一个现已不复存在的新纳粹和白人至上主义留言板的聊天记录中嵌入了针对多个种族群体的反犹太主义和种族主义言论——由一名现役美国海军陆战队步兵撰写。
副报告说至少三名美国军人是铁血游行留言板上的海报，哪个南方贫困法律中心称之为“年轻新纳粹分子和新法西斯分子有影响力的在线聚会场所”
副警长没有认出海报，但是新闻周刊已确认其中一人是美国海军陆战队一等兵利亚姆·柯林斯，20岁，步枪兵，隶属于北卡罗来纳州海军陆战队勒尤尼基地营第二营布拉沃连第二排。柯林斯，作为用户13110，在铁马奇的留言板上至少张贴了21次。
新闻周刊试图在周四和周五多次联系柯林斯，使用与他相关的电话号码，通过电子邮件和社交媒体。就在这篇报道发表之前，柯林斯关闭了他的脸书账户。
在对...的声明中新闻周刊，海军陆战队表示，它打算“全面调查这一指控。如果得到证实，海军陆战队将承担全部责任。”
周三，一个中央铁血游行数据库被泄露。一个名为“反数据”的匿名用户似乎上传了包含铁血游行参与者大量信息的文件，其中许多人声称与美国军方有关联。
独立调查新闻网站贝灵卡特著名的数据转储，它不仅包含单个消息的内容，还包含与每个消息相关联的IP地址和唯一用户标识。
联系了一名前美国陆军步兵军官新闻周刊周三，数据库中有一名现役美国海军陆战队士兵的信息。这名前士兵与柯林斯没有任何关系，因为害怕新纳粹和白人至上主义团体的报复，要求匿名。
包含数据库中100多篇文章和附带元数据的电子表格已提供给新闻周刊。在给另一个参与者的消息中，用户新闻周刊被确认为柯林斯的人在柯林斯的脸书上发布了一个链接，上面写着“添加我”
该用户在聊天室的发言进一步证实了这一点。数据库的真实性尚未由独立验证新闻周刊但据美国军方消息来源和研究人员称，据信含有铁血行军留言板的原始数据。
新闻周刊记者发现，与用户13110相关的知识产权地址可以追溯到新泽西州的新普罗维登斯。选民登记信息和美国军事记录由新闻周刊显示柯林斯的家庭住址在新普罗维登斯。
铁血游行论坛被认为是由...创建Alexander Mukhitdinov。《铁血行军》活跃时，布兰登·拉塞尔联合创始人臭名昭著的新纳粹组织Attomwaffen分部参与了弗吉尼亚州夏洛茨维尔2017年的暴力事件——张贴文档据SPLC称，其中包含2017年5月中旬“铁血游行”论坛的“准军事战术”信息。
铁血游行网站与几起暴力事件有关恐怖主义根据SPLC和《副总统新闻》的报道。这个被认为是柯林斯的人在留言板上发表的评论似乎发生在他接受海军新兵训练营之前，但当时他与美国军方签订了一份名为“延迟进入计划”的海军步兵合同。
在对...的声明中新闻周刊周四，海军发言人乔·赖特中尉说，“海军陆战队和第二海军陆战队在这一点上是明确的:海军陆战队没有种族仇恨或极端主义的地方。偏见和种族极端主义与我们的核心价值观背道而驰。”
赖特说，前海军陆战队司令罗伯特·内勒将军在2018年3月签署的一项修订命令更新并调整了现有海军陆战队政策，使之符合国防部的指示，宣布“骚扰、非法歧视、任何形式的虐待:欺凌、欺凌、排斥、报复、不当传播或广播亲密图像，以及某些持不同政见者和抗议活动(包括至上主义活动)”为非法
海军陆战队称，该命令重申了该部队的承诺，“维护一种尊严、尊重和信任的文化，在这种文化中，该组织的所有成员都有平等的机会”，并且“违反该命令可能会导致惩罚性行动。”
根据柯林斯的一份人事档案，根据步兵合同，柯林斯于2017年8月21日首次加入美国海军陆战队新闻周刊已审核。
铁血游行电子表格不包括日期和时间戳，尽管铁血游行用户13110在留言板上发布的声明由新闻周刊柯林斯指出，它们是在2017年春天或前后制造的。
“你跟上特朗普了吗？”他问另一个用户。"他和马多格正在猛烈抨击伊朗。"
提及前国防部长詹姆斯“疯狗”马蒂斯表明，这些评论是在马蒂斯在特朗普政府任职期间发表的。因为铁血游行在2017年11月被取消，这些职位很可能是在那一年早些时候设立的。
有线电视新闻网文章从2017年2月起证实了这一时间表，注意到马蒂对伊朗的激烈言论，并将其描述为“他对伊朗的第一次评论”
这些评论是在柯林斯接受海军新兵训练营训练之前，但在他报名加入美国海军陆战队之后发表的。
“怎么了魔鬼。我拿到了我的UH合同，所以现在我有了保证的0300插槽。希望明年ITB·[步兵营结束后，我会在勒尤尼]。留下来，这样我就可以在基地里有一些法西斯朋友，哈哈，”铁血三月用户13110发布。
柯林斯的军事人员档案由新闻周刊显示他根据UH合同进入美国海军陆战队，并被训练为0311——一名海军步兵步枪兵——属于0300的称号。
这封邮件是两封邮件中的一封，这封邮件与新普罗维登斯的IP地址无关，而是一个位于邻近纽约的IP地址。但是，这些消息由相同的唯一作者标识链接。
用户向聊天室中的其他退伍军人询问如何最佳导航海军陆战队新兵训练营以及位于北卡罗来纳州盖格营的步兵学校的行军路线，柯林斯将在那里接受海军步兵训练。
