NJ Hate Watch: New Evidence Further Cements Jonathan Misura as a Neo Nazi

Republished From Philly Fash Watch

In August 2024, NJ Hate Watch, exposed 18 year-old Jonathan Misura of Milltown, NJ as a neo nazi, with membership in groups like NJEHA and the now defunct S14. New photo evidence has now come to light, concretely proving Misura’s identity as a neo nazi.

Misura is pictured in the above photo with other S14, Embrace Struggle Active Club, and NJEHA members Dan D’ambly, convicted sex offender Ben Ryder, the now imprisoned Andrew Takhistov, S14 leader Mark Kauffman, and other unidentified neo nazis, including “Vulgar”. The photo, which was originally uploaded with nazi themed stickers over their faces, was taken in December of 2023, when the group was honoring a dead nazi.

Without the nazi sticker hiding his identity, Misura can unmistakably be seen throwing up a “sieg heil”. His features and stature stand out, matching his profile at the time as a bone headed High School Senior.

Misura was best friends with neo nazi Andrew Takhistov, who is pictured standing next to Misura on the right in the December 2023 photo. The two were very close until they were both entrapped by the state in a plot to blow up a New Brunswick electrical substation in July, 2024.

An excerpt from Takhistov’s arrest details which alludes to Misura as “Individual 1”.

As the undercover federal agent stated in his report, Takhistov and another person, “Individual 1”, who has been independently verified to be Jonathan Misura, met up with him to discuss plans to blow up an electrical substation in New Brunswick. Takhistov and Misura also planned a trip to Ukraine in July 2024 which the undercover agent detailed, to fight alongside far right Ukrainian Nationalists against the Russian invasion. Right before they were able to execute their trip to Ukraine, Takhistov was arrested and has been in federal detention ever since. Misura was not arrested and escaped prosecution/all potential legal consequences for reasons unknown.

Since August 2024, Misura has attended East Stroudsburg University (ESU), completing his Freshman year and retaining his scholarship and placement on the school’s baseball team.

Jonathan Misura’s ESU baseball profile.

Misura, who is now a Sophomore, has been leaning into baseball, joining a collegiate baseball team, the Syracuse Salt Cats, as a pitcher in the off season. The Syracuse Salt Cats are sponsored by Major League Baseball (MLB) and several past players have been scouted into MLB. Misura, who has clearly been emboldened by the lack of consequences, is now interested in pursuing a shot with the MLB. Evidence of which can been seen from the website he created to try and get his name out further in the baseball sphere and attract MLB attention.

Misura’s website, which omits his nazi ideology.

Reports from those on ESU’s campus have found Misura to be racist and combative to non-white students, in the classroom and on the baseball diamond. Reports from his time with the Salt Cats show that Misura actively harasses Jewish team members. With Misura still a neo nazi and not hiding it, one has to wonder why he has been allowed to abuse his fellow students without consequence.

Misura poses a danger to his fellow University students and the larger community. He must be held responsible for his actions. Concerned community members are encouraged to reach out to his school administration directly, the Syracuse Salt Cats coaching staff, and ESU’s athletics department with the following script. (This article and NJ Hate Watch’s original article can be linked as evidence of Misura’s actions).

“Hello I am reaching out to contact you about an ESU student named Jonathan Misura. He is a Sophmore who is on a baseball scholarship. Misura is a self-professed Neo-Nazi and racist. I have provided the following evidence which displays Misura’s actions and identity as a neo nazi. Misura’s behavior violates both NCAA rules and regulations (applicable to both the Syracuse Salt Cats and ESU) and East Stroudsburg University’s Student Athlete Handbook (its Sportsmanship Policy). His behavior specifically violates current the NCAA Division II Handbook and, the 3.3.1.3 Standards and 3.3.4.5 Standards.

As a student athlete Misura is supposed to embody the values and codes governing the Syracuse Salt Cats and East Stroudsburg University. I would like to request a review of Jonathan Misura’s placement on the ESU and Syracuse Salt Cat’s baseball team and a review of his baseball scholarship. Thank you.”

Takhistov, aka Cossack, upon his arrest. Takhistov is pictured here without glasses, although he typically wears them.

Just a few days ago Andrew Takhistov, an 18 year old from East Brunswick, was arrested in a federal sting operation where he allegedly solicited an undercover federal agent to blow up two different electrical substations in Central NJ (CNJ). Takhistov is now facing one count of soliciting another individual to engage in criminal conduct, which could result in a maximum prison term of 10 years and a $125,000 fine if convicted. Idavox covered Takhistov’s arrest and charges in depth, more about the specifics can be read here.

