War Room 'Brothers' of Andrew Tate
Within Tate's sphere, a portion of these 'comrades' emerges from the ranks of the seasoned members comprising his self-proclaimed War Room.
As he conveyed via Telegram in January 2023, “The War Room Network has my life completely in order while I’m unjustly detained. I have brothers on the outside who have taken on my responsibilities."
While substantiated evidence regarding the involvement of these individuals in illicit endeavors remains absent, and none of them bear any connection to the ongoing charges against the Tate Brothers in Romania.
They either endorse his ideology, safeguard his reputation, or ostensibly engage in certain undertakings that constitute his brand. Several of them have pursued these endeavors while maintaining an undisclosed identity.
According to Bellingcat, here are a few War Room leaders:
1. Joule Sullivan
One of the prominent figures representing the War Room is 'Sartorial Shooter', based in Dubai and hailing from Australia.
In a YouTube interview from July 2023, he introduces himself as a former Australian armed forces soldier with a background in intelligence, sharing his experiences across the Middle East and Africa.
Sartorial Shooter attributes his connection to the Tates, particularly Andrew, to an unspecified task in Romania, which led to an invitation to one of his facilities in Ukraine, where he offers various weapons and tactics training grounds around the globe.
Sartorial Shooter's public statements seem to align with the Tates' perspective.
In a Vice News documentary from August 2022, during a War Room event in Romania, he appears to condone the use of phrases like "my women" by Tate, suggesting that men at certain levels can provide for multiple women concurrently.
Nevertheless, he stresses that the War Room isn't about promoting misogyny, asserting that individuals exhibiting racist or sexist behavior would be swiftly expelled.
During a podcast appearance in June 2023, he praised the Tates as cultural icons leading the fight against tokenism, modern degeneracy, and the societal perversions observed in Western society. Sullivan, when questioned by Bellingcat, confirmed his identity as a leader within the War Room.
He mentors members, organizes events and seminars, and portrays the War Room as a positive and supportive community for men, emphasizing its broad focus on areas such as fitness, business, and nutrition.
2. Miles Sonkin
In contrast to Sullivan's openness, another senior member featured in the Vice documentary declined to appear on camera. This individual, a grey-bearded self-professed hypnotist, adopted the moniker 'Iggy Semmelweis,' borrowing the name of a 19th-century Hungarian physician.
Within the documentary, Semmelweis assumes the role of "Andrew's right-hand man" and is positioned as the second-in-command within the War Room hierarchy, following closely behind Tate himself.
Semmelweis consistently advocates for the War Room on Twitter, presenting himself as a key daily leader, and shares content that lauds the Tates.
In a tweet from June 2023, Semmelweis asserted that the War Room is currently at its zenith, with its membership expanding daily by drawing in outstanding and talented men from across the globe.
As a browse through his Twitter feed reveals, Semmelweis is well-versed in the Tates' ideology, with evidence dating back. In 2019, he endorsed one of Tate's 'webcam courses,' espousing the belief that women are assets to be enhanced by men.
In early 2023, unverified and anonymous claims emerged on Twitter, asserting that Semmelweis was in reality an American named Miles Gary Sonkin.
3. Jonathan Bowe
In July of 2022, Semmelweis took to Twitter to acknowledge the significant contribution of an anonymous user using the handle @1stPriestWudan. This man had been instrumental as Semmelweis's "Right Hand" since the inception of The War Room, enabling many of Semmelweis's achievements.
Notably, Semmelweis expressed optimism about the transformative impact of the new systems implemented by @1stPriestWudan, envisioning that The War Room would effortlessly cater to a sizeable membership of 10,000 men.
As of July 2023, the @1stPriestWudan account has amassed just over 1,000 followers and posted a modest number of tweets, largely consisting of retweets related to Andrew Tate and content aligned with Tate's views.
The account doesn't shy away from sharing misogynistic perspectives. In an interaction with Semmelweis in June 2021,
@1stPriestWudan pondered the presence of menopausal women in the workforce. During the same year, the account proposed a swift solution for revitalizing the US military: the elimination of women.
The account operator asserted having military experience, identifying as a pilot, and specifically highlighting their role as an "Antarctic Ice Certified Instructor" in another tweet from 2021.
According to Bellincat, in a Reddit post in 2022 discussing Tate's collection of cars, a user provided a link to a fundraising page for an electric motorbike manufacturer. This post suggested that both Tate and an insider from The War Room were listed as team members.
While the current page doesn't mention either individual, an archived version from December 2022 does indicate Tate and a person named Jonathan Bowe as team members.
