Patrick Landon, Neo-Nazi exposed in Southern Illinois, part of the “White Lives Matter” movement

We have the extreme displeasure in introducing you to Patrick Landon, a Neo-Nazi in the “White Lives Matter” movement living in Lenzburg, a small town in southern Illinois near St. Louis, MO. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

1312UnitedAgainstFascism bring you this article in collaboration with Chicago Antifascist Action. Thanks to numerous anonymous antifascist contributors to this exposé on this neo-nazi.

 

Patrick Landon, using the alias’s “Speed Maker” and “Hans Ulrich” is an active member and admin of the Illinois chapter of White Lives Matter(WLM) fascist movement. WLM is a neo-nazi movement with chapters across the US. We have action items at the bottom of this article, including info on how to keep your community safe from white nationalists like Patrick Landon.

All it takes to be a WLM loser is mandatory “activism”; entry level is participating in things like stickering and banner drops. But leaders in WLM want aspiring nazis to graduate to larger meetups and increased targeted harassment. Sometimes WLM nazis will take their hate to incredibly dangerous and violent levels, such as Aimen Penny who as recently as April 2023 firebombed a church that was scheduled to host a drag show, and also Joshua Isgrigg, a neo-nazi from Porterville, CA who was caught with 100+ lbs of bomb-making materials in 2020, now back on the streets and still doing WLM and Active Club networks in Sacramento .

WLM “activists” will also network with other white-supremacist organizations such as Asatru Folk Assembly, Patriot Front, Proud Boys, Three Percenter , Goyim Defense League, Project 171, + Christopher Pohlhaus’s nazi cult “Blood Tribe”. These white supremacist groups sometimes have overlapping members, and often will rally alongside each other, such as most recently when a gathering of nearly a hundred nazis from multiple inter-state fascist organizations coalesced  in a ‘protest’ outside an all-ages “Rock-n-Roll Humanist Drag Queen Story Hour,” in Akron, Ohio.

Although the veneer is different with each group, they share the same goals of a fascist totality. They might differ on which messaging is most effective to achieve their goals, but they all intend to harm the most marginalized communities in society and are opportunist in their organizing. If they believe they can swoop in on anti-queer sentiments mainstreamed by GOP messaging, they will be at drag shows, intimidating and making propaganda videos for recruitment. They believe this is the best moment they will have in  years, so they are out most every weekend  in areas where antifascists haven’t ran them out yet.

WLM organizations encourage their members to join  “Active Clubs”, fitness / fight clubs for nazis, inspired by the neo-nazi “Rise Above Movement” lead by recently arrested Robert Rundo. More on “Active Clubs” documented here, here, here, and here.

Speaking of doxes..

WLM Illinois is a fairly small chapter, with only 2 or 3 core members, of which Patrick Landon is one of. They have trouble recruiting, demoralized as they have been infiltrated and exposed again and again. When they are not griping to each other about constantly getting doxxed by Antifa, occasionally these chuds meet up…at nationally coordinated WLM “Days Of Action”.

Patrick Landon and other fascists attempt to boost recruitment into the nazi movement by inserting nazi messaging into right wing culture war grievances, this dog-whistling called “blackpilling”. Patrick Landon is attempting to capitalize on the wave of anti-LGTBQ+ animus  mainstreamed by the GOP to drive recruitment, nazis have admitted exactly this. Sometimes nazis invent front groups, like the WLM / Proud Boy collab “Project 171”, a ‘single issue anti-Grooming org’ to recruit normie chuds into their projects. It’s why neo-nazis are so prevalent at anti-LGTBQ hate rallies, but it’s also because attacking to eliminate the queer community is part of the project of nazism going back to the early 1930’s in Weimer and Nazi Germany. Now, the anti-trans agenda is platformed Musk who through hostile acquisition Twitter to disingenuously promote ‘free speech’ by banning antifascists, reinstating twitter nazis and amplifying transphobic grifters and fascists. More on the anti-queer anti trans pillar of nazism here.

