Jetzt ist es amtlich: Attila Hildmann ist in der Türkei, sagt die @GStABerlin

Die Generalstaatsanwaltschaft hat Erkenntnisse. Sie weiß jetzt, dass Attila in der Türkei ist. Yay und Hey und La Ola … „Attila Hildmann hält sich nach unseren Erkenntnissen derzeit in der Türkei auf.“ Was viele Leute schon seit Wochen vermuten, was wir schon vor fast drei Wochen bestätigt haben, das ist dann jetzt doch auch amtlich. Und die Generalstaatsanwaltschaft hat Erkenntnisse. Eigene!!11eins11 Nein ernsthaft, schon vor einigen Wochen haben wir Attila Hildmann in der Türkei getrackt. Damals haben wir das direkt veröffentlicht, gleich rausgehauen. Wir haben das nicht vorab an die Behörden geschickt und einige haben uns damals gefragt, ob wir das den Behörden vorab mitgeteilt hätten. Die Behörden müssten doch einen Vorsprung bekommen, sie hätten vorab informiert werden müssen.

U.S. Man Deported From #Ukraine Was Marine Dropout Linked to Neo-Nazi #Terror Group


VICE World News has identified an ex-Marine recruit that Ukraine’s intelligence service allegedly booted in October for what they said were links to neo-Nazi terrorism. In October 2020, Ukrainian intelligence released a video of what it claimed was two American men in baseball caps carrying camouflage-patterned duffle bags as an agent escorted them to the baggage counter at the Kyiv airport. The video was likely choreographed by the authorities: Ukraine’s security services alleged the Americans were members of a violent U.S.-based hate group and among a growing number of men from around the world trying to fight illegally in the still-raging war in the country’s eastern Donbass region against Kremlin-backed separatists. But as quickly as they made headlines in the U.S. and in Ukraine, the men disappeared and neither was ever identified publicly—until now. VICE World News has learned that Ryan Burchfield, 21, is one of the men in the video. Burchfield is a Virginia native, a Marine Corps dropout, and a former member of the Base, one of the most violent American-born terror groups in recent decades, and one under the ongoing specter of an FBI counterterrorism probe. According to information from inside Ukraine obtained and reviewed by VICE World News, Burchfield, who by his own admission traveled to the country for a taste of war and to prepare for a future career as a mercenary, was one of the men deported by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU)—Ukraine’s main intelligence agency—for “illegal activities.” (The deportation was detailed in a public release where Burchfield went unnamed.) The SBU accused the Americans of trying to join military units on the front lines and promoting terrorism in the country. Both, according to the release, were banned entry into Ukraine for three years. The SBU asserted that the Americans operated in the cities of Kyiv, Lviv, and Kharkiv, three major cities in Ukraine, the latter being one of the closest to the fighting in Donbass. At one point Burchfield used a unique photo of a nationalist lion statue in Lviv, a symbol some claim is linked to the Galician division of the Einsatzgruppen (SS) death squads, as his personal display picture on Instagram.