Since the release of the federal complaint, Takhistov has been positively identified as a very active neo-nazi that has been a part of the Tristate (NYC, PA, NJ) nazi scene for at least the last two years. Takhistov who goes by the Telegram handles “Cossack” and “Taraz”, is highly dedicated, holding membership in WLM NJ/PA, S14, NJEHA, Atlantic Nationalist Club, and Embrace Struggle, among running his own projects dubbed “White Legion” and “Defend Europe” respectively.

Takhistov’s main Telegram handles. Prior to his arrest a few days ago he was primarily using the “Taraz” account, while his “Cossack” account was on the back burner.

Takhistov first became involved with the tristate nazi scene when he was 16 years old, starting off virtually and connecting with group leaders like S14’s Mark Kauffman and NJEHA’s Dan D’ambly. He quickly became immersed and began to get involved in-person during 2023. Throughout 2023 and 2024 Takhistov was a regular presence at actions and became closer with older more senior members and leadership.

With Takhistov’s further entrenchment he began to reveal more information about himself in public Telegram chats. Specifically, Takhistov discussed his Ukrainian heritage and nationalism at length, often going on long diatribes.

Takhistov’s rant about Ukrainian nationalism. He also reveals personal details about his family history and status as a Ukrainian.

During this time Takhistov attempted to move his project, White Legion, offline into the real world but had limited success. Largely White Legion functioned as a showy propaganda group claiming to do physical conditioning and supporting nationalists in Ukraine. This is also verified by the press release from the federal government about his arrest.

Takhistov’s now dormant White Legion project.

Other than a few propaganda based photo ops across CNJ White Legion was not involved in or planned any independent actions, nor did it become its own individual group focused on recruiting or centralized goal like S14 or NJEHA.

Commentary from the federal government about Takhistov’s project White Legion.

In early 2024, Takhistov began to get more involved in nazi accelerationist ideology, reposting pictures from Injekt Division, a nazi accelerationist crew similar to Atomwaffen Division, and other Terrorgram channels. Takhistov also expressed his desire to go and fight in Ukraine and assist fellow nazis in propelling the country towards national socialism. It was at this juncture he created his other project/Telegram channel “Defend Europe”.

Takhistov’s new “Defend Europe” project he started in 2024.

Takhistov used this new Telegram channel to produce Ukrainian nationalist/fascist content. He centered Defend Europe around his supposed journey to Ukraine and claimed he was shipping out soon to help fight against the Russian invasion and push for a national socialist Ukraine. Takhistov’s Defend Europe content read more as a LARP fantasy than something that he was actually doing, given the way he went about posting and bragging.

Takhistov pictured holding a Ukrainian nazi flag “prior to shipping out”.

Throughout 2023 and 2024 as Takhistov was engaging in nazi accelerationist activities, he began to connect more with those on Terrorgram, and ended up connecting with an undercover federal agent. Takhistov was essentially catfished by the federal government in early 2024 when he was trying to organically connect with other NJ-based neo-nazis. Takhistov met up with the federal agent several times, with other currently unidentified NJ neo-nazis.

This massive security blunder led to Takhistov being entrapped by the feds in a plot to blow up two different electrical substations in CNJ. The federal agent that Takhistov was in contact with from Terrorgram pushed for a way to get further involved, joining Takhistov and other nazis for a March 2, 2024 action in New Brunswick, NJ. Takhistov and the federal agent met up a few times after this and discussed different tactics used by national socialists, including electrical substation attacks. Takhistov told the agent that he had a trip booked for July 2024 to visit Ukraine and intended to join up with a pro-Ukraine Russian fascist volunteer group fighting against Russia. The agent asked for more details locally and Takhistov passed them off, noting that the agent could plan on doing an attack when Takhistov was over in Ukraine. For several months after that Takhistov sent the agent guides on industrial sabotage, further information on local electrical substations, and details on how to make homemade weapons. Takhistov, the agent, and another unidentified NJ nazi, then went around and scouted out different electrical substations, with the agent providing in-depth insight on how to access the buildings.

An excerpt from the criminal complaint filed by the federal government against Takhistov.

While the federal briefing detailed that Takhistov was arrested at Newark International Airport on his way to Ukraine, it is unclear if Takhistov was accepted into any kind of formal fascist volunteer force. Despite Takhistov’s bravado that he was set to join a group of pro-Ukrainian Russian fascist separatists fighting against Russia it has not been confirmed that Takhistov had solidified plans prior to his arrest. It is more likely that Takhistov intended to forge concrete connections on the ground once he got to Ukraine and try to meet up in-person with the group in an effort to join.

