Chicago Antifascist Action

Discord user “Gaius Mucius Scaevola” (click here to read all of his posts), who appears on Identity Evropa’s Nice Respectable People Server that was leaked in March by Unicorn Riot, has been identified as none other than Steven Scheele of DeKalb, Illinois.

Identity Evropa, a Neo-Nazi organization, is most infamous for its involvement in the deadly Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, where antifascist Heather Heyer was killed by James Alex Fields Jr. Identity Evropa’s former leader, Nathan Damigo, is infamous for assaulting both a femme antifascist protester as well as an Arab cab driver in an armed robbery, where he pulled a loaded gun in the face of an innocent man for “looking Iraqi“. They also have within their former membership an attempted Amtrak hijacker Taylor Wilson, and the fascist Nolan Brewer that tried setting a synagogue in Carmel, Indiana on fire. After the Unicorn Riot leaks dropped in March, Identity Evropa scrambled to re-brand as the American Identity Movement.

Let’s dig right into Steven’s posts as “Gaius”, explain his strategy, and then explain how we unmasked him. First, we see a racist meme that Steven posts that calls people of color “shitskins” and that describes the futility of the white supremacist conspiracy theory of the “Great Replacement”

Then, we see that he put up fliers on NIU’s campus in October of 2017. He discusses at length about how the general media covering his “work” with a flurry of articles gave him an advantage when it came to media coverage. Specifically, it gave him and Identity Evropa the attention they desperately needed in order to spin the message and insert their own white supremacist rhetoric into the mainstream. We’ve seen this time and time again. This is why we, as antifascists, give no platform for fascists to spew their bullshit, in the media or otherwise.

 

He refers to his work of putting up posters at NIU as “siege packets”, which is a reference to Neo-Nazi James Mason‘s white supremacist terrorist manual Siege. Considering the connections outlined previously between Identity Evropa and Unite the Right, an attempted Amtrak hijacking, an attempted arson, and racially motivated attacks by their leadership against Muslims and people of color, we take putting up white supremacist propaganda up as one part of a longer strategy towards radicalization towards more hardcore white supremacist views and inevitably – violence. He also discusses how NIU addressing the flyers as a safety concern motivated him with the attention he needed to commit to putting up more flyers. He put up more flyers at NIU in March of 2018. He was excited that his second time putting up flyers put him on the front page news.


Later, he quotes another white supremacist Jack Donovan, whom the Southern Poverty Law Center has covered fairly well in this article on the male supremacist movement. Steven acknowledged his agreement with the idea that “Moral universalism is a philosophy for men who have surrendered. They have surrendered their land, their history, their women, their dignity and their identity. They’ve become impotent half-men who deserve to be victims and slaves.” He later goes on to admit that he is curious about researching the past White Nationalist movements in the United States, and he solicits recommendations.

He also talks about meeting Art Jones, a holocaust denying white nationalist congressional candidate who ran for Illinois’ 3rd congressional district, at a barbecue. He calls him a great guy. Art lost the race, but still gained 26% of the vote. Who would call a Nazi a great guy besides maybe…a Nazi?

If it isn’t already clear we have a white supremacist on our hands, here is him discussing about how he is often confused with a white supremacist blog’s primary editor because of the similarity of their usernames. The fact that he easily knows who the editor of one of the largest white supremacist blogs on the internet is, and that he is sitting in a white supremacist forum posting racist and antisemitic memes, shreds any doubt as to whether or not Steven is a white supremacist.

Besides his white supremacist activities, he seems to enjoy grooming 18 year old girls from his church service. They apparently talked at length about guns. He also talks about her fertility and how she is “gorgeous and trad“. What a creep.

So how did we catch Steven? Well, we received an anonymous tip to his identity, and confirmed it with information that Gaius posted as well.

First, Steven Scheele is a member of Young Americans for Liberty, a right wing libertarian student group founded by Congressman Ron Paul with the aim of spreading “freedom of speech”. The long history and complicity of the libertarian movement in fostering fascist ideas is well documented in the “libertarian to fascist pipeline” described here. You can see that Steven was a member both at Kishwaukee College as well as Northern Illinois University. Do remember that Gaius posted at NIU.

Then, he talks about himself in reference to a white supremacist banner drop that occurred in Oak Park in late February of 2018. He mentions that he was wearing a scarf and sunglasses. Only one dude in that video (posted by CBS Chicago) was wearing a scarf and sunglasses. Observe the similarities of his facial structure masked up to that of his own photo posted on Facebook, as well as an image of him from a family photo posted by his sister, Esther Scheele on Instagram. His Facebook is pretty sparse too, we can only imagine because he is trying to avoid being doxxed after the Identity Evropa leaks. Too late.

