TELLICO PLAINS, Tennessee
\n \u00a0\u2014\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n In east Tennessee, at the end of a winding dirt road, a mother glances into the woods she roamed as a child. It\u2019s a deep and dramatic vista: a patchwork of pines and oaks disappearing into an endless Blue Ridge mountain range.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cWe used to ride four wheelers all through the woods,\u201d said the woman, who spoke to CNN on the condition of anonymity due to fears for her safety. \u201cWe had secret hiding places, we\u2019d just be gone for hours \u2026 our parents wouldn\u2019t even know where we were.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n But things are different now.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cI\u2019m afraid to let my own kids do the same things I did,\u201d said the mother of three, who sternly warns her kids: \u201cWhatever you do, don\u2019t go to that side. Because I don\u2019t know what they\u2019re going to do.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201c(They\u2019re) making us all scared to leave our houses.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n The woman is fearful of her new neighbors: a collection of White supremacists associated with the group Patriot Front.\n <\/p>\n

\n The group is one of the most active<\/a> White nationalist societies in the US. Members of the organization \u2013 which the Southern Poverty Law Center has designated a hate group \u2013 hold rallies with hundreds of people in cities across the country wearing masks, brandishing riot shields and waving Confederate flags.\n <\/p>\n

\n Now CNN has tracked the group\u2019s progress in building an Appalachian base, on a 124-acre compound outside the picturesque town on Tellico Plains.\n <\/p>\n

\n Over the course of that months-long reporting, a picture has emerged of the radical characters involved with the property, including a notorious neo-Nazi family and a pagan mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter.\n <\/p>\n

\n But our reporting has also highlighted the deepening divisions their presence has stirred among nearby residents, and the persistent threat of White supremacist activism across the county. Only three states \u2013 Texas, Alabama and Pennsylvania \u2013 saw more White Supremacist events last year than Tennessee, according to data compiled by the Anti-Defamation League.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cThey\u2019re part of a broader network,\u201d said Daryl Johnson, a former senior analyst at the Department of Homeland Security and domestic extremism expert, told CNN of Patriot Front. \u201cWhether it\u2019s at rallies, or whether they have closed meetings (or) fight clubs, (members) can rub shoulders with members from other groups.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n In a worst-case scenario, Johnson said, \u201cthat\u2019s how a secretive terrorist cell could form.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n The group\u2019s leader, Thomas Rousseau, has not responded to CNN\u2019s repeated requests for comment for this story. In the space of a few years, the 27-year-old has become one of the standard-bearers of the White nationalist movement.\n <\/p>\n

\n He says that only White people of European heritage can call themselves American. His group\u2019s manifesto claims that \u201cAmericans are on the threshold of becoming a conquered people.\u201d The group advocates a return to an ultra-conservative society; Rousseau says women should not involve themselves with politics, and in interviews has called for the deportation of both citizens and non-citizens.\n <\/p>\n

\"Thomas<\/p>\n

\n \u201cThose of foreign birth may occupy civil status within the lands occupied by the state, and they may even be dutiful citizens, yet they may not be American,\u201d their manifesto states.\n <\/p>\n

\n Patriot Front describes itself as a non-violent group, but its protests have targeted a Pride parade<\/a>, and the group was found liable this year for a violent and brutal attack against a Black man during a rally in Boston.\n <\/p>\n

\n Jason Lee Van Dyke, a Texas lawyer who has represented Rousseau several times, pushed back against the idea that the Patriot Front is violent.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cI\u2019ve had a professional relationship with Mr. Rousseau and had the opportunity to meet some of these gentlemen. I cannot say there\u2019s been a single time where they\u2019ve been encouraged to do anything violent,\u201d said Van Dyke, who added that he is not a member of the group.\n <\/p>\n

\n Drone footage captured by CNN in November, paired with satellite imagery stretching back several years to before Patriot Front began managing the property in 2021, show that at least five buildings have been erected on the remote Tennessee property, including a barn-like gym where fight clubs are held.\n <\/p>\n

\n Neighbors told CNN that electricity has been installed at the compound, and that loud noises fill the air when the group holds events.\n <\/p>\n

\n And videos that Patriot Front\u2019s members have shared online \u2013 which have been viewed by CNN \u2013 show the training, the spiritual rituals and the bloody, bare-knuckle fights that take place inside.\n <\/p>\n

