InJekt Division is a lesser known neo-nazi accelerationist crew styled similarly to Atomwaffen Division (AWD), that was founded by Texas native Coleman Thomas âKorbâ Blevins. (More reading about far-right accelerationism can be found here). Blevins was radicalized on âTerrorgramâ, a loose connection of Telegram accelerationist nazi and white supremacist channels that encourage and plan decentralized violence attacks across the globe, and founded InJekt Division shortly after. Blevins was later arrested by the federal government in 2021 for plotting a mass shooting at a Texas Walmart and was sentenced to 60 months prison for the plot.
Blevins, the founder of InJekt Division, featured in a post from one of the groupâs public Telegram channels.
InJekt Division is decentralized and operates in a loose cell structure. They are active nation wide in the United States, with membership concentrated in certain areas like Texas, New Hampshire, Louisiana, Massachusetts, California, and the NY/PA/NJ tristate area. Their goal is to cause the decline of civilization/society through nazi accelerationism; provoking a race war and causing general violence. Their logo is a shield with a needle, referencing Blevinsâ prior history as a heroin addict. Their slogan âPray for Rainâ, which references their hope for nuclear war, is often accompanied by their logo and a militarized nazi figure.

InJekt Division has at least five semi-public facing Telegram channels, their InJekt Division (ID) Channel, Chernobyl Media (CM) Channel, Embrace Division (ED) Channel, Rev Quotes (RQ) Channel, and their Esoteric Thoughts (ET) Channel. Each channel focuses on a different topic, from recruitment/flashy propaganda, to âeducationâ based national socialist materials, memes, inspirational quotes, or doxxes of other national socialists they have issues with. Each channel is also connected to several different private chats, meaning what InJekt puts out to the public is strategic with some security practices in mind.
InJekt Division Telegram channels. Their âEDâ, or Embrace Division channel, is a sub crew that was created from the larger InJekt Division group. The â94â mentioned in the post specifically applies to the ED crew.
InJekt Divisionâs âRQâ or Rev Quotes Telegram channel. This channel features quotes from Blevins and other notorious neo-nazis.
InJekt Divisionâs âCMâ or Chernobyl Media channel. This channel produces the majority of InJektâs propaganda.
InJekt Division also has a cult of personality around their founder Blevins, who is featured across all channels. Blevins is believed to be in direct contact with a few close members given the rate in which propaganda is being produced. Blevins is still serving his 60 month sentence in federal custody.

InJekt Division has long-running beef with several fascist occult branded Terrorgram crews, such as Order of 9 Angels (O9A), Harm Nation, and 764. These crews are often covered on their ET, or Esoteric Thoughts channel. InJekt Division is opposed to these emerging online fascist occult groups, due to the fact that they often pose as a front for child exploitation rings.
InJekt Division posts about their hatred of the many Terrorgram occult fascist groups.
InJekt Division has made a point of denouncing these groups and doxxing their members, in addition to exposing pedophiles within the larger national socialist scene. They even doxxed local nazi and sexual predator Ben Ryder. Understanding the differences between InJekt Division and the nazi occult groups is vital to understanding how both groups operate. They may have commonalities on the surface but their respective principles, goals, tactics, and organizational strategy differ greatly.
Despite their decentralized structure, InJekt Division has key individuals who help run the organization and disseminate propaganda. One such individual is an unidentified Telegram user that goes by the handle 126/edits-props-quotes.(archive). Their main role is to create the groups graphics and disseminate them anonymously through their account and the 126 ID Productions Telegram Channel.
A primary aspect of InJekt Divisionâs Telegram presence is to bring attention to their crew, recruit new members, and build a loyal base of young followers prepared to follow their accelerationist ideology to its logical conclusion. InJektâs propaganda reflects this goal, being flashy and topical. Young adults and minors are their prime target for recruitment.
A collection of propaganda geared towards InJektâs target audience of minors and young adults. They typically feature a militia styled nazi figure with a firearm, 90âs vaporwave aesthetic images with a nazi twinge, and edgy graffiti.
Additional propaganda which plays on young fascistsâ feelings of powerlessness.
It is well known within US national socialist spheres that InJekt Division allows and recruits minors within its membership. Evidence of which can be seen below.
