It’s hilarious to see the words “neo-Nazi” and “kingpin” in the same sentence. How many millions of dollars do they think he has?

Forward:

Does a key media neo-Nazi — hitherto anonymous — live on the Upper East Side of Manhattan with his Jewish wife? That’s what reports from rival racist factions in the broader “alt-right” movement indicate.

Mike “Enoch,” head of neo-Nazi site The Right Stuff that puts out “The Daily Shoah” and “Fash the Nation” podcasts which also, most famously, developed the ((())) echoes plugin, has been exposed as Mike Peinovich, a software developer originally from Montclair, New Jersey.

By judicious removal of letters of his family name, Peinovich reportedly becomes “Enoch” — an allusion to British racial separatist politician Enoch Powell.

Nothing in the world of the “alt-right” agglomeration of misogynists, anti-Semites, and white supremacists is ever quite as it seems. What seems to have happened, though, is that resulting from a clash (on Red Ice Radio) about whether members should even speak to Jews, The Right Stuff crew got into a spat with an 8Chan group called Baphomet.

Baphomet responded by attacking the TRS site as well as revealing names, addresses and families of a number of key pseudonymous members of the “alt-right” including Enoch, who seems to have admitted the accusation.

From Reddit thread:

* Yeah, we are not here to accept Jews with open arms. The guys behind all of the big podcasts on TRS all hang out together, meet up IRL, and have a major influence on the alt-right. They all knew Mike had a Jewish wife, and yet they kept quiet. We should not be sheep. We should not accept Jewish influence in a movement for white people. It’s not even like Mike’s wife is Jew-ish, she’s full blown Jewish, and fully embraces it. Mike needs to divorce and disavow his Jewish wife.

* Personally, while being well-versed on the JQ and the subversive behavior of Jews throughout history, I still keep a reasonable position to individual Jews-if they are not subversive individually. I was fine with Red Ice interviewing ‘Reactionary Jew’, I am fine with Richard Spencer talking to Paul Gottfried. But this Mike Enoch situation rustles me greatly, and frankly I cannot give Enoch a pass for this.
From what I have seen on 8chan, Enoch’s wife is not only a Jew, but a diversity-promoting, LGBT-promoting liberal. She is literally the stereotype that the TRS guys make fun of on their shows. I’ve listened to the Shoah for quite a while and constantly hear them criticizing people for being ‘soft on the JQ’, while, as we now know, Mike Enoch is married to a left-wing jew. It is completely hypocritical.

I actually think Mike’s beliefs in WN are sincere, and he probably married her prior to his conversion to WN. It does ring alarms that an ethnically conscious Jew is married to someone she knows hosts a podcast called the ‘Daily Shoah’. But I trust Mike enough to believe he is not a total fraud.

Regardless, this is very disappointing and undermines the further right section of our movement. Personally, it will be hard for me to take the Shoah seriously again-if it continues. I don’t see any point in Mike stepping down from the podcast-TBH there would be no point with just Sven.

* The only real opsec is never meeting in person and never telling anyone your true identity. /pol/ has always known this. TRS mocked them for being paranoid, but now we know that was a psyop to get gullible people to compromise themselves through donations and pool parties.

* FTN can get doxxed because they have recognizable voices. All it takes is someone hearing it and thinking, “Is that Bob? That is Bob… Wow.” – and then if that person talks about it with others the info inexorably spreads.
Just look at it – if they succeed and become popular – assured doxxing.
If they just keep doing what they do and it burbles along – eventual doxxing based on more and more ppl hearing their voices.
McFeels and Halberstram can’t count on keeping it secret forever.

* Yep. Even your unique writing style or ideas can be sufficient to identify you, if you get enough attention. See Ted Kaczynski.

* He’s [in] the position of atheist vicar: He cannot lead a movement his life contradicts. He will have to choose, and he will choose his wife.

* How would you know they were not being subversive? The whole idea of subversion is fooling the person[s] through feigned sincerity. How many times must it be said on here? NO JEWS.

