Uncovered: Identities and tactics behind the neo-Nazi “Rope Culture” web server Part II: Examination of the magazine's publication decisions, its odious commenters, and the platforms that promoted it

Yesterday we published the first of 3 articles that investigate the exposed web server for the neo-Nazi magazine Rope Culture. Today we've just published the second part, which analyzes the published articles, reader comments, and web traffic data.

This is a good sign

We’ve got it. He’s all over the place begging for more attention. Good looking out!

Decoherence Media is publishing the first article in our 3 part investigation of the leaked web server for Rope Culture, the in-house magazine of notorious Nazi forum Iron March. There are hundreds of new Nazi email addresses and comments for researchers and journalists to dig through.

screenshot of an andy ngo tweet that reads; Woke Portland city council member Candace Avalos @candaceforpdx has released a statement in support of the violent Antifa felony suspect charged with hurling a rock at a federal agent's head, seriously injuring him. Robert Hoopes' supporters have mobilized the support of the far-left on the city council, raising questions about how fit they are to serve office if they support people accused of engaging in violent insurrection against the U.S. government. Hoopes family is part of the @fgcquaker religious community and they claim he is nonviolent and peaceful. He was quickly released without bail despite the seriousness of the felony charges. instagram.com/reel/DMqmRurTu...

screenshot of a tweet from TPUSA / johnathan choe; NEW: Portland councilmember Candace Avalos is advocating for a non-profit that reports ICE agents in the community. She's also blaming the Trump administration for inciting violence during recent chaotic protests outside the ICE

Last night in Portland, Portland city council person @candaceavalos.bsky.social woke up to her car and home on fire from suspected arson. She has been a target of the far-right for months, by people like Andy Ngo, who has admitted on court record that his posts targeting people can lead to violence.

"Andy Ngo and other far right extremists have been targeting Avalos since at least as early as July and trying to paint her as violent and a 'member of Antifa.' On court record, Ngo has admitted that his social media posts can lead to violence."

It's projection from the right. All the way down.

'but you libs call everyone you don't agree with a nazi! i just see guys in black at the park!'

Paul, they're neo-Nazis. They were at the park to harass ppl and make propaganda that they then posted. That thing David is holding over his shoulder on the right = swastika flag, like Reddit told you.

Every verbal confrontation takes energy and morale from ICE.

Keep boosting videos like this so others can learn by example and do this in their own neighborhoods.

Alert Raleigh/Greensboro and in between NC: Per Reddit users, a group of ~10 neo-Nazis were leaving Umstead Park in Raleigh with a swastika flag about an hour ago. Zooming in, I see what is likely a green Vinlanders Social Club/Firm 22 patch. Probably headed to Greensboro.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

Featured in this DHS fashwave "little dark age" edit is a painting of Charlie Kirk, debuted for the MAGA crowd at the PDX ICE protests on Oct 12.

It was brought by Christian Nationalists Julie Turcol & Chris Reyes - the artist. They are deeply tied to the Proud Boys & LOKA (Leave Our Kids Alone).

The most punchable looking white dude you've ever seen standing in a full Nazi uniform in the door of a bar.

nazi arrest record showing legal name and charge for "aggregated assault"

Last night In Athens, GA, a 33 year old named Kenneth Leland Morgan was arrested for aggravated assault after dressing like a Nazi and hitting a glass over a woman's face at a bar people were forcing him out of. The only people who want to dress like Nazis for Halloween are Nazis.

PSA as per the thread below:

Situational awareness can keep us and our communities safe. Here are just a few signs/symbols that can help identify white supremacists and their loser supporters should they wander into your neck of the woods.

8/8 Next up if we have time tomorrow: Who are some of the boneheads and nazis coming to the shows? One spoiler: This kid is not AFN any longer, but Shannon Dale Coats and his son most definitely did not take advantage of deradicalization offers. bsky.app/profile/arel...

two images of Tommy Dice. One is his facebook profile where he resembles Vanilla Ice. The other is an old post on the r/Cringe subreddit, where a discussion was had about how awful Dice is.

screencap from the r/Cringe discussion about Tommy Dice. One user says, "This is fucking clown shoes." Another responds, "This IS fucking clown shoes."

7/ We believe the band listed as "The Hardcores" is referencing Tommy Dice and the Hardcores, from Boston, MA. Dice has played with these bands before, claims national socialism for his politics, and is a douchebag, so it seems like a good guess. H/t to the r/Cringe subreddit.

6/ We talked about A Killing Tradition out of Orlando, FL, earlier today. Greg Weaver--lead vocals and guitar for Flamin Anus--also recently took on drum duties for AKT, though wears a mask and calls himself Dixie Wrecked. bsky.app/profile/arel...

5/ Why do I have to type Flamin Anus again. Please help.

They're led by Greg Weaver, a Charleston, SC, white nationalist/national socialist who describes his music as "southern hate rock." arelephanteau.noblogs.org/files/2024/1...