The federal government is famous for trying to entrap the far right, the far left, religious groups, and everyone in between often trying to convince individuals to engage in illegal activities. In this case, Takhistov was duped by the feds to help plan an attack on CNJ infrastructure to be theoretically executed by the federal agent. By no means is this a defense of Takhistov, he is nazi scum who was dumb enough to contact random accounts on a highly surveilled platform (Terrorgram) and got wrapped up in a would be terrorism plot. It is important however to acknowledge that it was the state who pushed the alleged crime and Takhistov.

S14 members: With addition of Andrew Takhistov, 9 of your people have been identified and doxxed including Alex Chubbuck, Benjamin Ryder, Jackson Bradley, Paul Minton, Daisy McGowan, Mathew Bair, Mark Kauffman, and Sara Sheaffer. If you continue to operate, more of your members will be exposed and the pressure will increase. You will be held responsible for the nazi filth that you are.

Benjamin Ryder.

Last week Idavox identified Benjamin Ryder as “one of handful of individuals that held a protest on an overpass going over Roosevelt Blvd. in support of a White child allegedly murdered by a Black woman in Ohio“. Ryder, a registered sex offender and pedophile, has been a known associate of PA area nazis for some time, having been involved in several instances of vandalism, and targeting of anarchist and Queer spaces in Philadelphia and New Jersey. Specifically, Ryder first came onto antifascists’ radar last year when he was caught stealing stickers at the Wooden Shoe, an anarchist bookstore in Philadelphia, and when he was arrested for pulling a weapon on a group of people outside the Supreme Court.

Ryder’s arrest, and consequent identification, in front of the Supreme Court in April 2023.

Ryder has been loosely associated with different nazi crews but his exact ties have been hard to pin down- until now. Antifascists have positively identified Ryder as a long-time member of S14, NJEHA, WLM PA/NJ, and Embrace Struggle Social Club (formerly a part of the Active Club network but the group has since disassociated).

Ryder’s Telegram profile in 2023. His membership in S14 is confirmed here well, circled in red.

 

Ryder’s Telegram profile as of June 2024.

Ryder who uses the Telegram handle @cancerousparanoia and “NAME” as his display name, has been a member of S14, NJEHA, and WLM PA/NJ since 2022/2023 when he became increasingly active in-person and friends with fellow neo-nazi Mathew Bair. Ryder has attended many in-person actions including hangouts in PA with Kauffman, Bair, Cossack, and other general members.

One of the hangouts that Ryder attended, alongside Bair, Kauffman, Cossack and others.

 

Ryder is circled in red in front of the NY S14 chapter flag. Note that he is wearing the same shirt as one of his Telegram profile pictures pictured earlier in this piece.

 

Ryder, circled in red, poses in front of the S14 flag.

 

Ryder, again circled in red, poses in front of Cossack’s Azov Battalion flag.

Below, Bair and Ryder can be seen joking around about their attendance and NJ Hate Watch’s coverage of this same hang out in 2023.

Ryder has also openly discussed his membership in the regional White Lives Matter crews, specifically mentioning their organizational structure and past collaborations. WLM PA/NJ has been in hot water with the state over the past year and a half. They have tried to distance themselves away from other WLM members like Evan Plumlee who was caught up in the J6 “insurrection” and helped invade the capitol building and Nicholas Mucci, who very recently plead guilty to a host of charges stemming from a WLM action in New Jersey.

Ryder providing details about his membership in WLM and the chapter’s prior work with a PA Proud Boy crew. Ironically, Ryder mentions to Bair that the chat they’re in is not secure.

S14, and its leader Mark Kauffman, likes to posit the group and their collaborators such as Embrace Struggle and WLM, as moralistic and disciplined crews that are against pedophilia, respect white women, and are against all forms of “degeneracy”. In the past Kauffman has booted prior members for violating these terms, but the irony here is that Ryder’s long-term membership in the crew flies in the face of these supposed principles.

Ryder has had a very public and well documented case of being a compulsive sex offender who targets both women and children. Starting in 2015 when he was 20 years old, Ryder was arrested and convicted of indecent exposure and open lewdness when he stripped naked in a McDonald’s women’s bathroom and exposed himself and followed a woman using the restroom. After this incident he served jail time and was forced to register as a sex offender; he is currently listed as a Tier 1 sex offender in PA.

An excerpt from a 2015 article about Ryder’s first conviction. He served jail time for this incident.

Later in 2017/2018 when he was 23, he was picked up in PA for multiple instances of exposing himself to women and girls in public. In one incident his victims were as young as 12 years old, something Ryder admitted in open court.

Details from a 2018 article about his second arrest for exposing himself.

 

Further details on the 2017/2018 incident that lead to Ryder’s arrest.

 

Horrific details about Ryder’s assault on two 12 year old girls, for which he was arrested. In addition to other instances that prompted calls to police.

