According to information obtained by Guardian from digital accounts, international neo-Nazi terrorist groups with US origins appear to be restructuring their global and state ranks soon.
Founded in 2018, the base has been a central focus of many years of FBI counterterrorism investigations, resulting in the arrest of dozens of members. It plotted assassinations, mass shootings and other actions in Europe, and became a banned terrorist organization in several countries.
By 2022 it seemed to have disappeared. However, its founder and leader, Rinaldo Nazzarro, a former US Special Forces contractor in Russia, used the security of the Russian app before the November election to recruit and recruit in a tense political moment. We have reorganized it. At one point, he even placed members for paramilitary training somewhere in the northwest of the Pacific Ocean, seeking an offer of $1,200 a month from former American soldiers.
The base reorganization comes when the Trump administration made its policy goal to move away from far-right extremist police, and during Kash Patel’s appointment, he praised the attacker on January 6, and wrote the canon conspiracy theory. The Magazine Acolite sold – Helm the FBI. Experts say federal law enforcement agencies that ignore far-right groups such as bases could expose Americans to an increased threat of domestic terrorism.
So far, Nazzaro’s efforts seem to be rewarding. The Guardian was turned over by an audio message released in mid-February from a supposed new leader with an American accent, discussing the group’s ambitious future.
After criticizing other neo-Nazi organizations such as the Brads to publicly protest during Drag Queen’s time in the Midwest, the voices are not flashy activism, but secret behavior and quietness towards armed cells all over the United States. I explained the preparations.
“Are we going to just be reactionary? Or will we become part of the solution? A military solution,” they said. “Inevitably we fall into some kind of military situation, so what are our options?”
The voice then explains the “black scenario” that will quickly collapse by the US government, seeking “white women” that need to “provide your family.”
“There is no political solution, just a military solution,” they can be heard saying under intense vocal modulation. “Ask accordingly.”
New images of various social media accounts at the base, some have been closed, some open members swinging pistols and military-style rifles, and wearing accelerator neo-Nazi movement trademark skull masks and Europe They claim to be all over the country. – A request for terrorist acts to defeat the World Government.
In one photo, the members hold knives and look like pistols in front of the basic British flag feature members from Bulgaria, Italy, Belgium and Sweden. Last week, on the base’s Vkontakte account, a masked man allegedly in Bulgaria released a video of him firing a pistol three times and firing the group’s signature black flag next to him.
The true arrest shows that multimedia posts are not a case of digital bluffing. In recent months, Dutch and Italian authorities have made multiple arrests of suspected members on terrorist allegations.
“The extreme right-wing terrorist organisation This base has been banned in the UK since July 2021,” he said, and the department overseeing British security agencies said that being a member of the base would be “the largest penalty of 2014.” He adds that there is. Prison.”
Stephen Lye, an analyst at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD), also noticed an increase in base activity online.
“The base has released a slow and stable propaganda trickle over the past few months.
“The timing of this shift is particularly noteworthy. Meanwhile, neo-Nazi accelerator groups like bases are on the back due to intense law enforcement pressure that has disrupt the most essential organizers and propaganda artists. You may be stepping into the newest openings. Changes in US management.”
On Trump’s inauguration day, a kind of provocation for authorities, the base released the largest number of American members in one photo in more than a year, of which two have guns. The base also sought donations to Bitcoin wallets and money for weapons and ammunition. Shortly afterwards, he thanked his supporters for their donations, and then proudly showed them blanks to use to “train with small unit tactics” to “use effectively.”
The FBI declined to comment on whether it would prioritize investigations of bases or other far-right extremists in the future.
Trump and Patel promised “major, major” reforms in the bureau, spurring an internal war between agents and the White House, fighting far-right extremism, which is thought to be low list of priorities. It’s there. However, the base has also acknowledged the threat of law enforcement and announced a new oath to its members of the United States. This included the requirements to have a personal AR-15 rifle and nine 30 rounds of ammunition magazine.
“I am willing to accept the risk of being targeted by law enforcement as a result of my membership at the base, in order to include being placed on the government’s watch list,” reads part of the pledge. “But if a law enforcement asks me a question, I wouldn’t say anything.”
Collinchlak, a terrorist expert and research director at the Soo Fan Centre, believes the far right feels a window of opportunity.
“I think groups like the strategic base far-right extremist groups were waiting for the right opportunity before reinvigorating their respective organizations,” he said, and Patel said, anti-terrorism against leftist organizations. He added that it is expected to direct assets. “This means that far-right extremist groups are likely to recognize Trump’s reelection as a green light to rebuild without fear of arrest or prosecution.”
Lai agreed: “Rich extremists are absolutely cautious about changes in US national security facilities.”
Nazzarro, who contacted him via encrypted text, will not respond if the audio message was the voice of a new leader he hired to represent him in the United States. He said the base does not support Republicans or Democrats, and that Trump’s presidency is unrelated to his movement.
“In the worst case, it gives false hope by perpetuating the false notion that a political solution is possible,” he said.
The doubt surrounds Nazzullo’s connection with the Russian intelligence agency. Living now as a semi-disabled American in St. Petersburg, his work with us during the war against terrorism, while fighting the rebellion in Iraq and Afghanistan, he is the best secret It meant having clearance. But a few years after that job, he finds his own neo-Nazi terrorist group, who views the US government as his enemy.
Nazzaro denied all links with the Kremlin and once told television in the Russian state that he had “never contacted Russian security services.”
Clark is skeptical, and the presence of Nazzarro in Russia means that “Russian intelligence agency will inevitably exert influence on the base, and the organization’s next move, especially in terms of recruitment and propaganda. “There is a possibility that some of them will be adjusted.”
Western intelligence agency has always warned that the Kremlin is trying to destabilise NATO members, including supporting violent, far-right organizations in Europe. Late last year, MI5 head Ken McCallum said Russia was using “arsons, sabotages” and “actions committed with increasing recklessness” in European and British soils.
