Federal prisoner held in NH shines light on growing NSC-131 White nationalist movement

 

The recent arrest of a Portland neo-Nazi on child pornography charges provided a stark reminder that New England is not immune to the expansion of white nationalist extremist groups in the United States.

 

An expert on the National Socialist Club, or NSC-131, said the extremist group that recently established a presence in Maine represents a tiny offshoot in the wider world of white supremacist groups and might count only about two dozen members in New England.

 

“They formed in early 2020, and are a very small group of folks, kind of outcasts of groups like Patriot Front and other groups that had fallen apart,” said Carla Hill, an associate director at the Center on Extremism for the Anti-Defamation League, which tracks the NSC.

 

Andrew Hazelton, 28, is being held in a New Hampshire jail on a federal charge of possessing child pornography. The criminal case was the result of a report by a Portland business owner who had employed Hazelton, had become increasingly alarmed by his behavior, and feared he might commit a workplace shooting. The employer called police after receiving an anonymous tip with an image that showed someone pointing a stun-gun device at another employee in their office.

 

Hazelton is a White supremacist and former member of NSC-131, which was formed in Massachusetts and pushes age-old racist tropes that were touted by Adolf Hitler’s Nazi party. It targets Jewish people and non-white people, and seeks to create an underground resistance group.

 

NSC stands for Nationalist Social Club. The “131” stands for the letters ACA, for Anti-Communist Action, according to the Anti-Defamation League, which tracks hate groups in the United States.

 

Hazelton had stacks of crisp, freshly printed NSC fliers in his apartment at the time he was arrested, which were shown to a reporter by Hazelton’s roommate. The propaganda calls on white men to organize and protect their families and property against perceived enemies.

Fifth-graders at Maugham Elementary School in Tenafly, N.J. were tasked to write about the accomplishments of notable people and to dress up as their selected person.

 

“I was pretty great wasn’t I,” the student wrote in pencil, using Hitler’s voice and highlighting his rise to power. “I was very popular and many people followed me until I died. My [belief] in antisemitism drove me to kill more than 6 million Jews.”

 

That essay hung on school walls among others in April, according to Lori Birk, an Englewood mother who on Sunday posted the widely shared image of the essay on her Facebook page.

Soldier with a swastika tattooed on his testicle is jailed for 19 months for breaching Austria's Nazi glorification laws

 

An Austrian soldier has been jailed for 19 months after getting a swastika tattooed on his testicle.

 

The 29-year-old drank two bottles of whiskey before his brother tattooed the banned symbol on his scrotum, the court in the city of Klagenfurt heard.

 

He posted a picture of the tattoo online and showed it off to army colleagues on another occasion while drunk on the final evening of a military exercise.

 


The soldier, who has not been identified because of Austrian privacy laws, was further accused of posting Nazi photos at a Cold War bunker museum, drinking Hitler-branded wine and posting Nazi propaganda online.

 

He was sentenced to 19 months in prison for the glorification of Nazism and illegal firearm possession.

Wearing masks, advocating for racial purity, multi-colored smoke...sounds like they've been reading too much Harry Potter and fancy themselves as Deatheaters.

I think it may be “watched” too much. Not sure their reading skills could get them through a 500+ page book.

Parents say man shows up with swastika flags outside Punta Gorda elementary school

 

Parents are calling us in outrage over what is happening outside their children’s elementary school. They want a man who bears upsetting flags to stay away from their kids.

 

Parents of students who attend Sallie Jones Elementary School in Punta Gorda filed a report with police about a man they say has swastika flags and visits outside the school with them, while shouting at parents dropping their kids off.

 

“I’ve just never seen anything so inappropriate in my whole life,” parent Adam Ackerman said.

 

“He was emphasizing toward the police,” parent Carla Mitchell said. “He had two flags and a Nazi sign. And when the officer came up, it was emphasizing showing the sign, especially the Nazi one.”

 

Ackerman saw the man twice on the sidewalk near the school.

 

“We saw him again this morning wildly screaming profanities at us, our children, as we simply drop our children off at school,” Ackerman said. “I think it’s inappropriate, and I want to put an end to it.”

 

Although parents view the accused man’s actions as inappropriate, they are not illegal. A Punta Gorda city ordinance prohibits signs with obscene language or symbols that can be viewed from public property.

 

But Punta Gorda Police Department told us the man has not broken the law, so there’s nothing they can do.

Mask with Nazi symbols sold at Fort Lauderdale gas station

 

Kelly Wagner had to sit in her car and take a deep breath after she saw the face mask full of swastikas being sold inside a Shell gas station in Fort Lauderdale.

 

“After the initial shock — horror — I asked the woman behind the counter, ‘Is Shell actually selling swastika face masks?’” Wagner told Local 10 News.

 

“And she outright said yes. Her response to me was, ’Whatever. We sell what it is that they give us to sell.’”

 

It’s unclear how many of the $5 masks — which also includes Nazi eagle insignia — were sold at that Shell located at 6201 Powerline Road, on the corner of Powerline and Cypress Creek Road.

 

The good news is we bought the last one there. After our report, it will be thrown out in the trash.

