Pablo Vive! – The Pablo Barbanegra Reader

from Black Rose Anarchist Federation

Pablo “Barbanegra” Avendaño – 1983-2018

On the evening of May 12th, 2018 – the day before Mother’s Day – our friend and comrade Pablo accepted a bike courier gig that would offer extra money for working in inclement weather at night – app based food delivery service Caviar. In the darkness and rain of that night his tire became lodged in a storm drain leading to the fatal accident which took his life. Pablo was 34 years old. He was full of life and love. He influenced and deeply touched the lives of so many. His many close friends, comrades, family members and loved ones will forever miss him, but carry him with them as they were all deeply influenced by his beautiful heart, mind and life.

Pablo was born and raised in Miami to working class Argentinian parents and the oldest of four brothers. He was a founding member of Miami Autonomy and Solidarity, a high school teacher and workplace organizer, and played an important role in the founding of Black Rose/Rosa Negra Anarchist Federation. Moving to Philadelphia in 2013 he participated in anti-police organizing and became a member of Philly Socialists.

Today, October 1st, 2018, would have been Pablo’s 35th birthday and in celebration of his work and ideas we are releasing “The Pablo Barbanegra Reader” of his political writings. We honor his life – taken too soon! – and ask you to consider how to live your life as truly as he did, driven from the deepest faith in and connections to a heart full of love and ideals of freedom, equality, solidarity and liberation.

Pablo Vive! Osito Vive!

Keystone United Exposed Day 24: Joseph Hoesch

from Philly Antifa

Joeseph Hoesch. Neo- nazi, former Keystone State Skinheads member, and current Atlantic City Skins associate living in Philadelphia.

Joseph Hoesch was a founding member of Keystone State Skinheads, who is no longer a member but is still a neo-nazi (though he lacks the courage to admit it in the street) and has been spotted around the city harassing leftist events, including demonstrations against the Trump Administration by larger, more liberal groups, and the #OccupyICEPHL encampment.

Joe Hoesch wearing a Waffen SS t-shirt and harassing the #occupyICEPHL encampment in Philly with a few fellow nazis.

Joseph Hoesch was involved in forming KSS in 2001, and was present with them the following year in York, PA, when Nazis rallying with the National Alliance and Creativity Movement were routed and sent fleeing the city by locals and Anti-Fascists. Hoesch was injured at some point in the melee.

Hoesch was married to his future ex-wife by Creativity Movement “Pontifex Maximus” Matthew Hale on the Aryan Nations compound. Hale would be imprisoned for conspiring to murder a federal judge who had ruled against the group over a copyright issue.

Joe Hoesch, former Barricada magazine “Bloody Bonehead of the Month.”

Following his ex-wife’s departure from the white power movement, Hoesch wasn’t seen around for several years, but was alongside KSS in Tacony around 4 years ago when they countered our March Against Racists and Rapists.

Hoesch was all tough talk that day, but when he was seen again last November he denied still being a Nazi. This was proven false a few weeks later when he was hanging out with AC Skins’ members when they were at a Murphy’s Law show in Philly.

Hoesch discussing nazi patches and defunct white power distro Micetrap records with AC Skins member Vinny DeFelice.

As we mentioned, Hoesch showed up at least twice at the #OccupyICEPHL encampment, once wearing a Neo-Nazi t-shirt and with another bonehead. Hoesch is no longer a member of KSS, but this is a result of him sleeping with KSS Co-Leader Bob Gaus’ fiancee, Valerie, and not a change of heart.

Hoesch works as a window cleaner, and has his own business, Hoesch Window Cleaning Service. He has it registered at his home address, 3255 Chatham Street, here in Philly.

We are asking our readers to go to the Angie’s List page for Hoesch Window Cleaning Service and leave reviews that make people aware that the business is run by a longtime neo-nazi who has a history of violence and harassing liberals and leftists, unprovoked.

Keystone United Exposed Day 23: Jason Honeywell

from Philly Antifa

Jason Honeywell, longtime Keystone State Skinheads member and neo-nazi.

Jason Honeywell is a longtime neo-nazi and Keystone State Skinheads member who was at one time, and may still be, the leader of the Wilkes Barre unit.

Honeywell was accused of stabbing two Anti-Racist skinheads outside of Cafe Metropolis in Wilkes-Barre after he and other members of KSS provoked a confrontation by giving seig-heil salutes at the singer of the band River Side Riot, who is black, during the band’s set.

Honeywell’s younger brother eventually pled guilty to the charges, but even if you believe him (and we have doubts), Jason Honeywell was indisputably involved in the racist provocation and fight that followed.