* Individual Jews can be good people, but so can blacks. Get enough blacks to congregate and they chimp out, get enough Jews together and they start being subversive and power-grabbing.
It’s genetic. No Jews or sympathizers, ever.

* Well that’s unfortunate, FTN and TDS were my workout podcasts.
Kind of happy I never tried to sign up for their forums and the “extreme vetting”

* The US movement has to stop basing itself on these edge anonymous social media accounts and start building organisations.
Do you think the front national have gotten to the point where they could very well take the presidency by writing edgy stuff as trollboy1488 on twitter? No they have rallies in the middle of the city and act as an actual political party.
Also it becomes a lot easier to take the heat from the system if you are using the organisations brand instead of your own brand.
We need to focus much more on organisations and a lot less on individuals.
With that said this brutal fear of doxing is ridiculous. How do you expect to achieve anything if you panic and run away if they mention your name. Can the nsa kill the movement by dumping some info?
In Europe we have demonstrations with tens of thousands of people, intell agencies and antifa are there with cameras but we don’t care. We are here to win.

* Enoch’s wife is a jew who works as a diversity officer.
A few weeks ago Cernovich sent a cryptic tweet saying a hardline alt-right leader is worried because people will soon discover he married a jew.

* Try to imagine how odd things must be around their house. She’s got to have been thinking, “if people find out about Mikes hobby, I’m going to be in hot water at work.”
Anyone can play any of the podcasts of the last two years and you hear her husband saying totally heretical things.
He knows, “if people find out about my hobby, the shit hits the fan – a volcano of bullshit.” It is hard to imagine what typical office can hire him.
Those guys are both in hot water now. That’s before you even consider the fact that their Alt-Right fans are confused, saddened, afraid or pissed off.

* The only thing I’m dismayed at is the purity spiraling. I’ll still listen to whatever these guys produce (probably). I mean shit, you can be married to someone you don’t agree with; fuck, you can be married to someone you HATE, my parents did it for 20 years. Or you can think she’s a degenerate and still try to foster the good. Because that’s what people do.
I’m not trying to defend anything, but goddamn, if someone pushes for our cause, and in such a high profile, then they’re my ally. Mike’s still doing more for the cause than I am BY FAR.

* In less than one year I’ve completely redpilled my wife. From dyed in the wool liberal to full fash. She’s right on race, gender, poz, and the JQ. It wasn’t that hard.
So I kinda find it hard to believe that he could be sincere and have his wife of 10 years running around with trannies.
Plus, look at how fat he is. He looks like a slob. He’s no leader of men. He’s Howard Stern.

* But how Jewish? Because if 1/4 or less, I don’t give a shit. Kids only 1/8 skype still can be accepted IMO.

* I’m more disappointed by how fat he is than anything. Though something about that voice always sounded slobbish.
People really need to understand the importance of aesthetics. It’s a big part of rhetoric. I don’t care how good your facts and arguments are if you look like a fat fuck no one is going to take you seriously. If you’re not, at the least, an average looking dude, then you should focus on that before you do anything else.
“You’re not going to beat the hell out of anything. You won’t even go to the gym, look how fat you are.”

* Seriously, most of these posts are CTR, antifa-types trying to stir up trouble. So Mike’s wife is a quarter jew? Does that really take away from all the amazing material he’s put out there? I mean if he were “controlled opposition” then they aren’t controlling him very well since he’s made some of the most effective propaganda in the entire movement.

* His ideas are so much more powerful than anything she is accomplishing as a “diversity officer”.

* TRS is basically a cult of personality around Mike Enoch, and this demonstrates what I’ve long believed, that Mike is disingenuous and TRS was always about ego and narcissism for him. It doesn’t represent a “movement,” and he doesn’t believe half of what he says. He used Jewish trickery to get people agreeing with him about everything and deployed the “counter-signal” meme to quell dissent.
This isn’t the time to circle the wagons. It’s another Joshua Goldberg situation. If you find yourself still wanting to defend TRS, step back and do some self-reflection.