Tennis instructor accused of flashing Nazi salute at Birmingham schools meeting loses his job

 

Paul Marcum, who witnesses say flashed a Nazi salute and chanted “Heil Hitler” at a raucous Birmingham Board of Education meeting last week, has lost his job as a tennis instructor at the Sports Club of West Bloomfield.

 

Marcum worked at the health and fitness club every fall but he won’t be allowed to return this year, the owner tells Metro Times, declining further comment.

 

Marcum also owns Paul Marcum’s Tennis Service LLC and lives in Bloomfield Hills, according to state records.

 

Police are investigating Marcum after witnesses said he flashed the Nazi salute and repeated “Heil Hitler” Wednesday evening while a Black woman and Jewish woman were at a podium showing their support for the school district’s new mask mandate.

How a Small Town Silenced a Neo-Nazi Hate Campaign

 

Richard Spencer, the most infamous summer resident in the town of Whitefish, Montana, once boasted that he stood at the vanguard of a white nationalist movement emboldened by President Donald Trump. Things have changed.

 

“I have bumped into him, and he runs. That’s actually a really good feeling,” said Tanya Gersh, a real estate agent targeted in an antisemitic hate campaign that Andrew Anglin, founder of neo-Nazi website Daily Stormer, unleashed in 2016 after Spencer’s mother made online accusations against Gersh.

 

Leaders in Whitefish say Spencer, who once ran his National Policy Institute from his mother’s $3 million summer house in Whitefish, is now an outcast in this resort town in the Rocky Mountains, unable to get a table at many of its restaurants. His organization has dissolved. Meanwhile, his wife has divorced him, and he is facing a trial next month in Charlottesville, Virginia, over his role in the deadly 2017 neo-Nazi march there but said he cannot afford a lawyer.

 

The turn of events is no accident. Whitefish, a mostly liberal, affluent community nestled in a county that voted for Trump in 2016 and 2020, rose up and struck back. Residents who joined with state officials, human rights groups and synagogues said their bipartisan counteroffensive could hold lessons for others in an era of disinformation and intimidation, and in the wake of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

 

“The best way to respond to hate and cyberterrorism in your community is through solidarity,” said Rabbi Francine Green Roston of the Glacier Jewish Community/B’nai Shalom, who now lectures other groups on how to ward off hate campaigns like the one Whitefish endured. “Another big principle is to take threats seriously and prepare for the worst.”

A White Supremacist Is Organizing Fight Clubs Across the US

 

American white supremacist Robert Rundo’s last known whereabouts was Bosnia and Herzegovina, after he was kicked out of Serbia by local authorities back in March. He’s claimed to be on the “no-fly list” and has boasted that, as a result, it took him “a few months” to make his way from the U.S. to Eastern Europe. Meanwhile, he’s waiting to find out if the Supreme Court will hear his last-ditch appeal to avoid jail time for federal rioting charges. 

 

Though nobody knows where Rundo is, his latest pet project—a network of far-right, locally-operated MMA groups dubbed  “Active Clubs”—are cropping up in the U.S. and beyond. 

Through his new organization, Will2Rise, Rundo has sought alliances with more-established outfits like the Proud Boys and Patriot Front by appealing to their glorification of masculinity, youth, white nationalism, and violence. 

 

Two centralized Telegram channels for Will2Rise and  “Active Club” gives Rundo and other leaders in the movement the platform to tout their highly-stylized, neo-fascist aesthetic through propaganda videos and images, many of which are generated through their own “media outlet” Media2Rise. 

 

The main “active club” channel cross-pollinates propaganda from nationalist fight clubs around the world, such as images of muscled white men with their faces covered, doing pull-ups, boxing, or graffitiing white nationalist slogans or symbols. The channel also helps direct subscribers toward smaller, locally-focused channels that facilitate real-world meet-ups. 

 

For years, Mixed Martial Arts, or MMA, has been a mainstay of the far-right in Europe, and Rundo’s made no secret of his admiration for key players in that scene. He’s close friends with Russian neo-Nazi football hooligan Denis Niktin, who co-runs Media2Rise and owns a neo-Nazi lifestyle brand “White Rex”. The two men record a podcast, broadcasted via their outlet, in which they cover “the highs and the lows, from underground MMA events to FBI house raids.” (When authorities searched Rundo’s home in 2018, they found a large framed portrait of Adolf Hitler.)

Rio police say €3m Nazi trove found at home of child sexual abuse suspect

 

Police in Rio de Janeiro have found a haul of Nazi memorabilia and weapons worth an estimated €3m at the home of a Brazilian man suspected of raping a minor.

 

Rio’s civil police said they found more than 1,000 items at the home of the 58-year-old unnamed suspect, including Nazi uniforms, periodicals, paintings, Nazi insignia, images of Adolf Hitler, flags and medals of the Third Reich. They also found guns and ammunition from the era.

 

The haul was discovered after police went to the man’s home to serve an arrest warrant on suspicions he had raped a minor and abused other children in his condominium in the west of the city. The suspect was also charged with illegal possession of a weapon and racial discrimination.

 

“He is a smart guy and articulate, but he’s a Holocaust denier, he’s homophobic, he’s a pedophile and he says he hunts homosexuals,” Luis Armond, the lead detective on the case, told Reuters. “I’m no doctor, but he seems to me an insane psychopath.”
