Lafayette, Louisiana - A militant anti-White Twitter troll who regularly advocates for the murder of Christians, right-wingers, and police officers has been unmasked as a nazi-obsessed Jewish pedophile who was once caught with a "massive stash" of toddler rape videos.
Thanks to an anonymous tip submitted to the Justice Report, counter-extremist researchers can confidently name 44-year-old Benjamin Cole Rosenthal, of Lafayette, Louisiana, as the Tier 2 sex offender behind "SpaghettiJesus," an anarchist X, formerly Twitter, account that regularly calls for "fascists," Christians, and so-called "Nazis" to be summarily executed for their political beliefs.
Additionally, the Justice Report has learned Rosenthal is the stepson of infamous National Public Radio (NPR) commentator Andrei Codrescu, who has aired with the station for over 40 years.
Under the "Spaghetti Jesus" moniker, Rosenthal—who is Jewish—has penned countless anti-White screeds, with many going as far back as 2012.
"Everyone(ev-ver-ree-one) hates entitled white people so much. (the streamers are the first against my wall)," he said in December of 2024. "Anyone who thinks racism against White people is real is just scared they're too racist not to get pushed up against the wall," he threatened in another.
Rosenthal's murderous hatred of perceived racists also extends to American law enforcement. On X/Twitter, he urged his nearly 2,000 followers to kill police officers, which he likened to "zombies" and "human garbage."
"You know how all cops are human garbage not worthy of a kind death? Well you should," he said in an X/Twitter post in September. "Zombies and cops both have the same weakness...Murder all cops in front of their families. Do it now," he wrote in another.
Rosenthal also used the social media platform to applaud violent attacks against conservative and nationalist groups and figures in Europe—such as France's Marine Le Pen, the UK’s Reform Party, and Germany’s Alternative für Deutschland—labeling them as “actual Nazis.” Rosenthal would justify his rhetoric by claiming to be White himself and stating that his "fellow White people" have been "too comfortable for too long."
"Is it cool if a white dude leads the pogrom on the white people? Or does it read badly?" asked Rosenthal in a post dated December 24th. "Does it help if he’s half a Jew? Better or worse? This is all for a story I’m writing."
"I really hate white people. For being the most superior race we sure haven’t done much good. #humblebrag?" He said in another, while curiously never disclosing his true ethnicity to readers.
As "SpaghettiJesus," the Jewish anarchists' hyper-focus on so-called "Nazis" has contributed to hundreds of posts on X/Twitter, and includes everything from debased power fantasies to overt calls to violence.
"When I was a kid we'd kick the shit out of the Nazi punks until they stopped existing...It's remarkable what you can do when you all come together to beat the shit out of Nazis," he claimed.
Rosenthal's anti-White bigotry grew so prolific that it even drew the attention of the "Antifa" doxer Kate Ross. The two would follow each other on X/Twitter, with Rosenthal serving as a recurring "reply guy" who would—ironically—assist her with casting baseless accusations of pedophilia onto others during internet arguments.
In one post dated November 19, 2024, Rosenthal implied that Christian Oklahoma State Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters would likely be sent to prison for “something heinous,” a remark that can only be construed as some sort of sex crime. However, there are no records to show that Walters has ever been accused of a sex crime and that Rosenthal levied his attack merely for Walter's pro-Christian stance on school governance.
The irony of Rosenthal's accusation became obvious after counter-extremist researchers confirmed Rosenthal, aka "SpaghettiJesus," was a convicted sex offender who once served 80 months in federal prison for his documented role in possessing nearly 6,000 movies and images containing CSAM to the internet, and uploading some to anonymous chat sites.
The Justice Report learned of Rosenthal's heinous past thanks to publically available information, public statements on social media, and federal press releases. In 2015, the six-foot, 155lb anarchist was one of five men arrested by a joint task force of Cyber Crime investigators who acted on a credible tip sent to the Louisiana Attorney General's office.
Among the evidence plucked from Rosenthal's home were two firearms, marijuana, and other illicit drugs. During questioning, Rosenthal argued with officers that he "did not agree with the age of consent being 17." When asked how the CSAM videos and images got on his computer, he claimed he "didn't know."
Ultimately, Rosenthal was placed in the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on Sept. 24th, 2015, and was issued 200 counts of "distribution of pornography involving juveniles."
In a motion for pretrial release, Rosenthal requested to be sent back to home confinement because jail staff had not provided him with enough imodium for his "severe Crohn’s disease." The court ultimately denied the request, citing failures by Rosenthal to charge his GPS monitoring bracelet and making unauthorized trips to McDonald's during a period when he was on house arrest.
