryanity, an apocalyptic neo-Nazi cult. At the end of October 2022, Ian Elliott officially joined “the Aryan Church” (i.e., Aryanity) after meeting with leader Aaron Chapman and reading an affirmation that he “fully embrace[s] Aryanity as my religion.” Since Aryanity attempts to reconcile white supremacist forms of paganism and Christianity, Elliott’s membership in Aryanity and his identity as a racist Odinist do not necessarily contradict each other. Elliott posts regularly in Aryanity’s Telegram channel, often promoting PF to Aryanity sympathizers. 

(v)                    Ties to Neo-Nazi Bank Robbery Conspiracy

Finally, Corvallis Anti-Fascists have documented Ian Elliott’s ties to Micheal Brown and Luke Kenna, neo-Nazis of “Aryan Compartmented Elements,” who have now pleaded guilty to their roles in a harebrained bank robbery conspiracy. Kenna was a member of Aryanity’s militant wing, and both Kenna and Brown posted on Aryanity’s Telegram chat. A third alleged conspirator, Michael Tierney, also moved in the same circles as Elliott: he and Elliott both appear in a group photograph from a 2022 festival at Devotion Jiu-Jitsu.

We mention the would-be bank robbers to illustrate how Elliott’s circles attract hardcore neo-Nazis who wish to live out race war fantasies. We are concerned that similar militants will pass through or settle on the “Aryan Tribal Land.” 

Others on the “Aryan Tribal Land”

Two other Patriot Front organizers are visible in photos taken on the “tribal land” over approximately the last half year. Both these PF members were also photographed at the gym above the Lewis Country Store in Nashville. While we cannot rule out these individuals simply being visitors to the “tribal land,” they are likely based there longer-term, especially given Ian Elliott’s mid-2023 claim about “Getting more of my [PF] crew on the Land, living and working.” 

(i)                      Kieran Morris

In 2020, New York City Antifa exposed Kieran Morris as a PF “Network Director” responsible for the fascist organization’s efforts in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. In its report, NYC Antifa revealed that prior to joining Patriot Front, Morris had an account on the notorious IronMarch forum and expressed interest in joining Atomwaffen Division, a neo-Nazi group eventually linked to five killings. In Patriot Front, Morris not only led a regional network, but was part of a PF group that traveled to Europe, networking with the Nordic Resistance Movement, Casa Pound, and other European fascist organizations. 

At some point after being exposed, Morris moved to Texas. In 2021, anti-fascists tracked Morris to PF’s then-headquarters in Grapevine, Texas, where he lived with PF leader Thomas Rousseau, Rousseau’s father, and another PF member, Graham Whitson. After Thomas Rousseau, Morris and Whitson left that property, Texas Against Fascism located them yet again, this time in Haslet, Texas. In mid-2022, Morris was one of the thirty-one PF members arrested in Coeur D’Alene, Idaho, over an attempt to disrupt a Pride event. Morris was eventually convicted of conspiracy to riot.

By all appearances, Morris is now in Tennessee. He posed for a photo inside the “tribal land’s” temple/dojo structure, which Elliott shared to Telegram in July. In addition to Morris and Elliott, Brian Culpepper and a fourth individual appear in the image. Morris also appears in a different photo with Elliott and Culpepper, which Elliott shared in September. This photo is from inside a home on the “tribal land.” Morris was also photographed three times at the racist gym above the Lewis Country Store in Nashville. Morris appears in a group photo at the gym from September, as well as in a picture from a fighting event there in November. An image taken inside the gym and posted this month to a Patriot Front-operated Telegram channel shows Elliott, Morris, and others. The image was shared after Lewis Country Store’s sale, but presumably dates from before. 

(ii)                    Stephen Trimboli

Stephen Trimboli joined Patriot Front in 2018 while living in Washington state. In 2021, he relocated to Florida and became PF’s “Network Director” for that state. When PF held an October 2021 regional training camp in Florida in advance of a national march in Washington, DC, Trimboli’s name was on the campground rental. In May 2022, Washington Nazi Watch publicly exposed Trimboli in an article that not only documented his racist organizing, but his deep misogyny and abusive behavior toward an ex-girlfriend, such as encouraging other PF members to target her neighborhood with propaganda. 

This month, Trimboli appeared in photos of the “tribal land” shared by Elliott. Snow is on the ground, which suggests that Trimboli was not merely paying a brief visit (as this would have been a poor time for such a visit.) Stephen Trimboli also appears in a group photo from the gym above Lewis Country Store, which Elliott shared in September. Elliott and Morris are also in this photo, along with other white nationalists. Trimboli’s face is blurred, but he is easily identifiable from his physique. 

Conclusion

For a couple of years, we had heard about a white supremacist land project in Tennessee, which Patriot Front member Ian Elliott and associates were working on. We have now located this “Aryan Tribal Land” on a 122-acre property in Tellico Plains, eastern Tennessee. Brian Culpepper, who spent over a decade in the National Socialist Movement, is leader of the racist “tribe” on the property. Patriot Front has already used the Tennessee compound for one training event, and PF members travel to the land for construction days. Elliott now lives on the compound. 

