After writing my second article about David Deschesne, the editor and publisher of the Fort Fairfield Journal who promoted a neo-Nazi book burning, I ruffled some fascist-feathers. But trust me, I’m not afraid of this guy.
Over on Gab, Ryan J. Murdough, (also known as R.J McBride back in the 2010s) a known New Hampshire neo-Nazi, failed politician (and also failed hate group leader, as New Hampshire Nationalists is now defunct), and serial harasser, expressed his disdain for my articles that I wrote about him which you can see below.
Also, if you’re not familiar with Murdough’s politics, here are a few comments that will help you get a better understanding of what he’s all about.
Murdough believes that “schools would be better off if students were separated by race and gender,” and gives some advice to the youth, telling them that it’s okay to be white, for women to not be feminists, and for them not to get fat. And he also believes that “homosexuals belong in labor camps.”
So, let’s break this response down piece by piece.
National Socialism is becoming more popular everyday.
Murdough is actually right about the fact that Nazism is on the rise, but I would expand that and make it a little bit more broad; hate groups at large are on the rise. There are eight statewide, and four local hate and anti government groups in the state of Maine as of 2023 according to the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Hate Map.
The groups are the Asatru Folk Assembly, the Blood Tribe (no longer active in Maine), Maine Parents Involved in Education, Moms for Liberty (the former vice-chair of the group, Justin Whynot, allegedly groomed an underage teenager with violence and drugs, which he then impregnated) the National Constitutional Coalition of Patriotic Americans, NSC-131 (National Socialist Club), No Left Turn in Education — Maine, Parents’ Rights in Education — Maine, Tactical Civics — Androscoggin County, Maine (a group that Deschesne has shared his opinion on), The American States Assembly, and The Colchester Collection — Machias, Maine.
According to Statista, a study that was conducted by the Southern Poverty Law Center says that there were 1,430 active hate groups here in the United States in 2023, but this doesn’t just account for neo-Nazi groups, it accounts for hate groups in general.
As White people continue to become more aware of the fact that Jews are the driving force behind everything that is anti-White and degenerate in our society, National Socialism will continue to gain momentum.
Nazism will gain momentum. We have to remember that this is the United States of America, where racism is unfortunately alive and well, but this is not because of Jewish people. There isn’t one singular driving force behind neo-Nazism, but a wide array of causes that vary person to person. A lack of critical thinking and an abundance of ignorance and hate are three things that you will always find when it comes to hate groups, especially people like Murdough.
The anti-White scum in Maine who are harassing Dave Deschesne for running our book burning ad are the worst of the worst.
I have never harassed Deschesne, I’ve had no contact with him as of today, and he’s had no contact with me either. I do not condone harassment. But I also find it extremely hypocritical that Murdough is complaining about harassment as if he doesn’t have a lengthy rap sheet of it, earning him a trespass warning from the South Portland PD to stay off of South Portland school property for a year.
They aren’t just upset that we are running ads and burning books. They are upset because they are fully aware of what their fate is when we take power someday.
Personally, I wouldn’t say that I’m upset in the sense that my feelings are hurt. I would say that I’m more concerned about the fact that David Deschesne decided to promote Nazism; and stand by it as well. That’s why I’m writing this article, letting everyone know that us New Englanders will not let Nazis open their mouths without pushback.
Murdough then talks about his power fantasy.
I know that you disgusting pieces of shit read my Gab page so I am telling you directly:
When we take power, we are going to round up every anti-White scumbag we can find and we are going to toss you into a labor camp. Book burnings on private property will be the least of your worries. All businesses and organizations that promote anti-White ideas and policy will be ransacked and turned into NEWN related space.
That’s a promise.
I know this may sound shocking, but this is exactly what Murdough and his NEWN-Crew wants.
But here’s the thing: Ryan J. Murdough ran for State Representative back in 2010 in New Hampshire’s 8th district. He was denounced from the New Hampshire Republican party (even though he believes that the GOP “sold white people out”, he still ran as a republican), and he lost, only getting a staggering 296 votes, even though he was funded by the white supremacist American Third Position, or A3P party when he was the Chairman of New Hampshire.
So if Murdough can’t even win an election, how does he think he’ll start “rounding up” all of these so-called “anti-White scumbags” if he can’t even hold office when he’s getting bankrolled by other white supremacists?
