How I Discovered the Nazi Sympathizer Behind U.S. Rep. Andy Ogles' A+ 'Remigration Score'
When a member of Congress celebrates his "remigration" score, it gets my attention - because "remigration" is a euphemism adopted by neo-Nazis for ethnic cleansing.
For me, it was a “red lights flashing, sirens blaring” moment, signaling that more investigation was desperately needed.
That moment came last week when diehard MAGA Rep. Andy Ogles from Tennessee proudly reposted an announcement from an entity called the “Providence Society,” praising him for earning an A+ on its “Remigration Score.”
What I knew from my immersion into the world of hate was that “remigration” is a term originally adopted by European neo-Nazis as a euphemism for ethnic cleansing. It implies not only deporting undocumented immigrants, it also advocates for shipping out brown people who are legal residents, even citizens.
Who was behind this support for Tennessee’s Trump-loving 5th District congressman?
Here’s what I discovered:
The only name publicly linked to that “society” appears to be a right-wing Trad Catholic guy who argues “White Christian American Nationalism is the only viable ideology for our people,” that the only true Americans are “White Christians who call this land their Home.”
He believes it is “necessary” to develop “something resembling” the 25-point party platform of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis, although it would need to be “re-tooled for modern Western countries.”
He says practicing Jews are “wicked servants of Satan,” and he denies the Holocaust, calling it a “lie” that “dies with the boomers.”
He wants to turn America into a theocracy where even Baptist teachings would be banned. After all, he says, “Jesus is a Catholic.”
He says Canada and the UK need to “liquidate” their immigrants, and he gets his kicks from watching YouTube videos of cops shooting Black Americans.
And, yes, his society believes Andy Ogles is doing a fantastic job of helping to move the country toward the kind of America they desire.
“More representatives must follow @RepOgles’ lead, or America will fall,” the Providence Society post insisted.

I reached out to Ogles’ office for comment but, so far, they have not responded.
Let me walk you through what I discovered:
Andy Ogles: ‘Deport Them All’
Ogles, who has posted an AI-generated video to wrap himself in imagery of the Crusades (see above), has filed legislation to rewrite the nation’s immigration laws in order to, in his words, “make America look like America again.”
That comes amid an on-going controversy over a series of anti-Muslim statements posted by the GOP congressman on social media in recent months.
“Muslims don’t belong in American society,” Ogles wrote.
“DEPORT THEM ALL!” he said in another post.
He has also repeatedly called for the deportation of New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, claiming the Uganda immigrant came to the United States “for one reason: to turn America into an Islamic theocracy.”
(Mamdani moved to the U.S. with his family at the age of 7.)
Still, the Providence Society has come to Ogles’ defense against criticisms that his proposals violate the U.S. Constitution.
“Congressman Ogles, like Providence Society, stands with our nation,” the group responded on X. “Nothing, no document, precedent, or convention, is more important than our nation.”
No document “is more important” than “our nation” — not even the country’s governing document, the U.S. Constitution!
As you will see below, as the Providence Society seems to interpret it, “our nation” is just for White people.
So, who is the Providence Society?
The Providence Society’s X account, which first posted on January 1, offered what I recognized as standard white Christian nationalist imagery: classic Americana scenes of happy White families and idyllic landscapes, along with Naziesque messaging like “America for Americans.”
Its website — which talks of “reviving American nationalism” — warns that “America is facing its greatest challenge since the founding: replacement.”
The only clue about the people behind the Providence Society is a reference on a page for the “Providence Press.” That, in turn, links to a Substack article by Providence Press editor “Anthony Joseph” and his X profile: @Am_Septembrist.
That Substack calls Providence Press “the publication arm of the Providence Society,” and Joseph’s article purports to speak on behalf of the society.
(It is not clear that Anthony Joseph is a real name. The profile image for the Septembrist X account appears AI-generated, bearing a striking resemblance to actor Dennis Kreusler’s appearance in a movie scene I discovered.)
On its X timeline, @Am_Septembrist dishes out up hefty servings of Trad Cath fare, along with his political ideology.
“White Christian American Nationalism,” he argues, “is the only viable ideology for our people.”
And he menacingly warns that, “if fit young White men find no hope, no future prospects, no place in their own society, and no escape from the insanity,” they “will just burn it all down.”
White supremacist / Nazi leanings
Fully revealing his extremist leanings, the Providence Society figure insists the infamous white-supremacist “14 words” — “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for White children” — remains a “perfectly reasonable goal.”
That slogan was coined by a member of the terrorist group known as The Order.
Still, Septembrist says, there is a need to “re-tool” the Nazis’ 25-point party platform for the modern age.
“Hitler was a master tactician in that sense,” he writes. “His strategy was brilliant but we can’t copy every move and expect the same success.”
EXPECT THE SAME SUCCESS?
“It’s the difference between copycatting and admiring. Our opponent has changed their strategy, and the initial conditions are completely different.”