In addition to Patriot Front, Elliott’s connections range from the Active Clubs network to the neo-Nazi cult of “Aryanity.” Elliott is a skilled networker in the neo-Nazi scene, which he will use to draw others to the land. Elliott’s networks include particularly volatile neo-Nazis, and we expect that such individuals will have a presence at the compound. Finally, we documented two other longtime PF members photographed on the “Aryan Tribal Land” over the last half year. As building on the land increases, it is likely to attract more PF militants. 

Although the white power compound is a concern for our whole region, eastern Tennessee residents will be the most immediately impacted by the racist hub, especially given plans to host large gatherings on the land. If you live in southeast Tennessee or have friends or family there, please share our documentation. We hope that locals, community groups, and churches speak up, sending a strong  message that residents reject Nazism and will stand by each other.

If you have further information on the “Aryan Tribal Land” and its residents, please get in touch. We are always interested in tips about members of Patriot Front and other racist groups operating in our region.

This article is a collaboration between Atlanta Antifascists and Utah Antifascists.

Summary: Nicholas Gene Ambrose is a Patriot Front member from South Carolina, currently living in Columbus, Ohio, where he is an undergraduate student at The Ohio State University. He is active with multiple racist and fascist organizations in the US, and also brags about his connections to other far-right groups overseas. Online, he uses the handle “GoyHio” to talk about stalking and harassing people he perceives as enemies, including other students; and to advocate for violence against women, people of color, Jewish people, and LGBTQ+ people. The actions and behavior documented in this article demonstrate the ongoing threat he poses to members of his community.

In September 2023, Nicholas Gene Ambrose was confronted while putting up white supremacist stickers in broad daylight at a skate park in Columbus, Ohio. He was then named and shamed on Twitter by local researchers. Independently, Ambrose’s online persona had been monitored for months by anti-fascists. We identified him as the person behind the “GoyHio” Telegram handle just three days before he was exposed in Columbus by community members. This article documents his fascist networking and travel; his harassment campaigns and calls for violence against those he perceives as his ideological enemies; and his virulent racism, antisemitism, misogyny, and homophobia/transphobia. We hope this information about Ambrose’s activity will be useful to residents in the Midwest and the South where Ambrose operates.

Nicholas Ambrose aka “GoyHio”

Nicholas Ambrose first came to our attention as Telegram user “GoyHio,” a member of the Southern Sons Active Club (SSAC) chat channel. (Please see our previous articles, “Inside Southern Sons Active Club (Part I)” and “Inside Southern Sons Active Club (Part II),” for more information about the SSAC and its members.) Even in a Telegram chat full of neo-Nazis, Ambrose stood out for his violent rhetoric and threats against individuals he encountered on the internet.

We soon learned that he is a member of Patriot Front and that he lives in Ohio, as his username suggests. He is an undergraduate at The Ohio State University (tOSU) in Columbus, and is believed to be a member of a fraternity there. His LinkedIn profile says he is majoring in Pharmaceutical Sciences and plans to pursue an MS in Anesthesiology with the ultimate goal of becoming a Certified Anesthesiologist Assistant.

Online, Ambrose loves to show off all the things he thinks will make him look cool to other members of the chat.

He also brags about clothes, stickers, and accessories he buys from fascist brands like Runic Storm. In real life he’s reluctant to wear overt Nazi symbols like the swastika, and tries to maintain plausible deniability about his abhorrent beliefs by lying about where he gets his clothes.

Ambrose likes to post photos of himself doing “activism,” and on more than one occasion was helpful enough to point out when he was in a photo posted by someone else.

Nicholas Ambrose and Patriot Front

Patriot Front (PF) was founded in the aftermath of the deadly “Unite the Right” rally held in Charlottesville, Virginia in 2017. Originally a splinter of neo-Nazi group Vanguard America, today PF is mainly known for its masked flash rallies and its nationwide propaganda campaigns. Both are intended to intimidate groups that PF considers targets, such as people of color, Jewish people, and LGBTQ+ people.

Nicholas Ambrose has been a member of Patriot Front since at least the summer of 2022. In late January 2023, he wrote on Telegram that he had not been to Cincinnati in eight months, and that the last time he had been there was for a banner drop. A PF video from the time period eight months before Ambrose’s message corroborates his claim: it shows Ambrose and another Patriot Front member hanging a banner in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio sometime between May and August 2022. Banner drops are performed by members of PF, not mere supporters, so Ambrose’s membership must date to the middle of 2022 at the latest.

Also in August 2022, Patriot Front members in Ohio vandalized a Black Lives Matter mural on an art studio in the Franklinton neighborhood of Columbus. Security footage taken on the night of the Franklinton vandalism should clarify whether Ambrose participated in the defacement, or whether it was the work of his close associates. We know that he was involved with at least one other PF defacement project: he targeted the Ohio University campus in Athens in April 2023, when he and other Patriot Front members painted PF stencils on the campus graffiti wall. 