Around the country, WLM Nazis join other white supremacists and bigots in harassing drag shows., even drawing guns and pointing at trans-rights activists and drag defenders while cops look on and do nothing.

WLM also emulates tactics of the KKK in dropping recruitment flyers into plastic baggies weighted down with rice, as recently as 2019 in southern IL. But this year in January 2023, a member of WLM Illinois, Patrick Landon’s nazi crew, packed anti-Semitic flyers in plastic baggies and threw onto parking lots in Chicago’s west suburban Winfield, IL, filled with a material believed to be rat poison, the same day as a gun rights rally was held less then a mile away.

Patrick Landon is an active neo-nazi & admin of White Live Matter Illinois Telegram channel. Patrick Landon and other members of WLM use this right-wing social media app to communicate, coordinate, recruit, and  disseminate white supremacist propaganda to the larger far-right internet ecosphere. More on Telegram’s role in facilitating the fascist networks often dubbed ‘terrorgram’ here, here, here, here, and here 

Patrick Landon made the very careless mistake of posting too many personal details in his nazi and public lifee, which researchers were able to identify, compare and confirm. Patrick Landon’s “Speed Maker” nickname (and specialty license plate) comese from how he used to make and distribute methamphetamine. His carelessness also implicated his fellow nazis, more on them later, but for now let’s take a closer look at Patrick Landon.

In 2010, Patrick Landon was sentenced to 10 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections for making and selling meth. He was released in 2018, more on Patrick Landon’s arrest here.

 

Per state records, Patrick Landon did not have his swastika tattoo at the time of his intake to Illinois Department of Corrections. The tattoo itself looks like it was done by hand, which could indicate he got it in prison. The swastika tattoo also partially covers up an  even shittier tattoo of the chemical structure of meth.

Upon release from prison, Patrick Landon started chatting with nazis on fascist telegram. Now he is coordinating monthly Days of Action with other WLM members. On 6/20/22, he was first was noticed in the WLM Illinois chat and he’s moved up the ranks, currently an admin and one of the most active members of the chapter. Amusingly, WLM Missouri confirm that 95% of WLM activism comes from two people.

Here is Patrick Landon with two other Illinois White Lives Matter nazis standing on a downtown corner in Granite City, Illinois. We know it is him because he wears the same clothes as seen on his public Instagram.

Patrick Landon and an unidentified Illinois WLM nazi stand on a downtown corner in Granite City, Illinois. His clothes seen on his public Instagram are a perfect match.  They are the same person. Here are other times Patrick Landon spread nazi propaganda around Illinois.

 

In this last series photo, you can see part of Patrick Landon’s shitty hand tattoo as he places a WLM sticker across the street from a children’s playground during a WLM day of action sticker operation. Patrick Landon’s hand tattoo matches to his public instagram.

Patrick Landon is Hans Ulrich

Here is how Patrick Landon gave the game away and revealed himself to be “Hans Ulrich”, one of the admins of White Lives Matter IL.

 

In the above pictures, you can see Patrick Landon shares a selfie of himself on a dirt bike stickered recently with a unique image of the Furies character from the movie Warriors set before the Iron Cross- it’s the same dirt bike from the video that Hans Ulrich submitted for the IL WLM channel for monthly “activism”. The  “Anti-Antifa” sticker is also the same image Hans Ulrich uses on this since deleted Facebook profile.

 

Another tip were these crossovers between Hans Ulrich’s Facebook and Patrick’s personal Instagram.

And just to toss in one more, see telegram comment from 7/2/22, and his post from his personal Instagram four days earlier on 6/28/22 –

Here are some other interesting leaked screenshots from the WLM IL channel.

Patrick Landon’s Employer and Action Items

According to his public Facebook and Instagram, since January 2022, Patrick Landon has been working as an Grain Inspector for Illinois Official Grain Inspection, a sub-company of North Dakota Grain Inspection, where, on company time, he prints and cuts neo-nazi WLM stickers. We are recommending for people to contact Patrick’s employer and politely demand that they fire this active neo-nazi.  It is alarming that Patrick Landon works at a company involved in infrastructure considering that far right accelerationists are advocating for and attacking infrastructure in this country, crumbling under fascism +  neoliberalism alike.