Nazis in a S14 chat discussing InJekt Divisionâs recruitment policies.
One major way InJekt Division targeted young adults and youth for recruitment in 2023 was by hacking adult film star Riley Reidâs social media accounts via a SIM swap attack. In doing so they were able to use Reidâs accounts to advertise InJekt Division to millions of her followers. It is not known if there are any current members who are minors, but while they target those in their teens and 20âs, there is no age requirement for membership, meaning they have a large potential recruiting pool.
InJekt Division has a sizeable fan base amongst the far-right, with all sorts of white nationalists reposting their content, including local crews like S14 and the now defunct Embrace Struggle Social Club.

Within the far-right however, the ratio of fans vs. actual members is not proportional. This is because InJekt Division is exclusive about who they let in and gaining membership is an involved process. Membership is not something that can simply be claimed. Prospective members go through an extensive vetting process and must prove themselves and their commitment to InJekt Division/nazi accelerationism in the real world.
So far antifascists have identified well-known neo nazis Scotlyn Schmitt and Mathew Bair, both of PA, as official members of InJekt Division.
Scotlyn Schmitt, confirmed InJekt Division member.
Mathew Bair, confirmed InJekt Division Member.
Schmitt, while very young at 20 years old, made a massive impression on InJekt Divisionâs leadership. Like other nazi accelerationist crews, InJekt Division, follows a paternalistic set of fascist principles, generally viewing women in a chauvinistic way, meaning White women are typically barred from membership. Due to Schmittâs involvement in running different Terrorgram accounts, her commitment to nazi accelerationism, and connections to Dallas Humber, Blevins, and AWDâs founder Brandon Russell, InJekt Division made an exception for Schmitt and allowed her to join.

Schmitt trolling people online as a member of InJekt Division.
Schmitt has also been instrumental to the group given her background and is considered a major player. She has connections to nazis on the East coast, West coast, Mid-West, and the South. Schmitt was last spotted around the York PA area in July 2024 and has reportedly been bouncing around the continental US since then.
Bair, with a far less impressive resume, joined Injekt Division in 2022 as his opportunities with other nazi accelerationist groups like Blood Tribe fizzled out. While against InJekt Divisionâs internal security protocols, Bair has been promoting his involvement all over Telegram.
Bairâs personal Telegram account. He recently updated his profile pic to him posing with his InJekt Division flag.
Bair, a resident of South Eastern PA, runs a personal nazi shit post account called the Sons of Pennsylvania. Note Bairâs InJekt Division hat on top of a series of firearms.
These pictures from Bairâs personal Telegram account and his Sons of Pennsylvania account, confirm his general membership status within InJekt Division.
Bair took these photos while visiting Falling Waters, a famous Frank Lloyd Wright house in PA.
Bair cross posted several photos from his trip to Falling Waters to different Telegram accounts, including the ED InJekt Division channel, as evident by the photo in the top right corner. Bairâs brazen actions also confirm his position as a leader of the ED sub crew within InJekt Division. Given Bairâs attitude and status in the ED sub crew, the cringe worthy back tattoo pictured earlier in the piece is more than likely his.
With the recent arrests of high level Terrorgram nazis, Dallas Humber and Matthew Allison, the state is closing in on fascist accelerationist groups. Allison and Humber had no sense of operational security (opsec), which enabled the federal government to trace their illicit activities and arrest them. In comparison, Schmitt and Bair have worse opsec, so itâs a wonder how they have been able to escape a federal indictment up until this point. Regardless, Bairâs, Schmittâs, and InJekt Divisionâs time of acting with impunity ends here. Every single one of you will be held responsible.