4/ @atlantaantifa.bsky.social wrote about Haizlip and Empire Falls when they headlined Aryan Freedom Network's Aryanfest in 2024. atlantaantifa.org/2024/10/08/a...

two-images collage: one is a 2011 photo from the Empire Falls Facebook page. Bryan Haizlip stands with three other people in front of a wall with swastika and other grafiti on it. Second photo is a mugshot of Haizlip from October 2024 when he was arrested and charged with 'Obscenity; Drunk in public, profane language, intoxicated from any drug." (FTP)

3/ Bryan Russell "Scorch" Haizlip = promoter & Empire Falls lead. Haizlip has a long history in the white power movement. Registered to vote at his parents' sprawling estate in N Greensboro near Lake Brandt; he also spends time in Virginia, where he was arrested in Oct '24 for acting a fool.

2/ The show, announced in early Aug, is billed as a 30th anniversary bash for headliner/hate music band from NC, Empire Falls. The other bands on the bill: Flamin Anus out of Charleston, SC; A Killing Tradition from Orlando, FL; Tommy Dice and the Hardcores from Boston, MA; and Blitz'd.

1/ Reddit, you figured it out! 👏

Another thread, sharing a bit more of what we know now that the cat is out of the bag. We still aren't advertising the show location, but locals know. DMs are open if needed as well.

Some of these symbols require nuance. The ss bolts isn't really one of them. But some of these need to be taken in context and aren't always white power symbols. The more ya know!

5/ We usually talk about North Carolina in these parts, & these guys are in FL. This is neither our best work, nor a real unmasking since all the info is in plain view. It just feels like the time is right to put it out there in one place, for no particular reason whatsoever 😇. Also, fuck ICE.

Collage of photos of Jacob "Jake" Kovats aka Reverend Sleaze of A Killing Tradition. The collage includes an AKT instagram pic of Kovats as Reverend Sleaze and shows tattoos that match other photos taken from Facebook. As Reverend Sleaze, Kovats wears a black hood with eyes cut out and a loose pointed top in the style of Klan hoods. In one picture from Facebook, we can see that Kovats has a small Nazi SS bolts tattoo.

4/ Other hooded AKT member is "Reverend Sleaze"=Jacob Kovats of Orlando, Fl. Maybe someone knows if he is officially w/VSC, Hammerskins, etc; we don't. One can guess from his Nazi tattoos that he's fine with the sieg heils at his shows. On social media, Kovats has bn "Frankie Malma" & "Karen Rage."

image shows group of people posing outside in front of a wooden fence with a "dixie republic" sign. Some are dressed in traditional bonehead gear--boots/laces/braces. The group holds two flags: one is a red flag with a swastika on it and the other is the Vinlander Social Club flag. The image is annotated with the words, "be antifascist."

image shows a lone loser (F22/VSC dork) standing in front of the confederate monument in Person County, NC. The dork holds a flag with a swastika on it and the image, taken from the VSC telegram channel, says "support your local vinlanders." Ultimate loser picture.

3/ Not to go too far into the weeds today, but for those unaware, Vinlanders Social Club/Firm 22 is a white power "brotherhood"/gang of national socialists. They're neo-Nazi boneheads, for the most part, with tattoos, swastikas, and sieg heils to show for it. The green flag represents their club.

collage of images connecting Shaun Morris to his A Killing Tradition persona and membership in Vinlanders Social Club. One picture is a group of VSC members doing a Hitler salutes. Their faces are covered by Nazi Totenkopf images. Shaun Morris is in the middle, and his shin and ankle tattoos are visible. Other images are from Facebook and AKT shows, and have matching arm tattoos.

collage of two images; the first is from A Killing Tradition's instagram and the second shows the same image as the banner for Shaun Morris's X account.

2/ Lead AKT vocalist "Bobby Butcher" = Vinlanders Social Club member Shaun Morris of Lakeland, Florida. Photos from his band and from family members on Facebook easily confirm these connections, and his banner image is from an AKT Instagram post.

collage of two images: image 1 is A Killing Tradition's band logo with the words "be antifascist" written over it and image 2 is a picture of the band. Three of the band members are wearing ridiculous masks/head-coverings, one of which resembles a black Klan hood. From left to right, the band members are listed as Greg Weaver, Cyndi Wilhelm, Jacob Kovats, and Shaun Morris.

image shows two men outside, apparently having been practicing boxing as one of them is wearing gloves. The man in the foreground has his face digitally covered with a nazi totenkopf image. He is holding a Vinlanders Social Club "Probate" patch up for the camera. The man behind him wears a "support your local vinlanders" shirt that has nazi ss bolts in their signature green on it. The bottom of the image had been stamped with one of the VSC logos which has been crossed out. The image is further annotated, "be antifascist" and the person in the foreground is labeled as "shaun morris aka 'bobby butcher'."

1/ For no particular reason whatsoever here in NC, we'd like to highlight a couple members of A Killing Tradition, based in central Florida. Self-described as a "Shock Rock Supergroup," their shows draw crowds teeming with national socialists, racist boneheads, and other white power gang members.
