“Chile did not end its military dictatorship to accept these challenges to its democracy.”. Antisemitism watchdog Simon Wiesenthal Center has called on the Chilean authorities to take action following a public demonstration by armed neo-Nazi groups in Santiago. The demonstration, held Saturday to protest a new constitution, saw numerous armed neo-Nazi protesters present, with at least one notable protester wearing a shirt that said “F**k You Israel” over a Jewish star with a cancel sign, according to local news outlet Lanacion. “To see uniformed Nazis marching in Santiago – in ideological lockstep with antisemitic leftist pro-Palestinians – is a step to the abyss,” Simon Wiesenthal Center international relations director Dr. Shmuel Samuels said in a statement. “Chile did not end its military dictatorship to accept these challenges to its democracy.” “How long will we have to wait for the protection of Jewish citizens in Chile?” Simon Wiesenthal Center Latin America director Dr. Ariel Gelblung added. “Hate knows no boundaries. It is neither from the Right nor from the Left. Hate is devious. It calls for legislative action. If not immediate, it will be too late to regret.”
One of the first conspiracy theories she engaged with was that “Jewish people had control over the media and society as a whole.”. A former Blood & Honour white supremacist Neo-Nazi female has called for greater solidarity with Jewish and Muslim women in the UK, as hate crimes hit a record high, as well as white supremacist activity and conspiracy theories. Lauren Manning, 30, was for over five years a member of the Canadian division of Blood & Honour, a notorious Neo-Nazi and white supremacist group founded in 1987 in the UK. While beginning her first UK engagement with Nisa-Nashim, the UK’s Jewish-Muslim women’s network, Manning said that “the best thing [Jewish and Muslim women] can do during these times is to try and stand together as much as possible, and help each other where possible.” (…) During the event, Manning told her story and described how she grew up in a middle-class Canadian neighborhood, but turned to a life of drugs, alcohol, crime and ultimately white supremacy at the age of 17 after suffering abuse, losing her father at a young age and leaving home. She explained that “instead of choosing self-acceptance, I chose self-hatred, and woke up each morning wanting to be someone else.” Manning continued, explaining how the extremist group Blood and Honour had a problem with “everybody” and that one of the first conspiracy theories she engaged with was that “Jewish people had control over the media and society as a whole” – and that because she had never met a Jewish person before, “it became a fear of the unknown itself.” Manning said that she chose to leave the group after five years after a fellow member was murdered. An earlier initial attempt to escape failed when she was beaten and hospitalized. “The groups see women as subservient, meaning we were to bear the children and take care of domestic stuff. There was endless pressure on me to have children to continue the white race.”
Recordings of over 100 people, including the hate group’s leader Rinaldo Nazzaro, reveal their recruiting tactics and plots The latest episode of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC)’s podcast Sounds Like Hate published today with exclusive and never-before-heard recordings from a neo-Nazi white supremacist group, The Base. Titled Baseless, this three-part story takes listeners through 83 hours of secret recordings as 100 men apply for membership into The Base, revealing the group’s recruiting tactics, violent plots and efforts to avoid law enforcement. “We want things to accelerate, we want things to get worse in the United States,” said Rinaldo Nazzaro, the leader of The Base in the recordings. “And from that point by virtue of the chaos that ensues, that would naturally present some opportunities for us … law and order starts breaking down, power vacuums start emerging…for those who are organized and ready, to take advantage of those.” The analysis of these recordings used machine learning to find patterns in what was said. According to podcast producer and co-host Geraldine Moriba, “there’s nothing coded here. These are expressions of malcontentment with a real goal to destroy our nation. Little did I know when I agreed to investigate these stories the president would tell white supremacists to ‘stand back and stand by,’ and they would be emboldened to the point of openly pursuing their accelerationist plans.” Listen to the latest episode, Baseless, of the Sounds Like Hate podcast. SPLC Senior Analyst Cassie Miller, who has also listened to some of the recordings herself and is featured in the series, adds: “That kind of violence … is very much the core strategy that defines the group. It’s something that they really don’t talk about very often on their calls because they’re worried about being implicated with incitement. The really remarkable thing about that moment in the call is that they actually go on to explain this strategy to this potential recruit.”

