The Nazi in Kerrville, Texas who threatened to shoot up a Walmart last week recruited followers into a martyrdom cult while tapping into a global terror network over the past four months. As the founder of InJekt Division, 28-year-old Coleman Thomas Blevins wrote under the pseudonym Korb HeiligerAtomkrieg on the group’s Telegram channel: “It’s almost over. You will soon be liberated from frivolity. Force yourself to embrace this violent change while you still have time to weaponize your spirits and find God.” In another post, Blevins wrote: “This will be the setting for the most disgustingly dismal bloodbath in human history. Americans, God has entrusted us to take part in what will be the most satisfying collapse in human history. IM READY TO DIE AND I HATE THE ANTICHRIST.” In yet another post, Blevins addressed his followers directly: “Good morning. I don’t have a gun. I’m grooming you for terrorism. This is a suicide cult because I hate most of my friends, but for the ones I like this is a doomsday cult.” In other posts, Blevins introduced members with code names like “True_traditionalist” and “Hekler” while praising them for their readiness for the cause. One, identified as “Faggotaboutit,” is shown in a photo seated with an assault rifle propped on his leg, and is described by Blevins as someone with “extensive autism, I mean knowledge of firearms and ‘pranksters.'” The relationship between the two men transcended edgy internet banter: They appeared together on a podcast in early March. In mid-April, Blevins posted a fantasy about a nuclear holocaust, crediting authorship to a member named “Hummel,” while praising him as “someone who is on his way to sainthood.” The honorific “saint” is widely used by internet Nazis to celebrate white supremacists like Anders Breivik and Dylann Roof who have committed mass murder. Known to his followers as “Korb,” Blevins changed the last name on his pseudonym from “HeiligerAtomKrieg” to “Seppükrieg” and then to a word in Arabic lettering, before finally landing on “Taran.” The name is strikingly similar to that of Brenton Tarrant, the Australian man who live-streamed his massacre of 51 Muslim worshipers at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand in March 2019.
