This blog probably gained the most attention when I discussed “NAFO,” an ostensibly “pro-Ukraine” internet group, which has seen a decline as the situation in Ukraine becomes increasingly dire. At the time, I underestimated the resilience of this extremely toxic “community.” Nearly two years later, NAFO has faced serious challenges, including the passing of one of its founding members and internal disputes over allegations of misconduct. This situation raises questions about the group’s future actions as the situation in Ukraine evolves, as seen in a since-deleted post from “The Poison King Fella.”
Seen above are some words of encouragement from NAFO’s unhinged “Papa Pasta.” A US veteran in Ukraine who goes by “Spaghetti Kozak,” and is known to some by his former alias “Jim Kovpak,” was said to be a “founding father” of NAFO, and its most influential member by September 2022. A couple months later, he started to distance himself from NAFO, not because I exposed the Nazi origins of the first “Fella,” but after some “fake fellas” disagreed with a controversial declaration of his: “I really don’t see why Russian civilians should be off limits. It’s time to take this war asymmetrical. … They need a good Dresden.”
Mr. Kozak has warned that “Ukrainian defeat means unrestricted asymmetric warfare pretty much everywhere,” and “when I come back to the US I’m going to help clean out the garbage.” More recently, he endorsed a violent attack against me, because “people have to do the job themselves.” This character acknowledges that since 2014, he’s been increasingly “radicalized to the Ukrainian cause.” Left unsaid is that “Spaghetti Kozak” did not only become an extremist in recent years. He used to be a dues-paying member of the National Alliance, which was reportedly “the most dangerous and best organized neo-Nazi formation in America.” In fact, he was its Assistant Director of Propaganda in Arizona.