有一次，他给另一张铁血游行海报写道，“我在军队里有很多法西斯朋友。他们说有很多“红堡”士兵，因为像布拉格堡这样的主要基地到处都是“红堡”。你还隶属于哪个单位？”(这篇文章详细阐述了种族主义诽谤。)
另一篇来自用户13110的帖子显示，他将在2017年夏天参加海军新兵训练营。这一声明与柯林斯于2017年8月在南卡罗来纳州海军陆战队新兵训练营帕里斯岛开始基础训练时的说法一致，当时距离铁血行军聊天板关闭大约还有三个月。
“实际上我自己也是海军陆战队的士兵。我夏天出海。我真的认为现在是加入的最佳时机，否则会变得很糟糕，”用户写道。“它仍然是最白的分支，与其他分支完全不同，它训练人。我怀疑我们会在未来5-10年内看到另一场地面战争，但我可能错了。目前只部署了3%的舰队。”
后来在聊天板上，他开始与另一张铁血游行海报通信。13110问，“兄弟，怎么了？你住在犹太约克的哪个区？”一位身份证号为13861的用户回信说，他们住在新泽西北部。
“在新泽西的哪里？我住在顶峰附近，”用户13110回答。
山顶城离柯林斯居住的新普罗维登斯只有几英里。
每条铁行军消息都与一个用户唯一的互联网协议地址相关联，该地址被称为一个IP地址。数字序列类似于个人的家庭地址，可以显示个人用户在互联网上发布时的地理位置。
用户13110将新普罗维登斯描述为“美国最洁净的地区，因此很难找到法西斯同党。”他问用户13861他们是否属于准军事单位。
“你有兴趣见面吗？用户13110写道:“我知道你对论坛是全新的，但如果你对自己的意识形态是认真的，我会努力扩大欧洲人的联系，与一些人见面。”。“我在高中的最后一年，我加入了海军陆战队，所以在我离开之前，我一直在寻找一些当地的联系。”
柯林斯现在20岁，快21岁了。两年前，当《铁血三月》发表评论时，柯林斯已经18岁了，快19岁了。这与一个高中最后一年的人是一致的。
用户13110随后邀请另一张海报参加他与纽约和宾夕法尼亚州的另外三个人建立的小型脸书群聊，他们也是他在铁血三月聊天室遇到的法西斯分子。
“我感觉你不是摩萨德特工，所以你愿意加入我们的聊天吗？他写道:“这原本只适用于波兰人，但我认为我们可以为一些瓦拉几族人破例。”。
根据他现在停用的脸书页面，柯林斯似乎有波兰血统。他的母亲有一个波兰姓氏，他与多个波兰语言账户有关联。
用户13110然后提供柯林斯的脸书网址，这样新用户就可以加入他的脸书小聊天室。在他的脸书上，可以看到柯林斯穿着他的海军陆战队制服。他是波士顿布鲁因斯队和波士顿红袜队的球迷。他以前住在马萨诸塞州的阿特勒博罗。
在与另一位用户的对话中，13110曾透露，在他服役后，他计划成为一名私人军事承包商或“创建一个准军事组织”
"你考虑过阿卡迪亚米(黑水公司)吗？"他说。“我不太确定他们现在在做什么，但这通常是大多数男人追求的。老实说，这些天动荡的冲突对我来说似乎太无聊了。”
聊天室中用户13110的对话者在谈话中也使用了种族主义诽谤。一位和他聊天的用户说，“杀死一些沙子”导致了美国服务人员的脸红，暗示着一种流行的极端分子迷因意味着了解现实的真实本质。
柯林斯的一个熟人，联系方式是新闻周刊，形容美国海军陆战队是“甜蜜的，但他使用了一些相同的术语”在铁马奇留言板。
新闻周刊由于害怕报复，该熟人匿名。消息来源称，柯林斯在描述他的朋友时主要使用“波兰人”一词。
这位熟人还听说柯林斯使用了短语“犹太人约克”，这是一个反犹太人的术语，也被用户13110使用。
“我只是不明白他说的一些短语，主要是因为他的家人是波兰人，他来自波士顿地区，”这位熟人回忆道。
去年，所谓的新纳粹分子和美国海军陆战队准下士瓦西里奥斯·皮斯托利斯已被判刑的在军事法庭的简易听证会上被指控不服从命令和做虚假陈述。皮斯托里已经被普罗大众确认为隶属于白人至上主义团体Atomwaffen分部和传统主义工人党的前线-普罗大众联合纪录片的主题。他似乎也承认参与了臭名昭著的2017年夏洛茨维尔集会的暴力袭击。
国防部的规定禁止军队加入任何帮派或支持极端主义意识形态。最近几个月，立法者敦促军方领导人采取更多措施，积极打击武装部队中的极端主义潮流。
五角大楼2020年预算提案中插入了新的拨款语言，要求军方向国会提交一份报告，记录违反其反极端主义政策的行为。
在2018年9月投票由《军事时报》进行的调查显示，大约22%的军队报告在他们的同伴中看到了白人民族主义或种族主义的例子。超过三分之一的受访者表示，白人民族主义对美国构成的威胁比移民问题或叙利亚和阿富汗的冲突更大。
“与任何形式的仇恨或极端主义团体的联系或参与直接违背了我们作为海军陆战队所代表的荣誉、勇气和承诺的核心价值观，这是海军陆战队所不能容忍的，”莱特中尉说。
“我们感到自豪的是，海军陆战队来自各个种族、信仰、文化背景和行业。我们期望每个海军陆战队员都以尊严和尊重对待他们的战友。那些不重视他人贡献的人，无论背景如何，都会破坏我们的文化和战斗力，在我们的队伍中没有一席之地，”莱特中尉说。
ACTIVE DUTY MARINE WHO POSTED RACIST SLURS ON NEO NAZI WEBSITE IS IDENTIFIED: 'ANYBODY ELSE SHARE OUR VIEWS?'

