In August 2024, NJ Hate Watch, exposed 18 year-old Jonathan Misura of Milltown, NJ as a neo nazi, with membership in groups like NJEHA and the now defunct S14. New photo evidence has now come to light, concretely proving Misura’s identity as a neo nazi.
Misura is pictured in the above photo with other S14, Embrace Struggle Active Club, and NJEHA members Dan D’ambly, convicted sex offender Ben Ryder, the now imprisoned Andrew Takhistov, S14 leader Mark Kauffman, and other unidentified neo nazis, including “Vulgar”. The photo, which was originally uploaded with nazi themed stickers over their faces, was taken in December of 2023, when the group was honoring a dead nazi.
Without the nazi sticker hiding his identity, Misura can unmistakably be seen throwing up a “sieg heil”. His features and stature stand out, matching his profile at the time as a bone headed High School Senior.
Misura was best friends with neo nazi Andrew Takhistov, who is pictured standing next to Misura on the right in the December 2023 photo. The two were very close until they were both entrapped by the state in a plot to blow up a New Brunswick electrical substation in July, 2024.
As the undercover federal agent stated in his report, Takhistov and another person, “Individual 1”, who has been independently verified to be Jonathan Misura, met up with him to discuss plans to blow up an electrical substation in New Brunswick. Takhistov and Misura also planned a trip to Ukraine in July 2024 which the undercover agent detailed, to fight alongside far right Ukrainian Nationalists against the Russian invasion. Right before they were able to execute their trip to Ukraine, Takhistov was arrested and has been in federal detention ever since. Misura was not arrested and escaped prosecution/all potential legal consequences for reasons unknown.
Since August 2024, Misura has attended East Stroudsburg University (ESU), completing his Freshman year and retaining his scholarship and placement on the school’s baseball team.
Misura, who is now a Sophomore, has been leaning into baseball, joining a collegiate baseball team, the Syracuse Salt Cats, as a pitcher in the off season. The Syracuse Salt Cats are sponsored by Major League Baseball (MLB) and several past players have been scouted into MLB. Misura, who has clearly been emboldened by the lack of consequences, is now interested in pursuing a shot with the MLB. Evidence of which can been seen from the website he created to try and get his name out further in the baseball sphere and attract MLB attention.
Reports from those on ESU’s campus have found Misura to be racist and combative to non-white students, in the classroom and on the baseball diamond. Reports from his time with the Salt Cats show that Misura actively harasses Jewish team members. With Misura still a neo nazi and not hiding it, one has to wonder why he has been allowed to abuse his fellow students without consequence.
Misura poses a danger to his fellow University students and the larger community. He must be held responsible for his actions. Concerned community members are encouraged to reach out to his school administration directly, the Syracuse Salt Cats coaching staff, and ESU’s athletics department with the following script. (This article and NJ Hate Watch’s original article can be linked as evidence of Misura’s actions).
“Hello I am reaching out to contact you about an ESU student named Jonathan Misura. He is a Sophmore who is on a baseball scholarship. Misura is a self-professed Neo-Nazi and racist. I have provided the following evidence which displays Misura’s actions and identity as a neo nazi. Misura’s behavior violates both NCAA rules and regulations (applicable to both the Syracuse Salt Cats and ESU) and East Stroudsburg University’s Student Athlete Handbook (its Sportsmanship Policy). His behavior specifically violates current the NCAA Division II Handbook and, the 3.3.1.3 Standards and 3.3.4.5 Standards.
As a student athlete Misura is supposed to embody the values and codes governing the Syracuse Salt Cats and East Stroudsburg University.
