ILLINOIS NSM STATE LEADER CHRIS ROTHE RESIGNS
After a few antifascist attacks against Chris Rothe, including a flier drop at his place of business and his neighborhood, he has resigned from the National Socialist Movement, giving up his chosen role as state leader. A major factor that led him to make this decision was not only the attacks but the lack of support from the NSM after the attacks occurred. Though this does not necessarily mean Chris isn't a nazi, he is no longer affiliated with that particular organization. Since they have lost supporter William Kennedy, as well as members Suzan Lenner, Billy Woods, and the hated and proud skins, for the same reason, the NSM is left without a functional chapter in Illinois.
Statement from Chris Rothe:
To Whom it may concern, I Chris Rothe wish to resign and cease all activity/contact with the NSM i wish to not be affiliated with not even support the NSM effective immediately.
I want to detour anyone who has interest in the nsm, i should start by letting you know my car was vandalized my windows got busted out and my tires slashed. I was upset when this happened and when i told the members of the nsm about this noone offered any help to me, not a fucking dime. Noone offered to take my back, noone offered to help me pay my deductable. Its funny they want you to support them but who supports you when something happens. I can assure you that if your interested in the nsm that nothing good will come of it, what would happen if i would have been hospitalized at a rally or something i would have been all alone paying bills. At the end of the day its all a bunch of lies that lead to violence and quite simply your on your own noone gives a fuck.
Statement from the Hated and Proud skins:
We regret to announce that we are no longer working with the NSM. We hold no hard feelings towards the NSM overall, but believe that their recruiting method is extremely flawed and unsafe. We would rather work amongst ourselves and recruit new individuals based on trust rather than simply to inflate our ranks.
There were rumors going around that the NSM hoped to host the conference in Chicago next year, but with their Illinois unit in shambles, we seriously doubt that. It appears that Missouri or Texas is the likely location for the NSM 2014 conference.

BRIAN MOUDRY SENTENCED TO TEN YEARS
At around 2:15 PM, Brian Moudry walked into court at the Dirksen Federal Building for his sentencing. The back of his head read "Blued eyed Devil". Not a single supporter was present aside from his mother. Moudry has been locked up for a year awaiting sentencing. During this time, he has gotten into two altercations: On April 12, 2013, Moudry assaulted another inmate using a combination lock in a sock as a weapon. The staff person, who submitted the report, stated that Moudry was observed striking the victim in the head several times with a lock in a sock. The victim attempted to distance himself from inmate Moudry who continued to pursue the victim and then began to throw food trays toward him and other inmates. According to the incident report, "at no time did the victim attempt to fight back. During the assault, Moudry shouted, "Yeah, I'm a white motherfucker from Chicago, motherfuckers! Fuck all of yall!" On March 8, 2013, Moudry was in a physical altercation with another inmate. According to a memorandum pertaining to the altercation, staff responded to an alarm triggered due to two inmates fighting. The other inmate involved in the altercation stated that Moudry approached him and said, "who do you think you are the police, you don't give me any orders about making my bed." The inmate further reported that when he turned his back, Moudry "proceeded to pick up a broom and tried to hit him with it." According to the report, the other inmate turned around to defend himself, Moudry dropped the broom, and they began to exchange punches until ordered to stop fighting. According to the memorandum, Moudry reportedly stated that "I got into a fight and that's all I'm saying." Judge Robert Gettlemen told Moudry that he is "Lucky the fire went out" and said otherwise it would have weighed on his conscience. When asked if Moudry had anything to say, Moudry replied "No". From there he was sentenced to the statutory maximum of 120 months (with the ability to be reduced by 15%) and owes restitution in the amount of $1708.32. The Judge acknowledged the defenses request for substance abuse and metal health treatment (Due to a long history of metal health issues such as schizophrenia) and recommended a facility closest to Chicago that could meet that recommendation, while also maintaining the appropriate security level.
