Patriot Front member designation “Hair Apparent”

“Hair Apparent” is an unofficial designation for a specific, unidentified member of Patriot Front Network 7 and the New England Active Club (previously known as the Bay State Active Club).

This dossier’s remit revolves around collecting information about “Hair Apparent” and cataloging his major activities, thus forming a foundational knowledge base composed from an antifascist perspective. It will be updated should his identity become public information in the future.

As with the other dossiers, changes since last revision will be highlighted as such. Notes and citations will be provided throughout the document in the form of links to external websites, represented by bracketed numbers. Wherein a set of brackets contains a symbol other than a number, this is meant to represent either a physical document with no online copy (such as a police report or court case), or a database that cannot/will not be cited in a specific manner (such as the social media accounts operated by known fascists). Find these corresponding citations in the “External citations” section.

BOLO bulletin

Please reach out if you have information about this specific Patriot Front member out of New England, whom I’ve dubbed “Hair Apparent”. An apparently active member since August 2024, he is likely based out of Massachusetts and/or Connecticut.

A triptych of images of Patriot Front & New England Active Club member designation "Hair Apparent". The first, taken in a park in southern CT around August 2024 and rendered in monochrome, shows a white man in his late teens to early 20s, with an athletic build, wearing black UnderArmour training shorts and a black tank top. His head has been entirely blurred, save some indications of shoulder-length dark hair around the edges of the blur. He holds a Will2Rise business card up near his face; it has been intentionally defaced with the three arrows. The first, taken in a park in Worcester MA during August 2025 and in full color, shows the same white man in what appears to be the exact same outfit, while also wearing white sneakers and boxing gloves. He is in a wild half-squatting stance as he tries not to get punched in the face by someone largely off-frame, likely to be Patriot Front member Joseph Behling of Manchester NH, to the right. Only his face has been blurred this time, with his luxuriously full and dark hair visible. As he moves to not take a punch, his hair tossed in the air, going from luxurious to comical. The third image is of the same white man, in Boston around October 2025, rendered in one of Patriot Front's relatively muted color palette but color-corrected to remove the blue cast to the image. The man stands in front of the George Robert White Monument in the Public Gardens, holding the edge of a Patriot Front flag. The fasces on the flag has been intentionally defaced to show three arrows.

While he’s most frequently active in Massachusetts, his earliest appearances in Patriot Front/Active Club material had him almost exclusively as active in Connecticut. This could mean a few different things, including that he’s moved from CT to MA for school, work, or otherwise.

It’s been a busy time in New England! I’ve been working on updates for my Patriot Front dossiers, and readying some new ones, for a long time now. I keep getting my commit dates pushed back by SHENANIGANS that result in more revisions and more updates though!

I’ll have more to say about people who shouldn’t have been in my replies on social media, and something REALLY funny happening on Telegram that necessitated more edits. Soon though! “Hair Apparent” is simply the one who required the least hassle to wrap up, so he goes to the front of the line.

A screenshot of the end of a thread on Bluesky. The penultimate message, dated February 22nd, 2025 from a user whose identity has been cropped, reads "My only reccomedation is to do more research to update your dossiers. I don't dox but you have names, just look at public records pretty much." The reply, from Sam of antifascist research outlet "By Way of Plymouth," reads "Okay. So what public records that I don't already cite should I be looking at? No local members were named in the Murrell lawsuit or the Coeur d'Alene arrests. I'm looking for specific, actionable advice, as opposed to what it FEELS like you're currently doing, which is: being a useless crank."

It’s been awhile since I’ve released an incomplete, BOLO-style dossier in the hopes something makes it back to me. Last time, it actually worked out! This new one definitely won’t be the last. With that in mind, let’s go through what I have on “Hair Apparent” here.

Patriot Front Network 7 member designation “Hair Apparent” is readily identifiable in media provided by Patriot Front and its local Active Clubs by his tendency to rock the same looks all the time, including black tanktops, Adidas trainers, and a luxurious head of dark hair.

There’s a specific photo of designation “Hair Apparent” wherein, as has been pointed out to me by others, his hair looks like a raven that has landed on his head to take a shit. Gotta agree. Pretty funny! He’s also the proud owner of a Helly-Hansen-branded rain jacket.

Helly Hansen is a brand that’s becoming increasingly popular amongst neo-Nazis, for being apparently mundane apparel with the letters “HH” (the neo-Nazi abbreviation for “heil Hitler”) on them. You can see a guy wearing one in the header of this article.

To Patriot Front member designation “Hair Apparent”: you can make a break from the movement and reclaim your life. You can be connected with resources to help you leave the cult of personality that Patriot Front has become. We’re just an email away, and hope to hear from you.

Timeline of activities

Timeline entries featuring media taken from the Patriot Front Bitchute and Telegram channels are not necessarily reflective of the date the corresponding event occurred. Turnaround for network-local pro[paganda] mat[erials] appears to be 14-45 days due to backlog and post-processing; events involving national holidays and marches through cities, on the other hand, can take as little for one day for processing. It should also be noted that releases by Active Clubs are more likely to reflect the actual date of a documented event.

[Speculative: I wonder how many neo-Nazis are into the Helly Hansen brand just because of the logo? Certainly isn’t the first time I’ve seen it in a context like this. Most Patriot Front members try to be restrained about being out-and-out neo-Nazis. This, however, seems to be a direct comment on his position: “Heil Hitler”, right there in plain sight.] [∗]
