In an article written for Clark County Today during a series of late 2018 campus rallies in the Vancouver, WA area, a journalist interviewing Patriot Prayer founder Joey Gibson and violent Proud Boy Tiny Toese reported “both men claim that they have welcomed known neo-nazis into their group, but that those men no longer are racists after hearing what they have to say.
A recent addition to Patriot Prayer’s mob of far-right activists, Alyssa Vinsonhaler quickly made herself a key player in white nationalist Haley Adams’ entourage by presenting herself as a “former member” of antifa. In promoting herself as a so-called insider source on the radical left, she’s given Adams and others fresh targets for harrassment and facile rhetorical fodder for their bigoted agenda.

Haley Adams Haley Adams is a white nationalist member of Patriot Prayer who has been a consistent presence at Patriot Prayer and Proud Boy events and struggled to transform herself into an alt-right celebrity.
Recently, Adams’ constant attempt to propel herself into the far-right media spotlight has been a cause for significant in-fighting amongst Patriot Prayer, the Proud Boys, and her own group of far-right amateurs. After a feud led former Proud Boy Kim Costello to be outed, Rose City Antifa was sent another tip, detailing Adams’ home address.
Unicorn Riot recently released the chat logs of the white nationalist group Identity Europa, which contains almost 250k messages from approximately 900 unique users.
Identity Europa (IE) began in 2016, as a project founded by Nathan Damigo. The focus was on mass-movement building among white, college-age youth, typically framed in terms of white “Identitarianism”, and influenced by European organization Generation Identitaire, or Generation Identity. A significant part of IE’s messaging has focused on shifting away from openly racist rhetoric, and establishing a respectable facade for their organization by claiming that they merely support “pro-white” positions.
The recent uproar in the media and activist community regarding the Portland Police Bureau’s communications with Joey Gibson did not take us by surprise, but only served to prove what has been known to many for some time. The City of Portland has attacked and injured anti-fascist activists, and done so at the behest of and in collusion with far-right groups.
An Incomplete Timeline of the City of Portland’s Collusion with Far-Right Violence The Portland police provided free buses to transport white supremacists at the tax-payers expense on April 29, 2017.
At the center of a current maelstrom of far-right infighting involving Patriot Prayer and the Proud Boys is a relative newcomer calling himself “Vittorio DiNove.” Thanks to information leaked by “Vittorio’s” resentful fellow far-right activists, who tend to get paranoid about new recruits rising too quickly through their ranks, we are exposing his real identity today as Kim Warner Costello, an extremely violent member of the Proud Boys hate group who works at Gearheads Motorworks, an automotive repair business owned by his partner in the Montavilla neighborhood of Portland, OR.
On Thurday February 7, 2019, Portland City Council passed a resolution acknowledging Portland’s grotesque and ongoing history of white supremacy and racism, and “reaffirm[ing] its commitment to continue, in collaboration with Portlanders, pursuing policies and directing bureaus in the next year and beyond to ensure civil and human rights to all individuals.” The resolution also states that “the city of Portland is proud to stand united against those who propagate hate and incite fear and violence in our community.
Rose City Antifa is exposing the identities of three neo-Nazis who are part of the local Daily Stormer Book Club (DSBC), known as the PDX Stormers. Since 2016, the PDX Stormers have harassed and threatened members of our community with anti-Semitic, white nationalist propaganda as members of the internet’s largest community of Nazis and white supremacists, organized via the web forums of The Daily Stormer neo-Nazi website. Follow along with us using the hashtags #stormerbreaker and #debaseddoxx.
Matthew Blais and Bogdan Gerasimyuk, two neo-Nazis associated with the Portland Daily Stormer Book Club, are employed by Securitas in Vancouver, WA as private security guards. These individuals have a long history of posting racism, anti-Semitism, and threats of genocidal violence online, and have taken part in organized campaigns of racial intimidation in local Portland and Vancouver neighborhoods, and on college campuses. Having these two fascists licensed and employed as private security in our community is unacceptable.