Facebook has been autogenerating pages for white supremacists

Facebook’s efforts to combat extremism remain at odds with engagement goals. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is testifying before Congress today, and he may have a few more uncomfortable questions to answer. Among them, why is Facebook autogenerating pages for white supremacist groups? Researchers at the Tech Transparency Project found that Facebook created dozens of pages for groups like the “Universal Aryan Brotherhood Movement” when a user did something as simple as listing it as their employer. Some of the autogenerated pages garnered thousands of likes by the time they were discovered by researchers. TTP also discovered four Facebook groups that had been created by users. The researchers shared their findings with Facebook, which removed most of the pages. Yet, two of the autogenerated pages and all four Facebook groups remained active when the group published its findings. Facebook reportedly banned “white nationalist” content following the 2019 mass shooting at a New Zealand mosque, expanding on an earlier ban of white supremacist content. 
It wasn’t hard for the researchers to find offending pages and groups. They simply searched Facebook for the names of neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups identified by the Anti-Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center. More than half of the groups in their query of 221 names returned results. A total of 113 white supremacist organizations and groups had a presence on Facebook, sometimes more than one. One user-generated page that has been active for over a decade had 42,000 likes. Ten other pages and one group had more than 1,000 likes each. Much of Facebook’s moderation system relies on artificial intelligence to flag potential violations for human moderators, a system that appears to be easily thwarted. Simple misspellings of words—whether by adding vowels or using $ in place of S, for example—have been enough to foil algorithmic moderation.  Facebook’s own user-interfacing algorithms have also been coming up short. TTP found that on a page for an organization called the “Nazi Low Riders,” Facebook recommended that users also like a page for the “Aryanbrotherhood.”  The company’s tactic for combatting rising extremism on the site also appears to be failing. Searches for known hate groups are supposed to direct users to the page for Life After Hate, a nonprofit group that seeks to deradicalize right-wing extremists. But that only worked in 14 of the 221 searches the researchers performed.

#TheBase tapes – #terror

Secret recordings reveal how a global white supremacist terror group actively targeted young Australian men for recruitment, including a One Nation candidate for federal parliament. On a highway south of Perth, an Australian man known only by his online moniker “Volkskrieger” hops onto a group call while driving towards Bunbury. He connects with three other men spread across Western Australia, California and Russia through an encrypted messaging app called Wire. Warning: This article contains content that may offend some readers. The group is uneasy. One remarks they might be in “deep shit” with law enforcement. One of their US associates has been arrested by the FBI and rumours are swirling he was running his mouth off to federal agents. Volkskrieger’s mentor, Rinaldo Nazzaro, warns them to be on their guard. (…) The recordings, which have never been heard in public before, reveal how the neo-Nazi terror network conducted a methodical search for Australian recruits with access to firearms, security licences, combat training and a commitment to racial purity.

American white supremacist group, The Base, which encourages the collapse of liberal democratic governments, is recruiting neo-Nazis in Australia and has appointed a local leader who planned to launch a propaganda campaign in front of Federal Parliament House. A cache of leaked audio recordings and internal files gives an unprecedented insight into the white supremacist group’s nascent Australian operation. The recordings are of interviews in which local applicants are vetted for membership, and they include at least three men expressing support for the New Zealand mosque massacres.

On Google Podcasts, a Buffet of Hate

The platform’s tolerance of white supremacist, pro-Nazi and conspiracy theory content pushes the boundaries of the medium. He had already been banned from Twitter, but on his podcast he could give full voice to his hateful conspiracy theories. The podcaster argued that the man in Atlanta who had confessed to killing eight people at massage parlors last week, including six women of Asian descent, was the one who had truly been victimized — the casualty of a supposed Jewish plot. “Your heart goes out to the guy,” he said. The remarks, emblematic of a longstanding online network of white supremacists and pro-Nazi groups, weren’t hidden in some dark corner of the internet, but could be found on Google Podcasts, the search giant’s official podcast app that was released for Android in 2018 and expanded to Apple devices last year. As leading social networks like Facebook and Twitter have taken some steps to limit hate speech, misinformation and incitements to violence in recent months, podcasts — historically fueled by a spirit of good-natured anarchy — stand as one of the last remaining platforms for the de-platformed. After Twitter last November suspended the account of Steve Bannon, the onetime adviser to former President Donald J. Trump, for suggesting that several officials be beheaded, he continued to enjoy large audiences with his podcast, available on both Apple and Google’s services.
But even in the world of podcasting, Google Podcasts — whose app has been downloaded more than 19 million times, according to Apptopia — stands alone among major platforms in its tolerance of hate speech and other extremist content. A recent nonexhaustive search turned up more than two dozen podcasts from white supremacists and pro-Nazi groups, offering a buffet of slurs and conspiracy theories. None of the podcasts appeared on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or Stitcher. Google Podcasts is also one of the few remaining homes of Alex Jones, the “Infowars” broadcaster, who was banned in 2018 from Apple, Spotify and Stitcher for repeated violations of their policies on hate speech and harassment. Google, citing its own policies, terminated Mr. Jones’s YouTube account. Last year, it removed the Infowars app from the Google Play store for spreading misinformation about the coronavirus. But Mr. Jones’s programs are still available on Google Podcasts

