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”

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.

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.”

ID Bulletin: Nicholas J. Cerce, of Woonsocket RI

[originally published on November 5th, 2023, 12:05PM Eastern via Twitter, 12:06PM via Bluesky]

If anyone has any info about Nicholas J. Cerce a/k/a “Mike RI” of Woonsocket RI, or his wife Andrea Cerce née Battaglia, (who may also be going by Nick & Andrea Duarte) please contact me. Cerce has a long neo-fascist history, and is a member of Patriot Front, serial #PF-8894!

A triptych of images of Nick Cerce, of Woonsocket RI. The first image is an image of Cerce and his wife, Andrea Battaglia, circa 2018. In an extreme close-up, Battaglia appears to be faking biting Cerce's right index finger, and Cerce appears to be faking a scream. The second image is of Cerce in a park in Hopedale MA during October 2021. He is dressed in Patriot Front colors: tan baseball cap, white balaclava, navy blue t-shirt, khakis, and black boots. He is holding a flyer and delivering a speech to other members off-screen. A short stack of bleachers sits behind him, at half his height. The third image is of Cerce in Boston Common during the Men's March of November 2023. He is dressed in a navy blue jacket with a "Bar Harbor ME" emblem on the breast, a tan baseball cap with a Betsy Ross flag patch on the front, and khakis. He leans forward against a metal barricade, which stands at a height between his elbows and shoulders.

Preamble

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]

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”
