Zachary Pickering

[originally published on December 4, 2022, 1:22PM Eastern]

If anyone has any further information on the whereabouts or occupation of known Proud Boy Zachary Pickering of Cranston RI, please reach out!

Zachary Pickering of Cranston RI was identified in November 2020 by @AntifashGordon, who revealed that Pickering’s combination of siege mask and red bucket hat makes for the dorkiest chud look imaginable

We’ve been wondering where Pickering has been since 2021, when he and his friend and NSC member Chase Gilroy put up a bunch of stickers in Bristol & Warren RI during the same night in April of that year

Gilroy was Patriot Front at the time, and he was doing what PF members do best: get pinched by local cops for slapping PF stickers everywhere

We note that Warwick RI, the city where Gilroy is from, was recently the site for a series of antisemitic flyerings

Pickering turned himself in to the Warren courthouse over his Klan and white pride stickers not long after Gilroy was charged in Bristol

Zachary Pickering of Cranston RI was most recently spotted failing to disrupt a DQSH in Fall River MA last month, in the company of Resist Marxism/SHFA chump John Medlar. Pickering’s in @RodWebber’s third photo here:

(Big kudos to @RodWebber not only for documenting, but for putting himself between the chuds and the event, doing so EFFECTIVELY, and cooperating with event organizers, we love to see it)

We know this is Pickering because he forgot to cover his tattoos again! Whoops

The fluffy undercut’s a great choice, very visually distinct, especially in comparison to that HAT

It’s interesting that Medlar and Pickering, both Proud Boys, weren’t wearing their colors while out and about in Fall River MA. Think it might have something to do with leadership catching charges over J6?

We certainly believe Pickering cleaves closely enough to antisemitism from his Snapchat Tim-Pool-ass-lookin’ profile alone. The twin lightning bolts are a neo-Nazi dogwhistle, in light of all the other known info on him

In conclusion, Zachary Pickering of Cranston RI is likely STILL a member of the violent and neo-fascist Proud Boys. Stay tuned, because he’s not the only one

Solidarity to the comrades who keep each other safe!

Some updates and a call to action. Stephen Thomas Farrea of Portsmouth RI, current member of NSC-131, claims to work at a Cargill meat processing facility. It’s likely the one in the town he happens to live in, which can be reached at (401) 372-9300. Give ’em a ring!

Side profile & right shoulder tattoo

Farrea was previously doxxed as a member of now-defunct Identity Evropa by @AntiFashGordon in 2019.

Back then, Farrea was a logistics specialist for a DoD contractor, a far cry from his current work in the grueling meat packing industry.

Farrea was one of the NSC members present in East Providence on June 21st ’22, along with Austin Conti, Cody Baker, Jason Lowe, and Tyler Moody. So far Conti and Baker have been getting the most attention around here. Only fair Farrea gets some!

NSC has showed up at two Boston-local DQSH events hosted by @PattyBourree: one at the Loring-Greenough House on July 23rd, and another at the Seaport Paseo on August 7th. They weren’t welcome then, and they will continue to not be welcome. It seems well past time to remind them.

EDITOR’S NOTE – JANUARY 8TH, 2023: Shortly after this post was published, representatives at Cargill claimed that Farrea was no longer employed at their plant.

Kevin A. Cottle

[originally published on February 25, 2022, 5:40AM Eastern]

Let’s meet an old-time Nazi, recent Nationalist Socialist Club (NSC) member, and forever neckbeard, Kevin Cottle!

You can learn more about NSC and the threat they pose to our communities from the links below:

https://wgbh.org/news/local-news/2022/02/02/neo-nazis-target-anti-racist-doctors-at-brigham-and-womens-hospital-calling-them-anti-white

Kevin goes by “Kurt Meyer” on Telegram, a subtle white supremacist reference to an SS Commander.

Kevin has been in the racist chud game for awhile now. He was even previously doxxed by the Southern Poverty Law Center back when he was a member of the Traditionalist Workers Party (TWP).

Kevin helped organize security for the Charlottesville rally that led to the death of Heather Heyer back in 2017. In leaked Discord organizing chats, he went by “HueTheHand”, and discussed what tactical gear to bring to the rally. Here he is showing off his weapon back in 2017…

…and loving up on Hitler.

And here he is continuing his trend of not shaving his goddamn neckbeard.

Kevin has been trying to get his fellow NSC members to join his new business endeavor, a farm called Wolf-Hook Solutions. Feel free to give them a call, shoot them an email, or maybe just let the Zuck know that there is a fashy farm on Facebook.