Embedded among the chat logs from a now-defunct neo-Nazi and white supremacist message board are anti-Semitic and racist remarks directed at multiple ethnic groups—written by an active-duty U.S. Marine Corps infantryman.
Vice reported that at least three members of the U.S. military were posters on the message boards of Iron March, which the Southern Poverty Law Center describes as an "influential online gathering place for young neo-Nazis and neo-fascists."
Vice did not identify the posters, but Newsweek has identified one of them as U.S. Marine Lance Corporal Liam J. Collins, 20, a rifleman with 2nd Platoon, Bravo Company of the 1st Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, an infantry unit out of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in North Carolina. Collins, as user 13110, posted at least 21 times on the message boards of Iron March.
Newsweek attempted to reach Collins multiple times on Thursday and Friday, using a phone number associated with him and via email and through social media. Just before publication of this story, Collins deactivated his Facebook account.
In a statement to Newsweek, the Marine Corps said it intends to "fully investigate this allegation. If substantiated, the subject Marine will be held fully accountable."
A central Iron March database was leaked on Wednesday. An anonymous user going by the name of "antifa-data" appears to have uploaded files containing volumes of messages from Iron March participants, many of whom claim an affiliation with the U.S. military.
The independent investigative news site Bellingcat noted the data dump, which contains not only the contents of individual messages but IP addresses and unique user IDs associated with each message.
A former U.S. Army infantry officer contacted Newsweek Wednesday with information about an active-duty U.S. Marine within the database. The former soldier, who has no relationship with or ties to Collins, requested anonymity due to fear of retaliation from neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups.
