By 2026 the network was hunting snitches in its own ranks. Cuevas allegedly paid an undercover officer $1,500 for guns with obliterated serial numbers — in part, prosecutors say, to “take out” a former associate. Both pleaded not guilty.

Decoherence Media was able to identify 2 members of the North 'Bama Brigade chat with ties to the transnational neo-Nazi network The Base: a Bulgarian member using the alias “Buron” & another going by “Skin,” from England, who was active in other chats with members from The Base’s Dutch cell.

The individual is wearing a skull mask, a camo jacket, black gloves, and brandishing a pistol. His eyes in the photo have been redacted. The propaganda piece has the words “Bulgaria” written on top.

Out of that network came the North 'Bama Brigade (NBB), founded by Aiden Cuevas to build a pro-white community in northern Alabama. Members Brandon Crews and Logan Gulbranson were arrested in January 2025 over an alleged break-in at a Mississippi nuclear site

Automata folded in 2021 before resurfacing in 2023, now sharing considerable organizational overlap with the rapidly growing Active Club network. Nary even tried to start his own Active Club chapter, and networked with other chapters in the Southeast.

One member of Automata was Kai Nix, an active soldier in 2024 who was indicted for firearms trafficking & lying about his involvement in white supremacist groups. Three years before that, Nix was posting in an Automata chat about assaulting a bystander at a Patriot Front march.

Automata's chats also had an early crossover with the notorious sextortion network 764. At least 3 members sat in a chat alongside 764's founder Bradley Cadenhead, who was sentenced to 80 years in prison for possessing child pornography.

"It just occurred to me almost all of us active are underage," a member wrote in 2021. Andrew Nary wanted more "17 and 18 yr olds." One offered $10 every two weeks out of chore money. Another quit when his mom installed monitoring software on his phone.

Excerpts from the Automata chat revealing that many of their members were minors.

Andrew Nary founded Automata in 2020, a white-power militia w/ accelerationist aesthetics & plans for “Skouria” a whites-only micronation on 24 acres in the North Caroline mountains — a self-billed “Totalitarian Theocracy” whose affiliates owed $10/month plus 2% of their pay to “His Lordship” Nary.
