White nationalist Andrew Jacob Schwam of Albertville, Alabama died in an accident while working as a lineman on March 18th. Schwam was active as a white supremacist under the online aliases “George Goy”, “Joseph Warren”, and “Samuel GA”. He was part of Patriot Front as Samuel GA” a couple of years ago, while living in northwest Georgia. Leaked Patriot Front messages refer to him possibly rejoining that organization after his move to Alabama:
More recently, Schwam helped the White Lives Matter racist project in Alabama. Schwam’s history as an active white supremacist explains why the racist/antisemitic National Justice Party has been making propaganda over his death, and why a fundraiser for his family has been doing the rounds on racist Telegram channels. Good riddance to this neo-Nazi.
We can now reveal the identity of Patriot Front’s Network Director for “Network VI” (northern Alabama & Georgia, southern Tennessee). Wesley Evan Van Horn of Lexington, Alabama is “Christopher AL” of Patriot Front. He was arrested with 30 other Patriot Front members in Idaho on Saturday, June 11th, 2022.
Wesley Van Horn / “Christopher AL” helped lead a Patriot Front regional training in Tallahassee, Florida in October 2021, where members drilled for Patriot Front’s December 2021 national rally in DC. He was promoted to Patriot Front “Network Director” for his region soon after DC.
In January 2022, internal Patriot Front messages were leaked online by the Unicorn Riot media collective. In those messages, Network Director “Christopher AL” (Wesley Van Horn) provided the locations of every member of his Patriot Front network at the time. He also indicated that he lived in or near Lexington, AL.
Christian Tyler Goggins (born 1993) of Bessemer, Alabama is a member of Patriot Front (PF), a white supremacist and fascist organization whose members justkeepgettingexposed. Goggins goes by the alias “Andrew AL” within the racist group. A trove of PF internal communications that was leaked online in January 2022 clearly identifies Goggins as “Andrew AL”. Goggins participated in PF’s masked national rally in Washington, DC on December 4, 2021 alongside other Alabama members. He also joined PF members in placing propaganda for the organization in Birmingham, Alabama the weekend before that demonstration. Goggins’ online trails connect him to other white supremacist circles such as the neo-Nazi bonehead music scene.
On the Telegram messaging application, Goggins uses the name “Reichneck” –a reference to Hitler’s Third Reich. Goggins chose an image of segregationist politician and four-term governor of Alabama, George Wallace, as his profile picture. The “Reichneck” account is a member of the Telegram group for the White Lives Matter (WLM) racist network in Alabama. While Goggins does not seem particularly active in that network, in his leaked Patriot Front comments Goggins notified other Alabama PF members of an upcoming WLM rally. Goggins’ Telegram account is also a member of the “Southern white nationalists chat group”, which promotes and is closely tied to the white supremacist and Southern secessionist League of the South. In his comments to this chat, Goggins/“Reichneck” defended Patriot Front on February 4, 2021, insisting that Patriot Front was a true “WN [white nationalist] organization” and that nobody could find “a n[****]r or a s[**]c in PF uniform.”

Ian Michael Elliott of Harvest, Alabama is a member of the racist and fascist organization Patriot Front, going by the alias of “Norman AL” within the group. Elliott is also highly active in martial arts: he trains at Triad Martial Arts in Huntsville, Alabama and teaches at Concealed Tactical, a Krav Maga school in Madison, Alabama. In the neo-Nazi “Church of Aryanity” Telegram channel, Elliott – using the alias “Varangian” – states that he spends most of his time “traveling, and training, with White Nationalists”. By sharing his martial arts skills with racist associates, Elliott helps white supremacists prepare for violence against their enemies.