* I’m sick of this one-drop BS, and putting runaway Jew-hatred ahead of the pro-white agenda.
We’re facing a future of minority-white, multiracial hellscape cities, but instead of keeping the energy high and bringing the fight, some people are willing to jettison the strongest allied voices because they don’t check all the boxes on their list of pure Aryan qualifications.
This is fake drama for keyboard warrior roleplayers, not people who are committed to the cause of changing minds.

* People here are confusing “having standards” with “purity spiraling”.
One of the fundamental rules of any WN org that I’ve ever known of is that you aren’t permitted to be a member if you have a non-white dependant. Meaning current spouse or child.
I get that people weren’t born with a swastika birthmark but you have a choice to make when you become aware of the JQ and race realism while being married to a non-white: either leave your partner or stop calling yourself a WN. That said, I don’t know if Mike identifies as a WN or the more nebulous label of “alt-right”.
I don’t have a problem with people calling themselves alt-right or pro-white while having low standards. The terms are too vague to mean much to me. However, anyone who calls themselves a WN while having a non-white partner needs to realize that they are not welcome.

Detox, performing This is How We Jew It, from the first Christmas Queens album. Live at PlayStation Theater, NY 12/11/16

* I’m honestly pretty surprised that a jew is behind TRS, because it’s something that’s so manifestly bad for the jews.
I suppose there’s a chance that the entire dox is a trap that they laid out in the past (I’ve often thought that the easiest way to protect yourself online is to leave a trail that points to someone else rather than nobody), but we’ll see in the future. There’s audio of Enoch’s wife doing anti-semitic shit on one of the shoahs, and he mentions multiple times that she’s on board with what he espouses (which includes jews in ovens).
Of course, if he was just a lazy faggot…this is fucking hilarious. All those trs supporters aren’t going to have anywhere to go but here and the Daily Stormer. Assuming they actually integrate, the destruction of this particular set of jewish tricks will just lead to us growing in size and influence to an incredible degree.

* TRS is not the kind of anti-semitism that jews actually like existing. They prop up harmless and transparently offensive stuff that doesn’t go into great detail about why people would actually hate jews. They scrawl swastikas on Synagogues and smear shit in jewish neighborhoods – they don’t hand out copies of The Culture of Critique or the Oded Yinon plan.

* I’m absolutely not surprised that Kike Enoch turns out to be actually deep in Jewry. I called it in 2015 yet couldn’t prove it. At the time it was only a fucking hunch which came out 100% true. I thought it was extremely suspicious that a man living in Jew-York, of all places, using so many kike media techniques to promote and create his “media empire for fashy goys (god I hate that retarded term)” was not somehow related to the tribe. Glad to see my jewdar is finely tuned.

* The jew wife also works at a place called Jimpact to spread ‘diversity’ around to businesses and other places. Including, but not limited to, Capital One Bank, Harvard, Comcast, Rutgers University, Aflac, Johnson & Johnson, Jack in the Box, and the fucking NSA.

How does TRS defend any of this

* If this turns out to be true, there’s going to be hell to pay. Enoch has said he has a day job and has referenced an office from time to time. Could this perhaps be a bullshit link that is an attempt to force his hand into dropping actual dox on himself?

* No, we need to start local groups now. TRS did a good job in kindling the nationalism that was emerging, but now it’s up to us to move into the real world.

* So let me see if I can get this summary of the alt-right straight:
>AmRen is super cozy w/ Jews
>Spencer and RedIce both tried to push the “Reactionary Jew” angle and also invited literal fags to NPI
>American Vanguard is run by a literal weeb high school student
>Ghoul sold out TRS leadership and AV members to try and save himself
>SS and Bulby got doxed by /baph/
>Enoch, the guy who runs TRS, is literally part of the Tribe
Am I missing anything? Doesn’t this make Anglin extremely suspicious since he was part of this Enoch-Spencer-Anglin triumverate?

* I wish I had access to the TRS forums so I could witness the meltdown when they find out their glorious leader and his wife are juden.

