Denis Kapustin (“Nikitin”), Russian neo-Nazi leader of the Russian Volunteer Corps (RDK) fighting on the Ukrainian side against Russia, has been killed in battle, reportedly by an FPV drone strike International neo-Nazi Telegram is already full of remembrances and eulogies for ‘White Rex’

This is wild. In October 2024, I was able to review chats in almost real time from a Signal group comprised of dozens of Nazis in Europe, the US & Australia. They were calling for coordinated strikes against Jewish institutions, migrant camps, government buildings and other targets on 10/16/24 1/6

I can now report that the organizer of the Signal group behind the neo-Nazi terror plot was Vincent Weidlich, a 36-year-old American better known as an AI and neuroscience researcher. Weidlich was arrested in Brazil on Oct. 14, 2024. 3/6 www.rawstory.com/raw-investig...

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.

Read our latest investigation. For those not steeped in the far-right, it's hard to over-emphasize how Bad some of these groups are. Their members have murdered people, sexually extorted children, and inspired mass shootings.

This article quotes Jason Lee Van Dyke, a self-described fascist who I found participated in a Patriot Front private chat room, to say he is not a member of Patriot Front and to defend Patriot Front's reputation. The article does not mention his fascist beliefs or his participation in the chat room.

In 2019 Van Dyke tried to join The Base, a neo-Nazi paramilitary group that the European Union has designated as a terrorist organization. Quoting him as if he's a normal lawyer is ridiculous. www.vice.com/en/article/a...

CNN has suddenly discovered Tennessee's Patriot Front compound that was a subject of an extensive NewsChannel 5 investigation back in March. Here is my report: 1/ www.newschannel5.com/news/newscha...

“Meta appears to selectively enforce its policy on hateful content, removing some Nazi references while leaving other forms of hatred on the platform.” Overt Nazi and fascist content on Instagram, especially if it’s not in English, has become increasingly easy to find in the last year or more…

Adding that Jason Lee Van Dyke is also deeply involved with Patriot Front. He's more than PF's preferred lawyer. Inside PF, Van Dyke is known as Big John TX. Only members of PF are given aliases b/c they want to hide their involvement in the openly fascist group. www.splcenter.org/resources/ha...

A North Texas attorney who has repeatedly described himself as a fascist and said he despises democracy wants you to vote for him. Historically, fascists rose to power in no small part by being elected to office. thebarbedwire.com/2025/12/02/j...

Solidarity with Steven, and thank you for doing the work. I didn't realize he had been targeted by a bogus pizza delivery. This happened to me also. The notion that someone could impersonate the FBI to make a false DV report (or worse yet, that the local PD just fabricated it) is really disturbing.

Last Thanksgiving, two Dallas Police officers knocked on my door, citing a tip from the FBI national threat operations center that I was beating my girlfriend. The incident report confirms this. Today, I obtained a file from the FBI via FOIA that states the FBI has no record of receiving such a tip.

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.

Based on data in the web server, the most common website that users were referred to Rope Culture from (clicking a link that took them to the Rope Culture website) was Facebook.

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.

Extremely important legal analysis about what happens if the FTO designation gets applied to “antifa.” if you’re organizing against the far right, you absolutely need to read this.

MUST WATCH: He thinks Hitler may have been right, now he wants a Whites-only community in Tennessee www.newschannel5.com/news/newscha...

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.

Last week, I broke the story of how a Russian street fight promotion expanded into the US with help of neo-nazis from the Active Club network & Patriot Front. Streets Fight Club (SFC) has promoted no-rules, bare-knuckle fights on Instagram & YouTube while raising funds for Russia’s war on Ukraine.

Meta did not reply to multiple requests for comment.

Insane article from @wileydcope.bsky.social about how Active Club and Patriot Front members started the American franchise of a sketchy Russian bareknuckle boxing promotion www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Patriot Front and Active Clubs are working with a Russian fight promoter to sell pay-per-view tickets to its fight club events. The article includes previously unidentified PF/AC guys like Thomas Denton a former member of the accelerationist group the Base. 1/4 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Pro tip: if you're trying to hide the location of your latest far-right 'fight night' all the blurring and and tight shots won't help you if you host it in a place with bright orange walls (and also lie to the owner about why you're renting the place) www.bellingcat.com/news/2025/09...

I touch on this assault in my @bellingcat.com latest on their ‘fight night’ 2 weeks ago, but SoCal Active Club founder and leader Robert Wheldon is indeed one of the attackers - he kicks the man on the ground twice and strikes him with the flagpole twice before running away bsky.app/profile/acat...

Far-right fight nights are events bringing together combat fighting, extremist bands and merch, in an attempt to bring in new recruits and solidify existing relationships. @colborne.bsky.social locates the latest event for a California-based group: www.bellingcat.com/news/2025/09...