Action Items!

Contact Illinois Official Grain Inspection, let them know about the their white nationalist grain inspector, politely ask them to fire Patrick Landon. Link to this article for verification of his nazism.

Send any info about Patrick Landon or any other nazis in your area to 1312UnitedAgainstFascism@protonmail.com, or other antifascists working in your area to expose neo-nazis in your area.

Nazis can fucking quit anytime – comrades at Atlanta Antifascists provide a how-to on getting out and offer resources for de-radicalization available. There indeed is life after hate. But if nazis stick around long enough, they will be doxxed, the fallout will be disavowal from their friends and family, job termination, eviction, and much, much more than one can ever imagine.  You risk everything and gain nothing, it’s all downhill from there.

Fuck Patrick Landon.

 

 

authors’ note on addiction, alienation, anti-fascism, abolition,

Antifascists must work towards abolition- we are serious about ending the prison industrial complex, the modern plantation, the pigs. At any given moment in this fascist country there are over 2 million incarcerated people who are functionally disappeared from society with nearly all their rights removed. They’re exploited, tortured, killed by the system in modern-day slave plantations. This injustice system was built to incarcerate black and brown peoples and uphold white supremacist class structures, but at times even poor white people get caught up in the maws of this brutal carceral nation. Sadly, instead of uniting in common cause against their common oppressors, white people often double down on their racism; with prison as an the uber-segregated microcosm of racist society. Prison creates a pipeline to nazism, exacerbating their commitment to their deranged worldviews. Guards and staff at prisons are often nazis themselves, and often are close with nazi gangs and offer privileges to white prisoners.

Patrick Landon was imprisoned at Graham Correctional Center in Hillsboro, IL, where in 1993 a guard planned a Ku Klux Rally and promoted to other guards at the prison. We can theorize Patrick followed the footsteps of many white prisoners, radicalized while in the loving redemptive supervision of the state.

Consider the investigation and arrests of the January 6th rioters as a kind of case study on the failure of neoliberal responses to fascism: the carceral ‘solutions’ are worthless and demonstrate why they are not tools for antifascists or abolitionists. In the fallout of January 6th, the rich and powerful leaders of the failed coup attempt have escaped largely unscathed, and Trump is still the front-runner for the GOP in the 2024 US elections. While the foot soldier chuds have been thrown under the bus, the sentences that the maga rioters are receiving are far lower than that faced by peoples usually in the crosshairs of the injustice system. Many arrested have already been released and believe that their actions were justified, now part  of an in-group of ‘Patriots’, fellow victims of a “Democrat Gulag”. Some are even running for public office! That the jan6 rioters still in jail are crying unfair treatment, having their constitutional rights removed as a result of pre-trial incarceration, while they actually are in the nicer wing of the DC jail displays an important hypocrisy about self-proclaimed “law and order” types-they don’t want equal justice, they care about power. The fascists amusingly cry that there is a two-tier justice system in this  country, nobody for a second thinks that these cries for justice in unfair conditions would be  extended for the general population languishing in these hellhole death-pits. That the January 6th rioters are becoming increasingly radicalized, hailed as martyrs by Trump, the GOP and the MAGA ‘ movement’ demonstrates that prison, in these cases, function as incubators for racists and nazis, speaking to the urgency of the need to end these monstrous and oppressive state torture centers.

Despite the laughably ironic yelps of these fascists in jail, fact is, nobody deserves the monstrous conditions of prison. Consider the alternatives  to incarceration- treatment, not trauma. In order to work towards the vision of abolition, we must build up our communities, bolster our social infrastructure and and remove thee economic and social barriers  that prevent people from living their best, fullest lives and the need for anti-social crimes. We don’t need police, we need preventative solutions, the kinds of which would address the root causes of crime like alienation, addiction, lack of community, housing or healthcare, lack of other basic needs or resources to survive. . If you are having trouble with addiction,  please reach out to friends/family and check these services from Chicago Recovery Alliance or whoever is working in your area.