So why does Kauffman, S14, WLM, NJEHA, and Embrace Struggle associate with Ryder and allow him membership within their crews? Despite Kauffman’s bravado, he doesn’t actually stand by any of his supposed principles by hanging out with and befriending someone who sexually assaults little girls. Most likely Ryder doesn’t view himself as a pedophile, but what do you call someone who compulsively targets children as young as 12 years old and shows them their genitals? Ryder gains sexual satisfaction from exposing himself to women and children and there are no other labels that come to mind other than “sex offender” and “pedophile”.

For the public’s safety, especially women and girls, the following information is being released: Ryder, is a 29 year old white male who lives in Glenside, PA on Pleasant Avenue. He is 6′ 3″, 185 lbs, has brown hair, brown eyes, several arm tattoos, and wears ear gauges. He owns and drives a black 2015 Nissan Rogue with a PA license plate “MJN8871”.

A reference photo of a 2015 Nissan Rogue. It is the same color, make, and model of Ryder’s Nissan Rogue, but is not a picture of his exact vehicle.

S14 members: With addition of Benjamin Ryder, seven of your people have officially been identified and doxxed including  Jackson Bradley, Paul Minton, Daisy McGowan, Mathew Bair, Mark Kauffman, and Sara Sheaffer. If you continue to operate, more of your members will be exposed and the pressure will increase. You will be held accountable for the nazi pedophile supporting filth that you are.

Antifascists Kick NJEHA, Embrace Struggle Active Club, and Garden State Nationalists Out of Princeton, NJ

Anonymous Submission to Jersey Counter-Info

Local antifascists received a tip from a concerned Princeton area resident on the morning of July 1st, 2023 that NJEHA and other fascists were at a Walmart on the outskirts of Princeton. Based on this tip, antifascists were able to mobilize and disrupt their meet up in the Walmart parking lot and gather intel. The group included members of NJEHA, Embrace Struggle Active Club, and Garden State Nationalists.

NJEHA members and the other fascists were spotted at the Walmart around 9am July 1, 2023. They soon found themselves unexpectedly surveilled by antifascists. They were visibly taken by surprise and it was clear they were not expecting anyone other than their own comrades as no one took any effort to cover their faces, license plates, or other personal property.

Two fascists in shock over being discovered at their meet up. At the time of publishing these two individuals have yet to be identified.

 

A fascist and their Black Nissan Sentra with PA plates “LPB1567”.

 

A group of three nazis at the Walmart parking lot, including former antifascist Paul Minton.

 

A white Dodge van that the fascists used to transport a banner and supplies. PA plates “ZVB3926”.

 

Paul Minton, who crawled back to fascism in 2020, was present too. He was wearing Embrace Struggle Active Club gear. Minton is a confirmed member of Embrace Struggle AC.

Some of the fascists must still be identified, however, there were some familiar faces including Paul Minton and Dan D’ambly. Minton, who was previously an antifascist, but backslid into fascism in 2020, was caught with his mask off talking to two other fascists. D’ambly was caught by his blue/green Toyota Camry with another fascist.

D’ambly and his Toyota Camry.

 

D’ambly and another fascist caught by surprise.

The fascists scrambled on what to do next and divided into two groups, one group lagged behind at the Walmart lot and the other set out to their intended destination, which ended up being downtown Princeton, NJ. Antifascists were able to discover this in real time through on ground surveillance work, which was successful because of the fascist’s sloppy tactics and security measures. While they attempted to use counter measures like staggering the time their members left, and later, waiting around Princeton in the hope that antifascists would leave, NJEHA, Embrace Struggle Active Club, the Garden State Nationalists, and their associates were unable to shake antifascists.

The group of fascists marching on the sidewalk attempting to conduct their demo.

 

An antifascist disrupting the Princeton demo.

Antifascists were able to mobilize quickly in Princeton once D’ambly and his crew hit the ground for their march and immediately began to disrupt their efforts. They were shouted down with a bullhorn and random passerby’s started to harass them as well. At one point one of D’ambly’s grunts tried to pass out NJEHA fliers and members of the public refused to take them, crumpling them up and throwing them on the ground like the trash they were.

NJEHA were unable to spread their fascist due to the efforts of antifascists.

 

One of the crumpled NJEHA fliers that was thrown out by the general public.

With their efforts foiled and heavy resistance from the general public and antifascists the assorted group of fascists gave up unceremoniously. They were spotted shortly after waiting for public transport by antifascists who were in the area.

The visibly dejected fascists waiting for public transport to take them back to their cars at Walmart.

 

D’ambly, Minton, and their fascist lackeys will probably try and spin their march and actions taken today as successful. That they were brave “American patriots” who took on antifascists in the streets. We know however that this couldn’t be further from the truth.