The Incident:
Lock and sock
On June 17th 2007 Brian Moudry, Marcin Golebiowski (3847 N Pontiac Ave Chicago, IL), and Daniel E Marlin were drinking in Brian Moudrys garage at 304 s Reed st in Joliet, IL. At around 5am, Police were called to the scene of a crime a few houses south of Moudrys at 318 s Reed st by an eye witness claiming to have seen a man with an orange shirt and blue jeans walking northbound with a tank of gasoline after splashing gasoline on the north side of the residence. The residence was being rented by a black family and had inside eight children–ranging from four to fourteen years of age. The officers, familiar with Moudry and his white supremacist views, went to Moudrys house shortly after and seen the garage door open with candles on. Inside was Golebiowski and Marlin. Moudry was not inside at this time. Oddly enough, Golebiowski matched the description and was pointed out by the wtiness. Golebiowski was placed in custody and Daniel Marlin was brought down to the Joliet police dept for investigation. Both Marlin and Golebiowski told investigators that Moudry used the word "nigger" several times in reference to the new neighbors at 318 Reed st.
Moudry w/ Tom Metzger and James Logsdon
Ultimately, on March 10th, 2008, the Will County States Attorney's Office somehow dismissed the charges against Golebiowski. Moudry was then charged in a three-count indictment. On January 18, 2013, Moudry pled guilty to Count Two of the Indictment which charged him with the use of fire in the interference of another occupying a dwelling because of the occupant's race, in violation of Title 42, United States Code, Section 3631(a). Moudry was a member of the Creativity Movement (TCM), formerly known as the World Church of the Creator (WCOTC), and got his first white pride tattoo at the age of 14. According to reports, around 4am Moudry went and tried to set the house on fire from the south side of the residence. After Moudry returned to his garage he bragged "I did it, I did it, I set that fucking house on fire." Moudry then realized that the fire he set had extinguished. He returned to the residence, poured more gasoline on a north-facing exterior wall of the residence and ignited a second fire. While there, a 14-year-old girl who lived in the home observed the fire and went outside the residence to investigate. The girl saw tsomeone holding a red can near the corner of the house. After igniting the second fire, he returned home briefly. At gunpoint, a witness drove Moudry from the residence to another area of Joliet. Moudry then took numerous actions to destroy evidence from the arson, including disposing of the gas can, his clothing and cleaning the vehicle in which he and the witness rode in. Moudry then attempted to provide an alibi for himself by purchasing food with a credit card at a Dunkin Donuts.
Our Conclusion:
Regardless of our opinion towards the fascists, South Side ARA won't be applauding this sentence. Groups like the SPLC may wish for prison time, but unlike them we don't see prison as the answer. Nor do we see all prisoners as scum. We wish not to have other inmates subjected to Moudry antics. We don't wish for our friends, family, and comrades who are incarcerated, to be hit in the head with locks by white supremacist. We would rather see Moudry on the streets receiving "justice" at the hands of anti-fascists. It is true that we did not prevent this arson attempt but neither did the state. Instead, the state has allowed Moudry the ability to organize with white supremacy gangs behind the wall. On the streets of Chicago, at this point in time he wouldn't be so capable.

EXPOSING NSM ILLINOIS STATE LEADER CHRIS ROTHE
Update 6/13/13: After a few antifascist attacks against Chris Rothe, including a flier drop at his place of business and his neighborhood, he has resigned from the National Socialist Movement, giving up his chosen role as state leader. A major factor that led him to make this decision was not only the attacks but the lack of support from the NSM after the attacks occurred. Though this does not necessarily mean Chris isn't a nazi, he is no longer affiliated with that particular organization.
Chris Rothe is the Illinois State leader of the National Socialist Movement (NSM), the largest neo nazi organization in the United States, The NSM may be a joke in some regards but they have more than one murder on their hands. Chris lives in Naperville, is a foreman at a construction company (United brotherhood of carpenters and joiners local 1889 – 28600 Bella Vista PKWY Warrenville, IL 60555, (630) 821-7932), and used to be a member of the notorious neo-nazi group known as the National Alliance (NA). Chris claims that he once got a guy laid off based on the fact that he was black and says that he hopes to one day start his own company in which he will only hire white people. Although Chris may not be attending or hosting many events that we know of, he does believe in a violent race war in which "blood has to be spilled". For all of these reasons, we believe Chris Rothe is someone worth paying attention to.

