"Supporters have rallied around #Charlotte’s #Jewish community after signs with a #swastika and #noose were found at #ShalomPark Tuesday morning.

While the images and words were upsetting, #JewishFederation of Greater Charlotte CEO #AdamKolett said he’s been comforted by the solidarity expressed by many with Charlotte’s Jewish community.

“We are grateful when public leaders and educators and law enforcement and our neighbors can stand with us in protection of religious freedoms,” Kolett said Wednesday."

Lol. Why are we always grateful for the lowest common denominator of acting like a human to Jews? We really need new institutional leaders.

“The #Noose of #BenGvir: Why Only #Israel’s #Narrative of #Annihilation is Actionable”

“Three dominant narratives contend for the future of #Gaza and occupied #Palestine, yet only one is being translated into consequential action: the Israeli narrative of #domination and #genocide. This singular, violent vision is the only one backed by the brute force of policy and fact”

"Ben Gvir wears noose lapel pin as he pushes death penalty bill for Palestinians” [ ± 1-3 min]

Quote by MEE:
“Dec 9, 2025
Israel’s far-right national security minister, Itamar Ben Gvir, wore a noose lapel pin to the parliament on Monday, as he continues to push for Palestinian prisoners to be handed the death penalty.
Ben Gvir boasted about wearing the pin, along with other members of his Otzma Yehudit party, in support of death penalty legislation currently passing through the parliament.
If enacted, it would allow judges to impose the death penalty on Palestinians convicted of killing Israelis on so-called “nationalistic” grounds.
The legislation would not apply to Israelis who kill Palestinians under similar circumstances.
The bill now requires two more readings in the Knesset before it can become an official law.“

"a state in which racialized voter suppression, mass detention and deportation, and Fascist-style population engineering schemes reshape American governance and society."

"We should not be surprised that a U.S. government entity was attempting to make nooses and swastikas more acceptable. Each expression of racism has its own history in America, but in 2025 they come together to advance the goal of creating an American ethno-state supported by ideologies of White supremacy and Christian nationalism—"

Coast Guard reverses course, calls swastikas and nooses ‘hate symbols’

The U.S. Coast Guard has released a new, firmer policy addressing the display of hate symbols like …

As per The Meidas Touch this morning, the #US #Fascist #Regime backtracked on the decision to remove the #swastika and #noose from the Coast Guard's divisive symbols policy after mass outrage.

The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika — an emblem of fascism and white supremacy inextricably linked to the murder of millions of Jews and the deaths of more than 400,000 U.S. troops who died fighting in World War II — as a hate symbol, according to a new policy that takes effect next month.

In 2007 two incidents involving #nooses within the #USCG drew national attention. That summer, a #Black cadet at the service’s officer training academy found a noose in his sea bag while aboard a #CoastGuard vessel. The next month an instructor discussing #race relations in response to the first incident reported a #noose was left in her office.

The changes to the #swastika & #noose classification were part of a broader effort by the #USCG to remove the “concept” of #hate incidents from its regulations [ ala if you don’t test for COVID, then you won’t have so many reports of infection].

…The new guidance says that if a “potentially divisive” symbol is reported, supervisors should inquire about it. After consulting their legal office they may order the symbol’s removal but there’s no further guidance requiring that it be taken down. 
The new #USCG policy also limits the amount of time that service members have to formally report the display of a #noose or #swastika — which could be enormously problematic for personnel at sea.

Right on time, the Decoherence Media folks have followed up with new IDs of several people from the nazi accelerationist "Rope Culture" server as well as some additional info on already well known people.

One is Canadian Russian Orthodox seminary grad Alexandre Jacob Duiven, who was a rather prolific online presence for a while under the alias Florian Geyer.

Another is Iron March co-moderator Danilo Totarvaj (aka Змајевит, aka "The Serb"), whose LinkedIn account says he currently works at a small video game development company.

Mikkel Hangaard (aka Natt Danelaw) wrote that he was in a band called Æresblod and "a proud member of Danskernes Parti,” an anti-immigrant party in Denmark. He's also the guy who registered the domain for the Iron March zine.

Virginia Libertarian Party member Nathan Larson also wrote to the forum looking for signatures on a petition that would allow racist mass murderer Dylann Roof to run for a seat in the US House of Representatives. (Incidentally, this is -- surprise! -- not the first nazi revelation from within the US Libertarian Party. She's scrubbed a lot of info from the web, but you may still be able to find some details about South Carolina party activist Kat Snyder, if you search.)

Travis Frey (aka "In Hoc Signo Vinces") used to be a captain at a private ICE detention center in Nevada. What's that? A nazi at the intersection of privatized incarceration and state-sponsored racism? It's all true. And he submitted an article titled "The Greater Holy War," which really fits the worst parts of the zeitgeist.

Finally, Lithuanian self-identified "National Socialist" Lukas Baltrušis Baltrušaitis (aka Teliavelis) regularly corresponded with Iron March leader Slavros and was a member of the neo-nazi group Misanthropic Division. He also helped promote Lietuvių tautinio jaunimo sąjunga (Lithuanian National Youth Union or LTJS), a far-right nationalist organization.

All of these people have extensive records of explicit racist, homophobic, antisemitic, and misogynist commentary and, obviously, by their very participation in (or administration of) the Iron March forum, they were helping to raise the temperature among some of the most violence-prone neo-nazis in Europe and North America.

There's a lot more detail in the article, and the authors did a nice job of threading it all together into a coherent narrative, so it's worth reading in full. But I wanted to put their names up here because, well, that's how it works. They're now in the "find out" stage.

Enjoy!

The folks at Decoherence Media have put together a searchable database made from previously unaddressed server info from the big Iron March leak a few years ago. This is a big deal for anyone doing research on nazi accelerationists, and they say that subsequent posts about it are going to include reports on specific neo-nazis.

If you're unfamiliar, Iron March was an online forum between 2011-2017. It's been described as "the Velvet Underground of accelerationism," which, if you don't get the reference, basically means that not many people knew about it at the time, but everyone who did went on to start some kind of notable crew of violent scumfucks. Most notoriously, it's where Atomwaffen Division first came together.

There was a major leak of Iron March data in 2019, which prompted all kinds of new research and a bunch of nazis were identified. Fun! But apparently the leak also included the entire server for the site of the Iron March in-house online zine, which (according to the authors) was never looked into before. So now they've created a searchable database out of that info. More fun!

Anyways, that's the crash course on this. The article basically reviews all of that with a lot more detail. They're promising more on specific nazis, so stay tuned. They're a new outfit I had never heard of before, but they seem to be connected with legit researchers, so stay tuned...

This article contains references to racist, antisemitic, misogynist language. Proceed at your own discretion.