A spreadsheet containing over 100 posts from the database and accompanying metadata was provided to Newsweek. In a message to another participant, the user Newsweek identified as Collins posted a link to Collins' Facebook profile, saying "Add me."
Further confirmation came through statements made by that user in the chat room. The authenticity of the database has not been independently verified by Newsweek but is believed to contain raw data from the Iron March message boards, according to the U.S. Army source and researchers.
Newsweek reporters found that the IP address associated with user 13110 traced back to New Providence, New Jersey. Voter registration information and U.S. military records reviewed by Newsweek show that Collins' home address is in New Providence.
The Iron March forum is believed to be founded by Alexander Mukhitdinov. While Iron March was active, Brandon Russell—a co-founder of the notorious neo-Nazi group Attomwaffen Division which participated in the Charlottesville, Virginia, violence in 2017—posted a document containing information about "paramilitary tactics" to the Iron March forums in mid-May 2017, according to SPLC.
The Iron March website is linked to several acts of violence and terrorism, according to SPLC and a report in Vice News. Comments posted to the message board from the individual believed to be Collins seem to have occurred before he underwent Marine boot camp but while under a Marine infantry contract, known as the Delayed Entry Program, with the U.S. military.
In a statement to Newsweek on Thursday, Marine spokesman 1st Lieutenant Joe Wright said, "The Marine Corps, and by association, the Second Marine Division is clear on this: There is no place for racial hatred or extremism in the Marine Corps. Bigotry and racial extremism run contrary to our core values."
Wright said a revised order signed by former Marine Commandant General Robert Neller in March 2018, updated and aligned existing Marine Corps policy with Defense Department instructions to outlaw "harassment, unlawful discrimination, any type of abuse: hazing, bullying, ostracism, retaliation, wrongful distribution or broadcasting of intimate images, and certain dissident and protest activity (to include supremacist activity)."
The Marine Corps said the order reaffirms the service's commitment to "maintaining a culture of dignity, respect, and trust in which all members of the organization are afforded equal opportunity," and that "violation of the order may result in punitive action."
Collins first joined the U.S. Marines on August 21, 2017, under an infantry contract, according to a copy of his personnel file Newsweek reviewed.
The Iron March spreadsheet did not include dates and timestamps, although statements on the messageboard posted by Iron March user 13110, identified by Newsweek as Collins, indicate they were made in or around the spring of 2017.
"Have you been keeping up with Trump?" he asked another user. "Him and Maddog are lashing out at Iran."
The reference to former Defense Secretary James "Mad Dog" Mattis suggests the comments came during Mattis's tenure in the Trump administration. Because Iron March was deactivated in November 2017, the posts were likely made earlier that year.
A CNN article from February 2017 corroborates this timeline, noting Mattis's fiery statements against Iran and describing them as "his first comments on the country."
The comments were made before Collins underwent Marine boot camp training but after he had signed up to enter the U.S. Marine Corps.
"What's up Devil. I got my UH Contract so now I have that guaranteed 0300 slot. Hopefully, I'll be in Lejeune by next year after ITB [Infantry Training Battalion]. Stick around so I can have some Fascist friends on base haha," Iron March user 13110 posted.
Collins' military personnel file reviewed by Newsweek shows that he entered the U.S. Marines under a UH contract and was trained as a 0311—a Marine infantry rifleman—which falls under the 0300 designation.
This particular message was one of two that was not associated with the New Providence IP address but an IP address based in neighboring New York. However, the messages are linked by the same unique author ID.
The user asks other military veterans in the chat room for advice on how to best navigate Marine Corps boot camp and the ruck marches at the School of Infantry, located at Camp Geiger in North Carolina, where Collins would undergo Marine infantry training.
At one point, he writes to another Iron March poster, saying, "I have a lot of Fascist friends in the Army. They say there are a lot of "Red-pilled" Soldiers due to the fact that major bases like Fort Bragg are infested with N****rs. Also what unit are you attached to?" (The post spelled out the racist slur in full.)
Another post from user 13110 indicates that he will undergo Marine boot camp in the summer of 2017. This statement aligns with when Collins began basic training at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island in South Carolina, in August 2017, some three months before the Iron March chat board would be shutdown.
"I'm actually enlisted in the Marine Corps myself. I ship out in the summer. I honestly think now is the best time to join before it gets really shitty," the user writes. "It's still the whitest branch, and trains men thoroughly unlike the other branches. I doubt we're gonna see another ground war within the next 5-10 years, but I could be wrong. Only 3% of the fleet is currently deployed."