HARASSING DRAG EVENTS IN OHIO

Between December 2022 and April 2023, PF mobilized to harass three drag events in Ohio: in Columbus on December 3, 2022; in Wadsworth on March 11, 2023; and in Chardon on April 1, 2023. Ambrose was present at two of the three events.

In December, over two dozen PF members rallied against a “Holi-drag storytime” event in Columbus along with Proud Boys, White Lives Matter-Ohio, and other far-right groups. Ambrose’s messages in the SSAC chat show that he was at the Columbus mobilization with PF. He did not participate in the March 11 mobilization in Wadsworth, but is easily identifiable in footage of PF from the April event in Chardon, where nine uniformed members showed up briefly to protest a drag brunch fundraiser.

After each of these three events, the William McKinley Institute (WMKI) website published photos of community members who had turned out to counter the far-right harassment. (For more information on WMKI, please see “Violent White Nationalist Leader Works on ‘Anti-Antifa’ Info Project from New Base in Atlanta.”) After examining the materials on the WMKI website, it appears that Patriot Front members fed images of their local opposition to the Institute. We cannot establish whether Ambrose directly passed any of these photos to WMKI, and we note that he was away traveling during one of the events featured on the site. However, his close associates in PF were certainly involved.

Ambrose has also traveled out of state to participate in PF events. In January 2023 he was photographed at the “March for Life” rally in Washington, DC with other masked individuals, distributing flyers for PF.

While Ambrose has been very active with PF, he does not appear particularly invested in the organization. He flouts the rules, laughs at the organization’s leader (“Tommy,” aka Thomas Rousseau) for his height, and wishes PF’s activism included more violence.

White Lives Matter Network

In addition to his activity with Patriot Front, Ambrose is involved with the White Lives Matter (WLM) network in multiple states. He appeared with the Ohio chapter of WLM on February 11 and February 25, 2023, when they held street demonstrations in Circleville, Ohio and Springfield, Ohio respectively.

One of the WLM-Ohio members who rallied alongside Nicholas Ambrose in Springfield was Aimenn Penny, who was arrested  in March 2023 for firebombing a church where drag events were scheduled.

While he was living in South Carolina over the summer of 2023, Ambrose continued to submit “activism” posts to WLM Telegram channels. In July he was featured in the WLM-Georgia channel after writing graffiti at an “undisclosed location.” Although he wore a ski mask for the photo, Ambrose is identifiable by his height and build, as well as by his clothing, including shorts he had posted about buying from Runic Storm.

Southern Sons Active Club

The Active Club network is comprised of small, mostly autonomous local “fitness” clubs for aspiring street brawlers in Europe and North America. Founded in 2021 by Robert Rundo, it is essentially a re-brand of the violent, white supremacist Rise Above Movement (RAM), which Rundo co-founded in 2016. Active Club membership in the US overlaps significantly with Patriot Front membership in many places, as discussed in our Southern Sons Active Club series. However, as of 2023, PF has little to no representation in South Carolina.

In South Carolina between school terms, Nicholas Ambrose does “activism” with the Southern Sons Active Club (SSAC). The photo above is from a joint PF/SSAC stickering run and photo op in December of 2022, between Ohio State’s Autumn and Spring Semesters. Following the end of Spring semester 2023, Ambrose also found the time to write some embarrassingly shoddy graffiti for SSAC in Columbia, South Carolina.

Much of Ambrose’s  activity with SSAC consisted of posting in their public chat on Telegram. The chat channel, which included both SSAC members and friends of the Active Club, was deleted in the wake of an anti-fascist infiltration. Nicholas Ambrose’s posts in the chat frequently encouraged violence against groups of people he dislikes.

In one particularly disturbing instance, he posted an 11-second video of a man and a woman sitting next to each other on a couch. The woman smiles at the man and says something to him, after which the man pulls out a shotgun and shoots the woman in the head. While fake, the video is quite graphic, showing blood splattered all over the wall after the shooting. As the woman’s apparently dead body lies on the couch with her head out of frame, the man calmly puts away the shotgun, picks up a remote control, and continues watching television. Ambrose posted the video with the caption “me when trans,” signifying that his response to trans people is to think about killing them with a shotgun.

He also advocated violence against specific people he encountered online, as well those mentioned by other chat members.

However, Ambrose could only play the Irony Bro card so many times before even the other neo-Nazis began to suspect that his obsessive violent ideation was not entirely ironic. Near the end of April 2023, Ambrose was banned from the SSAC chat because, in the words of another chat member, “Dude was always just RAPE RAPE RAPE RAPE KILL KILL KILL RAPE.” A week after getting kicked out, he was begging for readmission to the chat, promising to behave better. The mods relented on May 9th; this time he lasted barely two weeks before they banned him again.

Stalking and Targeted Harassment

Nicholas Ambrose has actively stalked and harassed leftists and others he perceives as ideological enemies in his community, including other students at tOSU. When he discovered that a fellow student had been covering his fascist trash with anti-fascist stickers, he retaliated by posting stickers with the other student’s name, address, and photograph around Columbus — including in places where he knew the student would find them.