This is a very lazy response to the recent piece “Some Questions To Be Addressed Before Milwaukee and the Bay”. I agree with most of the critiques about scene-iness and the resurgence of Bash Back! etc. What is disappointing about this piece is the criticism of the muay thai smoker,as it is clear that wither the report back from the smoker was not read or disregarded. In the report back from the smoker (https://anon.to/shxgbn), it is stated that the warehouse space that it was held in was squatted (i.e. not reserved). It also explains that the smoker was organized explicitly as not part of Bash Back!, in part due to similiar criticisms addressed in “Some Questions…”. I’m curious if/how this criticism changes with some of the points of critique also being critiques in the same vein. With the additional information presented by the report back in mind, these points fall flat. Of course the critique that the proles did not stroll in some orgy of riotous destruction where we fucked each other in the stench of gasoline atop the ashes of UPenn, falling like snow in the light breeze, as we caught the flickering of flames in the darkness of our comrades eyes… or whatever holds true. The smoker was a different girl tho, those weren’t her desires for that night, she doesn’t even go to UPenn. If one desires Bash Back!(TM), the secret is to really begin đ
from Bash Back News
If we name a tendency, how do we make that tendency spread like fire? How can we make that tendency escape the dead-ends of liberal identity politics and/or academia and/or activism? How will we find commonality with forms-of-life that bash back? How can we make this world explode?
Is our violence of substance or of image? Are we joking when we write about violence?
What is meant by that picture of beautiful people holding baseball bats and sledge hammers? Is this symbolism? Is it real? Does it mean anything to bash back?
-Some Questions to be Addressed Before the 2010 Bash Back! Convergence in Denver
The return of Bash Back! in the fall of 2023 with its international convergence in Chicago (the first of its kind in roughly fifteen years) excited and drew in many queer anarchists and anti-authoritarians with promises of âorgies and riotsâ; not a mere reunion, but seemingly a return to form for the networktendencyganghoweveryouwanttoconceiveofit. And while, in many cases, Chicago set a good tone for the nature of what Bash Back! was to mean in the new context in which we find ourselves, it is important that we continue to be very clear and intentional about what exactly we mean when we say âBash Back!â and when we talk about being violent faggots. We must not let ourselves be so overcome with the glamour and excitement of âdoing a bash backâ that we lose sight of what this means, or rather, what it could (or should?) mean: sheer, unrelenting, anti-social conflictuality. It would be both counterproductive, misleading, and to some, demoralizing, to take on the image of âorgies and riotsâ and bring forth only parties, dances, and otherwise chill hangs.
We are not inherently subversive simply through our identities as queers, trannies, faggots, anarchists, punks, dykes, or any combination therein. To accept this, even tacitly, is to accept the liberal identity politics of those we supposedly seek to destroy, to simply want our own aesthetically cool and edgy subcultural niche within this industrial death march called civilization and its society. Do our desires begin and end with an endless trawl of âanarchistâ dance parties, galas, fashion shows, raves, or private warehouse sex parties (even if they are fun!). If they are indeed present, what of our desires to see this society destroyed and this civilization reduced to ashes under our feet? When will we trade mere subculture for an anti-culture, one foaming at the mouth for war; one that seeks to ravage the social order, one with a wild fuse, seeking to blow itself up at any moment? For how long will we settle merely for campfires on the rave pier while deferring to set them in the streets, the banks, the factories, the prisons? Are we to simply throw parties until the next wave of social unrest comes, or will we be that social unrest?
Before going on, it must be stated clearly: this critique is written with the utmost love, respect, and appreciation to those who organized the Northeastern Bash Back! Regional convergence in Philadelphia this past spring. Taking on organizing a regional Bash Back! convergence is a massive organizational undertaking to say the least, and there is a ton of work that must go into planning and putting on something like that! And for that, many thanks and kudos go out those who made it happen, especially in the short order that it occurred after the Chicago convergence and the proceeding call for regional convergences. However, in the rush, excitement, and stress of putting on something like this and asking the logistical questions of âhow, when, who, and what,â it is easy to forget to ask âWhy?â Once again, what does it mean for us to âBash Back!â?