Later in the chat board, he begins to correspond with another Iron March poster. 13110 asks, "What's going on brother? What borough of Jew York do you live in?" A user with the ID 13861 writes back, saying they live in North Jersey.
"Where at in North Jersey? I live near Summit," user 13110 replies.
The City of Summit is only a few miles from New Providence, where Collins resides.
Each Iron March message is associated with a user's unique Internet Protocol address, known as an IP address. The sequence of numbers is similar to an individual's home address and can show where an individual user's geographical location is at the time they posted to the Internet.
User 13110 describes New Providence as the "most Kosher part of the United States so it makes it hard to find fellow Fascists." He asks user 13861 if they're into paramilitary units.
"Would you ever be interested in meeting up? I know you're brand new to the forum, but if you're serious about your ideology, I'm trying to extend a liaison for Ethnic Europeans and meet up with some guys," user 13110 writes. "I'm in my last year of High School and I'm enlisted in the Marine Corps, so I've been looking to make some local connections before I ship out."
Collins is presently 20 years old, soon to turn 21. Two years ago, when the Iron March comments were made, Collins would have been 18 years old, about to turn 19. That is consistent with an individual in their last year of high school.
User 13110 later invites the other poster to a small Facebook group chat he has set up with three other men from New York and Pennsylvania, who are also fascists he met on the Iron March chat board.
"I have a feeling you're not a Mossad agent, so would you like to join our chat? It was originally for Polaks only but I think we can make an exception for some Vlachs lol," he writes.
According to his now-deactivated Facebook page, Collins appears to have Polish heritage. His mother has a Polish surname and he associated with multiple Polish-language accounts.
User 13110 then provides Collins' Facebook URL address so the new user can join his small Facebook chat room. On his Facebook, Collins can be seen wearing his Marine Corps uniform. He's a Boston Bruins and a Boston Red Sox fan. He previously lived in Attleboro, Massachusetts.
At one point in a conversation with another user, 13110 reveals that, after his service, he plans on working as a private military contractor or "creating a Paramilitary."
"Have you considered Academi (Blackwater)?" he says. "I'm not too sure what they're up to these days but that's typically what most guys go for. Honestly the volatile conflicts these days seem too boring for me."
User 13110's interlocutor in the chat room also employed racist slurs during their conversation. One user he was chatting with said that "killing some sand n****rs" contributes to the red-pilling of U.S. service members, an allusion to a popular extremist meme connoting learning the true nature of reality.
An acquaintance of Collins, contacted by Newsweek, described the U.S. Marine as "sweet, but he has used some of the same terminology" employed in the Iron March message boards.
Newsweek granted anonymity to the acquaintance because they feared retaliation. The source said Collins would mainly use the term "Polaks" when describing his friends.
The acquaintance also heard Collins use the phrase "Jew York," an anti-Semitic term also employed by user 13110.
"I just didn't understand some of the phrases he said, mainly because he has family that's Polish and he is from the Boston area," the acquaintance recalled.
Last year, alleged neo-Nazi and U.S. Marine Lance Corporal Vasillios Pistolis was convicted at a summary court martial hearing on charges of disobeying orders and making false statements. Pistolis had been identified by ProPublica and was the subject of a joint Frontline-ProPublica documentary as affiliated with the white supremacist groups Atomwaffen Division and the Traditionalist Worker Party. He also appeared to confess to participating in violent assaults at the infamous 2017 Charlottesville rally.
Defense Department rules prohibit troops from having any gang affiliation or espousing extremist ideologies. Lawmakers have in recent months pressed military leaders to do more to proactively combat currents of extremism in the armed forces.
New appropriations language inserted into a proposed Pentagon budget for 2020 would require the military to submit a report to Congress documenting violations of its policies against extremism.
In a September 2018 poll conducted by The Military Times, around 22 percent of troops reported seeing examples of white nationalism or racism among their peers. More than a third of respondents said white nationalism posed a bigger threat to the United States than immigration issues or the conflicts in Syria and Afghanistan.
"Association or participation with hate or extremist groups of any kind is directly contradictory to the core values of honor, courage, and commitment that we stand for as Marines, and isn't tolerated by the Marine Corps," said 1st Lieutenant Wright.
"We are proud of the fact that Marines come from every race, creed, cultural background and walk of life. We expect every Marine to treat their fellow Marines with dignity and respect. Those who can't value the contributions of others, regardless of background, are destructive to our culture, our warfighting ability, and have no place in our ranks," said 1st Lieutenant Wright.
