It’s been 10 years since the Stratfor Hack which landed Anon member, Jeremy Hammond, in prison. These days he runs a gaming company called Twin Trouble, with his twin brother, Jason. Their first game, SmashMAGA was released last year, but it appears a Swedish company, owned by a disgraced far right politician, has copied their idea.

Hello, everybody.
0:02
We have an odd little story with an equally odd little twist to it.
0:06
A company run by a Swedish, White nationalist, neo Nazi has published a retro zombie video
0:12
game, which seems to have been inspired by, if not copied from, a retro zombie video game
0:18
published by an American company, which is run by a former member of Anonymous.
0:23
This is The Iron Troll Show.
0:24
I’m Zile Ohai.
0:25
I’m Bea Yatch and I’m thinking you’d have to be pretty stupid to rip off an idea from
0:31
Anonymous.
0:32
That’s true, but then are there really any smart Nazis?
0:35
Of course, stealing other people’s ideas isn’t exactly something new to the far right.
0:41
Right Melania.
0:42
So the American company, Twin Trouble, created a retro video game called SmashMAGA ,where
0:48
the game player is Antifa fighting against Trump zombies, Twin Trouble published their
0:53
game last year,
0:54
but this year in May, a Swedish company called Nordic Empire Gaming published a very similar
1:00
game called Acquitted where an avatar based on Kyle Rittenhouse fights against zombies
1:06
who are Antifa and trans women.
1:08
Our roving reporter and in-house expert on anonymous.
1:12
Credible Intel has more on this story.
1:14
Yo, yo, yo, this is your man Credible Intel here, reporting on all the latest and greatest
1:19
news on your favorite Nazis and nationalists.
1:22
Get that fake news out of your head and just listen to your man, Cred.
1:26
Conservative journalist, Andy Gno, who is more commonly known as Milkshake Andy, Aaaah
1:32
Aaaaah, has been promoting this video game Acquitted, which was created by a company
1:37
called Nordic Empire Games.
1:39
The word Nordic refers to the Aryan racial group that inspired Adolph Hitler and his
1:44
master race.
1:45
Nordic Empire Games is located in Sweden, because nothing says make America First more
1:50
than a game made in Sweden by a far right.
1:52
Nazi.
1:53
Ladies, back to you.
1:55
Thank you.
1:56
Cred.
1:57
The company Nordic Empire Games is owned by William Hahne and his wife Evelina Hahne.
2:01
Did you say Hahne?
2:03
Yes, Beatrice, Hahne.
2:05
It’s Swedish.
2:06
Hahne is a businessman and a disgraced far right politician.
2:09
He was a member of the Swedish Democrats, which is a far right anti-immigrant nationalist
2:14
political party in Sweden, but he was expelled by the Swedish Democrats for being too blatantly,
2:20
a white nationalist
2:21
and anti-Semitic.
2:22
So in 2018, he co-founded a new political party called Alternative For Sweden, which
2:28
is even further far right.
2:30
When the COVID 19 pandemic began, Hahne started a business selling protective face mask.
2:37
These were standard face masks that sold for less than $3 ordinarily, but Hahne was selling
2:43
them for 25 bucks each.
2:45
He got a lot of bad publicity and flack for his profiteering.
2:49
Even from his fellow far right peers.
2:51
Hahne ended up resigning from politics and then created Nordic Gaming.
2:56
So Credible, tell us more about this American game SmashMAGA.
3:01
According to its website, SmashMAGA Trump Zombie Apocalypse is a politically charged,
3:06
smash and run, retro action adventure game, where you fight right-wing zombies.
3:10
The game was created by an American company called Twin Trouble, and as the name implies
3:14
the game creators at twins, Jason and Jeremy.
3:18
Jeremy Hammond, that name sure sounds familiar.
3:20
Indeed, it should, if you know your internet and anonymous History,.
3:24
It was 10 years ago since Jeremy Hammond was involved with the Stratfor hack and the publishing
3:29
of millions of emails on WikiLeaks that showed Stratfor was spying on activists and protestors.
3:35
Hammond was arrested after another Anon, Hector Monsegur, known online as Sabu, began cooperating
3:41
with the FBI . Hammond received a 10 year sentence and is now free.
3:45
Together with his twin brother, Jason, they published their game SmashMAGA online early
3:49
last year.
3:51
In March.
3:52
Nordic Empire wasn’t even around at that time.
3:54
In November of last year, William Hahne, the new Nazi, posted ads looking for two part
3:59
time programmers.
4:01
Then it took them six months to create the crappy game Acquitted, which was published
4:05
in May, and costs eight bucks to download and play.
4:09
On the other hand, Twin Trouble, SmashMAGA is free and you can find it on the gaming
4:14
platform, Steam.
4:15
Lord have mercy, American anarchist Anonymous versus Swedish neo-Nazis.
4:21
That sounds like the idea for a video game right there.
4:24
So Zile, how’s about you and me go out for a bite to eat.
4:28
Not gonna happen, but thanks so much for your reporting, Credible Intel.
4:31
No problem.
4:33
So Beatrice, hows about you and me go pick me up at eight and no fast food.
4:37
I want sushi or it’s no deal.
4:39
No problem.
4:40
You got it.
4:41
Cred will treat you.
4:42
Right.
4:43
Am I right?
4:44
You know, I’m right.
4:45
What, you think I’m gonna pass up a free meal.
4:46
So, like I said, at the top of the show, you’d have to be pretty stupid to mess with Anonymous.
4:52
Of course, we are not promoting or suggesting that Anonymous will retaliate.
4:56
However we’d like to remind people, especially neo-Nazis in Sweden,
5:00
that Anonymous is Legion.
5:02
Anonymous does not forget.
5:04
Anonymous does not forgive.
5:06
Expect them.
5:07
That’s our show for today.
5:08
Thanks so much for watching everybody.
