Essays in Radicalization & Deradicalization authored by former white nationalists

In our extensive history of outing fascists, we realize most are everyday people, radicalized online. Most have children, family members, co-workers, employees, lovers, or friends who are disgusted and disappointed that this person in their life is actively organizing for genocide against people who don’t look like them. Our tagline at the bottom of each article remains the same:

“If you have any information about xxx, other fascists on Iron March or other white nationalists in general, including additional tips, please send them to panicinthediscord (at) riseup (dot) net or DM them to @discord__panic on Twitter”

Landing on our twitter, the sentiment in our pinned tweet has held for months:

As anarchists, we don’t believe people are disposable. We want to help create a pathway for folks to get out of white nationalism as cleanly and quickly as possible. Sometimes that happens on the heels of a dossier, while other times it happens beforehand, when a person realizes the internal communications of a hate group of which they previously or currently belonged has leaked or when they have long since left an official movement. In recent months alone, there has been quite a few ex-Iron March and  Identity Evropa/American Identity Movement members who have reached out to us, looking to publicly renounce their involvement in order to move forward with their lives in a healthy, productive way.
To that end, we’re pleased to compile and re-publish statements former white nationalists have written for us as a part of their healing and coming to terms with their past. Please read on!

Neo-Nazi Iron March users  “Ozymandias” and “Turok”  have both been linked to one man, Van Ramsey Laws-Spencer, an active duty marine currently stationed in Camp Pendleton, California.



User Ozymandias has the email “pentaghast123@gmail.com” linked to the account. We were able to find several social media profiles operated by Van using the “pentaghast123” username, his Pinterest being just one of them [source, archive].
User Turok signed up with an email that includes Van’s name in it.


Do note that both user accounts were not operating at the same time, but rather Turok was active between August and October of 2012, while Ozymandias was active from October of 2013 to April of 2016. This comes after Van left the forums after having a heated debate where he defended gay people on the forum [source]. He rejoined the forums a little less than a year later.

User Ozymandias also posts Van’s Skype username as a form of contact to another user infamous Iron March user, Blood and Iron [source].

Ozymandias also acknowledges that he is a biracial man (Mexican and White) and that this conflicts with his religious ideals [source].

ATTN Appleton, Green Bay, & Oshkosh WI dating public: Lawrence U student Dominick Stanley, outed as #IronMarch fascist “Auggie Bo-Dizzle” from Huntington NY

This identification was made possible by @CentralOregona1 on Twitter.

12/2020 update
Swipe left on Dominick Stanley, a contributor to Daily Stormer (yes, that vitriolic hellsite of far-right neo-Nazi, white supremacist, misogynist, and Holocaust denial commentary and message boards) as he cruises the Lawrence University/Appleton, Oshkosh & Green Bay, WI dating scene. Rumor has it that this Huntington Public School (in NY) graduate was suspended for his harassment of students whom he believed to be Jewish. On an online organizing forum for white nationalists, he left a breadcrumb trail which identified him as the person who wrote The Wunder Years series, including the piece he named “Jews Go Up the Chimney.”
What’s even more troubling is on Dominick’s current Tinder profile, the white supremacist is explicitly seeking to match with people of color. We urge everyone in the area to be extra careful, to read/share this dossier, and to stay away from this EDU major and competitive fencer. Antifascism is community defense!

The Trace

As previously mentioned when the Iron March database leaked, antifascists across the country got to work identifying them. First, we observe Dominick’s Iron March profile [source].

Source:

The info that user “Auggie Bo-Dizzle” entered to create a profile on the explicitly fascist forum includes an email “dominick.k.stanley@gmail.com”. He also links to two blogs he wrote for: marxistdegeneracy.wordpress.com & jewyorknews.wordpress.com
and a now suspended Twitter account at @Fash_America. He also tells us that he spent time on the infamous Daily Stormer  website under the username “DeShawn.ShekelBerg”
and that his IP address was 24.46.247.10, which traces to somewhere near Huntington, NY” [source]

He additionally tells us in a post that he is in the 10th grade in 2016, when he is posting on Iron March [source], which likely means that he was 15 or 16 at the time. Given this, that would make him 19 or 20 years old as of February 2020.

Dominick K. Stanley was the Huntington (New York) Public School’s class president of 2019 and is currently a student at Lawrence University in Appleton, WI.

Meet Jack Michael Espinoza aka “Black Israelite” Leader of Michigan Atomwaffen Division

This article was created with the help & support of comrades near & far. Thanks for all you do!

The Atomwaffen Division leader of Michigan – a user on Iron March known as “Black Israelite” has been identified as none other than Jack Espinoza of West Bloomfield, Michigan.

The Trace
Jack was a member of the fascist Iron March forums from November of 2016 to August of 2017, just before Iron March was pulled from the web. We noticed that Jack registered on the forum with the e-mail jackeboy2000@gmail and that his IP address traced to Garden City, Michigan. The ‘2000’ at the end of his e-mail username likely correlates to his birth year, given the years that he was active and that he later on mentions that he is young.

We quickly were able to find his Instagram[source, archive]. The account follows several accounts belonging to users in the Detroit area and includes several Garden City High School students. The name on the account belonged to a “Jack Espinoza”.


From there, we were quickly able to find a yearbook from Garden City High School and found a Jack Espinoza that attended.


On the forum, “Black Israelite” says he is from West Bloomfield [source] which is 33 minutes from
Garden City. Jack indeed does reside with his family in West Bloomfield, Michigan [redacted info].
