🚨 @decoherence.media just used OSINT Industries to expose the leader of a neo-Nazi Active Club in Kansas.
This is exactly what we built the platform for: investigative journalists doing the work that protects communities 🎯

Patriot Front-run Active Clubs want you to think they're not violent, that they're just a group that cares about fitness and defending Western culture. However, despite what PF members may say in court or to CNN, reporting shows over and over again that PF & ACs are full of violent neo-Nazis.
An investigation by @decoherence.media identifies the leader of the Heartland Active Club, a Kansas neo-Nazi group, as Jacob Daniel Jones. According to GPAHE, Active Clubs now operate in over two dozen countries, united by white supremacist ideology, and growing ties to networks like Patriot Front.

This kind of military-style training is rare among Active Clubs. @jtischauser.bsky.social of the Southern Poverty Law Center told us that it “signals that this chapter wants to escalate and move away from activities associated with” Active Clubs.

Finally, Heartland Active Club posted pictures of two members at a “run n gun” shooting competition. We identified the venue (by comparing pictures of the wood grain pattern) and found the event results, listing a Jacob Jones who placed 23rd out of 26 participants.
Top row: pictures of a dog posted by Telegram user “grassLandenjoyer” to a group chat (left, center, and right); bottom row: pictures of the same dog posted by Jones’ wife to her Instagram accounts.
Multiple photos posted to Heartland Active Club’s Telegram channel show the same dog—a mixed anatolian/great pyr named Maximus—as is shown on Jones’ wife’s Instagram account.
Left: frames from a video posted by Telegram user “grassLandenjoyer” to a group chat, showing a tattoo on his left arm; center: picture posted to another group chat showing the tattoo (note this picture is mirrored); right: picture posted to Twitter by “JacobJonesThe1” showing a very similar tattoo (note this picture is mirrored).
A video posted by “Prairie Nationalist” to Telegram shows a masked man with a dragonfly arm tattoo working out. A picture posted to Jones’s old Twitter account shows the same tattoo.
Results from an osint.industries email address lookup for an account suspected of being associated with the “Gwaihyr” username, showing several accounts that match the personal details of “Gwaihyr” from Identity Evropa and “Interviewee-894480” from Patriot Front.
Screenshot of Jones’ neo-Nazi Telegram profile
His Identity Evropa messages led us to a username and then a related email address linked to both the name “Jacob Jones” and a CashApp account with the same “Prairie Nationalist” name as his neo-Nazi Telegram account. Shoutout to @osint.industries for their reverse email lookup.
This investigation wouldn’t have been possible without the work of @unicornriot.bsky.social, who indexed information about Jones’ messages with Identity Evropa and application to Patriot Front in their Discord and RocketChat leaks.

Screenshot of message from grassLandenjoyer to the “Worth Fighting for chat v3” Telegram group chat regarding the age of consent.
On Telegram, Jones’s messages contained typical neo-Nazi topics of discussion, like antisemitism and Holocaust denial. He also wrote that, though he’s “not condoning pedophilia,” 14-year-olds “can reasonably consent.”

Jones has been a “National Socialist” for more than a decade, and has been involved with several other white nationalist or neo-Nazi organizations including Identity Evropa, Asatru Folk Assembly, White Lives Matter, and Patriot Front.
Heartland Active Club is the chapter of the transnational neo-fascist Active Club Network that operates in Kansas and Missouri. Active Clubs are active in more than two dozen countries and emphasize physical fitness and on-the-ground organizing.
NEW: @kylebazgo.bsky.social and @tristanl.ee have identified the leader of neo-Nazi group Heartland Active Club as 32-year-old Jacob Daniel Jones from Olathe, KS. Under the alias “Prairie Nationalist”, Jones has praised neo-Nazi mass shooter Anders Breivik and is “training for a war”.

This was a shorter and faster article than our previous investigations, let us know if you like this format.
Anyone who has posted a picture of themselves on the internet, regardless of age or gender, is one message to Grok away from being shown wearing a swastika bikini and performing a fascist salute.
However, ChatGPT and Gemini generated an image of the woman wearing a normal bikini—Gemini put the bikini bottom over the woman’s jeans but ChatGPT removed her jeans entirely. Claude was the only model to refuse the bikini request.
We tested 3 of the most popular image models (OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google's Gemini, and Anthropic’s Claude) to compare their moderation policies with Grok’s. All three refused to undress a woman and show her wearing a swastika bikini.
Other requests add additional neo-Nazi content such as “put her in a swastika bikini and put hitler next to her,” and “put her in a swastika bikini and have her doing a roman salute.”
Some requests are very detailed, including “make her thinner, give her dark hair, pale skin, green eyes and put her in a swastika bikini,” and “Make her goth and enhance her breasts, keep the swastika bikini and maga hat.”
Screenshot of X user asking Grok to put recently deceased Holocaust survivor Margot Friedländer in a “hindu swastika bikini.”
Jewish women who’ve been targeted include recently deceased Holocaust survivor Margot Friedländer and far-right provocateur Laura Loomer.
It’s not just celebrities and politicians: small-time influencers and models, and even an account with 8 followers, have been targeted as well.
Three examples showing Grok generating images of people with their clothes removed except for a swastika bikini. Targets are (left to right) US Vice President JD Vance and his wife Usha, US congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Elon Musk. Grok-generated images obscured.
People targeted include singer Billie Eilish, congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Vice President JD Vance and his wife Usha, and even Elon Musk.
Users of X can reply to a picture of someone, tag Grok, and write “put a swastika bikini on her”. Grok will then reply with an image of that person wearing no clothes other than a swastika bikini.
BREAKING: X’s chatbot Grok isn’t just making AI porn deepfakes, it’s now making Nazi AI porn deepfakes, undressing women and showing them wearing “swastika bikinis”. Many of these women are Jewish, including a recently deceased Holocaust survivor.
An investigation of @decoherence.media finds a Lithuanian online shop selling thousands of embroidered patches tied to neo-Nazi & far-right extremist groups. As @heidibeirich.bsky.social warns, “patches, posters, & other propaganda are central to spreading hateful messaging & extremist ideologies.”