ANNUAL SOUTH SIDE ARA ZINE #4 (MAY 2012-APRIL 2013) THE "TINLEY PARK EDITION""
Download readable version here
Download printable PDF here
South Side ARA has had a busy year. This zine is a taste of some of the people we pay attention to, actions we've participated in or support, and ideas at the forefront of militant anti-fascism, from April 2012 to April 2013. This is our 4th annual zine and we hope you'll copy, distribute, and talk about what's in here. More importantly, we hope you'll watch out for those people outed in here and start acting, as you can, to fight fascism, racism, sexism, anti-semitism, islamophobia, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, ageism, capitalism, and all oppression.
This zines content is extremely similar to three before it, except this issue also contains a somewhat large portion that relates to the militant disruption of a white supremacist event in Tinley Park, IL last May by antifascists. This incident led to the arrest and imprisonment of five antifascists known as the "Tinley Park 5", or the "TP5". The zine features the original communique, attendee information, private email correspondence, theoretical analysis of the incident, and support info for the Tinley Park 5.
We hope you enjoy.
Always pissed, always antifascist!

THE NSM HIT TWICE. 2013 CONFERENCE DISRUPTED BY ANTIFA
Update 4/19/13: Since we first posted this, we have gotten 4 confirmations that the hotel asked the NSM to leave. If this is true, thank you to everyone for successfully shutting down their 2013 national conference!
The National Socialist Movement (NSM) planned to hold their annual conference and rally this year in Atlanta, GA. The conference portion was to take place at the same place they were staying at; the Wellesley Inn Hotel (1337 Virgina ave Atlanta, GA), booked under the "Richard Wight group". In 2011, Anti- Racist Action showed up to their conference in Pemberton, NJ and a fight involving 20 plus people ensued. Several nazis in the NSM were hospitalized with antifa suffering only minor scratches. Now, for the second time in 3 years, ARA and other antifascist comrades found their meeting location and disrupted it.
After intercepting private conversations between NSM members, ARA put together a country wide phone jam involving many antifascist and radical organizations. At around 6pm the calls came in hard and folks raised their concern over the neo nazi conference taking place at the Wellesley Inn. Meanwhile, according to a posting on Atlanta indymedia, some anonymous ATL antifascists rushed the hotel smashing NSM South Carolina member Richard Wight's car.
Taken from Atlanta indymedia:
On April 19th, Atlanta antifascists descended upon the Wellesley Inn Hotel, where the neo nazi group known as the National Socialist Movement was holding their annual conference. We smashed every window and a tire of their member Richard Wight's car. We did this to disrupt their conference, avert their attention off of the conference, to hit them monetarily, and show them that there will always be consequences for fascist organizing.
-Fuck off nazi scum
ATL ANTIFA
At first, upon receiving the concerned calls, the hotel seemed concerned, but soon enough they made a pathetic attempt at denying the NSM's presence.
One night earlier in Illinois:
Since the NSM's former Illinois state contact Suzy Lenner (3144 Boyle Terrace, Apt 4B River Grove, IL 60171-1185 quit and became merely a supporter as a
Buddy Rumble
direct result of antifa harassment, the NSM made it a goal to quietly build a strong and active Illinois unit. The NSM thought they were doing pretty well in their efforts, with Buddy Rumble being the lead coordinator from the outside.
The truth is however, that one of their younger members turned informant for antifa after being contacted weeks prior to the conference. The Hated and Proud Skins were to pick up our mole late Thursday night for the conference, but according to an email, were instead "ambushed by antifa, leaving their car unable to make it to the meeting". Chris Rothe apparently was unable to make it to the meeting as well. This means, that not a single member of the Illinois NSM made it to their failed national conference.
They thought they could hide and get one over on antifa? Here's all the goods on the Illinois NSM:

But the games ain't over, the NSM will be rallying tomorrow at GA state capitol.
Also taken from Atlanta indymedia:
According to the Georgia State Capitol Events webpage, The neo-nazi organization National Socialist Movement (NSM) along with other racist white supremacist groups such as the Ku Klux Klan will be holding their 2013 National meeting & anti-immigration rally in Atlanta and it's no coincidence that they are doing it on Hitler's birthday. Although the meeting is being held in an undisclosed location, here is the info for the rally:

Tony Ptak
The ANP are a "Political-Educational Association" group led by Rocky Suhayda (38564 Scott Dr Westland, MI 48186-3854 Age: 55-59 [email protected]). This group claims George Lincoln Rockwell as their founder, but there is no real connection to the original ANP or its successor organizations. The ANP are most recently known for coming out in support of the occupy movement, and sending their political advisor; John Taylor Bowles, to speak at high schools such as Worthington Kilbourne High School (1499 Hard Road Columbus, OH 43235(C) 614-403-8843) in which a faculty member named David Strausbaugh actually invited him.