The Honeywell brothers alongside Keystone United co-founder Steve Smith and KU member Ryan Wojtowicz.

Honeywell has attended several past Leif Erikson Day events and was present when KSS crashed an NAACP organized meeting in response to Anti-Semetic graffiti being spray painted on a local synagogue by racist teenagers who were friends of KSS members. Honeywell has also been active with the Council of Conservative Citizens, a hate group with an innocuous sounding name with origins in the White Citizen’s Councils of the Jim Crow south.

Jason Honeywell (l) with Ryan Wojtowicz of Keystone United. Honeywell’s brother is in the back right.
Honeywell (r) with Pennsylvania chapter of hate group Council of Conservative Citizens. Also present are KU members Steve Smith and Ryan Wojtowicz.

In recent years, Honeywell hasn’t been spotted at many KSS events, but he may just be keeping a low profile. Honeywell maintains at least social connection to KSS, as does his fiance Sharyn Mann, and there’s no evidence he’s changed his ways.

Honeywell’s last known address is 129 Pine Street, Apt. 2, Pittston PA. We are asking our readers to help us identify what employment, if any, Honeywell has.

Keystone United Exposed Day 22: Marcel and Sharon Brettschneider

from Philly Antifa

UPDATE: According to a statement on the Bath City Roller Girls’ social media, both Marcel and Sharon Brettschnieders have been kicked off the team. We applaud BCRG for their quick and decisive action and for taking a stand against racism and nazism in Roller Derby. We have updated the article accordingly.

Sharon and Marcel Brettschnider, Keystone United members and neo-nazis living in Ferndale, MI. Marcel is wearing a “Rock Against Communism” shirt. RAC was started by the singer of neo-nazi band Skrewdriver, Ian Stuart, and is a common image on nazi clothing.

Marcel and Sharon Brettschneider are Keystone United members living in Ferndale, MI. They are both neo-nazis and Keystone State Skinheads supporters.

The Brettschneiders keep it very low profile about their white nationalist beliefs. They actually lived in Pennsylvania for several years, in Pheonixville and Philadelphia. At some point in their time in PA, Marcel joined KU, and then they moved to Michigan We later would learn of a “guy named Marcel” from KSS who had left town, but it wasn’t until doing research for KU Exposed that we discovered who Marcel was.

The Brettschneiders with Philly KSS and KSS co-founder Steve Smith. From left to right: Peggy Caterino, David Phillips, Steve Smith, The Brettschneiders, Joey and Stacey Phy. AJ Olsen kneeling in front.
The Brettshneiders with Philly KSS member AJ Olsen.

Marcel is/was besties with Philly KSS leader AJ Olsen. He included AJ in his wedding party, and they interact constantly on Facebook. When Tim Wylie from KSS was imprisoned for possessing an illegal firearm as a felon, Marcel Brettschneider donated 200 dollars and had this to say:

Bob Gaus is the de-facto leader of Keystone State Skinheads.

So Marcel not only knows Tim Wylie, and AJ Olsen, but KSS co-founder Bob Gaus, and is clearly referring to KU/KSS as “his brothers.”

Once we knew Marcel was KU, we were able to spot him in some pictures of the group, including a Keystone United/KSS picnic in 2015 (right next to Gaus) and Leif Erikson Day that same year. Sharon Brettschneider is also in the picture. Both of them are trying to hide their identities.

Keystone United at Leif Erikson Day 2014. The Brettschneiders are on the right, turned away from the camera. We have verified through informants within KSS that they attended this LED.

The reason for hiding his identity, as well as his beliefs, is likely linked to Marcel Brettschneider’s job as a Consultant for IT company Cenit North America, Inc.

Sharon Brettscneider playing Roller Derby. Marcel is behind her in ref’s shirt. They have since been kicked out of their team.

We are asking our readers to both email and call Cenit North America’s support and lodge a complaint that they are employing a neo-nazi who is using his wages to help bail a fellow nazi out of jail for carrying an illegal gun as a felon.

 

Finally, anyone with additional info regarding these two should send it our way.

Patrick Rogers and Heidi McCarthy are neo-nazis and members of Keystone United living in Williamsport, PA.

Rogers is heavily involved with Keystone United and Keystone State Skinheads. He attends many of their demonstrations and social events. Rogers has attended pretty much every Leif Erikson Day event since at least 2012. He also writes the bulk of the content for Keystone United’s blog under his real name.

Rogers has a long criminal history, including charges for “corruption of minors,” inducing minors to buy alcohol, aggravated assault and reckless endangerment.

Rogers (2nd row in Anti-Antifa shirt) at LED 2017.

