Brandon Brooks

A triptych of images from various points in the life of Brandon Brooks, a white man with brown hair and a muscular build, of Vinalhaven ME. The first is a photo of Brooks atop a utility pole circa 2023. He is dressed in jeans a long-sleeve shirt, as well as climbing harness and climbing spikes on his boots. His arm is extended in what is conceivably a Roman salute. The second is the photo of Brooks posted by the Fox Islands Electric Cooperative circa January 2024. Brooks wears an F.I.E.C.-branded hoodie and a white hardhat, and has tucked his hands into his jeans' pockets. He smiles blankly. The third is a photo of Brooks taken by an antifascist activist in Bangor ME. Brooks, wearing khakis, a gray t-shit, and sunglasses, is walking away while turned slightly toward the cameraperson. He is grinning, holding his phone with his right hand, and flexing his left bicep.

Preamble

Brandon Brooks is an American racist, homophobe, and apparent neo-fascist. Brooks is allegedly a member of Patriot Front, and was identified by Reddit users after he was encountered by an antifascist activist on the ground in Bangor ME, while in the midst of putting up Patriot Front stickers with another possible member. [♥]

Brooks last-known residence is in Vinalhaven ME, a small island community off the coast of Rockland ME. He is previously of West Deptford NJ. [∗]

Brooks’s Patriot Front moniker is currently unknown. In various American nationalist, neo-fascist, and neo-Nazi chats on Telegram, he posts as “Risky Brisky,” a name which is an overt reference to the Jewish circumcision ritual.

ID Bulletin: Anthony M. Piccadaci, of Weymouth MA

[originally published on December 28th, 2023, 1:11PM Eastern via Twitter, 1:19PM via Bluesky, with medium-specific revisions for each]

As the New Year approaches, I’d like us to wish an early, arm’s-length birthday to Anthony M. Piccadaci of Weymouth MA. Piccadaci’s name surfaced in the #MidgardExposed leaks; this combined with a certain arrest report makes his membership in NSC-131 highly likely!

A mugshot of Anthony M. Piccadaci of Weymouth MA. He is a sickly-looking white man. His eyes are blue. His hair, brown, is long; nape-of-the-neck length and combed back. He sports a thin and uneven goatee. His skin is pocked with acne.

Charles Y. Netter

Preamble

Charles Netter is a current member of the tri-state neo-Nazi group Atlantic Nationalist Club, and a former member of the neo-Nazi Nationalist Social Club of New England. He was possibly a member of the Cut Throat AC, a Connecticut-local Active Club likely to have largely been composed of NSC members, during the latter half of 2023. He is notably aggressive, and has taken part in at least one violent assault on antifascists in Maine.

Netter is last known to reside in Stratford CT, in a home owned by his parents.

Netter operates a Telegram account as “Untermensh RGD-5,” and purportedly operates an alternate account on the same service as “Polska 966.” He likely operated an account on defunct LAN-over-Internet service Tunngle as “Polska1488.” His unofficial designation as an unidentified member of NSC-131 was “Longneck.” [Speculative: This was entirely inspired by how his particular choice in  face-concealing balaclava made him look like he had a pretty generous goiter. I was considering nicknaming him “Goiter-done,” but it didn’t test well. Also, the aliases he assumes himself seem to frequently refer to WWII-era military explosives: the M966 was another name for the M2 antipersonnel mine, and the RGD-5 was a Soviet fragmentation grenade.]

Christopher Raymond Hood, Jr.

Preamble

Christopher Raymond Hood Jr. (born September 28th, 1998) is an American white supremacist, antisemitic conspiracy theorist, self-styled community organizer, and neo-Nazi. Hood has been a member of several far-right groups ranging between the patriot militia III% to the neo-Nazi accelerationist Base before founding his own organization, the Nationalist Social Club of New England. According to Megan Squire, Hood has also had connections with the Proud Boys’ Fraternal Order of Alt-Knights and the League of the South. [1]

Hood aspires to unite nationalist crews operating out of New England under the NSC banner. This does not preclude him from entering into conflicts with other neo-Nazi, nationalist, and fascist groups, such as the Bowl Patrol, the Proud Boys, and Patriot Front. [1] [2] [3] [♣] [4]

As of June 2024, Hood has ostensibly stepped down from organizing NSC. [∗]

Hood hails from a largely Asian family. He is originally from Dorchester MA, and has lived in Malden and Pepperell MA. His currently resides in Newburyport MA. [1] [2] [3]

He currently posts to Telegram under the @crew131guy account. He posts to Twitter under his own name and photo [Speculative: c’mon guy, use a new one, weird to be insecure about aging with an absolute lack of grace when you have so many other problems], as one of a number of neo-Nazi figures previously banned from the service, who rejoined after its purchase by alleged neo-Nazi Elon Musk, a known beneficiary of South African emerald mining under apartheid. He previously operated an Instagram account as @thefuegofascist, and Twitter accounts as @BDthanRed and @ChrisThe131Guy. His Patriot Front serial number was PF-5054. [1] [‡] Continue reading “Christopher Raymond Hood, Jr.”
