R.I. neo-Nazi member, out on bail on child porn charge, is arrested after being recognized on TikTok, Discord

NSC-131 member Stephen Farrea had been ordered to stay off the internet after police found sexually explicit pictures of children on electronic devices in his home. A neo-Nazi member is being held without bail for allegedly violating his bail in a child pornography case. Stephen Farrea, 35, a member of the Nationalist Social Club-131, was arrested in May 2024, after the Portsmouth police searched his home and allegedly found electronic devices with numerous sexually explicit images of children. Farrea was charged with possession of child pornography, but released on $5,000 surety bail. He was ordered not to be around children and not to use computers, smartphones, or the internet. However, someone using TikTok and Discord recently recognized Farrea from live videos and online chat groups and contacted the Portsmouth police. The witness told police that Farrea started appeared on the social media platforms earlier this year, with user names “thebearman07,” “flyingkites101,” and “otherg4079,” according to court records. The witness said that Farrea was involved in various discussion groups, including one with a racial slur, and appeared in videos and live chats, according to court records. The witness said that Farrea told her his real name and that he’d had “legal trouble” in Rhode Island, according to court records. After Googling Farrea’s name and seeing his mugshot from his arrest on child pornography, the witness took screenshots of Farrea and called the Portsmouth police, according to court records. Farrea, who’d moved to Jamestown, R.I., was arrested Tuesday on a warrant of violating his bail. Newport County Superior Court Judge Stephen Nugent ordered Farrea held without bail at the Adult Correctional Institutions pending a violation hearing on Aug. 22.

Evangelische Kirche trennt sich von AfD-Pfarrer aus Diessenhofen TG

Die evangelische Kirchgemeinde im thurgauischen Diessenhofen hat sich vom umstrittenen Pfarrer Gottfried Spieth getrennt. Dieser geriet in die Kritik, weil er nebst seinem Amt als Pfarrer für die AfD im Stadtparlament von Frankfurt an der Oder (D) politisiert und mit extremen Aussagen in sozialen Medien auffiel. Die Trennung sei im gegenseitigen Einvernehmen und in Absprache mit dem evangelischen Kirchenrat vereinbart worden, schrieb die evangelische Landeskirche Thurgau am Freitag in einer Stellungnahme. Ab 15. August sei Spieth «von der Erbringung sämtlicher Arbeitsleistungen» entbunden. Anfang Juli machte die «Thurgauer Zeitung» publik, dass der 64-jährige Pfarrer ein politisches Mandat für die AfD im 850 Kilometer entfernten Frankfurt an der Oder (D) antrat. Die Kirchenverantwortlichen im Thurgau erklärten daraufhin, dass diese beiden Ämter schwierig zu vereinbaren seien. Die Wochenzeitung «Schaffhauser AZ» berichtete später von mittlerweile gelöschten Facebook-Einträgen mit antisemitischen, völkischen und rechtsextremen Inhalten, welche Spieth unter dem Namen seines verstorbenen Bruders veröffentlicht hatte.

DATENKLAU – Ukrainische Hacker erbeuteten Geheimdokumente über das neueste russische Atom-U-Boot

Die erbeuteten Daten umfassen Besatzungslisten, Einsatzdaten und Baupläne. Laut dem ukrainischen Geheimdienst wurden auch die Schwächen des U-Boots offengelegt. Die Ukraine hat nach eigenen Angaben bei einer kürzlich durchgeführten Operation umfangreiche geheime Informationen über Russlands neuestes Atom-U-Boot gestohlen. Die erbeuteten Daten zeigen die Schwachstellen des Schiffes auf. Laut Angaben des ukrainischen Militärgeheimdiensts ist es Hackern gelungen, sich Zugang zu den Systemen der russischen Marine zu verschaffen. Dabei konnten sie interne Dokumente über das neue U-Boot K-555 Knjas Poscharski erbeuten. Dabei handelt es sich um den jüngsten Vertreter der Projekt-955/955A-Klasse. Das U-Boot war erst vor weniger als zwei Wochen im Beisein von Machthaber Wladimir Putin in Dienst gestellt worden. Die ukrainischen Hacker im Auftrag des Geheimdiensts konnten eine Liste der U-Boot-Besatzung erbeuten. Diese gibt nicht nur die Dienstränge und Positionen der Besatzungsmitglieder an, sie enthält auch Informationen über deren körperliche Fitness. Darüber hinaus enthalten die Dokumente detaillierte Kampfanweisungen. Zusätzlich erbeuteten sie Daten zum Aufbau des U-Boots und Diagramme der Lebenserhaltungssysteme, wie Business Insider berichtet.