Note that in the photo he posted to the SSAC chat, he obscured the student’s street address, presumably to avoid leaving clues to his own location. His attempt at secrecy would have been more effective if he had covered up the Ohio State logo on the student’s hat; but whatever his motivation, it was not concern for the student’s safety. When he posted the above photo, Ambrose had already submitted the student’s personal information to a fascist website with a national audience. The dossier published at the site included not only the student’s name, location, and social media handles, but photographs and social media handles of the student’s partner as well. The post encouraged readers to report the student to Ohio State’s online crime report tipline, for the crime of “vandalism” – i.e., putting up stickers.

Other Telegram posts suggest that this was not the only Columbus resident Ambrose harassed. In February 2023, he asked if the SSAC chat would help him “mess with” a student who had posted a flyer looking for someone to play video games with. Ambrose’s message in the chat included a photo of the flyer, with the student’s name, Discord handle, and Switch Friend Code visible.

On January 27th, 2023 he claimed to have surreptitiously photographed a student sitting next to him in a lecture who had an anti-fascist sticker on their laptop. The next day, he stalked a protest march against police brutality in downtown Columbus, posting photos of the demonstrators to the SSAC chat while he walked the protest route with the rest of the crowd. That afternoon one of the photos was also posted in the White Lives Matter-Ohio Telegram channel, along with a claim that WLM had “several operatives” with “concealed body cams” surveilling the protesters so they could be identified and exposed.

ONLINE INFILTRATION ATTEMPTS

In early 2023, using the handle “lewisohg,” Nick Ambrose joined a public Discord server for a youth liberation group in Central Ohio, posing as an anarchist. Although he would later brag about having “infiltrated” leftist chat groups in Columbus, the truth is that a handful of posts in a Discord server intended to be a safe space for minors was enough to get him an invitation. After posting a photo of a flyer for a Charlie Kirk/TPUSA event with the comment “Gross,” he was able to access a text-message group organizing a protest against the event. He had likely already used this tactic once before in the same server, using a now-deleted Discord account, to get access to a Signal group that was tracking his stickering campaign in Columbus.

He would later try the same gambit in an antifascist Discord server whose contents were subsequently leaked to the William McKinley Institute (WMKI). This time, however, he failed to get into vetted areas of the server – at least with his lewisohg handle – because he failed the entrance exam.

In the spring of 2023, he expanded his infiltration efforts to include activist groups in Columbia, South Carolina. On March 30th he posted a screenshot of a Twitter account belonging to a community defense organization in Columbia, and asked if SSAC was “monitoring this Columbia antifa group yet.” When South Carolinian David Fair said he had completely forgotten the group even existed, Ambrose suggested they should confront the group.

By May 12th he was out of school for the summer and attempting to dox an “antifa musician” in South Carolina, whose identity he later claimed to have found.

Two weeks later, WMKI published a piece naming several members of a group organizing against transphobia in South Carolina, and shortly afterward published leaked Discord chat logs from the group. The day after this leak, the musician identified by Ambrose was targeted in a follow-up piece on the fascist National Justice website.

Ambrose also encouraged other members of the SSAC chat to identify and take action against activists in their communities. When users posted about leftists or members of targeted groups in their area, GoyHio would inevitably respond with “have you done anything about that?” “have you doxxed them yet?” etc.

Conservative Student Organizations

On March 2, 2023, GoyHio posted a candid photo of scandal–ridden Florida congressman Matt Gaetz, who was at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Maryland. A group picture from CPAC 2023, posted on Ohio State College Republicans’ social media, shows that Ambrose appears to have traveled to the conference with the club. When the SSAC chat asked why he was in the DC area, however, Ambrose replied that he was there to interview for a summer job as a congressional aide, adding, “This frog is getting into position.” In fascist slang, this is a reference to infiltration of right-wing electoral power structures in order to advance a hidden and more extreme set of beliefs.

Although the Congressional representative interviewing him was not mentioned, Ambrose also posted – and later deleted – a video of South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson’s office door. The residence where Ambrose is believed to have stayed over the summer is within the boundaries of Wilson’s congressional district.

Nicholas Ambrose bragged that while he was in the Washington, DC area, he hung out with Ryan Sanchez, aka Culture War Criminal; “bullied” videographer Ford Fischer at a Groyper event; went on a racist bar-crawl in DC; and went out to dinner with insufferable neo-Nazi twerp Nick Fuentes and a small group of hangers-on. Surprisingly, the latter claim is probably true, albeit missing a few details.

In May 2023 GoyHio posted in the SSAC chat that he had once seen Fuentes get into a fight “IRL,” and asked, “Should I leak the never before seen footage here[?]” He did, in fact, post the footage, despite recognizing that it “might be able to be used to dox me.” He wasn’t wrong: the video was taken while Fuentes was getting kicked out of CPAC, so there were plenty of other photographers and videographers documenting the incident, including one from the New York Post. Video posted to Twitter shows Ambrose approaching Fuentes in a hotel lobby, then pursuing him out onto the sidewalk and maintaining close orbit while Fuentes and his assistants call an Uber. 