Kevin was not difficult to find. Not only was he previously doxxed, but his Facebooks were not exactly covert.

There are endless cross-posts between “Kurt Meyer,” Kevin Cottle, and Wolf-Hook Solutions. Here are just two – same army photo:

from the Facebook gallery of “Kurt Meyer”

from Cottle’s Facebook gallery

…and same picture of meat:

from the Facebook gallery of “Wolf-Hook Solutions LLC,” Cottle’s company

from the Facebook gallery of “Kurt Meyer”

Currently we are not aware of Kevin Cottle’s employer, so any leads would be appreciated. We’d like them to know that the unconscious bias training he passed is not working, and that the only things he is fostering are dangerous Nazi ideologies and an appetite for neckbeard.

To summarize, Kevin Cottle is a longtime Nazi and new NSC member based in Rhode Island. He was an organizer for the Charlottesville Unite the Right Rally that led to the death of Heather Heyer, has a history of weapon ownership, and holds Nazi ideologies. He is a threat to communities in New England. Let’s let Kevin know that fascism has no place in New England.

Liam E. MacNeil

[originally published on June 8, 2021, 7:51PM Eastern]

In March, @AntifaGarfield identified violent neo-nazi of NSC-131/possible Capitol rioter Liam MacNeil of Waltham, MA, aka Amerikan Werewolf, as a student at @UMassLowell.

He’s still there, so call the UML Director of Student Conduct & Prevention at 978-934-5328 to let them know!

You can read @AntifaGarfield‘s original dox below. Please note in particular MacNeil’s history of martial arts training, multiple instances of vandalism across New England, and of course that graphic design is his passion.

Anti-racist Redditors in Liam’s hometown of Waltham are concerned he has so far avoided consequences for his fascist views, saying “people who went to WHS with Liam commented that everyone knew he was a racist but adults did not take it seriously.

(You can insert the obvious joke about the concept of “anti-racist Redditors” here)

In these clips from an NSC Telegram livestream, archived by @waltham_s, Liam (the one in the same frame as Chris Hood) brags about the lack of consequences following his doxxing.

NSC-131 started publicly asserting themselves around Boston last summer, as documented here by @Danny__McDonald in the @BostonGlobe (featuring the expertise of @PRAEyesRight’s @benlorber8)

NSC, and Liam specifically, has bragged about attending the Capitol riot in DC. The FBI has apparently not followed up. @BMakuch reported on this in @ViceNews in March:

Again, please let UML know that they have a student who is a neo-nazi organizer and Capitol rioter. If you cannot make a call – or want more numbers to call! – please email or call the STUDENT conduct reporting channels listed here.

EDITOR’S NOTES – JANUARY 8TH, 2023: According to Phillip Martin of WGBH MacNeil dropped out of UMass-Lowell due to social pressure sometime before May 2022, and is currently living out of his parents’ home in Waltham MA.

David L. Steinhof

[originally published on October 28th, 2021, 9:01AM Eastern]

Hello Boston! Over the next few days, we’ll be introducing you to some of the organizers from CORR, the chuds rallying with SHFA on 11/7.

Let’s start with the most public one, founder David Steinhof, who Boston Solidarity Against Hate introduced y’all to yesterday:

David Steinhof is a failed politican who ran as the Republican candidate for the Bristol County MA House of Representatives and lost in 2014 and 2018.

He owns a dental practice in Fall River, MA, where a large portion of CORR organizing occurs, which the CORR organizers call “Valley Forge” (sigh) on their Telegram (Freedomlovingpatriot4life).

David also has a history of domestic violence, as summarized on the New England White Supremacists profile on him here.

Highlights include (CW: domestic violence, animal abuse):

-beating the family’s dogs with his fists “multiple times”
-throwing the cats across the room in front of his wife, their children and his staff
-throwing his wife against a kitchen counter and slamming her into a door

According to court records, Steinhof’s wife says he has punched through doors and walls at his home and office, and repeatedly assaulted her, on one occasion ripping out her earrings. She also said he punched and shattered the windshield of a car.

Steinhof and his group have been working with SHFA for several months. Here are him and his ugly hat with John Hugo and his ugly hat at the “Refounding Fathers Festival” in July:

And here is SHFA member and Capitol coup attempt participant Sue Ianni giving a talk at the CORR-organized “Freedomfest” in September. David Steinof and his ugly hat are circled in red. You can also see Hugo and his ugly hat on the left.

More on Sue Ianni, embarrassment to the fine town of Natick, MA, can be found here at Metrowest Daily News.

At both of SHFA’s summer events, CORR provided security. Some security members wore CORR shirts, as shown here. Other members were more normcore. More info on normcore can be found at http://gap.com.