It just doesn’t sound all that promising to me.
Before tagging all of his fascist-friends and providing a link to my article (thanks for the traffic XD), he tells us how he wants to eliminate queer people.
In 1933, National Socialists looted Magnus Hirschfeld‘s ‘Institute of Sexology’ and burned the contents inside. NEWN doesn’t just want to set back the homosexual and trans movement. We want it to be where it belongs, in the ashes of history.
Murdough is referring to an event on May 6, 1933, where the Nazis burned over 20,000 books from the world’s first clinic for transgender people.
Even though both Nazis, and the current administration are actively trying to strip queer people of their rights, that doesn’t mean that they’re going anywhere. Just because Ryan Murdough and his bigot-buddies are gonna get some books to burn, doesn’t mean that a trans person will disappear with every page that hits the flame, contrary to what Murdough would like to be true.
In the comments, Dennis Taylor gives me a news flash.
Just because Maine is old and white, doesn’t mean that all Mainers are Nazis. Not even half. Not even a quarter. There’s definitely a percentage of Mainers who are racist and a lot of that is more ignorance than anything since Maine is one of the whitest states in the country, but the notion that Mainers are mostly in favor of Murdough’s behavior is absolutely false.
I actually think that it’s great that Nazis are able to express themselves so we know who to stay away from. But then again, Murdough isn’t releasing the address because he doesn’t want to be too open with his beliefs.
On May 10, 2024, Murdough made a post talking about how NEWN was expanding into Maine, credits Dennis Taylor as the Maine president, and posted his email for prospective members to reach out if they want to get involved with his hate group.
(also side note, @Mainegroyper22 has been exposed by Stumptown Research and By Way Of Plymouth as Ian Langille of Chapman, Maine.)
Taylor was a plumber at one point and time, and we know this by looking through his comments.
We don’t know exactly what he looks like, but we do have this for a picture.
Taylor also wants Augusta politicians “hanging from lamp posts.”
The next two comments are from @Archer14 and @jjjgonzo.
I find it quite ironic how he’s talking about how I’m complaining about fascist traitors that think they have a place in New England, when they’re the ones who hate minorities so much that they have to start a book burning about it.
As of recently, Jay Gonzalez, or @jjjgonzo is the President of the Maine chapter of NEWN, as seen in this letter that he wrote to the Maine legislature, in opposition to LD 724, “An Act to Recognize Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha as State Holidays.”
In this letter, he talks about how both Islam and Sharia Law aren’t compatible with the Constitution, and complains about how Judaism is incompatible with his “homeland of Maine.” He also talks about how conservatives refuse to “identify the Jewish groups, financiers and facilitators of the 3rd world invasion of Maine.” At the end, he calls on “White Mainers to take a stand against ALL anti-White bills, organizations, and rhetoric.”
This is Gonzalez’s profile, where he references an anti-semitic trope in the last part of his bio.
Looking through his comments, we know that he’s a father, which is concerning since there’s a possibility that he could be raising his children to be fascists like him.
We also know that he was the one responsible for distributing NEWN flyers in Jay, Maine on February 15, 2025, though I’m unsure of where this establishment is.
These are some comparably better images of the NEWN flyers on the door. The first image was allegedly found in a Hannaford in Jay, Maine on February 3rd.
Jay Gonzalez is just as vitriolic as Murdough, which you can see here in these comments that he’s made.
I find it interesting how he accuses someone of being a Jewish person impersonating a Christian, as if Jesus wasn’t jewish himself.
He also reposted a post talking about how “D-Day was A SATANIC RITUAL,” which will go to show you how much of a traitor he is to our country.
This “Archer14” character is allegedly the president of the Vermont chapter of NEWN, and they don’t seem all that pleasant either. They believe that Black people are “genetically unstable for our civilization,” and he also believes that Black people…can’t survive in the cold?
He’s also in favor of segregation.
I’ll tell you one thing, I’m not getting paid to live in the north, and I don’t understand how I could be “frozen out” by some anonymous neo-Nazi keyboard warrior in Vermont because they think that I’m…stealing their winter?
He also thinks that “America must die.”
And here are a few more of his nasty comments.
And here’s a “fedpost;” I think it’s safe to say that this individual could be violent, and obviously doesn’t care.