âIs our violence of substance or of image?â When the queer anarchist Muay Thai smoker is happening and at least one hundred of us collectively chant âA-, Anti, Anticapitalistaâ, â1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Fuck 12!â, and âDeath to America, Death to Israel!â between rounds in the safety of the reserved warehouse space, the painfully liberal UPenn encampment sleeps quietly on the university lawn two miles away. What if this clear sense of rage, conviction, and unity of purpose in our chants was channeled into an opportunity for a surprise attack against the university, its presumably vulnerable and unsuspecting police forces, or the upscale businesses surrounding the university? What could it have meant to turn the joy of the fight club into the jouissance of a rampage? This is not to imply that the Philly organizers simply did not care about the conflictual and insurrectionary nature of Bash Back!, and in fact, they probably wanted people to bring said energy. Unfortunately though, this energy is not always as spontaneous as we would like. Moreover, it didnât help that any nods to these insurrectional desires were literally tacked-on at the back end of the daily schedule. In the information zines handed out at the convergence, listed after every dayâs events was the following: â11PMâLate: Autonomously Organized Late Night Fun.â Although the implication and intentionality was somewhat clear, the actualization was far from so. This led many interested parties to confusedly wander around the convergence, asking any Philly BB!ers they could find if there was anything that was actually planned for that night, or even if anyone knew of any particularly relevant or vulnerable targets (which were also notably absent from the distributed zine). Such inqueries were usually met with, âOh, I think they are just expecting people to go do stuff on their own.â Of course, by this point, it was much too late for anyone from out of town to plan and carry out anything substantial. Regardless of the organizersâ intentions, it seemed that any real conflictuality had taken a backseat to hangouts, parties, dances, and movie screenings. To be clear: to realistically expect out-of-towners, many of whom may have never lived in Philadelphia for any period of time, with comparatively little (or completely nonexistent) knowledge of the political, social, or literal terrain to autonomously organize âlate night fun,â is at very best a severe miscalculation and at worst, utter laziness.
Others have guessed that this omission of conflictuality may have been actually been intentional, with some organizers prioritizing a need to ârest and recuperate.â Considering the current political climate, this desire, and others like it that focus on ~building connections~ and networking for bigger, more confrontational (and more importantly, presently imaginary) encounters in the ~future~, seems both confusing and out of touch. There are so many others who continue to courageously and tirelessly fight in the here and now. And far be it from this critique to lay out a measured response to the increasing prevalence of the care-pilled âpolitics of rest and compassionâ that seems to be further creeping into anarchist spaces, it is important to remind ourselves that this moment of re-emergence, especially in the context of all that surrounds us, is a critical one. A moment where it is up to us to decide if this thing will merely be consumed by the narcissistic myopia of subculture, and consequently cynically recuperated liberal identity politicians and grifters parroting lines about âQueers Bashing Backâ until they or their audiences tire of the fashion. Or, does it instead take the anti-social turn of a destructive, unnameable, nihilistic queerness that truly destabilizes the nature of identity and the social order, refusing the repackaging of its violence into mere aesthetics, its lust for incendiary jouissance into a social nightlife, its negativity into âmutual aid projectsâ?

đ”đž UPENN IS COMPLICIT IN THE PALESTINIAN GENOCIDE
At the heart of campus, the Benjamin Franklin Statue stands proudly as a symbol of imperial violence and colonialism.
This morning, an autonomous group poured red paint over the statue: a visual reminder of the over 186,000 martyrs and the universityâs complicity in genocide.
The University has tried to supress the student intifada, supressing Palestinian voices, all in the name of âcampus safety.â There are NO Universities left in Gaza. There are NO first days. The education system of Gaza has been systematically destroyed, and the genocide has only expanded.
DISCLOSE. DIVEST. THE STUDENTS WILL NOT STOP, THE STUDENT MOVEMENT WILL NOT BE STOPPED. UNTIL PALESTINE IS FREE.

Philadelphia, PA â Protesters opposing the ongoing Israeli genocide in occupied Palestine are gathering near the security perimeter erected outside the National Constitution Center â the site of the first debate between 2024 presidential candidates Kamala Harris (D) and Donald Trump (R). A call to âshut down the presidential debate for Gazaâ was announced by the Philly Palestine Coalition to rally at City Hall, which is east of the debate site.
Pennsylvania is considered the largest swing state in the presidential election. The statewide winner will take all 19 electoral votes. Street closures entered effect Tuesday morning on Arch and Market streets between 4th and 7th streets in Philadelphiaâs historic Old City east of Center City. Eastbound lanes of the Benjamin Franklin Bridge are also closed. Watch our live coverage.
While Trump has promised he would help Israel âfinish the problemâ in Gaza, the Biden administration, which includes Kamala Harris as Vice President, has repeatedly gone out of its way to continue arming, funding and politically supporting Israel throughout its deliberate mass killings of displaced civilian children, women and men alongside the targeting of life-supporting infrastructure in Gaza, including the destruction of hospitals and water treatment plants and the torture of healthcare workers.