Ukraine said that it stole troves of classified information on Russia’s newest nuclear missile submarine during a recent operation, including data that points to the vessel’s vulnerabilities. Specialists working for Ukraine’s military intelligence agency, the HUR, breached the Russian Navy and obtained internal documents concerning the new Project 955A Borei-class submarine Knyaz Pozharsky, which entered service less than two weeks ago. The HUR specialists got their hands on a list of the submarine’s crew, including information about positions, fitness levels, and combat instructions, as well as data regarding the boat’s layout, such as diagrams of its survivability systems, the intelligence agency said in a statement over the weekend. The HUR published several documents that appeared to have been obtained from the breach.

GROK IMAGINE – Musks neue Video-KI erzeugt ungefragt Fake-Nacktvideos von Taylor Swift

Ein zweifelhaftes Feature macht es einfach, Deepfakes von Prominenten zu erstellen. Das könnte xAI auch rechtliche Schwierigkeiten einbringen 6. August 2025, 18:06 147 Postings Später lesen Während die meisten Hersteller aktueller KI-Systeme Wert darauf legen, diese mit allerlei Sicherheitsmechanismen zu versehen, will die von Elon Musk geleitete Firma xAI so etwas wie die Antithese liefern: Eine vermeintlich “neutrale” KI, die ihr Trainingsmaterial möglichst ungefiltert weitergibt, soll Grok sein. Wie gut das klappt, hat xAI erst vor kurzem – wenn auch unbeabsichtigt – eindrücklich demonstriert, als Grok damit begann, sich selbst als “MechaHitler” zu bezeichnen und antisemitische Verschwörungsbehauptungen zu verbreiten. Nun folgt die nächste komplett absehbare Kontroverse. Lässt sich eine neue Video-KI von xAI doch zur Erstellung von Nackt-Deepfake-Videos nutzen – und zwar auch von Prominenten. Das neue, “Grok Imagine” genannte Feature erstellt anhand von beliebigen Texteingaben zunächst Bilder, die dann wiederum in kurze Videoclips verwandelt werden können. Dafür gibt es vier Optionen: “Manuell”, “Normal”, “Spaß” und “Scharf”. Wer unbedarft letztere Option auswählt, erlebt eine Überraschung der besonderen Art – resultiert das doch in vielen Fällen in Deepfake-Nacktvideos, wie The Verge berichtet. Ausgetestet wurde dieses Feature mit dem simplen Prompt “Taylor Swift celebrating Coachella with the boys”. Bereits das erste Fake-Video hat dann eine Szene produziert, bei der sich die Sängerin inmitten der Massen das Oberteil vom Körper reißt. Weitere Versuche resultieren zwar nicht immer, aber immer wieder in ähnlichen Szenen. Generell scheint das Thema “Frau reißt sich Kleidung vom Körper” ein großer Fokus der Grok-Entwickler zu sein, da dieses Szenario oft gewählt wurde – unabhängig vom eigentlichen Prompt.