Rogers posted a change.org petition in 2017 to overturn the conviction of Kayla Norton and Jose Torres, 2 anti-Black racists who terrorized a children’s birthday party with guns, confederate flags and racial slurs. Rogers was briefly involved with American Vikings, a group started by Vinlanders Social Club founder Brien James, in 2013.

Jimmy Thorson, neo-nazi and Keystone United member.

Jimmy E. Thorson is a neo-nazi, Keystone United member, and Keystone State Skinheads supporter living in Carlisle, PA.

Thorson has attended several Leif Erikson Day events, and also went to support an Aryan Nations rally of 12 in Gettysburg in 2010 but ended up leaving early muttering about how pathetic they were.

Thorson at Leif Erikson Day 2012.

Unfortunately, Thorson did not wise up after that and started getting involved with KSS and Keystone United. Thorson attends many Keystone United events, and was also spotted with Bob Gaus at the Trump rally in Harrisburg.

Nunzio Pellegrino is a 37 year old neo-nazi and Keystone State Skinheads member living in Philadelphia.

Pellegrino is the older brother of Vincent Pellegrino, a KSS supporter who sexually assaulted a woman in Tacony and then died fleeing the scene. Shortly after his brother’s death, Nunzio claimed to have left KSS and cut ties. That proved to be a lie, and Pellegrino has just been maintaining a low profile.

He, along with several members of his family, joined with KSS in countering our march in Tacony in response to his brother’s crimes. Several other Pellegrino family members maintain friendly relations with KSS on social media.

We are asking for verifiable tips regarding Pellegrino’s employment or any other information about him.

Josh Martin is a neo-nazi member of Keystone State Skinheads who lives in or near Pittsburgh, PA.

Martin has recently tried to lock down his social media, probably due to the recent attention to Pittsburgh-area KSS members following their attack on a black man in Avalon, PA. Martin was in attendance at KSS’ Yule Party in 2016 as well as other KU/KSS social events.

Ian McCorts, Keystone State Skinheads nazi.

Ian McCorts is a 33 year old member of Keystone State Skinheads and Keystone United and a longtime neo-nazi. McCorts has attended several Leif Erikson day events, including this past fall.

It is important to note how Keystone United operates, which is to socially exist in the traditional white power skinhead scene, but politically exist in the mainstream right. This allows them to both push more overtly racist views within the mainstream right, and to bring “respectable americans” into their world through the social functions, and radicalize them that way.

McCorts’s last known address is 111 Crestview Vlg., Middletown, PA. He lives with his wife, LIndsey McCorts. We are asking our readers to help us find more info on this nazi and send it our way.

Keystone United Exposed Day 15: Jason Tankersley

from Philly Antifa

Jason Tankersley, longtime neo-nazi and co-founder of Maryland Skinheads. Tankersley is also a Keystone State Skinheads and Keystone United supporter.

Jason Tankersley is the 37 year-old (DOB 5/9/81) founder of Maryland Skinheads and a longtime neo-nazi who, in the past few years, has attempted to rehabilitate his image. Maryland Skinheads, or MDS, has always been a small crew with longstanding ties to Keystone State Skinheads.

Tankersley, center, with Steve Smith and Joe Phy of Keystone State Skinheads

Both crews appeared together in a National Geographic documentary in 2008 training and working together. Keystone United’s music festival, Uprise Fest, which ran for several years, was co-promoted with Label 56, a white power label run by MDS co-founder Clemie Haught. Uprise routinely featured Label 56 bands. Because of the discrepancy in size, MDS has largely functioned as a chapter of KSS for most of it’s existence.

Tankersley (right with arm around David Phillips) at Keystone United yule party with KSS and MDS.
Tankersley (l) with Traditionalist Worker’s Party leader (now of the National Socialist Movement) Matthew Heimbach and Keystone State Skinheads co-founder Steve Smith.

Tankersley was a nazi long before MDS or KSS were founded, participating in rallies by the National Alliance, The Aryan Nations and the KKK, among others white power groups. Tankersley was present at the 2004 Aryan Nations and National Socialist Movement rally in Valley Forge, PA where Anti-Fascists turned away large portions of the crowd and a few nazis got smashed.

Tankersley (center) with nazi buddies at Aryan Nations rally in Valley Forge, PA in 2004.

Tankersley was with Joe Phy and other KSS and MDS members when they harassed a Pride event in Philly with homophobic slurs and nazi salutes in 2006.

MDS members, including Tankersley, attacked Anti-Fascists in a Food Lion parking lot in Western Maryland when the two groups encountered each other on the way to a KKK rally on Antietam battlefield, also in 2006.

