Overview

The American Futurist, commonly referred to as AmFuT or TAF, first emerged in 2020 as the media outlet and propaganda arm of the now-defunct white nationalist group National Socialist Resistance Front (NSRF), formerly known as the National Socialist Order (NSO). As that organization dissolved, AmFuT continued independently, evolving into a more digitally focused accelerationist extremist collective.

Today, AmFuT promotes a hardline neo-Nazi ideology rooted in the belief that the United States (US) government is irredeemable and must be brought down through violent revolution. The group explicitly rejects political solutions and aligns itself with the teachings of Siege by James Mason, pushing for lone-wolf attacks and the creation of chaos as a means to accelerate societal collapse.

Unlike threat actors that I profiled in previous reports, AmFuT does not revolve around individual identities or leadership figures. It functions as a decentralized propaganda cell, which made traditional attribution impossible. That is precisely what made it an ideal target to further test StealthMole’s capabilities.

Using StealthMole’s integrated tools, including Dark Web Tracker, Telegram Tracker, Compromised Data Set, ULP Binder and others, I was able to trace the group’s operational network, uncover its propaganda strategy, and document its partnerships and influence operations across the dark web and encrypted platforms.

Incident Trigger and Initial Investigation

The investigation began with a keyword query for "American Futurist" via StealthMole's Dark Web Tracker, which immediately identified an active .onion domain:

This domain functions as AmFuT’s primary media hub. It hosts a range of extremist content, including ideological essays, neo-Nazi manifestos, propaganda, and commemorations of convicted white supremacist actors. The material is explicitly anti-government, advocates racial violence, and frequently references accelerationist doctrine, especially themes drawn from Siege by James Mason.

In addition to textual propaganda, the site features highly stylized visual assets: logos, cover images, and banners, that reinforce AmFuT’s brand and ideological positioning. These materials were later used to cross-reference and confirm the group’s presence across multiple other dark web services and Telegram channels.

What made this domain stand out during initial inspection was the strategic use of resilient design principles: multiple mirrors, frequent domain cycling, and hardened privacy features. This allowed AmFuT to remain active even as clearnet domains were monitored or removed. Their ability to continuously publish high-risk content with minimal downtime speaks to a professional-grade understanding of dark web operations.

A. Onion Network Mapping

Through recursive domain pivoting, five active dark web domains used by AmFuT were discovered:

  1. Primary portal: nj************************************************id.onion
  2. Staff page: uo****************************************************yd.onion
  3. Donations: j7****************************************************qd.onion/donate/
  4. Mirror host: amf*******************************************vgyd.onion