A violent, neo-Nazi group called The Base is recruiting current and former U.S. soldiers — and is planning a military response to what it believes will be the collapse of society, according to a new report. “Our mission’s very, very simple. It is training and networking, preparing for collapse,” the white supremacist group’s leader, Rinaldo Nazzaro, was taped telling prospective recruits in an audio recording obtained by the Southern Poverty Law Center. “We want to be in a position where we’re ready, we’re prepared enough, ready enough that we can take advantage of whatever chaos, power vacuum, that might emerge,” he tells the prospects, NBC News reports of the SPLC’s chilling tapes. “We want to try and fill that power vacuum and take advantage of the chaos.” The SPLC, which monitors hate groups, has amassed 80 hours of tapes involving the white supremacist group and its leader, Nazzaro, NBC says. On the tapes, the U.S.-born Nazzaro says he runs the group from an apartment in St. Petersburg, Russia, where he lives with his Russia-born wife — raising the potential of foreign influence, NBC says. On the tapes — recorded starting in November 2018 — 20 percent of more than 100 prospective recruits to The Base said they were active-duty military or had served in the military in some capacity; Secret recordings of neo-Nazi terror network The Base ‘show the group actively recruiting US military members as they prepare for the “impending collapse” of US society and the coming race war‘. The Base is collective of hardcore neo-Nazis operating as a paramilitary group They want people with military expertise for ‘the collapse of society’ More than 80 hours of audio forms part of a new podcast on the group It shows that 20% of those approached were active-duty military or veterans 80% of the tapes are said to include chats on guns and the collapse of the US Included in the tapes is also said to be alleged leader Rinaldo Nazzaro. (…) Senior intelligence analyst Mollie Saltskog said: ‘Extremely lethal and dangerous operations that believe in an impending race war like The Base or Atomwaffen make a concerted effort to recruit people with military experience. ‘Having these types of people in these types of organizations increases their operational capabilities to commit acts of terrorism.’ Included in the tapes is said to be alleged leader Rinaldo Nazzaro. He says: ‘We want things to accelerate, we want things to get worse in the United States’ Included in the tapes is said to be alleged leader Rinaldo Nazzaro. He says: ‘We want things to accelerate, we want things to get worse in the United States’ Organizers of The Base recruit fellow white supremacists online — particularly seeking out veterans because of their military training — using encrypted chat rooms and training members in military-style camps in the woods, according to experts who track extremist groups. The group, which has the motto ‘learn, train, fight,’ brings together white supremacists with varying ideologies. In January The Guardian identified Nazzaro, 46, as the real name of the ringleader who launched the group in 2018, and who also goes by the aliases Norman Spear and Roman Wolf. The outlet reported that Nazzaro previously lived in Midtown Manhattan and New Jersey, but is currently believed to be in Russia, living with his Russian wife that he married in 2012 in New York City. The man identified as Nazzaro says in the tapes: ‘We are survivalism, a self-defense network. Our mission’s very, very simple. It is training and networking, preparing for collapse. ‘We want to be in a position where we’re ready, we’re prepared enough, ready enough that we can take advantage of whatever chaos, power vacuum, that might emerge. ‘We want to try and fill that power vacuum and take advantage of the chaos.’ He adds: ‘What people decide to do outside The Base with that training and contacts they make is their business. We don’t really need to know about it. I mean, sure, it’s kind of better that we don’t for everyone’s sake and for everyone’s success.’ In encrypted chat rooms, members of The Base have discussed committing acts of violence against blacks and Jews, ways to make improvised explosive devices and their desire to create a white ‘ethno-state,’ the FBI has said in court papers.

A Rolling Hills man who was accused of being a member of White supremacist groups and lying about it on a job application agreed to plead guilty to a felony charge on Wednesday, Oct. 14, the U.S. Department of Justice said. Decker Hayes Ramsay, 23, was charged with making the false statements in April 2018 to try to obtain national security clearance and employment at a major national defense contractor, the Department of Justice said in a statement. Ramsay, who federal officials said has connections to two hate groups, allegedly failed to disclose his past membership on an Electronic Questionnaire for Investigations Processing. He faces up to five years in prison if convicted.
The vandalism of a Jewish cemetery in Denmark last year was allegedly ordered by a Swedish neo-Nazi leader, according to text messages revealed at the trial of the alleged perpetrators. The trial of Soren Lau Kjeldal and Jacob Vullum Andersen, which opened Friday in the city of Randers 120 miles northwest of Copenhagen, implicates a Swedish man, Simon Lindberg, whom prosecutors say was a leader in the Nordic Resistance Movement. According to information presented in court, Lindberg called for a major action against Jews last year on Nov. 9, the anniversary of the 1938 rampage against Jews in Germany known as Kristallnacht. “Important information. A directive has been issued by Simon Lindberg, all Nordic countries are joining forces for a pan-Nordic action on Kristallnacht,” read one text message that Andersen forwarded to other activists, the Redox news site reported. “We are looking for Jews or businesses owned by real Jews. Not half-Jews or Zionists. Your task for the next month is to find out if there are any Jewish targets in your area. This is top secret information.” Andersen and Kjeldal have pleaded not guilty.