CORR is also organizing in Rhode Island in addition to in our Commonwealth. Here is the flyer for their planned “Freedom March” in Pawtucket on Nov. 1, which illustrates both that graphic design is their passion and that they totally know what “without representation” means.

Between now and their “Rise Against Tyranny” rally on the 7th, we’ll be introducing you to some of their other organizers, and sadly, to more of their eye-bleeding and grammatically challenged graphics.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to clear your calendar for November 7, grab a mask and something to make noise with, and attend Boston Solidarity AgainsT Hate’s counterprotest. Details at http://bit.ly/MaskUpNov7

Chris Bartley

[originally published on June 26, 2020, 10:30AM Eastern]

Looks like Chris Bartley’s planning his grand re-entry to the Boston fash scene at Super Happy Fun America’s “Restore Sanity” rally on Saturday.

Let’s refresh our memories about why he sucks, and then we’ll make sure he feels very unwelcome this weekend.

Way back in the day (meaning in 2017), Bartley used to run with “Anticom,” the right-wing ripoff of “antifa,” which organizes* against communists.** Unicorn Riot has more here.

*organizes = fantasizes about killing
**communists = anyone left of Ronald Reagan

Boston Anticom’s biggest moment was when Bartley, along with former New England Patriot Front leader Chris Hood & unremarkable Anticom-turned-PF goon Matthias Thorpe, crashed Mark Bray’s event at the Harvard Coop, & Thorpe abjectly lost the fight he picked.

We’ve posted a bit on both Hood and Thorpe before, because they were part of the same Patriot Front crew that Noah Bogosh ran with, until Hood broke up the family by embezzling. Thread on them both here:

At the same time he was involved with “Anticom,” Bartley was also VP of the UMass Boston chapter of TPUSA, Charlie Kirk’s laughingstock of an astroturf organization. Here we see student-era Bartley posing with Resist Marxism founder Kyle “Based Stickman” Chapman.

Bartley was a regular at Resist Marxism’s events for about two years. Here he is at their violent disruption of the 2019 Women’s March, looking like the Michelin Man in a gray puff coat:

He definitely wasn’t there at random. You can spot him behind the Trump flag in this lineup, standing next to Michael Moura. Other notables in this photo include Mark Sahady (2nd from left), John Camden (in the middle, helmet), and Brandon Navom (right of Camden).

Also pictured: Bruce Burleson (far left), Mark Sahady (to the right of Burleson), Dan Gilby of the Patriot Saints (squatting to the left, helmet and III% patch), Michael Moura (second to Sahady’s direct right, red baseball cap and shades), Patrick Soutter (high center, behind Bartley), George Avery of American Guard RI (standing, center, to the right of Bartley), John Camden of American Guard NH (standing to the right of Avery, wearing a helmet and making the OK sign), Luke Ballesteros of AntiCom (squatting in the center, unmasked, below Avery), and Brandon Navom (standing to the right of Camden, beard, unmasked). The photo itself was likely taken by Grace Cook.

You can read more about that day here:

We threaded on Mike Moura (4th from left, red hat, douchey grin, standing right next to Bartley like they’re buddies) back on his birthday, because he is an abusive piece of shit.

On a lighter note, the hideous gray coat also made an appearance at the Berklee debate debacle (debatcle?) in December 2018. You can see Bartley chatting with some PF guys, even though Mark Sahady’s big dumb face blocks most of the shot.

There is no full documentation of just what a hilarious comedy of errors this “debate” was, but there’s a good summary in this article from Boston Solidarity Against Hate.

Bartley was last seen in the world of Boston fash organizing as the first “gay ambassador” to the Straight Pride Parade, about a year ago, when Resist Marxism rebranded into Super Happy Fun America. He was… not real good at his job.

Bartley dropped out about two months before the parade went off, to be replaced by Anthony Tamagna, and has spent most of the past year doing… well, we don’t really know, he wasn’t openly fashing so we left him alone! That’s the deal.

But now he is starting up with the fashing again, which brings us to Saturday, and Super Happy Fun America’s anti-BlackLivesMatter rally. Boston Solidarity Against Hate is hosting the counterdemo — will you be there to yell at Chris to fuck off back home?

Anthony G. Petruccelli

[originally published February 28, 2020, 2:56PM Eastern]

We talked a bit about Straight Pride t-shirt salesnazi Anthony Petruccelli back in November, but that thread was mostly about dunking on Mike Moura

Today, let’s get to know Petro, aka SS Belt Buckle Man, aka Tony Elbows, a little bit better.

