Garrett M. Berna

Preamble

Garrett Michael Berna (born June 20th, 1986) is a mental health counselor and American member of both Patriot Front Network 7 and the New England Active Club (previously the Bay State Active Club).

Berna appears to have become a member of Patriot Front during a lapse of NW7’s online presence, a lapse which occurred after the assault of Charles Murrell III by Patriot Front members in Boston MA during June 2022. However, his earliest known appearances include him traveling to other regions where Patriot Front has active chapters, as well as interacting with Active Clubs that either reside in those regions or have travelled to New England.

Berna is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor under the Massachusetts Office of Health and Human Services (license #LMHC10304). To date, he has no compliance actions against his record. [1] Berna claims he specializes in working with athletes, children, and adolescents. Berna offers telehealth sessions Monday through Friday, but also works out of an office in Newton MA during Thursdays. Newton MA is a city known to have the largest Jewish community in the state. [2] [3] [4]

Berna currently resides in West Brookfield MA with his wife and child, in a home he owns.

His unofficial designation as a member of Patriot Front is “WatchChump”.

New England Youth Club member “Nicholas MA”

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.

Joseph Behling

Preamble

Joseph William Behling (born December 4th, 2002) is an American Christian nationalist, possible serviceman in the United States Navy, and neo-fascist. He is also a member of Patriot Front Network 7 and the New England Active Club, previously known as the Bay State Active Club.

Behling’s current legal address is in Manchester NH; his account on Telegram has been linked to this address via a cat video he posted on a neo-Nazi silver-collection channel. He has previously lived in Hooksett NH as well as elsewhere in Manchester.

His Patriot Front moniker is alleged to be “Marcus NH.” He has also gone by the handles “NH Nationalist,” “Agrippa,” and “turk.bob” in online spaces, and may have gone by “603 Nationalist” on Twitter.

[Speculative: Apparently it’s pronounced the same as the word “bailing”.]

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”

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.

Beilman is a member of Patriot Front, last known to function as the Network Scribe for Network 7.

Beilman is a highly active member of Patriot Front, taking a part in organizing activities both local and national, and wrangling members into engagement. He produces physical stencils via 3D printer, which he sells to Patriot Front members cross-country for use in graffiti-based promat activities. Beilman has been arrested repeatedly while committing propaganda material events for Patriot Front.

Beilman’s current legal address is in Meriden CT, and he has previously lived in Wallingford CT.

As of September 2023, Beilman’s preferred vehicle is reportedly a 2012 Kia Sedona in electric blue, CT plates BK33398. [♥] He previously drove a 2007 Honda Odyssey in that same color, CT plates BE14383. [♠].
