Calgary navy member reinstated following investigation into alleged white supremacist past

The reinstatement of Boris Mihajlovic to active duty at HMCS Tecumseh has caused controversy after Mihajlovic was investigated by the Royal Canadian Armed Forces about his online past, which allegedly linked him to white supremacy and anti-Semitism. A Calgary-based Leading Seaman (LS) is back to active duty at HMCS Tecumseh, following several months of investigations by the Royal Canadian Armed Forces about his online past, that allegedly linked him to white supremacy and anti-Semitism. “We find this decision absolutely outrageous,” said Jaime Kirzner-Roberts, director of the anti-Semitism campaign at Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Centre in Toronto. Boris Mihajlovic’s online involvement,

Jack Posobiec Interviewed a Pro-Hitler Disinformation Poster on One America News Network

Jack Posobiec, a correspondent for One America News Network (OANN), brought a pseudonymous disinformation poster onto the air without providing context of that person’s hateful and terroristic beliefs, Hatewatch found. Posobiec produced a segment for OANN in September 2018 in which he interviewed “Microchip,” who was at that time a pseudonymous contributor to the white-supremacist-friendly website Gab. Microchip achieved notoriety during Trump’s 2016 run for president for his involvement in a number of high-profile disinformation campaigns. Posobiec also linked his Twitter followers to Microchip’s Gab feed at least five times after the interview was aired, archives show. Microchip posted statements

Deutsche #Sicherheitsbehörden – Mehr #Kooperation gegen rechten #Terror

Bei der Bekämpfung des Rechtsterrorismus wollen die Sicherheitsbehörden nun verstärkt den Blick ins Ausland richten. Auch der BND soll dafür stärker eingebunden werden. Stephan B. hatte ein Vorbild, so erzählte er es den Ermittlern nach seiner Festnahme. Der junge Mann, der in Kampfmontur und mit selbstgebauten Waffen im Oktober 2019 die Synagoge von Halle angegriffen hatte, war offenbar fasziniert von Brenton T., dem Attentäter von Christchurch. Er habe alles über ihn gelesen und auf seinem Computer gespeichert, so B.. Dessen Tat habe ihn motiviert ähnliches zu tun. T. war wenige Monate zuvor mit Sturmgewehren und Pistolen in Moscheen im neuseeländischen

Neo-Nazis Are Running Out of Places to Hide Online – #telegram #terror

Telegram booting far-right groups from their hub proves that platforms can, in fact, help curb terrorist recruitment in the internet age. In March 2019, amid the aftermath of the Christchurch massacre, the far right made a collective migration from an array of messenger platforms and discussion boards to the messaging app Telegram. On their new home—the same one ISIS adopted as its digital headquarters in 2015—neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups steadily grew their audiences by the thousands. The Russian-founded, UK-based Telegram connected different far-right communities, helping to bring far more organization to the movement as a whole. Despite repeated reporting

United by hatred of Jews and immigrants, white supremacists are increasingly working together across borders – #terror #azov #ukraine

Shortly before he killed 51 people, the gunman who perpetrated the Christchurch, New Zealand, mosque shooting posted a manifesto to the website 8chan in which he praised a fellow white supremacist — the attacker who killed 77 people in Norway in 2011. A few weeks later, the Christchurch shooter was praised by another gunman — the one who perpetrated the synagogue shooting in Poway, California. Four months after that, yet another gunman, in the El Paso shooting, posted a similar white supremacist manifesto to 8chan. The attacks happened across the globe — in Europe, Oceania and America. But they followed

White Supremacist Pleads Guilty to Planning Attacks on Gay Bar, Synagogue in Las Vegas

Conor Climo, the Las Vegas man charged in August in federal court for planning to carry out a terrorist attack on a synagogue and gay bar, has pleaded guilty to the charges. The AP reports: “Conor Climo, 24, stood rigidly in yellow jail scrubs, answering, ‘Yes, your honor,”‘ while U.S. District Judge James Mahan questioned him about encrypted internet chats with an FBI informant and his membership in Feuerkrieg Division, an offshoot of a U.S.-based neo-Nazi group called Atomwaffen Division. Climo said he possessed ‘materials required to make a destructive device, your honor.’ He pleaded guilty to felony possession of

The many faces of neo-Nazism in the UK

The number of trials against neo-Nazi individuals in the UK show why racial nationalism is still alive in the country. Despite the shift in the radical right’s discourse to issues of culture, racial nationalism is far from a dying threat. Newer radical right movements have distanced themselves from the overtly neo-Nazi groups of the past in an attempt to confer themselves legitimacy, with members avoiding using racially-charged slurs or dehumanising language. Yet neo-Nazism is far from dormant. In the United Kingdom, the biggest threat from neo-Nazi groups has come from the remnants of National Action, which was the first radical