BLOG POST: In the last coupla weeks, various nazi dingbats active on the #altright in the US have been doXXed — seemingly as a result of some internecine online warfare.

The latest casualty in this war is Some Guy called Mike Peinovich, AKA ‘Mike Enoch’. Peinovich is the lvl boss of a popular altright site called ‘The Right Stuff’ (TRS), established in December 2012, which hosts podcasts ‘Fash The Nation’ (August 2015–) and ‘The Daily Shoah’ (August 2014–).

According to IGD (No Honor Among Trolls: ‘The Right Stuff’ Gets Doxed By Their Own ‘Movement’, January 10, 2017):

It all started when Red Ice Radio hosted a discussion with the pseudonymous “Reactionary Jew” asking if reactionaries Jews had any place in the alt-right. Many meme hardened Nazi keyboard warriors were angered that the question was even being considered, and took to the alt-right Internet to denounce Red Ice’s capitulation to the Jewish agenda. Some regular posters from the 504ums (the private forum of The Right Stuff, home to The Daily Shoah, Fash the Nation, and our old pal Ghoul) took the side of Red Ice in the face of these attacks.

This was enough to set off a trollstorm on other boards, leading to TRS heavies, including Mike Enoch (founder of TRS), Seventh Son, and Bulbasaur, to be roundly accused of being soft on Jews and gays, of using message boards to “shill” for their own site (based simply on a few folks having shared some links), and of course, of being secret Jews or gays themselves. This touched off a puerile feud between boards, consisting mostly of idiotic trolling, immature accusations, and denial of service (DDoS) attacks.

TRS was given an ultimatum: apologize on the air, or face a doxing. As defiant screencaps from the 504um were leaked by TRS insiders onto other sites, Bulbasaur from TRS allegedly responded to a dox threat by daring people to try it. They called his bluff. When the dust settled, two prominent hosts of The Daily Shoah, including Bulbasaur, had been doxed by their own white nationalist “comrades.” This release of info also comes as another prominent Alt-Right celebrity, Millennial Woes has reportedly fled Scotland after having their information released as well.

Apparently, ‘Millennial Woes’ is Some (Angry, Depressed) Guy called Colin Robertson, ‘Bulbasaur’ is Van Bryant II, and ‘Seventh Son’ — catchphrase Put ‘em in the oven! — is Jesse Craig Dunstan (AKA Jesse Bjorn, Jesse C. Densten).

As for Mike, originally published on Medium, the article ‘outing’ Enoch/Peinovich — Meet Mike Peinovich, the Upper East Side’s Neo-Nazi Media Kingpin — has since been unpublished by the site. The text reads as follows. Note that, for various reasons, I’ve removed some identifying content […] which the curious can probably find online elsewhere …

Mike Peinovich (alias “Mike Enoch”) is the founder and leader of The Right Stuff (TRS), an online hub of podcasting and networking for “Alt Right” neo-Nazis. TRS prides itself in its “edgy” podcasts, delighting in taking Alt Right politics to their logical conclusion, including favorable references to the Holocaust, ethnic cleansing, gaybashing, Islamophobic hate crimes, police shootings of black youth, and much more, often couched in a sizeable canon of hateful neologisms that require their own TRS-written lexicon to decipher. But don’t let the goofy jokes and veneer of irony fool you — TRS is dead serious, and central to a hard-core, explicitly neo-Nazi tendency in the Alt Right movement.

Peinovich’s pseudonym, taken from the white nationalist statesman Enoch Powell (and from removing a few letters from his own last name) is not as well known as the names Richard Spencer, Andrew Anglin, Milo Yiannopolous, and others who have forsaken private life and seem to revel in notoriety. But this does not make Peinovich any less important to the Alt Right than these figures. The only difference is Peinovich covets his anonymity, fearing the loss of his lucrative tech job (last listed as a company called Vook, which was renamed to Pronoun), backlash in his Upper East Side neighborhood, and alienation from his liberal family, rooted in the affluent suburb of Montclair, New Jersey. Far from the spotlight, Peinovich has created a dangerous neo-Nazi media and social network, out of […] a quiet street in Manhattan’s Upper East Side.

