Last year, we obtained logs from The Base’s chat group on the communication platform Riot. In the chat logs, Francois Kemp, as “cempa,” serves as a South African contact for the group. Several members express a desire to visit SA & view the Suidlanders as a model to emulate.
Norman Spear aka Roman Wolf, the leader of The Base, explains how the Suidlanders’ model is an inspiration for their terror organization. He announces that some members of the Base plan to visit South Africa. “Doomsayeth” is Jerod Elder, a neo-Nazi in California, USA and describes the Suidlanders as his life goal. Read our expose on Jerod Elder here.

Last year, The Base used the platform Discord for their book club discussions. At the time, the group was reading “Siege,” a standard neo-Nazi text for extremists such as Atomwaffen Division members. Recently, the remaining AWD members have publicly shown support for The Base.

One might say that South Africa takes neo-Nazism a little more seriously than the USA. Here, Francois Kemp aka “cempa” describes the use of racial slurs in South Africa and some possible consequences for being exposed.

Our aim is to expose neo-Nazis and the Far Right and disrupt their organizing. By doing this, we seek to decrease their activity, squelch their growth, and lower their threat level to communities.

Nathan Guerrette: Neo-Nazi
“Antisemitism should be common sense, as they stand for everything Fascism opposes.
If you claim to stand with kikes, you’re not a Fascist.”
– Nathan Gurrette, neo-Nazi
Nathan Guerrette is a twenty-year-old Montreal, Canada resident and participant in The Base chat. Using the username “Elksworth,” Nathan communicated with a wide array of white supremacists who shared guides to terrorism and planned violence together. Until recently, he lived in Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada, where he attended Bishop’s University. He recently obtained a Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) certificate, which allows him to teach English abroad. He was employed at Bishop’s University, but recently moved to Montreal following financial troubles and struggles with his poor French language skills. It seems as if Nathan Guerrette is currently employed with Sunlife, an insurance company, and may be providing customer support for their customers. Nathan, who claims to have Finnish heritage, is a dual USA-Canadian citizen, originally from the outskirts of Boston, MA (with family from northern Maine) and moved to Canada for affordable education. He claims to be set to inherit a large swathe of land in Northern Maine and plans to prepare it for “the collapse.”
Nathan was a member of The Base and participated in the chats as “Elksworth.” In the chat, “Elksworth” reveals that he is in Canada, but originally from the United States. He explains that this is only for University, and that he doesn’t pay much since he can claim residency. Earlier in the chat, “Elksworth” introduces himself to his fellow violent fascists as “IronWill,” his Fascist Forge username. Nathan uses a separate username in The Base Book Club Discord server, introducing himself as “Hyperboreansun.”

Nathan Guerrette aka “Elksworth” enters The Base chat and “Doomsayeth” (Jerod M. Elder) and “Norman Spear” welcome him.
Nathan hides his white supremacist activity behind an array of usernames and across multiple sites. One site that he frequents is Reddit, which he interacts as “Elksworth.” His views are on full display here. In one post, Nathan remarks that antisemitism should be ‘common sense.’ Another post is a long-winded rant in which he complains that he, a “unilingual Anglo,” is treated as a second-class citizen in Quebec due to his limited French knowledge, despite being “as Canadian as everyone else.” He has contributed to several explicitly fascist threads, like “r/debatefascism,” and describes himself as an “absolute authoritarian.” Nathan also shows interest in leaving Canada and has posted on Reddit about moving to Seattle or China.
Another Reddit post references the website Fascist Forge, a website created in spring 2018 for the purpose of connecting fascists to one another to organize and ultimately commit acts of violence. Nathan is a contributor to the site and uses the username “IronWill.” He lists his ideology as “National Socialism,” and encourages his fellow fascists to buy cheap land, “so you don’t need the bank for the collapse.” He claims to have already begun preparing for this collapse with his fiancé. His account received attention after he kicked off a conversation about “realistic direct action.” He asked users “Without going Breivik at the moment, what would you say are levels of destruction that can be managed at a lower level?” In one conversation on Fascist Forge, Nathan responds to a user who posted a document called “The Terrorist’s Handbook,” saying “Thanks. Made my day.”

