Garrett Berna, LHMC, has been recorded conducting a great deal of the usual Patriot Front bullshit throughout Worcester County MA with other Patriot Front members.
December 7, 2025 at 9:52 PM
Garrett Berna, LHMC, can also be matched to Patriot Front actions by his unique facial shape, particularly a chin that possesses Leno-esque depth but not height.
December 7, 2025 at 9:52 PM
Garrett Berna, a Patriot Front member out of West Brookfield MA, is easily identifiable by his build and attire. A powerlifter with a 3/4-sleeve tattoo on his right arm, Berna inevitably wears the same duds to conceal his identifying marks. He also flexes a lot.

Third data point is that this year's NW7 Frontsgiving photos went out HOURS AGO, and Mark Hayden, his wife, Berna, HIS wife, and their kid were all visibly together in the same ROOM from the Magnano photo, on. The same. DAY. I FINALLY GOT YOU
December 7, 2025 at 9:52 PM
Magnano attended the last Network 7 Frontsgiving out of Plymouth MA. Gave a speech that sucked. Standing room only in what really seemed like a furnished attic.
December 7, 2025 at 9:52 PM
Second data point is that THE NEXT DAY Jonathan Magnano, an Italian man pretending to be German, calling himself "John Fassbinder", and an ex-Identity-Evropa guy, uploaded a photo of himself having attended a Frontsgiving SOMEWHERE in New England.
December 7, 2025 at 9:52 PM
First data point you need to know is that, on November 16th of this year, Hayden's and Berna's wives updated their FB profile photos, within a span of 70 minutes, to photos obviously taken in front of the same house. Lookin' a little queasy there, Mayden!
December 7, 2025 at 9:52 PM
Patriot Front does this thing called "Frontsgiving"? The idea is that it's a chance for members' families to meet in a friendly setting, share a meal, take some photos for the '(Tele)Gram, claim Thanksgiving as a movement holiday, that kinda thing. They've been doing it since 2022, maybe for longer.
December 7, 2025 at 9:52 PM
So I kept tabs on the accounts of both wives, Hayden's and Berna's, for interesting updates. There were a handful, like a photo of Berna's wife at a pumpkin patch that seemed to have Mark Hayden in the background. Then, last month, a whole-ass marlin jumps in my boat.
December 7, 2025 at 9:52 PM
Months back I noticed that Hayden's & Berna's wives were tagging each other a lot on public Facebook posts. Hayden has attempted to network member wives on his own wife's behalf in the past; PF member Nick Cerce a/k/a "Mike RI" guessed as much to Alex Beilman a few years before The Divorce.

I allege that Garrett Michael Berna, a licensed mental health counselor out of West Brookfield MA & practicing in Newton MA (lic. #LMHC10304), is dead certainly a member of Patriot Front and the New England Active Club. He's likely been active with both organizations since April 2024, if not before.
December 7, 2025 at 9:52 PM
Nick has a passion for graphic design, tinkered repeatedly with the Vanguard America logo while trying a hand at reviving VA, and may have access to stencil-making materials. He may have spent some time during summer 2024 getting into a flyering war with the Worcester MA American Iron Front chapter.
November 29, 2025 at 5:02 PM
Nick, fascinatingly, claims that he has been banned from his local Six Flags (likely the one in Agawam MA) until 2028.
November 29, 2025 at 5:02 PM
He claims to have members of his family who a "very well known in certain fields". He also claims members of his extended family were injured in the Boston Marathon bombing.
November 29, 2025 at 5:02 PM
He claims relation to the Proctors (amongst the original Pilgrim settlers) and knights in his British lineage. He also claims that one of his grandfathers supported Hitler & Mussolini while enlisted in the U.S. military.
November 29, 2025 at 5:02 PM
To his own admission, Nick is Greek & English, and roughly 110lbs as of August 2024. He claims to have visited the Vatican, despite indicating he is Protestant elsewhere.
November 29, 2025 at 5:02 PM
Nick is fond of threats of violence, accelerationist rhetoric, and the extermination of leftists. He has composed an image that hearkened to the way the Christchurch and Buffalo shooters decorated their weapons at least once.
November 29, 2025 at 5:02 PM
Nick claims to have been MAGA before radicalizing into a neo-Nazi. Nick claims that there are people on Telegram who know what he looks like, which may be in part because he is an infosec slob and has literally sent photos of his face to other people.
November 29, 2025 at 5:02 PM
Nick has claimed he's attending college, and has experience contracting. During fall 2024, he sure seemed to be bumming a lot of rides off folks; this implies he does not have a vehicle of his own, or if that he now has one it's a recent acquisition.
November 29, 2025 at 5:02 PM
Nick is highly likely to be currently active in Essex County. Not only is this where much of NEYC's activity concentrated, but to his own account he spends time in an area that is predominantly white. Newburyport (90.98% white) and Amesbury (86.48% white) fit that bill.
November 29, 2025 at 5:02 PM
On that note, Nick has implied he was part of the Patriot Youth effort to identify and doxx members of the American Iron Front Discord server. If the header on that NEAW blog is any indication, he is likely monitoring current AIF spaces online.
November 29, 2025 at 5:02 PM
Northeast 131 and Nick sure have a couple of bugaboos in common, particularly Daryle Lamont Jenkins and the SRA. Said account appears to be part of a larger, inorganic, sloppily coordinated "AntifaWatch" effort that honestly is probably just a dozen Patriot Front members in fedoras.
November 29, 2025 at 5:02 PM
Nick has changed his Telegram handle and name several times since, including to "northernguy131" late last month, a name that, while familiar in more ways than one, reminds me of this Twitter user going by "Northeast 131" and a related blog that popped up earlier this year.
November 29, 2025 at 5:02 PM
I first encountered "Nick" as "Continental" in NSC-131 member Bobby Garcia's Historical New England chat. Others quickly clocked Nick as a Patriot Front member; despite this, Chris Hood quickly appeared to take an interest in the guy.
November 29, 2025 at 5:02 PM
Please reach out if you have information about "Nicholas MA," a self-admitted member of Patriot Front and the likely founder of the New England Youth Club. Nick, who has a hand in PF's efforts to recruit teenagers, may be a college student in Essex County MA.
