Our investigation delves deep into the heart of a movement that no longer organizes in secrecy but openly trains, marches, and recruits. It is not merely a network of right-wing ideologues; it is a disciplined formation preparing for a moment they view as inevitable: societal collapse. The group calls itself Patriot Front. Born in the blood of Charlottesville, split from Vanguard America, it no longer appears with swastikas but with uniforms, symbols, flags, and combat boots. What was once brown is now olive green, beige, and tactically organized. But Patriot Front is just one name. Beneath the surface lie other structures, united under the cryptic symbol "H-8" – an abbreviation that stands not only for hate but for an ideology of white supremacy and violent overthrow. H-8 is a loose network of far-right groups stretching from the Ku Klux Klan to the Oath Keepers and Patriot Front. Their supporters reach into political and economic circles. Investigations show that businessmen and local politicians secretly fund them. "They are the backbone of America," said a Texas lawmaker anonymously. "Patriots ready to defend the country." In the forests of Tennessee, Alabama, and Texas, they run secret training camps – masked men, paramilitary drills, and talk of "freedom" rooted in hatred. "The cities will burn," says one instructor. "And we will be ready."
The Oath Keepers are the puppet masters of this shadow army. They are the trainers, the organizers – a group that claims to protect the Constitution while dismantling democracy. Their leader, Stewart Rhodes, preaches about the "day of reckoning," and H-8 and Patriot Front listen. In leaked chats, members discuss explosive devices, target lists, and "cleansing the cities." "Blood will flow. We are ready." In one of his most controversial moves, President Donald Trump pardoned over 1,500 people convicted in connection with the January 6, 2021 Capitol attack – including prominent Proud Boys and Oath Keepers. Stewart Rhodes and Enrique Tarrio, both convicted of seditious conspiracy, walked free. Sentences for 14 others – including Joseph Biggs, Ethan Nordean, Zachary Rehl, Dominic Pezzola, and Jeremy Bertino – were reduced to "time served." Their convictions remained, but they were immediately released. For H-8, the pardons were a clear signal. "He showed us we are invincible," one user wrote. "Now is our time." The ideology stems from the Ku Klux Klan – America’s oldest far-right terror group – which has modernized and merged into today’s networks. H-8 is not just American; it collaborates with European neo-Nazis, especially in Germany and France. They operate globally, spread propaganda online, and prepare for coordinated violence.
And the violence is real. In Michigan, a mosque burns. Patriot Front members celebrate in encrypted chats. "This is just the beginning," writes one user. "America will be cleansed." In Texas, a journalist who reported on far-right networks is found dead. The police label it a "robbery," but leaked messages show: he was a marked target. "The first traitor has fallen," reads one post. While the government remains silent, they push forward. They see themselves as patriots, as liberators – but in truth, they are preparing for war against their own country. And we saw it – on a Saturday in March 2025, in Tennessee.
