UKIP leader Nick Tenconi accused of ‘Nazi salute’ in video he shared online

UKIP leader Nick Tenconi was criticised for using a gesture with his right arm which some social media users compared to a ‘Nazi salute’. The leader of UKIP has faced online accusations he used a Nazi salute in a clip he posted. In a video he shared on social media, Nick Tenconi was seen outside the Royal Beach Hotel in Southsea, Portsmouth, performing a gesture with his right arm. Tenconi, a 43-year-old personal trainer, curled his right hand into a fist and put it to his chest before raising his right arm in the air. The clip also showed Me Tenconi dancing to a ‘L’Amour Toujours’, a hit by Italian DJ Gigi D’Agostino released in 1999 that more recently has been used by members of the German far right. “Turns my stomach that @NickTenconi feels able to throw a Nazi salute on an English street without consequences,” one person wrote. “UKIP leader Nick Tenconi at an anti migrant protest,” another observed, asking “is that a Nazi salute?”. Mr Tenconi told the Mirror: “For the past 13 months I have been using a unique salute which nobody, nor the left nor the right has ownership of. Its origins is in the Roman victory salute and is amalgamated into the power fist symbol.”

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.

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.