The TRS podcast “network” invokes a fictitious call number WKKK1488 FM, a reference to the KKK, the “14 words” of white nationalism, and the greeting “heil Hitler”. The network is home to the popular Alt Right podcast “Fash the Nation”, among many others with explicitly fascist, white nationalist, and neo-Nazi themes. Peinovich hosts TRS’s flagship podcast “The Daily Shoah” (a pun on the Shoah, or Holocaust), where he regularly rants, using every slur under the sun, in faux-intellectual stentorian monologues about the inferiority of anyone who is not a heterosexual white man. Peinovich and his fairly large cohort of radio hosts, bloggers, and activists advocate creating an “ethno-state” in the US by any means necessary, including the forced removal of all non-whites, Jews, and “deviants”, and a return to the patriarchal rule of white, heterosexual men.

Unsurprisingly TRS has been wildly supportive of Donald Trump, though they understand him not so much as the leader of their movement, but a great historical figure who has created an opening for their organization and related groups to function more effectively, while preparing the masses of white Americans for their message. As a part of their deliberate movement-building, TRS has provided an online platform for notorious white nationalists and Nazis such as Andrew Anglin of The Daily Stormer, Greg Johnson of Counter Currents, Matthew Heimbach of the Traditionalist Youth Network, video blogger Colin Robertson (aka Millennial Woes), and many other heavy hitting haters, including the Nazi dork himself, who is a big supporter of the project. In short, TRS is no fash in the pan operation. Since its beginnings in 2013, the network now boasts over 100k listeners each week for The Daily Shoah alone.

Peinovich’s The Daily Shoah is also the source of the (((Jewish Name))) meme, which originated from making Jewish names echo on the air, and was subsequently translated into anti-Semitic online harassment on Twitter and elsewhere, a self-conscious digital incarnation of the notorious star Nazis forced Jews to wear to identify themselves. Until dropped by the online seller, TRS devotees could order t-shirts subtly celebrating the crematoriums of Auschwitz, the “helicopter rides” in which dictator Augusto Pinochet murdered activists, and anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, allowing TRS devotees to safely advertise their affinities in daily life. Enoch is also responsible for the “white student union” hoax and maintains a noxious Twitter presence as @ThaRightStuff, instigating hateful trolling amongst his nearly 25k followers. In November Peinovich appeared in the closed session of Richard Spencer’s National Policy Institute (NPI) conference, prior to Spencer’s now-notorious toast of “hail Trump”, in a rare public appearance. Peinovich opted out of the regular conference programming out of fear of losing his cherished anonymity, and was given a platform to fund-raise last-minute by his friend Spencer, as he had been the year prior when he appeared alongside TRS associates Henrik Palgren and Lana Lokteff of the neo-Nazi Red Ice Radio. Most recently, Peinovich (as Mike Enoch) joined the board of directors of the 501(c)3 Center for the Marketplace of Ideas, an explicitly “Alt Right” non-profit organization run by white nationalist lawyer Kyle Bristow.

Through building a private Facebook group and the TRS messageboard, Peinovich has been central to a growing national network of activists who network at regular “pool parties” (real life meetups for TRS-affiliates) aimed at building an activist presence off the Internet, where TRS has mostly lived since its inception. Members of this network recently joined the Traditionalist Youth Network and the National Socialist Movement, for a “White Lives Matter” rally in Chicago, marking a turn in TRS from the shadows of pseudonymous podcasting and Tweeting, toward street mobilization.