There is some question as to whether Nicholas Ambrose is officially a “member” of the OSU College Republicans club, or whether he merely spends a lot of time at their events. After the video surfaced of  Ambrose getting caught stickering a skate park in Columbus, the Ohio State College Republicans tweeted that “following recent events,” their board had “unanimously voted to bar a student from attending.” Ambrose was not mentioned by name, but it was clear from both the timing of the tweet and the replies to it that he was the student in question. The club further claimed he was “not a dues-paying nor active member” of their organization, and deleted several of their tweets and other social media posts in which he appeared.

Ambrose has also been spotted at college events hosted by climate change deniers Committee for A Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT), a group with close ties to the Leadership Institute; Koch Industries-funded Students for Liberty; and Young Americans for Freedom, a group which – among other issues – pushes anti-vax and Covid misinformation. 

Overseas travel and networking

Nicholas Ambrose traveled to Europe at least twice in 2022 and 2023, where he represented Patriot Front and networked with far-right groups. In late December of 2022, he connected with Vanguard Britannica, a relatively new nationalist/anti-immigrant organization in the UK with similar propaganda and aesthetics as those used by Patriot Front in the US. On the same trip, he met with members of Active Club France, as well as neo-fascist “groupuscule” Luminis Paris. Posts in French-language Telegram channels show that he was in Paris on the 26th and 27th of December 2022. He later revealed in the Southern Sons Telegram chat that he had been scheduled to meet with a neo-fascist student union, Groupe Union Défense (GUD), but they had been arrested over a football riot and missed the connection. On January 2nd, 2023 he posted that he was back in the US.

While Ohio State was on Spring Break in March 2023, Ambrose headed to Europe again. This time he visited Switzerland, where he met with neo-Nazi youth group Junge Tat in Zurich and Francophone nationalists Ouest Casual in Geneva.

Interactions like these are concerning because they can lead to coordination and material support between geographically disparate far-right groups. Even when these meetups amount to little more than a handshake and a selfie, they provide propaganda value: both groups can portray themselves as important players on the world stage, no matter how small or marginal they are in their home country.

Nicholas Ambrose Is A Danger To His Community

In addition to the real-world harm he has already caused to his fellow students and others around him, Nicholas Ambrose represents an ongoing threat to any community he lives or works in. He has already been reprimanded or banned by at least one neo-Nazi group; his violent ideation is at such an extreme level that they assess him to be a potential liability. His expressions of misogyny, a well-known predictor of real-life violence, further distinguish him within an already misogynistic milieu.

Should he succeed in entering the medical field, he would be in a position to inflict harm on those to whom he provides medical services. Given the violent hatred he expresses for women, people of color, Jewish people, LGBTQ+ people, and other individuals, this is a position of trust he should never be placed in. If you have further information about Ambrose’s whereabouts, associates, or activity, please contact us.

Adam Ray Davenport (born May 16, 1989) of Derden Circle SW in Lilburn, metro Atlanta is a key member of Patriot Front in our state. Patriot Front (PF) formed in 2017 as a breakaway from the fascist Vanguard America group, in the immediate aftermath of the deadly “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. From the beginning of PF, our organization has documented its activity in our state and exposed its organizers. Davenport joined PF last year and quickly became one of its most committed members in our region.

In addition to his activity with Patriot Front, Davenport is behind the newly formed “Atlas Active Club” which claims to operate in metro Atlanta and north Georgia. The Active Club network provides a space for white nationalists to network with each other and to train for violence against their targets. Davenport is also an online propagandist for his white power cause, running a Substack account and a Telegram channel offering a “pro-White perspective” on events in metro Atlanta. This propaganda outlet regularly promotes PF and circulates updates from the local chapter.

Identification

On May 13, 2023, a Telegram account using the name “Tachi” posted to the discussion channel for White Lives Matter in Georgia. “Tachi” shared a link for the Atlanta Alternative channel, which he promoted as “a new […] page for […] news from a pro white perspective.” The Atlanta Alternative channel began just a couple of days earlier. One of the channel’s early posts celebrated “local Patriot Front activists” who had placed large stencil graffiti for the racist organization in Atlanta.

Investigating the “Tachi” account, we soon found that this account had an extensive comment history in a different Telegram discussion channel, affiliated with the “Fren Report” internet broadcast. In this channel, “Tachi” was open about his Patriot Front involvement. He posted pictures of himself, usually with his face obscured, and shared an image of his “white [nationalist and associated] books”—which becomes relevant later.

Scrolling back long enough in the “Fren Report” channel, we located a January 2022 post by “Tachi” in which he mentioned receiving his copy of a small-press, underground comics anthology that published a comic by him. After some research, we located an Instagram page for Adam Davenport where he mentioned contributing to this same issue of the underground comics anthology. We further confirmed our identification of Davenport by comparing images of “Tachi” from the “Fren Report” discussion channel to those of Davenport on his Facebook account. Davenport provided additional verification this May, when he changed the banner image on his Facebook account to match the profile picture for “Colin Davis” on Substack. Davenport uses this “Davis” account for the Atlanta Alternative channel’s presence on Substack.

