ID Bulletin: Ian H. Langille, of Chapman ME

[This is my contribution to the ID of Ian Henry Langille, a/k/a “Nordic Maine,” a collaboration with the Stumptown Research Collective. This version of what Stumptown eventually titled “Sam Winslow & the Vexing Vexillologist” has a little more in the way of Langille’s buffoonery and local fash history, cut from the fuller version for length. Other edits to content were suggested by Stumptown, and welcomed! Read the full ID here!]

It’s April 2023, and I’m having a hard time giving a damn about the incessant poster of a manchild I would later learn was born Ian Langille of Chapman ME.

At this early point the guy has two Telegram channels, one standard Nordic-Maine-Groyper channel (since deactivated but replaced) and one “uncensored” in flavor, both registered circa mid-January 2023. I can’t tell the difference. Both of them are largely white supremacist propaganda regurgitation channels. Buried in the cross-posts are his own occasional additions, largely involving Langille’s collection of gross white nationalist and neo-Nazi org merchandise, his (lack of) graphic design prowess, and his stickering efforts in Aroostook County.

His personal stickers are the New England Independence pine tree symbol inside the Waffen-SS shield. They also contain the URL to his personal Telegram channel. The URL is, if I recall, occasionally misspelled somehow. There’s also this image, which I originally thought was an admission that he doesn’t know how a hat is supposed to sit on a head.

Jarek L. Reihner

Preamble

Jarek L. Reihner (born July 19th, 1989) is an American white supremacist, antisemitic conspiracy theorist, U.S. Air Force veteran, and self-declared neo-Nazi. Reihner was most recently a member of Patriot Front, having likely been recruited from multi-tendency neo-fascist coalition Resist Marxism by Chris Hood. Reihner’s status as a member of other neo-Nazi groups in proximity to Hood, such as NSC-131, is currently unknown.

Reihner hails from a Polish family, and previously lived in Washington PA. He has previously lived in Waltham MA, and his last known locale of residence is Somerville MA.

Reihner posts to Instagram and a personal WordPress site under his own name, and to Tiktok as “NE Naturalist” and “New England Nat.” [Speculative: This seems like a play on “New England Nationalist,” a term frequently bandied about by members of both the local Patriot Front chapter and NSC alike.] Reihner went by the alias “Matthias Thorpe” as a member of Boston Free Speech and Resist Marxism. His Patriot Front moniker was likely “James MA,” and his serial number was PF-8190. [1] [‡]

Reihner is licensed as a math teacher under Massachusetts Department of Elementary & Secondary Education license #542123. [1]

[Speculative: I’m told it’s pronounced “REE-ner.”] Continue reading “Jarek L. Reihner”

Mark J. Hayden

Preamble

Mark J. Hayden (born November 28th, 2000) is an American white supremacist, failed musician, antisemite, misogynist, and neo-fascist. Hayden is a long-standing member of Patriot Front, and is likely a founding member of the Bay State Active Club.

Hayden is an involved and highly active member in Patriot Front, contributing to their social media presence through his “Patriotic Frontline” Gab account. Media of Patriot Front actions indicate he is physically aggressive, and willing to engage in violence against members of the public disinclined to quietly tolerate the presence of open neo-fascists.

Hayden is originally from Brockton MA. He currently resides in Spencer MA with his wife, in an apartment owned by a former member of Patriot Front. He’s also the older brother of Patriot Front member Jake Hayden, a/k/a “Victor MA.”

He produces physical stencils via 3D printer, which he sells to Patriot Front members cross-country for use in graffiti-based promat activities.

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]

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]

ID Bulletin: Robert T. Budzyna, of Auburn MA

Robert Budzyna, who allegedly attempted to commit a pair of arsons in Auburn MA on June 28th of 2019, is formerly “Peter MA” of Patriot Front, and is currently “Red Wood” who is almost certainly a member of the Nationalist Social Club of New England. Normally any good identification bulletin would come with an action item; I feel I have no responsible recommendations on how to approach that, considering Budzyna is currently being tried for his actions in Worcester County Superior Court!

In September 2022, I published a bulletin on Patriot Front members David Spellman-Oldenquist & Tyler Primevara via Twitter, and detailed a fracas between Spellman-Oldenquist and Chris Hood that stemmed from Patriot Front nonsense. If you’ve read it, you may recall me mentioning Robert Budzyna, at whose home the aforementioned fracas occurred. I recommend reviewing said bulletin! We’re gonna build off events described there.

I’ll also be making copious use of various chat leaks, especially Torch Network’s 2019-2020 Patriot Front general channel Rocketchat leaks, and some leaks of the New England Nationalists chat circa early 2022.

There will be a considerable amount of chatter concerning neo-Nazi organizer Christopher Raymond Hood Jr., teenage III%er, former Proud Boy, member then Network Directing Officer within Patriot Front before his expulsion from said organization, member of the New England cell of the Base, and founding member of the Nationalist Social Club of New England, NSC-131 for short.

While I’ll be citing a number of sources running the gamut from courts to journalists to antifascist researchers, I’ll also be speculating thoroughly throughout, particularly when I’ve questioned how responsibly or capably I can pursue a line of inquiry and left it incomplete as a result. I hope that I’ve written well enough to differentiate between reality and my own meanderings.

Finally, be advised: content warnings for antisemitism, racism, misogyny, and other nonsense you’d expect from a bunch of neo-Nazis, as well as at least one mention of self-harm. Continue reading “ID Bulletin: Robert T. Budzyna, of Auburn MA”