The real smoking gun is when he links to a Google Drive video of himself talking about Syria at a TPUSA event. He may remove the link after we’ve published this, but it is too late, as we already have downloaded the video and are publishing it here.

Finally, Gaius posts that he is turning 23 in July of 2018. That would make him 24 in July of 2019. Guess who has a birthday in July, and is 24 in 2019? Steven Scheele of DeKalb, Illinois (archive here). Finally, to match up the side profiles, here (archive) is a photo of Steven from when he was doing Young Americans for Liberty work on the Kishwaukee Campus.

Probably the winner for having the worst operational security of all of the Chicago Proud Boys (and that’s saying a lot considering how badly Jeff Schwier, Tom Frederick Christensen, and Adam Richard Glenn sabotaged themselved) is Doloan “Dylan” Daoud. We spotted Doloan/Dylan Daoud based on his Twitter account (archive) which followed both the MAGA Meetup Chicago page, which is a vehicle by which the Proud Boys and the American Identity Movement recruit members, as well as him following the @BoysOfLiberty account, which we found in a previous infiltration described here to be the front group for Proud Boys vetting and recruitment.

And then a quick hop to his facebook, which we’ll get to later!

Doloan/Dylan Daoud really didn’t try to hide his involvement with the Proud Boys at all. Here is a photo from his Facebook (archive) where he is standing next to Gavin McInnes – VICE media co-founder and founder of the Proud Boys. And someone with a jawline similar enough to Tom Christensen, president of the Chicago Proud Boys.

You’d think that when a man is in his late-30’s with a wife and kid to take care of he’d quit running around with burnouts trying to remake Beastie Boys videos and who enjoy attacking people of color and other minorities. That’s not Jeff Schwier. He’s a member of the Chicago Proud Boys who does exactly that, despite him living in the south suburbs.

How’d we catch him? It was too easy.

After we found the Sabotage video posted by a Proud Boy on YouTube, we downloaded it before the video creator, Proud Boys Chicago Chapter President Tom Christensen, took down the private video. Tom wasn’t quick enough because we were able to download a copy and make it widely available on bitchute, as found here. From their video, we were able to pull screenshots, where these smart boys used their real names in the intro credits:

After finding his name through the video, it was simple to discover Jeff Schwier’s Facebook page (archive: here) because, well, he used his own name again. From there, it was easy to confirm that this Jeff Schwier’s Facebook belonged to a Proud Boy from Chicago because he liked several things on Facebook related to Chicago, as well as openly posted photos of a fascist rally that had occurred in Poland where attendees were openly calling for an Islamic Holocaust.

“The [Proud Boys] organization glorifies political violence against leftists, re-enacting political assassinations, wearing shirts that praise Augusto Pinochet‘s murders of leftists, and participating directly in political violence.^[23][24] [Founder Gavin] McInnes has said “I want violence, I want punching in the face. I’m disappointed in Trump supporters for not punching enough.”^[23][36] He stated, “We don’t start fights […] but we will finish them.”^[42] Heidi Beirich, the Intelligence Project director for the Southern Poverty Law Center, said that this form of intentional aggression was not common among far-right groups in the past; she said: “‘We’re going to show up and we’re intending to get in fights,’ that’s a new thing.”^[43] In August 2018, Twitter shut down the official account for the group, as well as McInnes’ account, under its policy prohibiting violent extremist groups; at the time, the group’s profile photo was a member punching a counter-protester.^[44] In late November 2018, it was reported, based on an internal memo of the Clark County, Washington Sheriff’s Office, that the FBI had classified the Proud Boys as an extremist group with ties to white nationalism.^[12] Two weeks later, however, the Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s Oregon office denied that the FBI made such designations, ascribing the error by the Sheriff’s Office to a confusion over the FBI designating the group as such, as a designation made by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and other outside agencies.^[26]”

This article was written with assistance from an anonymous comrade. It has been redacted, with full information provided in a link at the bottom of the article. 

Alexander Blake Luderman who goes by the aliases “Blake Lucca” or “Blake Luccason” or “Alex Luda” and various other variations is a white supremacist last known to be residing in Woodburn, Indiana. Alex is seen in Unicorn Riot’s discord leaks of the “Charlottesville 2.0” server, which was used to coordinate local set up for attendees to meet in Charlottesville for the infamous Unite the Right Rally. Alex makes a presence in discord under the username “b-luccason”. You may read all his messages here.