While avoiding the vilest antisemitic slurs that I have seen from neo-Nazis as part of my ongoing “Confronting Hate” investigation, he nonetheless quibbles with suggestions that Jesus was a Jew, insisting that “Jesus is a Catholic.”
“Those who practice the false Jewish religion by definition are wicked servants of Satan,” he says in another post.
He claims “the Jews helping Trump are only helping themselves in the end,” warning that “as long as Jewry is on top, nobody else in the developed world will be spared infiltration and retain their sovereignty.”
And nodding to antisemitic tropes about Jewish influence, he says, “They’ve overplayed their hand far too heavily and for far too long.”
Remember this person represents the thinking that believes that Andy Ogles deserves an A+ for his “remigration” efforts.
‘None of the old tricks work anymore’
Responding to a Holocaust remembrance post by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, Septembrist says, “Trump won, Viktor! We can drop the act now. Nobody has to pretend they believe in the holocaust anymore.”
In a follow-up post, the Providence Society figure answers a critic, “Sympathy for the holocaust narrative lie dies with the boomers.”
Echoing a retort now popular among young, far-right extremists, he adds, “None of the old tricks work anymore!”
Septembrist later responds to that person with a homophobic slur.
“I’ve been living rent free in your little lib head all day because I told the Hungarian president I don’t care about the holocaust,” he continues. “Still don’t! Still don’t care! You’re making me wish it actually happened now. Hahaha”
Again, this is important because it helps to understand the person or people behind Andy Ogles’ A+ “remigration score.”
'Yes I want a theocracy’
In other posts, the Trad Catholic figure expresses his desire for a theocracy in which it would be “illegal to profess B*ptist theology.”
Pushed about his views violating the U.S. Constitution, Septembrist indicates he has no problem with throwing away the country’s governing charter.
“If it doesn’t serve the greater glory of God (or is outright abused to serve evil) then it deserves to be destroyed,” he writes. “You think it’s going to break out of its glass case and stop us?”
Elsewhere, he is more blunt.
Again, this line of thinking is incredibly similar to how the Providence Society account defended Ogles against accusations that his anti-Islam crusade was unconstitutional: “No document … is more important than our nation.”
‘Have fun in Nigeria’
Based on what I have laid out so far, it probably comes as no surprise that the only identified person behind Andy Ogles’ A+ “remigration score” also shows contempt for people of color.
Responding to a post showing U.S. Rep. Ayanna Pressley with her clean-shaven head, Septembrist writes, “Deport black Mister Clean to Liberia.”
The Massachusetts Democrat was born in Cincinnati and raised in Chicago.
Septembrist also suggests that one’s daily habits should include a commitment to “watch YouTube of cops shooting Blacks.”
And in another post, he argues, “We should really consider a policy of repatriating all violent inner city blacks to the Congo.”
In an extended exchange on X, Septembrist mocks a man who married a Nigerian woman. The wife was going through the legal process of obtaining a visa so that the couple could move to the United States with their three children.
The Providence Society figure, however, had no empathy.
“Third-world foreigners who share nothing in common with Americans should categorically be denied access to the American way of life,” he responds.
“No resources, no economic opportunities, nothing. You had twelve years. Have fun in Nigeria.”
Responding to a post by a notorious white nationalist, Septembrist also suggests Canada and the United Kingdom “need to liquidate their Indian/Pakistani/Arab/Bantu populations.”
“Liquidate” was a Nazi euphemism for the murder of the Jews and other minorities.
Septembrist also calls for a “referendum on Indians in America.
“Indians will never be Americans,” he writes in another post. “Subjects to the American Empire, maybe. But not Americans.”
All of this suggests why the Providence Society may have applauded Andy Ogles’ immigration stances with an A+.
‘Time to stop being our grandfather’s Republican Party’
Of course, such controversies are not new for Andy Ogles.
Back in December, he spoke at the New York Young Republican Club’s gala in New York City — even other elected officials skipped the gathering because of the white nationalists and far-right German activists who had been invited.
And the Tennessee Republican served up Christian nationalist red meat for the far-right crowd, insisting that “ it’s time to stop being our grandfathers’ Republican Party.” What is desperately needed, Ogles argued, are efforts to “rekindle fierce nationalism and return to Christ as a way to be self-governed.”
Among the invited guests now accepted into these Republican circles was notorious white nationalist Jared Taylor.
As my investigations have revealed, Taylor hosts an annual gathering at Tennessee’s Montgomery Bell State Park that attracts members of the white nationalist Patriot Front, neo-Nazis and people who have celebrated political violence against those whose immigration policies they oppose.
That event, the American Renaissance Conference, has long been a place where European neo-Nazis have come to push the idea of remigration.
“Remigration is the morally necessary solution,” Taylor has argued.
This is the mindset, the “White Christian American Nationalism,” that believes Andy Ogles deserves an A+.
