History
In his profile online, Phantom Patriot states that he became an RLSH after serving 3 years in the USMC (1982-85), using the persona of The Lynx and working alongside another RLSH, Iron Claw. He then switched to using the name Crackdown in the 90s. Then, he took on the name of Phantom Patriot.
Phantom Patriot attracted media attention in January 2001, when he conducted a raid on the Bohemian Grove, in the belief that they were a group of pedophiles and murderers. He was arrested and served over 6 years in prison.
After finishing parole in May of 2011, he traveled across the country, protesting the New World Order in the persona of Thoughtcrime.
In 2012, he re-adopted the Phantom Patriot alter ego and opened an RLSH base, called The Patriot Outpost.
On October 15th, 2018, he was found dead of suspected suicide.[1][2]