#Swastika, and other Nazi symbols spray-painted over SHINE mural at Rays Tunnel in St. Pete

“As of now, it’s being investigated as criminal mischief, unless we receive more information.”. A St. Petersburg mural located inside the Ray’s Tunnel between Ferg’s Sports Bar and Tropicana Field was vandalized with swastikas, and the other Nazi symbols last weekend. According to the police report from the St. Petersburg Police Department, investigators believe the incident happened sometime between March 20 and when the graffiti was first discovered on March 21.  Besides a giant swastika and the phrase “Heil Hitler,” photos requested by Creative Loafing Tampa Bay from SPPD show a variety of Nazi symbols spray-painted on the walls, including “NSDAP,” which is the acronym for the German Nazi Party, the Nazi Secret Service symbol “SS,” and the Sturmabteilung emblem, a symbol commonly used by white supremacists and neo-Nazis that originated from Adolf Hitler’s “brownshirts” paramilitary group.  Also tagged on the walls was “Liberal Ass Town Disgusting,” and a crude depiction of a crossed out Hammer and Sickle symbol, which is used by the Communist Party of China, among other groups. The graffiti has since been removed, and investigators say there are no suspects.   Yolanda Fernandez, a spokesperson for SPPD, told CL that while the graffiti is certainly hateful it’s currently being investigated as criminal mischief, and doesn’t yet qualify as a hate crime. “We can’t call it a hate crime because there isn’t a direct victim, even though it’s something we’ll keep on our radar,” said Fernandez. “As of now, it’s being investigated as criminal mischief, unless we receive more information.”

Dietmar Nietan zur AfD: Hier konnte man sehen, wie Nazis arbeiten

Am 6. April 1941 überfiel die deutsche Wehrmacht Griechenland. Als der Bundestag am Donnerstag daran erinnerte, versuchte die AfD, den Überfall mit der Finanzkrise vor zehn Jahren zu verbinden. Da platzte dem SPD-Abgeordneten Dietmar Nietan der Kragen. Wenn an die Verbrechen der Wehrmacht im Zweiten Weltkrieg erinnert wird, geht es meist um Polen oder die ehemalige Sowjetunion. Dass deutsche Soldaten auch in Griechenland grausame Verbrechen an der Zivilbevölkerung verübten und zahlreiche Jüdinnen und Juden deportiert und ermordet wurden, gerät schnell in Vergessenheit. Knapp 80 Jahre nach dem deutschen Überfall am 6. April 1941 hat der Bundestag am Donnerstag der Ereignisse gedacht. Die AfD-Fraktion nutzte das, um die Gräueltaten vor 80 Jahren mit den Ereignissen in der Finanz- und Schuldenkrise zu vergleichen. „Es geht nicht um den Zweiten Weltkrieg, sondern um das Hier und Heute“, behauptete der Abgeordnete Petr Bystron. Deutsche und Griechen hätten sich längst ausgesöhnt. (…) Dem nächsten Redner, Dietmar Nietan von der SPD, platze da der Kragen. „Wir haben sie hier gerade am Pult erlebt, die Herrenmenschen, die in ihrer gnadenlosen rechtsradikalen Ignoranz darüber entscheiden, ob sich das griechische Volk schon mit dem deutschen versöhnt hat“, sagte Nietan. Die Redner der AfD gingen mit ihren Forderungen über Beschlüsse des demokratisch gewählten griechischen Parlaments hinweg und stellten in einem „Zynismus, der menschenverachtend ist“, eine Verbindung her zwischen der Höhe möglicher Reparationszahlungen für den Zweiten Weltkrieg und Geldern aus der Euro-Krise.