Alex attended Unite the Right in Charlottesville. He went with the American Guard, a white supremacist group that contains former Klansmen, racist skinheads, and several neo-Nazis.

Discord user “Placidseven – MO”( click here to read all his posts), who appears on Identity Evropa’s “Nice Respectable People Server” that was leaked in March by Unicorn Riot, has been identified as none other than Ryan Lane Thomas of Fenton, Missouri. 

Identity Evropa, a Neo-Nazi organization, is most infamous for its involvement in the deadly Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, where antifascist Heather Heyer was killed by James Alex Fields Jr. Identity Evropa’s former leader, Nathan Damigo, is infamous for assaulting both a femme antifascist protester as well as an Arab cab driver in an armed robbery, where he pulled a loaded gun in the face of an innocent man for “looking Iraqi“.  They also have within their former membership an attempted Amtrak hijacker Taylor Wilson, and the fascist Nolan Brewer that tried setting a synagogue in Carmel, Indiana on fire. After the Unicorn Riot leaks dropped in March, Identity Evropa scrambled to re-brand as the American Identity Movement.

To start off, he posts two photos of his house on Discord:

When we Google his username “Placidseven”, there are a few hits namely his Github, his Gab account, and his stackoverflow account. On his Github account, we are lucky enough to spot his e-mail address.

This gives us a potential name, Ryan Thomas, a location – Missouri, and another potential username -rthomas529. With a quick Google search, we were able to find his posts as rthomas529 on a malwarebytes forum which led us to a better view of his face. We also found another post, where a user rthomas529 is talking about Fenton, Missouri and raising chickens.

So now we lives on a street address starting with 1736, somewhere near Fenton Missouri and that his name may be Ryan Thomas. What can we find?

That sure does look like the photo he uploaded of his house. He made it quite easy for us. To top off the creepiness of Ryan’s fascist fetish, here is a video he posted on his YouTube account showing that he has a loaded gun in his car’s glove department, followed by talking about how he could come into his kid’s gym and kill everybody if he was a “bad guy”. If you know the whereabouts of this school, please contact us!

If you have any details about Ryan’s place of employment, please send us an email at antifascistchicago [@] riseup [dot] net.

As you all may recall from our previous posts, outing this smug ass chud Jonathan Alexander Argumendo as John Heathen, the leader of the scraggly crew AntiAntiFa Chicago which we all know is code for white nationalist, as evidenced by him standing in front of a Celtic Cross, the most basic of neo-Nazi symbols. Don’t believe us? The ADL says so too.

So anyway, we let the world know about him through our article:  https://antifascistchicago.noblogs.org/post/2019/05/29/meet-jonathan-alexander-argumedo-aka-jon-heathen-aka-john-alexander-leader-of-anti-antifa-chicago/

And do remember that if you choose to let John Alexander Argumendo know what a giant piece of fascist poop he is, do so with a burner phone or by using *67 to block your number.

Dustin Baker, who goes by @illgoy on Twitter, is a Neo-Nazi with ties to both Identity Evropa and Patriot Front.

The connection between the deadly Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville in 2017 and Identity Evropa (now re-branded as American Identity Movement) cannot be overstated. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, the white supremacist Identity Evropa group was involved in the planning of the white supremacist rally and the American Identity Movement is:

“at the forefront of the racist ‘alt-rights’ effort to recruit white, college-aged men and transform them into the fashionable new face of white nationalism.”

Additionally, the Southern Poverty Law Center has this to say about Patriot Front:

“Patriot Front (PF) is a white nationalist hate group that formed in the aftermath of the deadly “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, of August 12, 2017. The organization broke off from Vanguard America (VA), a neo-Nazi group that participated in the chaotic demonstration. PF’s founder, Thomas Rousseau, led VA members during “Unite the Right,” including James Alex Fields, Jr., the young man accused of murdering anti-racist protester Heather Heyer after fatally driving his vehicle into a crowd of protesters”

We will scroll through some of Dustin’s social media posts, and then walk through how we discovered it was him.  First, we see that Dustin posting a tweet tagging Nathan Damigo, founder of the white supremacist group Identity Evropa in his two seperate tweets with Identity Evropa’s infamous slogan: “You will not replace us”

In fact, he seems to have created the posters, according to suggestions by this tweet.