This comes as other prominent co-hosts of The Daily Shoah have been outed: Cooper “Ghoul” Ward (also a member of the American Vanguard, another group trying its hand at a public presence), Van “Bulbasaur” Bryant II, and Jesse “Seventh Son” Dunstan. While Ward and Bryant quickly disappeared from social media and TRS, with Ward even offering to give up information on TRS in exchange for his identity being protected, Dunstan continues to Tweet and podcast as “Seventh Son”, joking about his doxing, and advertising his recent purchase of a shotgun. In any case, TRS clearly has aspirations far beyond pseudonymous podcasting and Tweeting, and it is very likely the Peinovich, its founder and leader, will remain central to this project even after his identity has been revealed. To this effect, the group is said to have prepared for this possibility for a long time, and Peinovich has stated that with the rise of Trump, he expects the Alt Right to be able to shed its pseudonymous existence in the near future. This means the pressure must be put on, and kept on, to deprive these scumbags of any platform or comfortable existence aboveground.

From Salon:

The loosely knit group was shocked to the core Saturday night when one of its most influential leaders — a man known to his online followers as “Mike Enoch,” a virulent racist and anti-Semite — was revealed to be a New York website developer named Mike Peinovich, who has said that his wife is Jewish. Although the motivations behind Peinovich’s apparent deception are not clear, his operation presumably generated some modest cashflow from true believers in the alt-right crusade.

As one chagrined poster on Enoch’s website put it, “It’s pretty bad for your WN [white nationalist], fourth reich, neo-nazi, facist [sic] movement when one of the head guys happens to be married to a Jew.”

Enoch/Peinovich is the creator of the popular neo-Nazi website The Right Stuff (TRS). For several years, he has also co-hosted a podcast called “The Daily Shoah,” a deliberately offensive pun on the Hebrew term for the Holocaust.

In his online persona, Peinovich routinely cracked jokes about killing Jewish people and forcibly deporting Muslims and people of African descent. The weekly program had roughly 100,000 regular listeners, many of whom regularly sent in financial donations by PayPal or bought merchandise from the site.

Peinovich’s wife appears to have been aware of the entire situation. She even appeared on “The Daily Shoah” several times, including a special holiday-season segment in 2015 where she read a neo-Nazi parody of “The Night Before Christmas.” Introducing the clip, which can be found online, Peinovich said his wife was “very proud of it.”

Peinovich’s doxxing — a term referring to revealing someone’s private information online — was largely the work of anonymous left-wing users on the Medium blog site, in a post that has since been deleted. Word spread like wildfire throughout the alt-right’s many web forums and message boards over the weekend, as TRS fans and detractors battled over whether the information was legitimate or not.

That initial report had an air of credibility, since the identities of Peinovich’s fellow “death panelists” on the podcast had been revealed earlier in the week. That doxxing was done by members of a rival website called 8chan, who attacked TRS for supporting the principle that non-Jewish white nationalists had common interests with extreme right-wing Israelis, which is anathema to hardcore neo-Nazis and anti-Semites.

First the 8channers unmasked one of Peinovich’s colleagues, a University of Nebraska philosophy student who called himself “Ghoul,” and whose mother was revealed to be married to another woman. After that, 8channers and anti-fascist activists temporarily worked together to dox the rest of the “Daily Shoah” crew. “Bulbasaur” was exposed as a corrections officer living in Nashville and “Seventh Son” was revealed as a guitarist in an obscure Goth-rock band.

The big prize for the doxxers, however, was Peinovich. As the creator of TRS, he was (at least until this weekend) regarded as one of the three most influential figures in the alt-right, alongside Daily Stormer creator Andrew Anglin and Richard Spencer, the co-creator of the “alt-right” label.

Though TRS has not received as much coverage in the mainstream press, it originated or popularized many alt-right pranks and memes, including the practice of identifying Jewish people or those suspected of being Jewish with (((triple sets of parentheses,))) bogus White Student Union schemes at educational institutions, and racist or anti-Semitic song parodies. Peinovich was also reportedly among the people who gave the Nazi salute at the infamous National Policy Institute conference after Trump’s election in November.

Mike Enoch’s downfall was set in motion in December when a former alt-right vlogger named Mike Cernovich hinted to his viewers that one of his rivals “is morbidly obese and is married to a Jewish woman.” He declined to say whom he meant, but that salacious rumor set the cyber-sleuths to their task.
