Of course, being ‘balanced' journalists, they just have to mention that there is “no suggestion that GI UK endorses or supports violence”.

Which reminds me of this article in The Guardian, from August 2018;

"Twitter suspended numerous accounts associated with the rightwing 'western chauvinist' group the Proud Boys on Friday, the eve of the anniversary of the deadly Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville."

Journalists, in the meantime, were like;

"News outlets, the Guardian included, have struggled to categorize the group."

We start in early November 2018, when the Dutch general intelligence service, the AIVD, claims there are around 500 jihadists in the Netherlands;

https://www.nu.nl/binnenland/5554499/nederland-telt-volgens-aivd-vijfhonderd-jihadisten.html

On the same day, the Dutch counterterrorism unit, the NCTV, claims that right-wing extremism is on the rise, but unorganised, not linked to larger, well-known groups;

https://www.nu.nl/binnenland/5555201/nctv-nederland-druk-opleving-rechts-extremisme.html

This was quite obviously bullshit, and the reason for start this thread.

About a week later, The Guardian provides an example organised, affiliated fuckers in the UK, preparing for the 'race war' to come. Affiliated with a banned organisation, recruiting within the army, plans for a whites-only villages in Wales, open display of Nazi symbols, weapons, bombs, calls to ‘butcher the race traitors’, etc.

According to the head of the local CTU, “they’ve come together, they’re more organised, more sophisticated, there’s a greater sense of ideology and a greater determination to actually go out there and cause significant harm”.

Around the same time, it is revealed that the neo-Nazi cell in the German Army associated with Lieutenant Franco A., who was arrested in 2017 and then let go again, was much larger than previously believed;

https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2018/11/15/germ-n15.html

It was a case that didn't result in consequences until several years later;

"Franco A., who had been free until then, was ordered back in custody after a search at a train station found he was carrying a bag full of Nazi-era medals, and notebooks with swastikas”

"The suit has been brought by Washington state civil rights lawyer Larry Hildes on behalf of his client, Joseph Robinson. It alleges WSP officers collaborated with Patriot Prayer members in the illegal arrest and detention of Robinson at the College."

It is not exactly a new problem in Germany, either. The German domestic security agency (BfV) has a long history of, let's say, not being the best ally in the fight against nazis and fascists.

Here's an example from September 2018, when its head, Hans-Georg Maaßen, was called to task for dismissing footage of far-right gangs hunting down immigrants in Chemnitz;

"A suspected far-right sympathiser is feared at large in the Metropolitan police, having got away with scrawling a swastika in a secure area of a police station, the Guardian has learned. The hate crime was not made public by Britain’s largest force at the time and the culprit has not been caught.

[…]

The swastika was found in February drawn on an inside wall at Edmonton police station in Enfield, north London, in an area only accessible to officers and staff."

Here's another example, from July 2018, in which questions are being raised about the fact that the BfV not only failed to stop the NSU, despite knowing about it, and even taking action to prevent discovery of evidence;

"Lawyers representing the victims’ families have accused the domestic intelligence agencies of actively sabotaging the prosecution’s investigation in order to protect its informants. During the trial, one employee at the BfV’s headquarters admitted to destroying files on seven informants only days after the existence of the NSU cell came to light in 2011.”

December 2018;

“German prosecutors are investigating a suspected neo-Nazi cell within the Frankfurt police force that is thought to have sent a German-Turkish lawyer a message threatening to kill her two-year-old daughter.”

This lawyer, Seda Basay-Yildiz, represented the families of the victims of the NSU. Five people, four men and a woman, organised, coordinated, and planned. Their opsec wasn't very good, but if this is what surfaces, consider what else is underneath.

"More than 200 police officers carried out raids in six German states early on Thursday, seizing mobile phones, computers, unspecified weaponry, Nazi memorabilia and propaganda material, the interior ministry said."

"A police internal investigation found that an officer's computer at a station in Frankfurt had accessed a confidential database to obtain Basay-Yildiz's address shortly before the fax was sent."

Put this in the context of the demand for access to more data, from police forces everywhere, especially after something big and bad happens. The context of every nazi that is given a platform, profiles in mainstream media, 'both sides' debates on television and in public venues.

Every white person who claims it is 'not that bad here', that the warnings are 'alarmist'.

"The couple, from Banbury in Oxfordshire, were last week found guilty of being members of the far-right organisation National Action, which was banned in 2016.

Their friend Darren Fletcher, who admitted National Action membership before the trial, was jailed for five years for the same offence. In all, six people were sentenced on Tuesday for being members of the group, which the judge described as having horrific goals.”

In April 2019, we got a Dutch article about far-right extremists that are organising, and preparing for a 'new civil war' by sending locals to training camps in Fance, where they learn how to fight, because 'the white race is under threat’;

"Farmers associations and environmental groups in Germany are increasingly warning of a new strategy pursued with increasing transparency by the country’s new right: to use the enduring popularity of organic lifestyles and a burgeoning green movement as a step into the mainstream."

Ecofascism, basically. Protect our land, our fairytale forests, and native species.

Since this is likely to be read by people in tech, and in infosec, a reminder that to infiltrate, to smuggle in your ideology, you need to exploit a vulnerability in the system.

Fear of the Other is a zero-day that most white people refuse to patch, and set up detection rules for. We are basically granting tacit approval for this stuff to happen because we are not willing to draw a hard, unnegotiable line in the sand.

From May 26th, 2019;

"Republican lawmakers such as Ohio's Candice Keller have openly speculated that the divide over abortion rights might lead to civil war. Last month, Keller drew explicit comparisons with the antebellum situation over slavery, telling the Guardian: 'Whether this ever leads to a tragedy, like it did before with our civil war, I can’t say.'"

Preparing for the race war to come, basically, just like that neo-nazi upthread.

They are the same picture dot jpeg.