\n Patriot Front was founded by Thomas Rousseau in the aftermath of the \u201cUnite the Right\u201d rally in Charlottesville<\/a> in 2017, which Rousseau attended as a high school student. It was born from a previous group, Vanguard America, and quickly developed a sharp sense for optics: Rousseau is known for subjecting his members to a tough fitness program, and his group has a presence on several little-moderated social media channels to reach young men.\n <\/p>\n

\n The group\u2019s recent marches have been attended by around 250 members, according to a CNN analysis. Only White men of European heritage are permitted to join.\n <\/p>\n

\n Van Dyke, Rousseau\u2019s lawyer, told CNN: \u201cI think the notion that this is a violent group is nonsense.\u201d Van Dyke said he met Rousseau because both men were Eagle Scouts, and has gone on to defend him multiple times.\n <\/p>\n

\"Thomas<\/p>\n

\n Patriot Front has long held events at a site in Texas, Rousseau\u2019s home state. But more recently, the photos and videos they share online indicate that they have branched out to the Tennessee property.\n <\/p>\n

\n The group is highly secretive; members, with the exception of Rousseau, are required to wear masks at their rallies, and their faces are blurred in any material published over social media. They do not publicly disclose the location of the Tennessee site, but CNN pinpointed several photos and videos to the site by analyzing the physical surroundings and matching the mountain range in the background of one training video to the hills surrounding Tellico Plains.\n <\/p>\n

\n The facility is managed by Ian Elliott, a leading Patriot Front figure who also serves as Rousseau\u2019s bodyguard during the group\u2019s rallies.\n <\/p>\n

\n Elliott did not respond to CNN\u2019s repeated requests for comment. CNN asked Elliott for an interview and to tour the compound; Telegram\u2019s read receipt feature shows that somebody saw our messages but did not reply.\n <\/p>\n

\n In a short film he posted on the messaging app earlier this year, he discussed his plans for the property, which he calls \u201ctribal land.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cTribal land was a project that began almost a decade ago,\u201d says Elliott, who goes by the name \u201cNorman\u201d within the group. \u201cIt stemmed from some of the same desires that many like-minded, like-blooded people have for an intentional community, (a) private property, self-sustainable property.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\"Screenshot-2025-12-08-at-1.47.38\u202fPM.jpg\"<\/p>\n

\n \u201cConstruction and full-time living on that property started closer to about four years ago, and I\u2019ve been out there full-time myself now for about two years,\u201d Elliott says. He explains that his plans for the property are inspired by Odinism, a pagan religion based on ancient Norse beliefs that has become popular in some White nationalist circles.\n <\/p>\n

\n Building work at the facility has happened quickly. Several neighbors spoke to CNN but declined to be interviewed on the record; they said that people, vehicles and supplies have come and gone in recent years and that electricity has been installed. Satellite imagery shows that several plots have been cleared for erecting buildings, and the film shared by Elliott shows more than 40 people working on the site.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cWe\u2019ve been out there in every season, every type of weather, roofing, (doing) concrete work, timber, sawmills, putting in walls, running electrical circuits, plumbing,\u201d Elliott says in the film. \u201cWhen we got out there initially, there was no roads. There was nothing at all.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n In a video shared with Patriot Front members on Telegram earlier this year, Rousseau disputed local media coverage of the property. \u201cThis is not a compound. There is no encircling wall, there\u2019s no guard towers, there\u2019s no spotlights, there\u2019s no barbed wire,\u201d he said.\n <\/p>\n

\n When CNN visited the site, we saw No Trespassing signs in the driveway and did not set foot on the group\u2019s property.\n <\/p>\n

\n But the group\u2019s presence is stoking tensions in the community.\n <\/p>\n

\n The compound sits just outside the limits of Tellico Plains, a peaceful Appalachian town that\u2019s home to around 800 residents. There\u2019s a bakery, a couple of restaurants and taverns, and a number of churches.\n <\/p>\n

\n The town\u2019s mayor, Marilyn Parker, told CNN that some of her residents are worried about the group\u2019s presence.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cI get emails periodically about them,\u201d she said. \u201cPeople concerned, (asking) what are they doing there? \u2026 Are they militia, or are they just boxers?\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\"Tellico<\/p>\n

\n And a short drive west in the town of Athens, a jiu-jitsu school was nearly forced to close its doors after the community discovered that Elliott and a group of his friends \u2013 who had become regulars at the school \u2013 were members of Patriot Front.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cWe asked him and the people that were with him to no longer be here,\u201d Benjamin Timm, who runs the school, told CNN. \u201cHe was unhappy about that.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cBecause of the whole situation, the school almost closed down,\u201d Timm said. \u201cIt was just such a heated topic.\u201d Students expressed displeasure that they had been training alongside Elliott, and the school received negative online reviews from people across the country, the owner added.\n <\/p>\n

\n In videos shared on their Telegram accounts, new Patriot Front members are seen practicing tactics at the compound that they would later replicate on America\u2019s streets.\n <\/p>\n

\n One video shows a group of new recruits marching in time, brandishing riot shields and pushing back members acting as counter-protesters.\n <\/p>\n

\n These are scenes Charles Murrell III recalls too well. In 2022, Murrell, a Black musician, was on his way to play his saxophone outside Boston\u2019s Public Library when he was confronted by a group of masked Patriot Front protesters during an unsanctioned march through the city.\n <\/p>\n

\n One of the marchers called him a \u201ctar baby,\u201d a judge would later recount. Members of the march then blocked the sidewalk and surrounded Murrell, pushing him back two car lengths while a member yelled \u201cDo not break our ranks!\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cRousseau then yelled \u2018Right Screen,\u2019 and the group began shoving Murrell to the group\u2019s right, into the street,\u201d where they \u201cpressed him up against a concrete light post, knocked him to the ground, and hit and kicked him,\u201d the judge found, following a hearing at which Patriot Front and Rousseau failed to appear to offer a defense.\n <\/p>\n

\"Charles<\/p>\n

\n \u201cMy grandfather told me stories of his father being hunted by the KKK,\u201d Murrell told CNN in a recent interview. \u201cThis isn\u2019t a one-time event that I\u2019m dealing with.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Murrell was awarded $2.75 million in damages in January after suing Rousseau and his organization in civil court. He testified that he thought he was going to die during the attack; he still struggles to sleep through the night and occasionally wakes up covered in sweat.\n <\/p>\n

\n But the ruling and monetary award didn\u2019t bring Murrell closure \u2013 in part because no members of Patriot Front, including Rousseau, showed up in court. Aside from Rousseau, the members involved were sued as John Does, because they were masked and couldn\u2019t be identified. He says he still hasn\u2019t received any money from the group.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cI\u2019m just kind of left on a limb without any retribution, any apology, any kind of formal recognition from anybody,\u201d Murrell told CNN. \u201cAnd I\u2019m dealing with this day in and day out in a country where the temperature just continues to get worse for Black people.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Patriot Front says its members use riot shields and cover their faces with masks for self-defense, and Rousseau claims that his organization is non-violent. But much of his own rhetoric includes thinly veiled allusions to historic racial violence. On a recent podcast interview, he said: \u201cI\u2019m not going to endorse every lynching which ever happened, of course. But men used to be much more willing to put their skin in the game for what they believe.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\"GettyImages-2195074093.jpg\"<\/p>\n

\n Rousseau has also minimized the attack on Murrell in a podcast interview. \u201cThey\u2019re saying \u2018Oh, they\u2019re attacking people,\u2019\u201d he said during the conversation. \u201cA Black man attacked us and he got his finger hurt along the way.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Van Dyke, Rousseau\u2019s lawyer, did not represent him in the Boston case. But he disputed the ruling in a phone conversation with CNN, describing the verdict as \u201cvirtue signaling.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n He added: \u201cthe judgment against Patriot Front specifically is worthless, because there is no legal entity called Patriot Front. I don\u2019t know how they intend to collect (the damages).\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Van Dyke, who has also represented other extremist groups, including the Proud Boys and the neo-Nazi Aryan Freedom Network, told CNN: \u201cPart of the reason I represent these guys where I can is because nobody else will do it \u2026 If Patriot Front does not have First Amendment rights, then no one has First Amendment rights.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n He insisted that Patriot Front is a non-violent group.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cViolent behavior is in fact explicitly prohibited for members,\u201d he said. \u201cAs far as whether or not it is a white supremacist, white nationalist, or a fascist group \u2026 I\u2019m not even sure what those words mean anymore. A lot of these are words that are used as hyperbole as part of the political vocabulary.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Three years after a violent beating left him bloodied and in shock, Murrell said he is still suffering from trauma.\n <\/p>\n

\n He has tried to find empathy for his attackers. \u201cI wrestle with it, because I don\u2019t want to call these folks my brothers,\u201d he said.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cThey\u2019re walking around almost untouched \u2026 They\u2019re still walking around marching. They\u2019re still in their compound doing their thing,\u201d Murrell said. \u201cThat, to me, is the threat.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\"Members<\/p>\n

\n Rousseau has gone to great lengths to speak to both hardline neo-Nazis<\/a> to his right and disaffected members of the MAGA movement to his left, analysts say, and Patriot Front is often viewed as something of a bridge between the two. The group says it is not involved in electoral politics and has not endorsed President Donald Trump.\n <\/p>\n

\n But maintaining that delicate framing has at times posed a challenge for him. On occasions, Rousseau has hinted about wanting to inject his ideology into the political arena. \u201cWe need to create an organization, we need to create cultural, institutional, social, communal spaces, which can create the next generation (of) statesmen,\u201d he said on a podcast this year.\n <\/p>\n

\n And the activities and figures associated with his group lay bare the inconsistencies in his branding.\n <\/p>\n

\n In a podcast interview with Patrick Bet-David, Rousseau \u2013 who readily brings up the racial and societal theories of philosophers stretching back centuries \u2013 was asked his view on Adolf Hitler.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cI don\u2019t have any strong opinions on Hitler,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve never looked into him.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n In the same appearance, asked about a former grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, he said: \u201cI don\u2019t know a whole lot about David Duke\u2019s life \u2026 I will say that I\u2019m broadly unfamiliar with the man.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n But months later, Patriot Front hosted a 75th birthday party for Duke at another facility in Texas, which the former KKK leader attended. At the gathering, Duke was celebrated with live music, speeches and a three-tiered birthday cake adorned with Confederate flags and illustrations of the KKK hood.\n <\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

\"Patriot<\/p>\n

\n Patriot Front blurs the faces of its members, with the exception of Rousseau, in virtually all their material, including in photographs of Duke\u2019s birthday. It\u2019s unclear from photographs of the event whether Rousseau was in attendance. In a post on Telegram to its members to mark the occasion, Patriot Front praised Duke\u2019s \u201clong and remarkable political career\u201d and his \u201clifelong campaign for race-realism in America.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Events like these, and a conference that Patriot Front organized this year, are more than just celebrations: They\u2019re networking events, attended by individuals and groups from across the White supremacist and neo-Nazi spectrum. And they may provide a blueprint for Patriot Front\u2019s use of the Tennessee site.\n <\/p>\n

\n One group invited to attend Duke\u2019s birthday, for example, was a small, upstart National Socialist organization called The New Way, according to a message the group\u2019s founder posted on Telegram. That group positions itself as a successor to the Nazi regime.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cAs much as we love Hitler and the NSDAP (Nazi party), we have to admit that they failed,\u201d the group wrote in a Telegram post last month. \u201cWe must learn from their mistakes and make sure that we avenge them.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n The gatherings take place against a national backdrop of growing White supremacist activity. According to the ADL, 233 White supremacist events took place in the United States last year. That figure was down slightly from 2023 but higher than any other year since the group started tracking events in 2017.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cWhen an extremist group purchases property and starts creating a meeting place \u2026 we call those insular communities, and those are particularly worrisome,\u201d Daryl Johnson, who warned of the threat of domestic extremism in a landmark 2009 report, told CNN.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cIt\u2019s a next phase (in) becoming more radical and hardline, because you\u2019re creating a meeting space that\u2019s private, that\u2019s isolated, where people can come (and) do pretty much whatever they want.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n At Patriot Front\u2019s first national conference, held at their Texas site this year, Rousseau told attendees: \u201cWe\u2019re in a fight. Sometimes a trench is exactly where you need to be. You\u2019re going to get mud on your boots. Sometimes, that\u2019s the idea.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Much of Patriot Front\u2019s brand is pitched around community-building, targeted at disaffected boys and young men. \u201cIt\u2019s incredibly important in these community spaces that we build and that we provide help (to) young men who don\u2019t have families,\u201d Rousseau told far-right podcaster Jake Shields in an interview last year.\n <\/p>\n