On March 1st, 2017, court documents obtained by the Justice Report stated Rosenthal would be issued a plea deal and ultimately plead guilty to two counts of possession of child pornography. The devout antifascist would be sentenced to 80 months or roughly six and a half years in prison. Additionally, he would have to register as a sex offender for life and was forced to pay over $30,000 to his young victims, which included girls and boys under the age of 12.
"Protecting children from this type of victimization is a top priority of this office. The use of children as subjects of pornographic materials is harmful to the physiological, emotional, and mental health of the child, and we will remain vigilant in investigating and prosecuting those who would produce, distribute, or possess these disturbing materials," said Acting United States Attorney Corey R. Amundson in an official press release.
All Things Considered
Confirming Rosenthal as the person behind the Spaghetti Jesus account proved relatively easy. In the past, SpaghettiJesus had referenced his real name as “Ben Rosenthal” numerous times. He also disclosed other personal details about himself, such as his date of birth and current residence in Lafayette, Louisiana—both of which match his most recent listing on the National sex offender registry.
Rosenthal would also go on to use the same "SpaghettiJesus" moniker across numerous online platforms, including Venmo, Facebook, and Kik, a social media app said to be a haven for internet pedophiles, according to the New York Times.
One post, however, would be key in confirming his familial connections. In a post made to X/Twitter in May of 2011, SpaghettiJesus would directly quote and name Andrei Codrescu, an influential Jewish-Romanian author and veteran National Public Radio (NPR) contributor, as his stepfather.
According to public records, Codrescu is married to Laura Cole Rosenthal, Benjamin Rosenthal’s biological mother and former editor of Codrescu’s now-defunct online publication, Exquisite Corpse. Codrescu is a prominent leftist who was thoroughly immersed in the New York City literary scene.
He was also said to be well acquainted with the Jewish beat poet and pedophile Allen Ginsberg, famous for his membership in the North American Man Boy Love Association (NAMBLA).
Despite this, Codrescu is perhaps best remembered for the controversy he sparked in 1995 while commenting on an NPR broadcast. During a show, he claimed that the deaths of millions of Christians for allegedly believing in the spiritual concept of the “Rapture” would be a good thing, stating: “The evaporation of 4 million who believe this crap would leave the world an instantly better place.”
Codrescu's inflammatory remarks prompted over 40,000 complaints from outraged NPR listeners, ultimately compelling the network to issue a formal apology to its audience. However, according to The Current, Codrescu—who is Jewish—refused to apologize personally. To this day, the incident stands as one of the most significant controversies in the station's history.
The home Benjamin Rosenthal is currently living in—as listed on the sex offender registry—is owned by Codrescu. In addition to his mother and father, Rosenthal's late grandmother was also a locally prominent leftist and was said to have been a "longtime supporter" of the terror-linked Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), according to an obituary.
Rosenthal is currently unemployed and living in his wealthy stepfather's home in Lafayette, playing video games, watching movies, smoking weed, and taking Xanax, activities he often talks about on his SpaghettiJesus account. It should be noted that many of these activities could be construed as violations of his lifelong supervised release by federal authorities, who must pre-approve any social media use Rosenthal engages in, according to court documents.
Rosenthal is just one of many anarchists exposed in recent years as having expressed sexual deviancy, predatory behavior, and pedophilic tendencies.
In July, The Justice Report learned that the 20-year-old anarchist Matthew “Cyprus” Hartford had been removed from his trans liberation group after leaked messages stated he was facing credible allegations of serial sexual assault from less than five of his unwitting comrades. Cyprus became famous in antifascist circles for opposing a federal subpoena related to the Stop Cop City movement in Atlanta, Georgia, but was surprisingly let off by the feds.
In February of 2024, counter-extremists unmasked a member of the anti-White extremist movement, commonly referred to as "Antifa," as 31-year-old David J. Kneusel of Thornton, Colorado, aka "Socialist Stan." Kneusel, an unhinged militant for the leftist terror organization the John Brown Gun Club, would be exposed as the author of dozens of homoerotic fanfiction stories involving underage characters in the animated series South Park.
In December of 2023, a heavily armed antifascist who bankrolled armor and weapons for antifa rioters during the 2020 summer of racial reckoning was identified as 33-year-old Alex Blum of Austin, Texas. Blum—the Jewish CEO of a plastics company who attributed the Talmud to his success in online interviews—used the pseudonym “Aaron” to star in a number of homosexual porn videos during his time at the University of Austin, Texas.
Update: "SpaghettiJesus" has since set their account to private, confirming the Justice Report's findings linking the account to Benjamin Cole Rosenthal.
