This individual has taken painstaking efforts to keep his identity hidden: He uses multiple code names, carefully avoids disclosing personal details, and uses hidden chat networks.

In the deep recesses of a neo-Nazi terror group’s online meeting ground, one of the most active posters is a Canadian. He goes under the pseudonym “Alba Nuadh,” a Gaelic reference to his home province and current residence of Nova Scotia. And he’s clandestine about his work.

This investigation was in collaboration with the Canadian Anti-Hate Network and the Southern Poverty Law Centre.

He speculates someone stole his email credentials and online identity to frame the many gaming and neo-Nazi posts over a ten-year period to discredit him. He said he did not recall any of the details of the extensive online accounts of Alba.

VICE reached Cameron on his personal number to allow him to respond to the numerous pieces of information uncovered about him. Cameron categorically denied any allegations connecting him to the online white supremacist, Alba, who posted prolifically in secret Atomwaffen chat networks and spewed hateful, white-supremacist propaganda across the internet.

Cameron left the military as a reservist in May 2018, but remains on the Supplemental Reserve Force.

Using various traceable online aliases, VICE believes Brandon Cameron, 25, of Nova Scotia, has lived a double life as both a reservist and soldier in the Canadian Armed Forces, and, covertly, as a member of one of the most insidious neo-Nazi groups in the world.

And by all appearances this individual is a proud racist with penchant for championing extreme violence against minorities.

Through information gleaned from the inner workings of the global neo-Nazi movement, an inside source, and a vast cache of chat logs and social media postings, VICE has accrued substantial evidence pointing to the identity of this Canadian member of Atomwaffen Division , a far-right terror group based in the US.

Alba even once taunted an anonymous internet Nazi hunter, who couldn’t identify him, that he’d never be outed.

“I don’t think they’re specifically targeting me, but I have no idea how the fuck I got involved in this,” Cameron told VICE.

“My guess is that it’s probably someone from my unit,” he said later in the interview. “I don’t know what the hell is going on, but I’m very weirded out that these people have the details of my military history.”

Evidence linking Alba to Cameron goes back to 2009, five years before he joined the military. After the initial interview—which Cameron wasn’t expecting—he cut off contact with VICE. After that initial contact, VICE made contact with multiple family members who all provided no comment after several requests.

The information and numerous connections between Cameron and Alba were sent to the Canadian Armed Forces to review so comment could be provided for the story. Government sources tell VICE the military police have eyes on the matter but CAF spokesperson Dan Lebouthillier said they could not confirm nor deny whether or not an investigation into Cameron was opened.

“We do not generally confirm or deny who may be or may not be subject of an investigation or if an investigation is ongoing,” he told VICE. This policy is in place to protect the integrity of investigations and to respect the privacy of individuals involved.”

Atomwaffen came to be in 2015, on the now defunct neo-Nazi forum Iron March. Users of Iron March advocated for a global fascist revolution and it is considered the breeding ground where white power groups organized.
