The Background
Thanks to an anonymous online leak of data and materials from influential Neo-Nazi website Iron March where the white supremacist terror groups Atomwaffen Division, Vanguard America, and National Action (among many others) formed, we were gifted with a trove of identifying information about Iron March users. Iron March forums was an internet chat room dedicated to the proliferation of anti-Semitic, racist, Islamophobic, homophobic rhetoric and actions. Members of the forum expressed sympathy toward Norwegian terrorist Anders Breivik and the Charleston church shooter Dylann Roof, as well as the ’60s cult leader & murderer Charles Manson.
The released information includes a full copy of the Iron March content including usernames, users’ posts and links, along with sensitive details such as the email and IP addresses used to register usernames, plus private messages. All of that data, including the information shared in the private messages which include personal details are the framework which we use to identify users. The raw data is available for download and it was built into a searchable and more accessible website by Jewish Worker.
The Trace
Iron March user “22goy”, who was active on the Iron March, has been identified as Thomas Adam Guba – a member of the Navy in the Medical Logistics command who is currently residing in Baltimore, Maryland.
From his user profile page, we see that the email he entered to create his account on the fascist forum is ‘tguba2004@hotmail.com’
On the forum, Thomas discusses with another user on Iron March ‘Niezgoda’ (another member of the armed forces who was involved in arms trafficking) about being in the Navy [source]. He additionally tells us that he was an aviation mechanic. He calls his fellow members of the armed forces racial slurs and hopes that they can all be “blasted back to allah, jews and all.” Finally, he tells us that he hangs out on the infamous Neo-Nazi Daily Stormer website created by Andrew Anglin.
22goy’s IP address also points to Baltimore, Maryland.
The location, occupation information, and email point to exactly one suspect: Thomas Adam Guba of Baltimore, Maryland. Using a publicly available database, we check the owner of tguba2004@hotmail and to no one’s surprise, it’s Thomas:
The Confirmation
Thomas Guba worked for the Navy, is currently residing in Baltimore, and is now working as a global logistics specialist for the Samuel Shapiro & Company, Inc. He previously worked in the U.S. Navy, including as an Aviation Structural Mechanic [source, archive]:
He is even spotted in the Naval Medical Logistics Command journal Logistically Speaking in a October-December 2017 issue, shortly after going inactive on Iron March [source].
Thomas’ vitriolic hatred and commitment to fascism is clear. He joined the fascist Iron March forum and talks about hoping for the deaths of people of color and Jews. [Content warning: slurs and intense hatred for women, gays, Jews, people of color].
Please contact Thomas’ employer, Schapiro Co and ask them if Thomas’s white nationalism tarnishes the Shapiro legacy of the rare combination of financial responsibility, integrity and generosity. For example, founder Samuel Shapiro still gave more than 20% of his profit to the American Jewish Relief Fund.
How would Samuel’s daughter and current CEO Maggie Shapiro feel about this neo-nazi lurking in their workforce, plotting the demise of fellow Jews? You can ask Shapiro themselves about them whether they know about Thomas’ appalling views. The company’s method’s of contact are below:
