February 2021 update: Ken Zrallack aka Kevin Harris and Travis Golie, both white nationalists with ties to organized hate groups Patriot Front, White Lives Matter and New Jersey European Heritage Association, have relocated to a new home in Chrisman IL. The two men live with their children. They are currently renting 202 E Madison Ave Chrisman, IL 61924, which belongs to Theresa and Robert Johnson, potentially managed by their son Brandon, all of whom can be politely notified of their tenants’ ideologies here: winky126@yahoo.com; dogharleydog@yahoo.com

Kenneth Gary Zrallack aka Ken Zrall aka Ken Harris is a known white supremacist from Stratford, CT, believed to be in the Chambana area with fellow white nationalist Travis Beau Golie of Iowa. Ken was co-founder of Battalion 14 (B14CT), a Nazi group, formerly known as Connecticut White Wolves, and former member of North East White Power. Ken is currently a member of Patriot Front, New Jersey European Heritage Association and the local Ku Klux Klan chapter. He co-founded the White Lives Matter Movement, and was arrested waving a “white lives matter” flag on a highway with Lisa Holly as a political statement in 2018.

Ken is living with three young children, two boys and a little girl who was sporting green hair at one point. Ken is father to the youngest boy and the other two children have Travis as a father. They live together. Their confirmed town of residence is Chrisman, IL which is an hour from Champaign and 40 minutes to Tuscola. We started on Ken’s trail after an anonymous and helpful tip was sent to us about him in Southern IL, the Patriot Front flyers, and the lawn dropping of racist literature, so we got to work putting together the puzzle pieces.
The Proud Boys are an SPLC-designated hate group for their identity as a far-right neo-fascist organization that admits only men as members and promotes political violence. They’re easily identified with their yellow-ringed knock-off Fred Perry polos and their propensity to get loud, drunk, and in fights. Across the country, they have been condemned for attacking defenseless people in the streets, especially if the PB gang did not agree with their political beliefs, their sexuality or gender orientation, or their religion.
The Proud Boys Chicago chapter operated a clandestine Telegram group called “Fuck Antifa” that was later renamed to “D-Fence Squad” for a significant portion of the summer of 2019. The members of the chat group have been identified as Sean Dolan, “Trigger” Tom Christensen, Nick Stiso, Jon “Heathen” Argumedo and Chicago Police Officer Rob Bakker.

This post is dedicated to the everyday antifascists, the ones who make racists, anti-Semites, Islamophobes, sexists, misogynists, transphobes, and other such Nazis unwelcome across every platform. We see you. We appreciate you.
Last weekend, people across the country answered the astroturfed call and demanded local government reopen their states, despite the tide of the growing coronavirus pandemic, so they and more vulnerable people can get back to work (lol). Urged on by facebook groups created by right-wing organizations and donors, people are demanding an end to the self-isolation guidelines. However, anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and Holocaust imagery are also present at anti-lockdown protests. For an overview and photos about the worrisome and staggeringly stupid protests, read this Daily Mail article.
And these fascist chuds made a Chicago connection.
(For deeper analysis on the Columbus protest, along with historical context the messaging, see JTA‘s article)
(Added 07/2021) For the last year and a half Brendan has started a lifelong process to leave his life of hatred and white nationalist organizing behind him and to grow as a person through de-radicalization. He has been interviewed about his journey leaving this world by NPR. Though we know that many are prone to relapse into the life of white nationalist organizing, we do not consider Brendan to be at risk of doing so any time soon. We welcome his progress to leave hatred, bigotry, and fascism behind him. We keep this article up for historical reference.
White nationalist hate group Identity Evropa Discord user “AltRightMick” who appears on Charlottesville and Identity Evropa servers that were leaked in March by Unicorn Riot and twitter hellion Chidentitarian has been identified as none other than Brendan S of Chicago, Illinois.
Brendan went by the pseudonym “AltRightMick” on Identity Evropa’s Discord servers and Slack channels, but after the leaks, the hate group was permanently banned from Discord and Slack. Currently, he has started to organize under the new pseudonym “Carl – IL” on the American Identity Movement’s MatterMost chat rooms, which was also released by Unicorn Riot.
Identity Evropa, a Neo-Nazi organization, is infamous for their involvement in the deadly Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, where antifascist Heather Heyer was killed by Neo-Nazi James Alex Fields Jr. They are an SPLC-designated hate group which tried to rebrand to escape culpability after Charlottesville.
When we got word of an alt-right twitter account publicly posting to ask dudes to come over and watch Soviet-era movies with him, our interest was piqued. Who is this guy? And is this the nationalist version of Netflix and chill?
He definitely sounds like a charmer. A quick search of the readily available massive white nationalist discord server dump, curated and hosted by the amazing Unicorn Riot lands us with this immediate confirmation:
the best own is a self-own
Between Borgia King and his discord profile, we note that the same usernames and profile pic. Sometimes putting the pieces together isn’t that hard.
That’s pretty unique name. So we looked for his name in LinkedIn:

Too big of a reveal for a Twitter thread, this identification all started with a simple question:
Who is this LARPer rocking Proud Boy colors, body armor, and knee pads with a go-pro strapped to his head at the Proud Boys rally in Albuquerque, New Mexico?
computer, enhance.
First, it should be noted that of the fourteen Proud Boys who did show up to wave some flags with police protection, four of them have already been outed on the @all_socks Twitter account, with more on the way! Local media The Daily Lobo reports on how the community turned up to stand against fascism to send a message to violent far group that day, most notably that the Proud Boys were outnumbered 10:1.
We would like to introduce you to Thomas Randall Sparks currently residing in Santa Fe, New Mexico and previously of Sequim, Washington.
As we’ve covered in previous articles, the Proud Boys are a violent far-right group that has had many arrests among its members for violence. Don’t believe us? Read what the Southern Poverty Law Center has to say about this violent far-right group. In fact, “Trigger” Tom Christensen, the President of the Chicago Chapter of the Proud Boys, was just found guilty of 2 felonies for stabbing two people outside of a Dropkick Murphy’s concert in 2017. Tom, with a long and storied history of white supremacy and attacking anti-fascists, will be sentenced September 30th, 2019. Read our full dossier on Christensen here.
Shortly after Trigger Tom was found guilty, a new Twitter account popped into the scene claiming to represent the Chicago Proud Boys. He revealed his own identity rather quickly after he posted his own Cash App handle on Twitter.
Easy for us, we were able to get his real name by searching Cash App for the username he posted on twitter which leads us to:

Interestingly, in the Chicago Sun-Times article about Tom’s sentencing a familiar, annoying name pops up:
Who’s that Nick Stiso? More than just a poser punk who’s only claim to fame is that he was a background extra in the SLC Punk movie sequel. (That’s right, the 1998 hit movie had a sleeper sequel which came out in 2016 and he’s in a few crowd scenes)

Nick Stiso was oftentimes accompanying Tom Christensen and Adam Richard Glenn, but not cool enough to star in the embarrassing Chicago Proud Boys Sabotage video. He’s a member who operates quietly, often executing missions on behalf of Tom’s commands-Nick Stiso. Most of the time, he is tasked with either scoping out leftist spaces to try to doxx leftists, committing acts of petty vandalism, or outright targeted acts of violence.