As of September 10, at least 41,020 Palestinian residents of Gaza have been reported killed and 94,925 injured, while 692 Palestinians in the West Bank were killed and more than 5,700 injured. At least 1,139 Israelis have been killed and 8,730 injured, according to Al Jazeera, based on regional agenciesâ data.
Protests outside the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee in July criticized Trump and the Republican Partyâs alignment with Israelâs racist and far-right government; demonstrations during the Democratic National Convention in Chicago late last month highlighted the fact that no Palestinians were allowed to speak onstage at the partyâs national gathering.
Clips below from Milwaukee and Chicago highlight the scope of Palestine protests that have been the most visible element of dissension around the presidential race.
While paying lip service to talk of a ceasefire, the Biden-Harris administration has continued directly enabling Israel despite the International Court of Justiceâs findings that allegations of genocide are âplausibleâ in regards to the invasion of Gaza and that Israelâs occupation of Palestine is illegal under international human rights law and should be ended.
Recent reporting has also shown that Israeli authorities are subjecting Palestinians held in crowded administrative detention camps such as Sde Teiman to rape and torture at a mass scale â a revelation that has apparently not impacted Harrisâ public, unconditional support for Israel in recent media appearances.

Coworkers, comrades, and fellow labor activistsâwishing you a restful Labor Day weekend!
In keeping with our radical political traditions, we put our activist energies into May Day, not Labor Day. This doesnât mean that we havenât been craving a rest from the bone-aching grind of our labor. In our WSA branch, we are furniture movers, home workers, pink collar assistants, and healthcare workers. We all need a rest from exhaustion. This three day weekend is needed to recover.
Labor Day was fought for and won by workers. But we also know that this is far from enough. Itâs a drop in the bucket.
Labor Day, with its parades and picnics, took the shape of a more capitalism-friendly alternative to the more radical May Day that was characterized by street protests and strikes.
While we focus our eyes on May Day, you will still see us with friends at local Labor Day events, re-affirming the community aspects of our work lives. We need to recuperate in preparation for amplifying workplace voices and building relationships. As we know, building relationships is the heart of organizing. So, strike up the grill. But tomorrow, we build the General Strike !Â
From Philly Metro WSAÂ
âWe are committed to building a future rooted in a classless and stateless society, where we, as working people, create workplace and community democracies that prioritize human needs over profits for the few. Our vision is a world free from the social oppressions of racism, sexism, and queerphobia. Through our revolutionary unions, we will transform the nature of work, paving the way to our collective liberation.â

Heavy Machinery Sabotaged at Hadddington Golf Course â Philadelphia, PA
August 19, 2024
The perennial struggle against development in Haddington and throughout Philadelphia continues. Weeks ago we sabotaged heavy machinery used for construction at the Haddington golf course construction site by introducing bleach into the filtration and fuel systems. We send solidarity to the saboteurs carrying out attacks at Kingsessing, Bartrams, FDR, and other sites of development and gentrification.
Free the land!
Free the city!
From: Unravel.noblogs.org
A Response to âHeavy Machinery Sabotaged at Haddington Golf Courseâ
A note on sabotage of heavy machinery: please donât waste your time messing with fuel or filtration systems. The idea of adding something to a fuel tank is (unfortunately) a widely known sabotage technique that the average person might think of, but it is most likely ineffective on modern vehicles or heavy equipment. Filtration systems are designed to filter out contaminants.
Bleach is typically added to engine oil. The rule of thumb is to add 10 fluid ounces of bleach per gallon of engine oil. This equals one gallon of bleach per 12.8 gallons of engine oil, which should be enough for an average-sized piece of heavy machinery. Larger machines will need more, smaller machines will need less. You may want to look up the specifications of the particular models of equipment on site to be sure of their fluid capacities.
The fuel is probably the least sensitive fluid in the machine; in addition to engine oil, try messing with the transmission fluid, hydraulic fluid, or exhaust fluid. For starter ideas on what to add to these fluids, check out this old Dear Ned Ludd column. [https://efmechanicsguild.wordpress.com/2016/09/06/a-nice-dear-ned-ludd-from-an-ef-journal-last-year/]
Have fun out there!