In addition to being a fascist, Nathan is also an unsuccessful musician. He maintains several accounts on music sharing websites, typically as “Elksworth.” He has been part of a number of bands, including “Great Cold Emptiness.” The multi-talented “Elksworth” doesn’t stop there and is also a failed filmmaker and writer. His writing is published on the alt-right site “The Revolutionary Conservative,” which was created by the American neo-Nazi Augustus Invictus, who was scheduled to speak at the deadly Charlottesville rally in 2017. Nathan’s own writing fits right in and could be best described as alt-right trash.

38-year-old Raymond McKinley Hudgins, a retired Marine who claims to work as a contractor, lives in Roseville, Michigan, with his wife, Virginia Beth, 32. They reside in a three-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom home on Normal Street.
But Hudgins is anything but normal. He’s a member of The Base, a white nationalist paramilitary organization hoping to balkanize the United States and divide it up into a series of white ethnostates.
Their leader, Norman Spear, is a white separatist and national socialist. He claims to be ex-military, deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan. His immediate goal is to build communal training grounds across the world. To this effect, he has purchased a plot of land in the Pacific Northwest, and plans to start training members in January.
From there, they will train in the paramilitary and survival skills needed to commit acts of mass violence and elude authorities in rural areas. As Spear tells his followers in the chats, “For now we need non-attributable actions but that will still send a message and/or add to acceleration as much as possible.”
This tactic has some precendent. Following the 1996 Centennial Olympic attack, and bombing two abortion clinics and a lesbian nightclub, Christian Identitarian Eric Rudolph spent more than five years as a fugitive living in the Pisgah National Forest.
Hudgins tweets at @HudRMc, posting various racist, antisemitic, and far-right conspiracy theories. On September 20, he retweeted a user with the handle “The Zyklone Ranger,” who posted an image featuring the text, “White people can’t be racist against Jews. We hold no institutional power over them.”
In October 2018, in response to a Twitter user posting a meme comparing Trump to Hitler, Hudgins responded, “I fucking wish… Trump is no uncle addy. He couldnt clean his wwi boots….”
His admiration of Hitler is a recurring theme on his Twitter account. In response to another Twitter user comparing Trump to Hitler, Hudgins wrote, “Hitler was a better man and a better leader than donald….”
He also links to Holocaust denial videos on YouTube, retweets posts claiming Jewish people “hate white people with a psychotic intensity,” and issues calls to action for white Americans to “get your hands dirty” or face the coming “white genocide,” a racist conspiracy theory that asserts that white people are being disenfranchised and stripped of their institutional privilege.
His views are common to the alt-right in general– he considers trans people to be “mentally ill,” and refers to the LGBTQIA community as “perverts” and “degenerates.”
He also uses his account to harass trans people and the parents of trans children.
On October 14, following the October 12 Proud Boy attacks on protesters in NYC, Hudgins tweeted in support of them, writing, “Self defense and the protesters deserved worse.”
His views are common to alt-right troll accounts– transphobic, racist, ultranationalist, antisemitic, and conspiratorial.
If it seems like he was behaving like a typical far-right troll in the summer of 2018– using slurs, tagging leftist activists, arguing racist and antisemitic nonsequitors– that’s exactly the point.
His views didn’t shift. He was simply given the opportunity to organize with The Base to turn that hate into a material reality.
Today’s troll is tomorrow’s mass shooter.
Beginning in the fall of 2018, coinciding with his membership in The Base, his rhetoric became more forceful, involving frequent violent calls to action. Below, he tells his Twitter followers to “reclaim these homelands” and, writing of the children of migrants in Germany, “They must all be purged.”
In response to a user sharing an article on the migrant caravan, Hudgins writes, “Dont push this manipulation. Its not our problem. They will begin the battles with outright blood on the streets here. You will all suffer for your part in this.”
Hudgins is a powder keg waiting to explode. When he talks about “the battles with outright blood on the streets” and says “[y]ou will all suffer for your part in this,” he is literally discussing his plans.
He left the realm of online trolling months ago and has begun organizing with The Base to train in violent tactics to enact his genocidal fantasies. Unless he is held accountable by his community, his plans for this kind of mass violence will become a reality.
This is the third article in a series exposing members of the neo-Nazi group The Base.