Personal History

Davenport is a recovering addict, writing last year to the “Fren Report” channel that he was scheduled to finish treatment in October after “7 years […] and 10 years on heroin before that.” Patriot Front is, at least officially, highly anti-drug and claims to help members to recover from unhealthy lifestyles. PF’s politics are based on hatred of other races and the belief that there is a Jewish conspiracy against white people. (PF typically uses code phrases and does not say “Jewish” directly.) PF and similar racist groups view drug abuse less as a problem within white communities than as the result of corrupting influences from outside. Racist movements can be attractive to some recovering addicts because they provide a clear sense of purpose, as well as a ready-made community supposedly outside the drug scene. However, because white supremacists blame drugs on imagined plots against the white race, they can offer no real solutions or guidance, only scapegoating. When white supremacists end up relapsing or abusing hard drugs, this gets hidden from view and treated as a shameful secret.

(Another example of this projection dynamic within Patriot Front is that while the organization participates in far-right campaigns portraying LGBTQ+ people as “groomers,” Patriot Front member Jared M. Boyce was recently sentenced on child porn charges… after getting arrested when Patriot Front tried to disrupt an LGBTQ+ Pride event in Idaho.) 

Davenport told the “Fren Report” discussion channel that he was raised as a racist, but that his father “went from a [racist] skin[head] to a race mixer in the span of 10 years” (comment of February 15, 2022). Davenport claimed that his father “turning into a race mixer” is what transformed Davenport into a full “NatSoc” (national socialist i.e., Nazi). Davenport also claimed that he has not talked with his father since this time. Davenport dates this full embrace of neo-Nazism to approximately 2009, which would mean he spent years as an active heroin user while also an ideological white supremacist. 

In 2011, during the time he claims he was on heroin, Adam Davenport shot a friend in the head. Davenport had been attempting to clear a handgun at his Derden Circle home and squeezed the trigger a couple of times before the gun finally went off, hitting his friend above the eye. “Tachi” indirectly referred to the incident in a 2022 comment on the Fren Report discussion channel, writing: “I know someone who got shot like that be careful bud” when another member of the channel mentioned a jammed round. Davenport was charged with Reckless Conduct as well as Pointing or Aiming Gun or Pistol At Another, but Gwinnett County authorities appear to have eventually dropped this prosecution. 

In the Telegram chat for neo-Nazi propagandist “Epic Danger,” “Tachi”/Davenport mentioned that he also faced criminal charges for Terroristic Threats. Davenport stated that he confronted a Black man who he claimed was “selling heroin […] to white kids.” Davenport wrote that authorities “tried to upgrade my terroristic threat to a hate crime” because Davenport used the n-word while threatening the man, but that charges “didn’t stick thankfully.” Online records show that Decatur Police arrested Davenport on a felony Terroristic Threats charge in May 2016. According to the timeline set out by Davenport in other comments, this incident would have been within a year or two of Davenport beginning methadone treatment for his heroin addiction. Rather than taking responsibility for the harm he did to himself and others while using heroin, Davenport’s ideology led him to shift all blame and anger to other races. 

Patriot Front

Comments made to the “Fren Report” discussion channel suggest that Davenport interviewed to join Patriot Front in April 2022. Even before he entered that organization, Davenport was active in white supremacist networks. For example, at the time he applied to PF, Davenport maintained a self-described “overtly racist” channel on Telegram, which he used to circulate files of neo-Nazi propaganda. 

Once he joined PF, Davenport threw himself into activity for the organization. At the end of May—after about a month in the organization—Davenport traveled to the Ozarks to participate in a Patriot Front training camp over the Memorial Day weekend. There, Davenport claims to have “met some of the Will2Rise guys,” referring to the clothing line for the violent Rise Above Movement. 

Davenport regularly places propaganda for Patriot Front. Unsurprisingly, Patriot Front stickers surfaced in Lilburn after Davenport joined the group. Davenport also traveled further afield with other members to place PF stencil graffiti or to hang banners promoting PF at overpasses. In a June 2022 comment to the “Fren Report” discussion channel, Davenport mentioned painting a large Patriot Front banner in his driveway with “the boys,” while “our new mixed couple moved in next door.” Davenport referred to one of the new neighbors with an anti-Black slur.

Adam Davenport seems to have participated in at least two major national marches for PF in 2022. On Saturday, July 2, 2022, about one hundred PF members including Davenport marched through Boston, Massachusetts. Early on the morning of the third, Davenport told the “Fren Report” chat that “I am currently sleeping 8 deep in a 1 bed hotel.” He later added: “I gotta get like 3 h[ou]rs of sleep and drive 9 hours [and] I’m done.” This means that the group from Davenport’s regional PF network had made it slightly less than halfway back from Boston before stopping to rest at the hotel.