Im Rahmen eines groß angelegten Einsatzes haben am heutigen Morgen rund 400 Polizeibeamte des Polizeipräsidiums Ulm in Kooperation mit den Landeskriminalämtern Baden-Württemberg und Bayern, den Polizeipräsidien Einsatz, Aalen, Ravensburg, Reutlingen, Schwaben Nord, Schwaben Süd/West und München sowie den Spezialeinsatzkommandos mehrerer Bundesländer 17 Wohnungen und ein Waldstück nach Beweismitteln durchsucht. Die durchsuchten Objekte befinden sich in München, den Landkreisen Augsburg, Biberach, Esslingen, Günzburg, Kempten, Sigmaringen, Tübingen und Ostallgäu sowie dem Ostalb- und Rems-Murr-Kreis. Hintergrund ist ein bei der Staatsanwaltschaft Stuttgart geführtes Ermittlungsverfahren gegen derzeit 19 Beschuldigte unter anderem wegen des Verdachts des Verstoßes gegen das Kriegswaffenkontrollgesetz. Ausgangspunkt der Ermittlungen war ein Hinweis, wonach sich bewaffnete Personen in Wehrmachtsuniformen in einem Gebäude im Landkreis Biberach getroffen haben sollen. Die daraufhin mit Hochdruck geführten Ermittlungen der Kriminalpolizei Ulm ergaben einen Verdacht gegen weitere Personen. Demnach sollen die Tatverdächtigen, bei denen es sich um Männer und Frauen zwischen 27 und 77 Jahren handelt, mit Wehrmachtsuniformen und mit Waffen ausgestattet in einem Waldstück zusammen gekommen sein und unter anderem Kriegsszenarien nachgestellt haben. Ersten Ermittlungen zufolge sollen die Tatverdächtigen weder behördliche Genehmigungen zum Veranstalten dieser Treffen noch zum Führen der Waffen gehabt haben. Es besteht weiterhin der Verdacht, dass die Männer und Frauen auch Waffen, die unter das Kriegswaffenkontrollgesetz fallen, benutzten und Kleidung trugen, auf denen verfassungsfeindliche Symbole angebracht sind. Im Rahmen der am Donnerstag erfolgten Durchsuchungen beschlagnahmten die Ermittler unter anderem Computer, eine Vielzahl an Waffen, Munition, Uniformteile, Fahrzeuge und verfassungsfeindliche Symbole. Die Einsatzkräfte fanden überdies Granaten, für deren Begutachtung Sprengstoffexperten angefordert wurden. Im Landkreis Sigmaringen wurden zwei Zündkapseln unter Aufsicht der Fachkräfte kontrolliert gesprengt. Bei einem der Beschuldigten stellten die Ermittler außerdem Betäubungsmittel sicher. In den Landkreisen Esslingen, Sigmaringen und dem Rems-Murr-Kreis stellten die Ermittler eine solche Anzahl an Waffen sicher, dass zu deren Abtransport Lkw benötigt wurden.

Er hatte die Auflagen nicht durchgesetzt – 59-Jähriger ermahnte “eher halbherzig” – Kaum einer hielt Abstand. 400 Menschen demonstrierten am 9. Mai auf dem Uniplatz gegen die Corona-Maßnahmen. Dabei standen sie zu dicht zusammen – und viele trugen keine Masken. Der Versammlungsleiter hätte stärker eingreifen müssen, fand das Gericht. Es war die größte – und bislang letzte – Demonstration gegen die Corona-Maßnahmen auf dem Uniplatz: Am 9. Mai nahmen nach Polizeischätzungen rund 400 Personen an der Versammlung teil – darunter auch Aktivisten aus dem rechten Spektrum, Reichsbürger, Verschwörungstheoretiker und Impfgegner. Rund 100 Zaungäste und etwa 100 Gegendemonstranten waren ebenfalls vor Ort. Die Stadt hatte 40 Teilnehmer erlaubt. “An den Mindestabstand war kaum zu denken”, schrieb die RNZ damals. Weil sich die Mehrzahl der Demonstranten nicht an den Mindestabstand hielt, viele keine Maske trugen und der Versammlungsleiter nicht einschritt, musste dieser sich jetzt vor dem Heidelberger Amtsgericht verantworten. Gegen einen zuvor ergangenen Strafbefehl hatte er Einspruch eingelegt. (…) Und auch die Ermahnungen von der Polizei habe der Versammlungsleiter nicht ernst genommen: “Ich hatte das Gefühl, dass es ihn gar nicht interessiert hat”, so der Einsatzleiter. “Er hat sich aufgeregt, dass wir ihn angesprochen und unterbrochen haben.” Dem Vertreter des Ordnungsamtes sei es sogar so vorgekommen, dass der Versammlungsleiter sich über die Auflagen “lustig macht”. Die Ermahnungen gegenüber den Teilnehmern seien “eher halbherzig” gewesen. (…) Dieser Argumentation folgte Richterin Sabine Gagelmann nicht. “Wir leben in einer Pandemie.” Und diese stelle eine “unmittelbar bevorstehende Gefahr” dar. Sie verurteilte den 59-Jährigen zu einer Geldstrafe von 30 Tagessätzen.