Tankersley is a former amateur boxer who now trains MMA out of his gym, Exile Fitness, in Rosedale, MD.  In many pictures above, you can see Tankersley wearing Exile branded clothing.

As we mentioned, Tankersley has attempted to rehabilitate his image in recent years. He has covered up his more inflammatory tattoos, and trains a diverse group of students which includes POC and women.  It also, however, sometimes includes fellow MDS members and other nazis.

Tankersley training with students. He has covered up his more inflammatory tattoos but still has a “MDS” tattoo on his stomach.

However, Tankersley has not cut any ties with MDS, KSS, or the far right. Tankersley continues to attend KSS events and actions. He still promotes far right racists like Tommy Robinson, founder of the nazi-infested “English Defense League.” He just doesn’t seem to take issues with collecting money from POC while buddying up with the same group whose members allegedly threatened to “exterminate every black one by one” during their racist assault in Avalon, PA this summer.

Tankersley’s last known address is 1107 Steelton Ave, Baltimore, MD.

If someone wants to leave the nazi life behind, we support that. However, you cannot continue to materially and rhetorically support a neo-nazi organization like KSS/KU and expect hanging out with fellow far right fascists who happen to be POC like Jimi Yamamoto of the band Total Annihilation to insulate you from the label nazi. Jimi Yamamoto is known for hanging out with nazis. Nazis have a long history of excusing politically aligned individuals who validate their ideology by conforming to so-called “white” and “male” behaviors and sensibilities.

Tankersley with Jimi Yamamoto of the far-right band Total Annihilation.

As for Tankersley’s business catering to people of all ethnicity, you can miss us on that shit. Taking someone’s money and turning around and donating it to a group that believes the United States belongs to white people (and control of it belongs to white men specifically) is a racist act, period.

It is unlikely that Tankersley’s students are all totally unaware of his history, and probable that he has spun them his own tale of redemption where he realized what matters is being a far right nationalist who supports “traditional” gender power dynamics and racial homogenization, regardless of WHICH race. However, we are still asking our readers to visit the Exile MMA Facebook page and remind them that by supporting Tankersley and his gym, they are supporting Maryland Skinheads, Keystone United and other far right racist groups and causes. There are already several unhappy reviews related to Tankerly fat-shaming and bullying a teenage girl as an internet troll.

Yeah just all around POS.

Keystone United Exposed Day 14: David Phillips and Peggy Caterino

from Philly Antifa

Philly neo-nazis Peggy Caterino and David Phillips. Phillips is a Keystone State Skinheads member. Phillips has multiple visible nazi tattoos in this pic, including 2 swastikas and an Aryan Terror Brigade tattoo.

David Phillips and Peggy Caterino are longtime neo-nazis and Keystone United affiliates living in Philadelphia. Phillips is also a Keystone State Skinheads member. Phillips first hit our radar after one of his nazi “brothers” gouged his eyes out during a horrific assault in his home in 2012, stemming from jealousy related to Phillips offering to take “his girlfriend” out while the other nazi was in jail. See, that’s the shit our side just don’t do. Don’t believe false equivalencies, folks.

At the time, Phillips was a member of the notorious train-wreck of a nazi crew, Aryan Terror Brigade, led by Josh “I had racist tattooed on my forehead” Steever until Steever was kicked out under allegations of being an informant. Steever even posted on Stormfront at the time claiming that Antifa were responsible for the assault on Phillips in an attempt to get donations. However, Phillips was definitely also associating with KSS at that time.

David Phillips (l) with Philly KSS members not long before the attack that left him blinded.

Phillips has a long history of criminal charges for things such as ethnic intimidation, weapons and drug possession, robbery and assault.

Associations with Phillips and Aryan Terror Brigade is just another piece of proof that KSS’ media-friendly image of “non-violent white nationalist activists” is total bullshit. ATB members were involved in an attack on a South Asian family in East Brunswick,NJ on New Year’s Eve 2011, and a splinter group from ATB, Aryan Strike Force, which includes Steever, are currently being indicted for planning to send a suicide bomber into the Antifa protest of the National Socialist Movement rally in Harrisburg, PA in 2016. The very same rally that Keystone State Skinheads was helping run security for because it included their close ally Matthew Heimbach. Tell us again how Antifa are terrorists?

Despite being blinded for life, Phillips doubled down on White Supremacy and joined KSS. Phillips has entered a domestic partnership with Peggy Caterino, another neo-nazi and active supporter of Keystone United. Caterino was present at the nazi band The Blue Eyed Devil’s show that Keystone United just put on in in Central PA on Sept. 15th.