Aside from NEWN’s flyer distribution, there has been a sighting of a NEWN flag on a “rural road in Appleton, Maine, hanging from a pole suspended from a tree.” This was spotted on September 2, 2024. We don’t know which member this is, but they’re bold enough to fly their hate flag.
Kathleen Tomaselli with the Bangor Daily News ran the story about the advertisement today on April 13, 2025. The article talks about NEWN’s other propaganda campaigns as well.
Tomaselli mentions that Deschesne told the Bangor Daily News that his paper isn’t pro-white, and that he accepted the Nazi ad because he’s in support of free speech, referring to himself as “the middleman for providing information.”
But I knew that this article was coming. On April 5, 2025, Murdough made a post on Gab that showed the correspondence between him and Tomaselli.
Murdough says that the book burning will be located at an undisclosed location in Androscoggin County (and I also accidentally left this out of my other articles, it’ll be updated soon), and is only open to vetted members of the New England White Network. He says that the books were sourced from library book sales, and buying them in bulk. He describes NEWN as a “beacon of light and a symbol of rebellion for White People in New England.”
He also said that NEWN is “a peaceful group.” You can read the correspondence below.
And the responses from Murdough are here.
Under this post, one commenter says that Tomaselli “sounds like a real Karen,” to which a user named SKURGE (who is a suspected member of NEWN judging by their profile picture) along with Murdough attack the user for using the “anti-White slogan.”
Under the post where he posts the article from the Bangor Daily News, one commenter complained about how the article is behind a paywall, and how they didn’t want to pay for their “hit pieces degrading great White men working to protect their nation,” but they most likely didn’t read it until Murdough posted screenshots of the article later on.
Under the post with the screenshots, one user writes the article off as “demonic” and “racist.” This is the same person who has a “White Pride Worldwide” picture on their account.
This was quite the long winded response, but I wanted to write this to clear up the air a bit, and make sure the good citizens of New England are aware of the fascist bigots that are actively trying to taint the region.
There were some posts going around online of different people asking where the burning will be, and now we know that it’ll be somewhere in Androscoggin County. None of the other advertisers have any affiliation with Ryan J. Murdough and the New England White Network, and I strongly urge them to distance themselves from the Fort Fairfield Journal if they don’t want to be associated with the Nazi sympathizing David Deschesne.
Since many white supremacist groups operate with cowardice, Murdough hasn’t, and most likely won’t release the location of the book burning, and only allows vetted members of the New England White Network to attend the event.
I have a few dossiers the members of NEWN that are in the works as of now, and a dossier on the groups itself and its activity, along with Russell James of Machias, Maine who is the creator of the Colchester Collection and former member of North East White Pride, as well was Roy Linford Adams, a musician for a band named “13 Winters”, who used to run a gym out of Buxton, Maine, who also has since made his Gab account private ever since I mentioned him in my initial article about the book burning advertisement.
What can we do?
First, stay away from Ryan Murdough if you see him in public. He wants to round minorities up, it’s best not to interact with people in person who have such violent and genocidal ideologies.
Boycott David Deschesne and the Fort Fairfield Journal, along with DRD Audio/Visual, an A/V company that is run by Deschesne.
Like I said before, I don’t condone harassment, but it’s important to make your voice heard. Write a letter to Mr. Deschene and let him know how you feel about him promoting and defending Nazis.
UPDATE: Ryan Murdough posted a link to this article about three minutes ago on his Gab profile so all of his bigot-buddies can read it.
In the comment section, Archer14 says that this is the “best article [they’ve] read in at leats a year.” Wow what an accomplishment I’ve made.
And I wouldn’t say that there’s any “panic” going on about a bunch of Nazi-larpers getting together to burn books to epically own the Jews, but rather a condemnation of their disgusting beliefs.
Still don’t know what’s going on with all of this “rounding people up in Vermont” roleplay is all bout. It honestly feels like I should give them some privacy…
And to Russell James, Merleena Merlot, David Taylor, Jay Gonzalez, and the rest of Murdough’s crew, from the bottom of my heart, I truly do hope that you change your hateful ways.
But until then, keep cowering behind your fake-fascist-fantasies. Keep telling yourself that you’ll round these “anti-White scumbags” up.
Maybe I’ll believe it when one of you can manage to run for office instead of sitting around on Nazi websites complaining about Black people and Jews.
