Thanks for your early and critical research on these characters in 2019 and 2020. My reporting on this topic is indebted to too many researchers and sources to mention everyone by name. Yours certainly provided an important building block. And I know you've experienced your share of harassment.

This is one of the core reasons I had to stop posting research about the accelerationist Nazi movement.

One of these Nazis on Jordan's lawn is someone I originally made the ID on.

Another is a terrorist who I interacted with regularly & directly on Telegram.

These are sadistic aspiring murderers.

One bit that didn't make it into the article: the false allegations that were made against me that resulted in me being swatted originated from someone who was impersonating the FBI national tip line, and the Dallas Police have not taken that seriously.