Patriot Front also held a Labor Day Weekend rally in Indianapolis, Indiana on September 3, 2022, when approximately 75 PF members marched through the downtown area. Davenport’s “Fren Report” comments suggest he was there. Davenport did not post in the chat for over 24 hours starting Friday evening. When he resurfaced on Saturday evening, Davenport asked another participant if he had seen “Indianapolis” and shared PF video clips from the rally that day. Davenport commented that another member of the chat, “Jamie,” had gone to the “NJP event” but “should of [sic] come hang out.” On the same day as the PF Indianapolis rally, the racist and antisemitic National Justice Party held a gathering at a private venue in South Vienna, Ohio. South Vienna is slightly over two hours away from Indianapolis. Davenport’s comment that “Jamie” should have come and hung out suggests that the two people were in the same general area at the time.

In August 2022 before the Indianapolis rally, Davenport relocated from metro Atlanta to Birmingham, Alabama. Even before this move, Davenport had been traveling to Alabama for Patriot Front activity. A video shared by Davenport to the “Fren Report” channel on the evening of July 17, 2022 shows an as-yet unidentified member of Patriot Front in our state, “Conrad,” driving east on I-20 in Alabama on the way back to Georgia, with Davenport in the passenger seat. The two were presumably returning after a weekend of Patriot Front activity. On August 8, 2022, Davenport commented in the same chat that he had just done “a 40 ft stencil with one other dude this morning”—meaning the large stencil graffiti used by PF to advertise the racist group. Davenport painted this graffiti in or near Birmingham—subsequent comments reveal that he was in the city to line up his job there before his proper move later that month. Davenport continued to be active with PF while living in Alabama.

When Davenport returned to metro Atlanta this year, local Patriot Front activity increased. His Facebook account gives a date in March for his return to Lilburn, although this may or may not be exact. Starting this year, Patriot Front have placed stencil graffiti in Atlanta at a greater frequency than before, with tunnels and underpasses being particularly favorite targets. Occasionally, slogans associated with the violent Rise Above Movement—such as “Will 2 Rise” and “Free Rob Rundo”—are left near the PF stencil graffiti. Thankfully, community members usually notice the fascist graffiti quickly and prioritize painting over it. PF conduct similar propaganda efforts in the Atlanta suburbs, mostly north of the city.

“The Atlanta Alternative”

Adam Davenport launched a racist media project with a local focus, “The Atlanta Alternative,” this May. The project aims to complement the national messaging of organizations such as Patriot Front. The Atlanta Alternative regularly promotes the efforts of “local Patriot Front activists.” It has also posted favorably about the antisemitic Goyim Defense League, which it labels as a “pro-White activist group,” and circulates materials from the “William McKinley Institute,” an anti-anti-fascist project. The Atlanta Alternative churns out posts about crime and corruption in metro Atlanta, but only draws attention to instances where the accused are Black. Another theme of The Atlanta Alternative is alleged anti-white persecution in metro Atlanta. Davenport’s media project regularly provides updates on the Stop Cop City movement, which it portrays as “anti-white extremists.” The Atlanta Alternative has a simple implicit message: Atlanta is spiraling out of control, and only the local Nazis will do something about it.

Atlas Active Club

The latest project promoted on The Atlanta Alternative is “Atlas Active Club” (AAC). AAC’s Telegram channel was created on July 11 but the Club was officially announced on July 20. Operating in metro Atlanta and north Georgia, AAC is a new instance of the “Active Club” network launched by violent fascist Robert Rundo and his closest associates. Active Club participants train together and circulate white power propaganda, usually in the form of stickers or graffiti. As well as helping participants to prepare themselves for violence against their perceived enemies, Active Clubs bring together fascists who may be active in different organizations, facilitating networking and coordination between groups. Because Active Club meetups are informal, they can also help draw new recruits deeper and deeper into the white nationalist underground.

One day before AAC’s first post went on Telegram, on July 19 a Twitter account using the name “Esoteric Dixieoid” published the logo for the Rise Above Movement (RAM), but with a Confederate flag on a pole replacing the sword in the original RAM design. The Twitter post added a caption: “Soon.” RAM was a notorious street fighting gang led by Robert Rundo, which provided an early template for Rundo’s “Active Club” network. At the time of writing, Rundo has just been extradited from Europe back to California to face conspiracy to riot charges for his 2017 activities with RAM. The Twitter post from “Esoteric Dixieoid” had a clear message: Rundo’s network was coming to the South. Since Active Clubs already exist throughout the region, the Twitter account may have been suggesting a particularly close connection to Rundo’s lieutenants, or that the new initiative would be especially loyal to the original RAM vision. The following day, this Twitter account published the announcement for AAC. The owner of the Twitter account was clearly a leader of the just-announced Club, since he referred to “our members” when the group had been public for less than a day.