\n After floods devastated central Texas in July, Patriot Front members were on the ground providing humanitarian relief. But it came with a catch: you had to be White to get it.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cWe prioritize, almost to the exclusion of all others \u2013 practically to the exclusion of others \u2013 our own people,\u201d Rousseau told Shields of that work.\n <\/p>\n

\n The group has its enemies. Rousseau is a notoriously controlling and meticulous leader, obsessed with optics and strict about the physical fitness of his members. \u201cYou can join the organization eating poorly and being out of shape and maybe being lesser read and lesser traveled, but you can\u2019t stay that way,\u201d he said on the PBD podcast.\n <\/p>\n

\n That overbearing nature causes many members to leave the group, often moving towards more extreme, neo-Nazi spaces. A persistent rumor that Patriot Front is infiltrated by federal agents has dogged its brand, and a far-right Telegram group dedicated to mocking Rousseau and his organization has 170 subscribers \u2013 almost as large as estimates of the group\u2019s membership.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cSome activists do not want Patriot Front just controlling everything,\u201d said Jeff Tischauser, a research analyst for the Southern Poverty Law Center who specializes in White nationalist organizations. \u201cOnce the big box store comes to town, that\u2019s all you got to shop with.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n But the Tennessee site has allowed the group to directly tap into a vital pool of White nationalist recruitment: mixed martial arts (MMA) training.\n <\/p>\n

\n MMA groups known as active clubs have close links with White nationalist organizations, and several active clubs have visited Elliott\u2019s compound for fight club events. Elliott has set up an MMA academy at the compound, which trains in a large barn that is used as a gym. Photos and videos posted from inside that building show bloody, bare-knuckled sparring. Most of the people present had their faces blurred in these photographs.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cMany active clubs in the United States are actually front groups for Patriot Front,\u201d Tischauser told CNN. They provide a gentle way into the movement for young men, he said. \u201cYou don\u2019t really get to the white nationalist belief that these groups hold until you\u2019re online in their private spaces.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n In a post about his MMA group this year, Elliott wrote: \u201cEven while the first Academy was being built, we gathered, often by fire and torches, to brawl and saturate the bones of the school with barbarism.\u201d He advertised another MMA event on Telegram in April, promising \u201ctraining, competitions, with some feasting afterwards.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cWe will be situated deep in the Appalachian mountains, removed from modern civilization,\u201d he wrote of the Tellico Plains site, assuring members that \u201cthe land is secure and owned by our guys.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cThese mountains are ancient, and violence is far from foreign to them. Don\u2019t miss out.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Though Elliott manages the site, he doesn\u2019t own it. The land was bought in 2021 by Liudmila Culpepper, according to the property deed. She was one half of a notorious neo-Nazi couple which wielded particular influence in Tennessee\u2019s extremist circles.\n <\/p>\n

\n Her husband, Brian Culpepper, led the state\u2019s chapter of the National Socialist Movement, once the most prominent neo-Nazi group in the US. Both he and his wife have been pictured giving Nazi salutes to their peers. In a 2015 interview he said Dylann Roof, the neo-Nazi who fatally shot nine Black worshippers at a church in Charleston, had \u201cvalid talking points,\u201d and told the interviewer: \u201cI\u2019m a racist, I certainly am.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n And in her book \u201cRepublic of Lies,\u201d journalist Anna Merlan quoted Culpepper telling her: \u201cThe Jew never sleeps \u2026 He works 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to eradicate us.\u2019\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Liudmila\u2019s public involvement in the neo-Nazi movement has been less prominent, but activist groups have surfaced photographs apparently showing her at neo-Nazi events, often alongside her husband.\n <\/p>\n

\n But in recent months, Brian Culpepper\u2019s appearances at neo-Nazi meetings became rarer, and speculation grew in extremist circles that he was unwell. Then, in late October, Culpepper died at his home in Tellico Plains, according to an obituary published by a funeral home near his birthplace in Virginia.\n <\/p>\n

\n His death creates uncertainty about the future of the facility. Shortly before Culpepper died, the barn building that houses Elliott\u2019s gym was listed for sale. The property listing shows that Patriot Front intends to carve out the building from the rest of the compound, maintaining about 117 acres of the 124-acre site.\n <\/p>\n

\n It\u2019s unclear how such a sale would impact the group\u2019s plans for hosting MMA fights and other events. CNN has asked Elliott about his intentions for the property, but received no response. CNN has also asked Patriot Front whether they intend to keep using the property.\n <\/p>\n
