Let’s give a big warm welcome to violent neo-Nazi, security guard, and NSC-131 member Austin J. Conti of W. Warwick, Rhode Island. We’ve known Austin’s identity for awhile, but lacked final confirmation, so he was kind enough to get himself arrested to confirm for us!
Alongside Stephen Farrea of Portsmouth, Rhode Island, Austin was arrested recently for putting up neo-Nazi posters for the group Nationalist Social Club 131 in East Providence, Rhode Island. But we have many more details on Austin
Austin who, joined NSC in late 2021, has not only participated in various neo-Nazi demonstrations intended to intimidate New England communities, but has continuously pumped out violently racist and anti-Semitic content under the pseudonyms “Steel Pete” and “Pete SS”
Austin Conti on numerous occasions has praised Nazism and violent hatred against Jewish people, women, LGBTQIA+ people, and POC. One profile bio of his reads “6 million wasn’t enough”, a reference to killing Jewish people and the Holocaust.
Taking part in multiple NSC demonstrations, “Steel Pete” was recognizable from his Green hoodie, a hoodie that is coincidentally from a gift shop in West Warwick, RI and matches with a hoodie Austin Conti owns. hmmm.
Austin was most notably in attendance at NSC’s St. Patrick’s Day demonstration in South Boston in March 2022. He was also at several neo-Nazi banner drops in early March 2022.
Law enforcement and other groups say small white nationalist gatherings should not be dismissed as harmless.
According to NSC chats and materials shared by “Steel Pete”, “Pete” is the main NSC recruiter for Rhode Island, was in the military, and lived in Yuma, Arizona. Guess who else happens to live in Rhode Island, have lived in Yuma and was in the military? DING DING, AUSTIN CONTI
How do we know this? Lucky for us, Austin is also a fucking moron, and used the same distinct username for his neo-Nazi telegram account and his personal TikTok, which led us to his name and a wealth of information and many similarities.
For example, in one Tiktok posted by Austin, he appears to have the same distinct sleeveless shirt with an iron cross logo as “SteelPete” wore in a briefly used as his Telegram profile picture, along with very similar features and build.
Perhaps most concerning is that Austin Conti appears to be a security guard in Rhode Island, made clear by the numerous TikToks he made about his job. Considering Austin’s extreme neo-Nazi politics, this poses a huge danger to POC, Jewish, and LGBTQIA+ folx
Because Austin scrubbed much of his personal internet history, we have been unable to find the company or institution that employs Austin as a security guard. If anyone has any information or leads on Austin’s employment please reach out via DM or Email!!
To conclude, Austin J. Conti of West Warwick, Rhode Island is a violent and highly involved neo-Nazi organizer for NSC. His work as a security guard is a danger to communities and those who employ him, and his arrest is just the latest act of his failed neo-Nazi organizing
Please spread and share this information across your communities, and if anyone has information on Austin Conti, or on other NSC members, please DM us or email us at afg161@ protonmail. com