We bet no one actually calls him “The Stallion.”

Petro seems to be his preferred nickname. I call him Tony Elbows due to his, uh, distinct typing style, which Doxxer Frankenstein once described as looking like he types with his elbows.

For a while there, we were calling him “SS Belt Buckle Man,” because “posing like a dork with a gun man” wouldn’t have been specific enough:

Though he is a committed Lynn townie, Petro does get out and about on occasion.

For instance, he was part of the National Socialist Movement’s contingent that disrupted Motor City Pride last summer:

He also got out to Theodore Yunker’s “Hitler Museum” in Elkhart, Wisconsin, and claims to have acted as security for Yunker at an NSM event:

And, as we established in our Moura thread, he also kicks around the rest of New England to mentor terrible young neo-Nazi accelerationists in The Base.

So what has Mike been up to in the months since he got sacked? Let’s take a look.

For starters, he’s been spending some time hanging out with the fine folks from Patriot Front and the National Socialist Movement. That’s Moura on the right.

— Green Monster Antifa, “Michael R. Moura,” originally published November 19th, 2019

The Base has recently seen a member arrested in Wisconsin for vandalizing a synagogue, and three members arrested for plotting two murders in Georgia.

Elbows was big mad about us posting about his Base ties.

He also, as was also previously noted, came into Boston for Straight Pride, where he and fellow NSM member Sarah Flynn sold t-shirts on behalf of Super Happy Fun America.

Sarah Flynn (right) is best known for dumb stunts like going to the mall in full Nazi regalia and pretending to be oppressed when restaurants don’t want to serve her.

You can read more about her Providence appearance here.

Now, we enjoy having some laughs at the NSM’s expense, because these people are fuckin’ goofy. But we shouldn’t lose sight of the fact that Petruccelli is an actual swastika Nazi with a lot of guns, even if he doesn’t look nearly as cool with them as he thinks he does.

Seriously, we could post poorly spelled racist shit from his now-defunct Vkontakte page all day, but we’ll spare your eyeballs.

We can’t emphasize enough how connected these Nazis are to Super Happy Fun America. They carried SHFA’s official banner at the Straight Pride Parade. They sold the official t-shirts for them.

Swastikas don’t really fly in the United States. American fascism requires a cover, distancing itself from the anti-American swastika, but still embodying the values of hate and violence. Super Happy Fun America provides that mask, but the Nazis are still there.

SHFA organizer Samson Racioppi has been all over this here website scrambling to distance himself from Petruccelli and Flynn, by pretending it’s hard to notice literal swastika-tatted NSM members at SHFA’s tiny-ass rallies.

This is because Samson is an oblivious dolt who doesn’t understand his own movement and still thinks he’s a libertarian. Groups like SHFA have little formal membership so they can maintain plausible deniability about the fash they knowingly, deliberately attract to their actions.

Here we see Samson claiming Boston Free Speech, Resist Marxism, and Super Happy Fun America are “completely separate entities,” which is just laughable. (We also see him offering to fight Rod Webber, which is also funny but for different reasons.)

Since Samson pinky-swears that Petruccelli and Flynn won’t be at any more SHFA actions despite SHFA’s claimed inability to vet attendees, today we will not be reminding you that Samson attends Boston’s New England Law, and has reportedly been harassing queer students there. 😇

Instead we suggest calling SHFA organizer John Hugo’s employer and asking them if they’re real real sure that their “we don’t care what our employees do in their spare time” policy should really extend to organizing hate rallies and hanging out with this guy:

Here’s his manager’s line and a nice little thread on Hugo from @antifashgordon, in case you need a refresher on how entangled all these folks are with each other, despite their wide-eyed protestations:

Anyway, if you see Petro kicking around Lynn or anywhere else, tell him he’s a fucking dork.

EDITOR’S NOTES – JANUARY 5TH, 2023: Petruccelli was arrested for assault & battery with a dangerous weapon in Lynn MA on August 10th, 2021, for which he served some amount of time. If Petruccelli’s own social media posts are to be believed, some time after his release for that crime he fled to Florida.

Both Hugo and Racioppi have run for various positions in office. Hugo attempted to run for the U.S. House of Representatives in 2018, and Racioppi attempted to run for the Massachusetts House of Representatives in 2022. Both lost.

Michael R. Moura

[originally published on November 19, 2019, 12:05PM Eastern]

Unhappy birthday to Michael Moura, who is turning 26 years old today in the custody of the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office.

I’ll be documenting his ties to The Base, Patriot Front, and the NSM, and the Straight Pride Parade’s ties to those orgs, too.