Man jailed for possessing #terrorist manuals

A 21-year-old man living Bradford has been jailed for two years after admitting possession of terrorist documents, including instructions for making firearms, explosives and poisons. Ondrej Sidelka, of Elwyn Road, pleaded guilty to eight counts of possessing information likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism, under Section 58 of the Terrorism Act 2000. He was sentenced on 1 August 2025 at Leeds Crown Court. A further charge under the Terrorism Act 2006 was discontinued. According to Counter Terrorism Policing North East, the offences came to light after Sidelka was arrested in November 2022 for an unrelated incident. A search of his phone uncovered extensive racist, antisemitic and neo-Nazi material in his Google Drive and Dropbox accounts, along with manuals on how to manufacture weapons and conduct attacks. Sidelka’s material included propaganda from proscribed extreme right-wing terrorist groups such as Atomwaffen Division, Feuerkrieg Division and Terrorgram. He also possessed a graphic video of the 2019 Christchurch mosque shooting in New Zealand. Detective Chief Superintendent James Dunkerley, Head of Counter Terrorism Policing North East, said: “The shocking and disturbing racist material Sidelka downloaded, as well as his interest in extreme violence and manufacturing homemade firearms, show the threat he posed to the community.”

Trial against neo-Nazi – Investigator describes defendant as ‘the superlative of an extremist’ – #terror #GreenBrigade #TheBase

The trial of a neo-Nazi at the Luxembourg City Court has exposed the transnational nature of modern extremism, with links to eco-fascist groups, white supremacist “Saints”, and a terror organisation mimicking Al-Qaeda’s structure. The Luxembourg City Court entered its second day of proceedings on Thursday in the trial of a neo-Nazi, whom a criminal police investigator termed “the superlative of an extremist”. The 23-year-old defendant faces multiple charges, including membership in a terrorist organisation and alleged attack planning. Evidence presented suggests he discussed potential targets for parcel bombs, including an animal testing clinic and a Swedish airline known for diversity-themed advertising. The accused joined the eco-fascist “Green Brigade” in August 2019, rapidly ascending its ranks – a climb investigators associate with his involvement in a 2019 Swedish mink farm arson, for which he has already been convicted in Sweden. Court documents indicate he actively promoted the group through propaganda distribution, including leaflets and stickers, while allegedly recruiting new members. “Pre-crime phase”: Neo-Nazi defendant allegedly prepared attacks The criminal police investigator testified that the defendant had reached “the peak of his radicalisation” when arrested in early 2020, describing him as being in a “pre-crime phase”. According to the officer, “he had a parcel bomb at work, had made and tested explosives, and ordered an assault rifle”. The court heard evidence confirming the defendant’s membership in the white supremacist group The Base, including an October 2019 interview with its founder, Rinaldo Nazzaro. When asked by Nazzaro why he sought membership, the defendant replied, “I want to act, to change things”. He cited Mein Kampf, 1984, and Brave New World as influential texts in his path to National Socialism.

Pasco Sheriff Issues Grave Warning To Parents After Port Richey Teen’s Arrest – #764 #terror

Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco Urges Parents to Monitor Children’s Online Activity, Citing Global ‘Satanic and Neo-Nazi’ Online Cults. Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco today delivered a chilling update on the arrest of a 13-year-old Port Richey boy charged with possessing child pornography and bestiality. The sheriff revealed that the arrest is connected to a global online cult that encourages self-harm, suicide, and idolizes school shooters and mass murderers. During a press conference at the Pasco Sheriff’s Office on Monday, Sheriff Nocco detailed the disturbing nature of the online group. The investigation began a month ago with a tip from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) about a Discord group where a young girl was being encouraged to cut herself in a “live cut show.” The IP address was traced to the 13-year-old boy in Port Richey. A subsequent investigation uncovered four felony counts of child pornography, including videos of an infant, and one felony count of bestiality. In addition to these charges, the boy was found to be in possession of documentation with instructions for mass murder, building bombs, and concealing evidence. The teen also confessed to encouraging two other minors to harm themselves. Sheriff Nocco described the group as a “satanic and Neo-Nazi” cult that places “no value on human life.” He explained that members gain status and notoriety within the group by coercing others to self-harm or commit suicide and then videotaping the acts to share online. The sheriff also highlighted the pervasive and dangerous crime of sextortion, which is a major component of these online groups. Perpetrators gain explicit videos of victims, often by coercing them through online games like Roblox and Minecraft, and then use the videos to extort and force victims into further harmful acts.
