   This article was made possible in part by extremist Discord leaks published   
   by our friends at the William McKinley Institute. The leaks in their   
   entirety are now publicly available and can be accessed here:   
      
      
   ______________________   
      
      
   Broomfield, Colorado – A cybersecurity analyst—who was once featured as a   
   rising talent in articles published by the Associated Press and Colorado   
   Sun—was revealed to be a member of the now-compromised antifa extremist   
   organization, the American Iron Front (AIF). Leaked chats revealed that the   
   young black hat divulged customer secrets to fellow Antifa, and allegedly   
   reported a J6 dissident to the FBI.   
      
   Thanks to information obtained by the online activist groups Patriot Youth,   
   and the Appalachian Archive, the Justice Report was able to independently   
   verify that 23-year-old Nathan Edward Shelley of Broomfield, Colorado—a   
   cybersecurity SOC Analyst working for the cloud management firm Eviden—used   
   his position within the company to divulge customer secrets to fellow   
   members of the AIF. According to his own admissions in the chat, Shelley   
   even planned on contacting the FBI when privileged financial records of one   
   of his customers appeared to align with the infamous January 6th Capitol   
   protest.   
      
   Hiding behind the anonymous username “Akrione,” Shelley would reveal his   
   flagrant disregard for company ethics in a series of self-admissions made   
   to AIF’s “security” chat, a place where Antifa shares online tools to   
   shore   
   up infosec and shrink the digital footprints of its members.   
      
   “I’ve got a job that lets me see the file directories of end-users,”   
   bragged Shelley in a now-leaked post dated May 3rd. “Straight up saw an LEO   
   have a reimbursement report for ‘traveling expenses’ to the Capitol   
   Inssurection today…POS put his fascist bs on the taxpayer. ACAB, smh.”   
      
   Fellow AIF member “AvoidOblivion” soon replied, suggesting that Shelley   
   “Report them to the FBI. All insurrectionists deserve punishment.” he   
   added.   
      
   “That’s what I was thinking. I’ve gotta be sure I don’t leave any   
   trace at   
   work, and to report anonymously,” said Shelley.   
      
   Shelley’s claims of being able to peer into sensitive customer information   
   would prove to be anything but online bluster. Since May of 2023, Shelly   
   has been employed by Atos, a “massive” European IT firm based out of Paris   
   that contracts with customers worldwide. According to an article by the   
   Colorado Sun, Shelley’s job is to monitor public-sector accounts, including   
   those belonging to local government agencies. With the help of various   
   online tools and the power of artificial intelligence programs, analysts   
   like Shelley make sure the data stored inside the cloud are free from the   
   eyes of snoopers, hackers, and other cybercriminals. Ironically, this would   
   include left-wing extremists like Shelley himself.   
      
   “We monitor public-sector clouds,” said Shelley in an interview with the   
   Colorado Sun in June of 2022. “We are responsible for monitoring log   
   traffic and determining if there are false positives or true positives.”   
      
   Atos employees like Shelley reportedly spend hours peering through the   
   online activity of various customers and respond when issues or concerns   
   arise. With near unlimited access to customer data suspended in Atos’s   
   cloud, Shelley’s abuse of propriety technology and the divulging of law   
   enforcement secrets to fellow Antifa and the FBI would be a massive breach   
   of customer privacy and a clear violation of Atos’ stated mission of   
   “governance and digital trust” per their website.   
      
   > Atos strives to be recognized as a trustworthy digital company for   
   > corporate governance, ethics, and data safety. We comply with   
   > best-in-class corporate governance standards and are part of various   
   > initiatives, dedicated to security, ethics and equity within digital   
   services.

   An anonymous tip by Shelley would merely add another name to the laundry   
   list of conservatives and other right-wing individuals currently facing   
   years of prison time and extra-judicial torture inside DC jailhouses.   
   According to reports, more than 1,100 people have been charged so far in   
   connection to the infamous January 6th, 2021 “Stop the Steal” protest,   
   which saw hundreds enter the US Capitol building, many peacefully. Among   
   those charged, over thirty were confirmed to have been off-duty members of   
   law enforcement. While trials for those accused continue to this day,   
   heavy-handed sentences imposed by federal courts, and tyrannical methods of   
   investigation by the FBI have left many stunned, and outraged. Some of the   
   defendants would be found guilty and sentenced despite evidence proving   
   that they never entered the Capitol building themselves.   
      
   As it turns out, Shelley would find himself to be in good company as a   
   member of the American Iron Front. Elsewhere in the now-leaked Discord   
   chats, other AIF members openly discussed their willingness to collaborate   
   with the FBI. Earlier in the year, in a post dated February 27th, two AIF   
   Antifa members openly expressed interest in doxing an unidentified   
   65-year-old USMC veteran and reporting him to the often controversial US   
   intelligence agency “just for shits and giggles.”   
      
   “Just for shits and giggles, you should report him to the FBI to see if   
   anything comes of it,” remarked AIF member AvoidOblivion. “If not, I can do   
   it. I have their website up for reporting tips.”   
      
   “Should I submit the tip anonymously or include my name? They claim that   
   including your personal info can help with the investigation, but if all I   
   am doing is sharing threats, then there is nothing they need to contact me   
   over,” he added.   
      
   It’s unclear if Shelley followed through with his plan of submitting an   
   anonymous tip to the FBI, or whether or not the LEO he was referring to   
   even attended the January 6th capitol protest. Questions arose, however, as   
   to what other privileged information Shelley might have divulged in   
   private, and to whom. Merely expressing the desire to assume a role as an   
   FBI informant in an antifascist space is enough to sound alarm bells, and   
   appears to track with other instances of Antifa and law enforcement   
   collaboration that has occurred in recent memory.   
      
   In April, the heavily armed Antifa paramilitary organization, the John   
   Brown Gun Club (JBGC), became embroiled in a scandal after it was revealed   
   that members of its Washington DC chapter informed on a militant
