    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.

    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.

  • Patrick Little: How the Mainstream made the Little Nazi that Could

    Much has been said about the several far-Right candidates running for political office across the United States in 2018. Given the increased level of white power activity occurring in Northern California in recent years, it’s not surprising that one of these candidates calls the Bay Area home.

    Patrick Little is a neo-Nazi and member of the League of the South as well as a former marine. He currently lives in Albany (nestled right next to Berkeley) and is trying to replace Dianne Feinstein as a senator representing California. After interviewing Little, one journalist concluded that:

    “[W]hat sets him apart is that on April 24, a SurveyUSA poll had him placing second in the Senate race, gathering more than twice as much support as any other Republican. If that turns out to be a correct predictor and he places second among the nearly three dozen candidates competing in the June 5 primary, he would face Feinstein in November’s general election.”

    The fact that Little is polling in second place ahead of the June 5th primary is the result of the last few years of Alt-Right agitation as well as the way the media, liberals, and Republicans have all responded to the Alt-Right. These groups all in their own ways have participated in pulling fascist politics closer to the mainstream.
