Preamble
“Nicholas MA” is the self-admitted moniker of an unidentified neo-Nazi and Patriot Front member who is likely attending college in or around Essex County MA. In other spaces, he is alleged to be the “co-founder” of Patriot Front’s Youth Club project, answering directly to Patriot Front founder Thomas Rousseau. In this capacity, “Nick” may play an outsized role in Patriot Front’s efforts to recruit and indoctrinate teenagers.
As a member of NEYC, he maintains a level of orbit around the local Patriot Front chapter as well as the New England Active Club. Previous to his membership in NEYC, “Nick” appears to have put some effort into attempting to revive Patriot Front’s precursor, the neo-Nazi Vanguard America, in Massachusetts. He is also alleged to have been in the orbit of some incarnation of Atomwaffen Division.
“Nick” has also gone by “Bandit Legionnaire”, “MMA_Fan49”, “Pine Tree Nat XVII”, “Continental”, “Nordlicher Sieg”, “Adam Rutledge”, “Novanglus”, and “Northern Guy 131” on Telegram, where he controlled a “New England Aesthetics” channel. He also operated accounts on Twitter: @HColumbia76 as “New England Nationalist”, and @nenatxvii. He is suspected to control the @NorthEast131 Twitter account as “Northeast Antifa Watch”, and thus may also control the North East Antifa Watch Mataroa blog (itself briefly called “Northeast 131”) as part of a broader revival of the AntifaWatch project. Nick also controls the “New England Aesthetics” Telegram channel, which occasionally recirculates posts from the New England Active Club and other channels controlled by Patriot Front members.