“Esoteric Dixieoid” is Adam Davenport. In our earlier “Identification” section, we wrote about how we conclusively tied the “Tachi” account on Telegram to Davenport. That Telegram account’s comments provided an overview of Davenport’s activity with Patriot Front. We also mentioned that last year “Tachi” shared a photograph of some of his books to the “Fren Report” Telegram channel. “Esoteric Dixieoid” also posted pictures from his book collection to Twitter. When we compared images, it became obvious that the Telegram and Twitter images were from the same collection, with the person having a special fondness for books by and about Nazi collaborator Léon Degrelle. Further, one paperback displayed by both “Tachi” and “Esoteric Dixieoid” had distinctive cover wear and was clearly the exact same copy. “Tachi” and “Esoteric Dixieoid” shared this book collection because they were the same person: Adam Davenport.

So far, Atlas Active Club has only had a few meetups, at least that the club has documented on Telegram. Photos from the Active Club’s gatherings suggest that it currently has half a dozen or fewer participants. Nevertheless, AAC may be taking much of Davenport’s attention, since posts to The Atlanta Alternative have dwindled.

Adam Davenport’s organizing with AAC does not mean that he has left Patriot Front. On June 23, his “Esoteric Dixieoid” account referred to PF head Thomas Rousseau as “my leader.” Davenport continues to comment favorably on Twitter about his PF involvement, and The Atlanta Alternative still promotes the organization. Rather than replacing Davenport’s PF activity, AAC may operate side-by-side with it. The Active Club provides an outlet for using more explicitly neo-Nazi rhetoric and imagery than Patriot Front would allow. Already, one AAC post on Telegram begins by quoting Hitler. The Active Club may be used as a label of convenience when pursuing more confrontational tactics, providing some level of deniability to PF even as it contains many of the same people. 

Conclusion

We have identified Adam Ray Davenport as a core member of Patriot Front in metro Atlanta. After he applied to join Patriot Front in April last year, Davenport participated in many of the organization’s graffiti campaigns and other propaganda efforts around our city. He was also active with PF during the approximately half a year he lived in Birmingham, Alabama. As well as his efforts in our region, Davenport travels to major PF events in other parts of the country.

Davenport also operates an online propaganda project named The Atlanta Alternative. Recently, Davenport launched the Atlas Active Club, in which he and his white supremacist associates train for violence against those they view as enemies. 

We believe that as an active and well-networked white supremacist, Adam Davenport is a threat to those around him. Please circulate our documentation to those who live near Davenport or may encounter him. Reach out if you have further information on Davenport, his activities, or his associates, either in Patriot Front or the Active Club network.

Christian Tyler Goggins (born 1993) of Bessemer, Alabama is a member of Patriot Front (PF), a white supremacist and fascist organization whose members just keep getting exposed. Goggins goes by the alias “Andrew AL” within the racist group. A trove of PF internal communications that was leaked online in January 2022 clearly identifies Goggins as “Andrew AL”. Goggins participated in PF’s masked national rally in Washington, DC on December 4, 2021 alongside other Alabama members. He also joined PF members in placing propaganda for the organization in Birmingham, Alabama the weekend before that demonstration. Goggins’ online trails connect him to other white supremacist circles such as the neo-Nazi bonehead music scene.

In a message sent before Patriot Front’s national demonstration in December, Goggins shared his home address to another Alabama member, “James AL”. “James AL” was supposed to leave his car at Goggins’ home, before another PF member, “Sean AL”, collected the two and drove them north. Goggins also identified himself by providing a CashApp account linked to his real name in an earlier message to “Sean AL”.

After Patriot Front’s national rally, Goggins further confirmed his participation by posting to a PF regional chat that he was “Really glad I was able to make it out and finally be a part of one of the demonstrations”. According to leaked comments, Goggins and three other Patriot Front members also placed propaganda in Birmingham, Alabama on the night of Sunday, November 28, 2021 – less than a week before the road trip to the DC rally.

On the Telegram messaging application, Goggins uses the name “Reichneck” –a reference to Hitler’s Third Reich. Goggins chose an image of segregationist politician and four-term governor of Alabama, George Wallace, as his profile picture. The “Reichneck” account is a member of the Telegram group for the White Lives Matter (WLM) racist network in Alabama. While Goggins does not seem particularly active in that network, in his leaked Patriot Front comments Goggins notified other Alabama PF members of an upcoming WLM rally. Goggins’ Telegram account is also a member of the “Southern white nationalists chat group”, which promotes and is closely tied to the white supremacist and Southern secessionist League of the South. In his comments to this chat, Goggins/“Reichneck” defended Patriot Front on February 4, 2021, insisting that Patriot Front was a true “WN [white nationalist] organization” and that nobody could find “a n[****]r or a s[**]c in PF uniform.”

Tyler Goggins enjoys and is connected to the bonehead (racist “skinhead”) scene. In his profile image on the Venmo electronic payments app, Goggins wears a t-shirt for Vengeance, a late 1980s racist rock group from the UK. In his payment history, Goggins sent funds to Travis Condor, a bonehead with a history of violence who is affiliated with American Defense Skinheads and highly involved in the US white power music scene. As a sick joke, Goggins used Star of David icons to accompany his payment to the neo-Nazi.

If you have further information on Goggins or other members of Patriot Front, please get in touch. We particularly seek information about Goggins’ work. As an active white supremacist, Goggins is a threat to co-workers, customers, and the communities he visits for his job.