Paul Kozak
The ANP have also recently added a "non-aryan sympathizer page" to their website. This is a page for non-whites who want to support the ANP. Of course being a member and attending events as a non-white person is still not allowed. This effort on the ANP's part to find token supporters for their cause is not unheard of and has been used before by white supremacists to gain validation and legitimacy for their ideas. The reality is that fascism and neo-nazism are not an answer to class exploitation. In reality the fascists will only divide the working class further by entrenching nationalism, white supremacy and xenophobia, and have historically attacked leftists, immigrants, and labor unions for their roles in undermining their nationalist ideology. Furthermore, the ANP may be critical of capitalism but are not genuinely interested in destroying it or living in a classless/stateless society. Instead they want a world that recreates capitalism and the state ran by, and for, their master race.
There have been a few on-line attacks against the ANP including one on Bowles days before prior to their annual xmas together in NC that exposed the leadership of the ANP, released personal details on Bowles, and made available juicy private conversations between Bowles and several others.
In Illinois, some antifascists infiltrated the organization, and have learned quite a bit about the ANP, specifically the Illinois unit. Thanks!
From an email:
Infiltration of the American Nazi Party by some Illinois antifascists:
After contacting the ANP, as an interested Illinois based individual, we were put in touch with the Security Division/Illinois unit leader, Paul Kozak. After a few emails and a phone call Paul sent us to meet at Louisa's pizza, a favorite for the Illinois ANP. Paul was a strange man with no social skills. He was a grumpy man who thought very highly of himself. Paul claims he is a private investigator with 15 years military experience.
Along with Paul was his right hand man Tony Ptak. Tony is from Lombard, IL and claims to sell autographs of sports memorabilia through ebay and out of his house. (indistinguishable tattoo on left forearm and another on left hand of a small cross)Tony was a more sociable, friendly character who did 6 years in prison for armed violence and aggravated battery after bashing and then stabbing Dennis Lindsey with a bottle on September 18, 1987. Tony claims that while in prison, he made a relationship in prison with Clark Martell, the one time leader of the now extinct CASH crew. They warned us that there was someone in the parking lot keeping watch and Tony claimed that he(Tony) was "packing", but after hearing their supposed stance on guns and violence who knows what he was packing or if he was at all . We sat down and spoke for a while about what the ANP is, What they do and what they don't do. Here are some of the things we have learned from our conversation.
Although the ANP claim to have 200 people, Paul claims to only know of 30 full members. Women are NOT allowed for full membership. They can only be financial supporters. The way that you become a patched in member and move up in the ranks is by bringing in two people. It seems that the Illinois unit only have 3-5 members with Paul and Tony being the main players.
Violence:
They consider themselves to be very legalistic. They do not condone even discussing violence. In their eyes, anyone who discusses violence is an informant. They do not do arms training.
Illinois meetups happen in Dixon, IL through a guy named Tim and are at most, two times a year. Outside of that there are no formal meetings. Anytime a few members get together, it is considered to be a "meeting". The annual Christmas party used to happen at the redneck shop, which is no longer ran by racists. There is also a national ANP meeting every year in Michigan, where their leader Rocky Suhayda is from.
Allies and enemies:
The ANP are allies with no one. They hate all other organizations especially the NSM. They say that the ANP "cares about every one of their members unlike other groups".
During the tasty dinner date, in which they paid for, Paul and Tony were also very adamant about not dressing like a skinhead. They want members to be clean cut and normal looking, aside from at get togethers where they wear nazi uniforms.
After the first meeting Paul stepped out of the picture and handed off responsibility to Tony. Tony attempted to schedule informal meet ups and provides you with literature which you are expected to distribute. Literature distribution seems to be the only thing the ANP does outside of their own circle of elitist nazi fucks.
