We're trending on X now lmao

NEW: We’ve identified the man who runs the far-right troll account on X “HowlingMutant,” whose jokes about rape and the Holocaust have earned him nearly 200,000 followers, which include Vice President JD Vance. His name is Alexander Norden, from Rockaway Park in New York City.

NEW: Vice President JD Vance follows fascists and antisemites on X. Several accounts joke about Holocaust denial, one has called himself a “fascist,” another a “national socialist,” and a third says Hitler was “the lesser evil.”

🚨 @decoherence.media just used OSINT Industries to expose the leader of a neo-Nazi Active Club in Kansas. This is exactly what we built the platform for: investigative journalists doing the work that protects communities 🎯 Read their investigation👇 decoherence.media/leader-of-ka...

Patriot Front-run Active Clubs want you to think they're not violent, that they're just a group that cares about fitness and defending Western culture. However, despite what PF members may say in court or to CNN, reporting shows over and over again that PF & ACs are full of violent neo-Nazis.

An investigation by @decoherence.media identifies the leader of the Heartland Active Club, a Kansas neo-Nazi group, as Jacob Daniel Jones. According to GPAHE, Active Clubs now operate in over two dozen countries, united by white supremacist ideology, and growing ties to networks like Patriot Front.

NEW: @kylebazgo.bsky.social and @tristanl.ee have identified the leader of neo-Nazi group Heartland Active Club as 32-year-old Jacob Daniel Jones from Olathe, KS. Under the alias “Prairie Nationalist”, Jones has praised neo-Nazi mass shooter Anders Breivik and is “training for a war”.

BREAKING: X’s chatbot Grok isn’t just making AI porn deepfakes, it’s now making Nazi AI porn deepfakes, undressing women and showing them wearing “swastika bikinis”. Many of these women are Jewish, including a recently deceased Holocaust survivor.

An investigation of @decoherence.media finds a Lithuanian online shop selling thousands of embroidered patches tied to neo-Nazi & far-right extremist groups. As @heidibeirich.bsky.social warns, “patches, posters, & other propaganda are central to spreading hateful messaging & extremist ideologies.”

We’ve identified a website that’s become the go-to store for the most radical fringe of the far-right to design and order patches from.

“At a time when masked agents of the state act with impunity, emboldened neo-Nazi groups march in the streets, and one institution after another legitimizes authoritarian consolidation, there’s a need for unflinching reporting to hold these forces to account.” 👏 @decoherence.media decoherence.media

Co-founded by former @bellingcat.com data scientist Tristan Lee, new org @decoherence.media revisited a 2019 leak from the neo-Nazi forum Iron March. By recovering its full web server, reporters mapped 275K+ visitors and traced links to the militant Atomwaffen Division. https://twp.ai/9PY3ZC

Iron March “Black Sun Rising,”... “Rope & Soap,” before settling on "NOOSE." The name is a reference to the “Day of the Rope,” a white supremacist meme originating from the racist 1978 book "The Turner Diaries" that describes the hanging of all “race traitors” after a fictionalized white revolution.

"Rope culture" refers to "the day of the rope", which is found in the book the Turner diaries. It’s regarding the mass execution of "race traitors" when white supremacists take over California and start having lynchings on all their enemies. That’s what "rope culture. org" is named after.

Amazingly exciting project please follow

I'm excited but a bit sad to announce that I've left Bellingcat to start a nonprofit investigative outlet focused on the far-right. We're called Decoherence Media, and we're launching today.

Today we published the last of three articles investigating the exposed web server for the neo-Nazi magazine Rope Culture. We’re identifying several far-right figures involved, including a Canadian Nazi podcaster-turned-Orthodox priest, a Danish metal musician, and a notorious American pedophile.

Yesterday we published the first of 3 articles that investigate the exposed web server for the neo-Nazi magazine Rope Culture. Today we've just published the second part, which analyzes the published articles, reader comments, and web traffic data.

As part of our investigation into the Rope Culture web server, we created a search interface for Nazi forum scrapes and leaked databases called FashyLeaks. Currently it includes the Iron March and Rope Culture datasets, with many more to come.

We found the exposed web server of Rope Culture, a neo-Nazi online magazine from the same Nazis behind the notorious Iron March forum. It contains hundreds of email addresses of the site’s commenters, emails sent to & from their mail server & the IP address of every visit to the site.

Welcome to Decoherence Media, an independent nonprofit founded by @jennefer.bsky.social and @tristanl.ee that investigates authoritarian and anti-democratic movements using open-source and data-driven methods.