From:Â Phlanticap.noblogs.org
Excerpt from the mentioned column:
etâs talk about the engines of tractor trailers used for hauling innocents to slaughter and the lab, pulling the wild from the wilderness, and delivering the ingredients of every destructive endeavor sick, corporate, profit-driven minds can concoct. These trailers move the dozers that level the land and the ships that strip life from the ocean. If anything keeps me awake it is the incessant drone from giant poison-containing, toxin-spewing engines; the heart of the machine.
Engine oil can be contaminated by many things, and the other fluids they contain or run on do not mix well with others⊠kind of like old-guard EF!ers at a dub step show. Hell, I donât even need to haul around bleach most nights. (Bleach destroys the viscosity of oil and does some fun, expensive shit, too).
Engine Oil:
Engine oil hates water, especially when mixed with antifreeze. Water, because it will not compress, breaks gears. Antifreeze may taste like candy, but it does horrible shit to your bodyâ do not ingest! Engine oil also hates fuel, which thins it out and makes the engine wear out and break. If either water or fuel are found in oil then there must be a problem with the engine and it needs to be opened to check.
Cost to repair: Up to $15,000 for a semi; MUCH more for heavy equipment.
Transmission Fluid:
Hates antifreeze; it destroys the main components in the transmission and the glue that holds connections together.
Cost to repair: $5,000+ for trucks; HOLY SHIT for heavy equipment.
Hydraulic Fluid:
HATES water, antifreeze, and diesel exhaust fluid (DEF; more on that stuff later). Adding water will break shit internally; DEF clogs small control passages over time.
Cost to repair: $3,000 and up.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF):
Made of pig urine from the slaughterhouse, this stuff is supposed to help clean the exhaust on trucks. Itâs on the tank near the fuel cap, and has a blue lid. It is nasty, and antifreeze thinks so too. This stuff will kill a radiator and clog up the tiny spaces inside an engine fast. Looks like water, and gallon jugs of the stuff can be found in open trucks on construction sites so use your imagination. Causes a lot more damage than rice or dry flake mashed potatoes in the radiator. Do not ingest or get DEF on youâŠ. beyond the fact that it is very refined pig urine, it is poisonous.
Cost to repair: $2,000 to $6,000 for trucks; heavy equipment easily $5,000 to $?!!!!
Diesel:
As above, bad for oil, but also BAD in the diesel exhaust fluid tank. Modern exhaust systems are delicate, so contaminating the DEF tank with fuel will cause extensive damage to the system. Because of this, the newest exhaust sensors are designed to shut down the truck when diesel is found. To extract diesel from a machine, all one would need is a small suction hose, a siphon, and maybe a bottle to catch the fuel in.
SAFETY NOTE!!!! Donât use your mouth for this!!! Besides leaving evidence, a lot of the chemicals and fluids in an engine will kill your ass.
Cost to repair: $1,000â$10,000 if internal component are damaged.

Bleach is typically added to engine oil. The rule of thumb is to add 10 fluid ounces of bleach per gallon of engine oil. This equals one gallon of bleach per 12.8 gallons of engine oil, which should be enough for an average-sized piece of heavy machinery. Larger machines will need more, smaller machines will need less. You may want to look up the specifications of the particular models of equipment on site to be sure of their fluid capacities.
The fuel is probably the least sensitive fluid in the machine; in addition to engine oil, try messing with the transmission fluid, hydraulic fluid, or exhaust fluid. For starter ideas on what to add to these fluids, check out this old Dear Ned Ludd column. [https://efmechanicsguild.wordpress.com/2016/09/06/a-nice-dear-ned-ludd-from-an-ef-journal-last-year/]
Have fun out there!
Submission
The perennial struggle against development in Haddington and throughout Philadelphia continues. Weeks ago we sabotaged heavy machinery used for construction at the Haddington golf course construction site by introducing bleach into the filtration and fuel systems. We send solidarity to the saboteurs carrying out attacks at Kingsessing, Bartrams, FDR, and other sites of development and gentrification.
Free the land!
Free the city!