Eat shit, Mike! 🥳🎂🔒

You might remember Mike from when AntiFashGordon doxxed him this summer in the leadup to the Straight Pride Parade, and we all got his ass fired from Kohl’s. Good times.

So what has Mike been up to in the months since he got sacked? Let’s take a look.

For starters, he’s been spending some time hanging out with the fine folks from Patriot Front and the National Socialist Movement. That’s Moura on the right.

From left to right: Sarah Flynn, Cameron Anthony (deceased), an unknown NSM member, Anthony Petruccelli, and Michael Moura.

The above photo was taken at this Patriot Front banner drop in Hartford, Connecticut in early October. You can read more about Patriot Front and Moura’s ties to them in AntiFashGordon’s thread linked above.

A propaganda photo of a Patriot Front banner drop somewhere in Hartford CT, dated October 3rd 2019.

The group photo also features Sarah Flynn (left, red shirt) and Anthony Petruccelli (2nd right, arm around Moura), both of the National Socialist Movement.

Petruccelli also has ties to neo-Nazi group The Base. The Base is best known for running “hate camps” and vandalizing synagogues. You can read more about them in this piece by the Daily Beast.

Flynn and Petruccelli were also the official t-shirt salesnazis at the Boston Straight Pride Parade on August 31, 2019.

Holding the “Buy T-Shirts Here” banner in the left of this photo: on the left is Sarah Flynn, and on the right is Anthony Petruccelli.

Which brings us to this hilarious exchange with Moura’s former fellow Resist Marxism colleague and Straight Pride organizer Samson Racioppi:

Mike and Samson have been beefing for a while now, and not just over Samson’s chronic inability to notice Nazis in his immediate vicinity. Mike keeps fedjacketing Samson; Samson keeps bringing up Mike’s escalating legal troubles.

On October 6, we got the news that Mike had been arraigned on a charge of Criminal Harassment regarding “a series of incidents involving a woman he met at a Resist Marxism rally.”

He was released on personal recognizance and spent another month or so doing dumb fashy things, like crashing @RodWebber’s documentary screening with Patrick Soutter.

On Friday, November 8, however, he was taken into custody, where he is now facing 34 charges of felony Criminal Harassment.

(If you are surprised to hear that this misogynistic neo-Nazi is also a domestic abuser, please raise your hand and slap yourself with it.)

Moura being his most authentic self

Predictably, other terrible men have leapt to Moura’s defense. Patriot Saints President Chad Hidler (yes, that’s his real name) has started a legal defense fund for Moura, featuring the kind of evasive language terrible men often use when discussing the things terrible men do.

The Patriots Saints were supposed to do security for the Straight Pride Parade, but dropped out after AntiFashGordon published this thread on Chadler:

More importantly, Hidler claims Moura is now represented by Holocaust denier Augustus Invictus, who also represents members of the neo-Nazi terror group Atomwaffen Division, which has been linked to several murders.

More can be read on Atomwaffen here, on an archived page from Nate Thayer’s website.

Augustus Invictus, real name Austin Gillespie, was a headline speaker at the deadly Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, VA in 2017, where James Alex Fields ran his car into a crowd of protesters, killing Heather Heyer. Here’s an SPLC piece on him.

Here’s more on Invictus from his failed Senate run from the ABA Journal, if you want it, because he’s a really weird guy and we’re embarrassed that he was admitted to the bar in Massachusetts:

So these are Moura’s friends: Patriot Front, the Patriot Saints, the National Socialist Movement, the Base, Atomwaffen’s lawyer—a rogue’s gallery of right-wing paramilitaries and wannabe-paramilitaries, all in support of Moura’s “right” as a white guy to commit domestic violence.

Anyway, we think it’s ironic that Mike is in jail given his weird obsession with tweeting about going to jail, and we hope he stays out of our community for at least as long as he’s been making bad tweets.

Solidarity to all the incarcerated people who have to deal with Mike’s Nazi bullshit while he’s locked up with them, though.

EDITOR’S NOTES – JANUARY 5TH, 2023: Moura was arrested for illegal possession of firearms on April 28th, 2021. He pled guilty on June 13th, 2022, and was sentenced to 37 months in prison with three years of supervised release on November 16th of the same year. At the time of this writing, he’s currently incarcerated at FCI Otisville in New York, and is scheduled to be released on December 13th, 2023.

Nate Thayer, whom we cited for his research on Atomwaffen Division, passed on January 3rd, 2023, according to the Associated Press. Rod Webber, a friend of Nate’s, published an obituary on Nate’s Substack. He was a good comrade, and he will be missed.
