Thread by @Jake_Hanrahan

THREAD showing evidence I've come across that suggests the recent murder of a young Jewish man in California was committed by a neo-Nazi, possibly as a politically motivated killing. (Sat on this for a week waiting on editors but now bits of the info are already out, so fuck it).

On January 2nd a 19-year-old Jewish man went missing in southern California. He turned up dead on Jan 9th, buried in a shallow grave in Borrego Park (). A former class-mate was arrested on suspicion of the murder on Jan 12th.wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=3…

The deceased is Blaze Bernstein and the suspected killer--now charged with the murder--is Sam Woodward, 20. (Referred to here on out as Blaze and Sam). See the next tweet for the LA Times story.

Police were first considering that it may have been a hate crime as Blaze was gay. Sam told police that Blaze tried to kiss him whilst he was at Borrego Park with him (they were former class-mates hanging out). Blaze was then stabbed more than 20 times. beta.latimes.com/local/lanow/la…

Sam, the suspected killer, was actually a self-proclaimed Nazi & once allegedly to be part of Atomwaffen Division (AWD), according to three people who knew him that I've spoken to (pics later in the thread).

AWD is a small American neo-Nazi group that follows the teachings of a Nazi named James Mason (who started his teachings on the advice of Charles Manson).

Whilst AWD are seen often as a bit of an edgelord group of Nazi LARPers, they have actually been connected to several acts of violence, including murder. splcenter.org/hatewatch/2017…

Being linked to violence is something they seem to revel in, as is shown here in one of their videos. bitchute.com/video/n5jFIB0L…

They say they're non-violent yet their whole aesthetic & message is one of militancy. These photos for example don't exactly depict peaceful people. Note: AWD logo is the Atomic sign in the middle of the flag. On social media they often use the nuclear emoji to show allegiance.

To get more of an idea of what they're about (it's mad), check out the AWD website:

And James Mason's Nazi work: atomwaffendivision.org
scrofadivision.eu/product/james-…

It was alluded to in reports already that Sam was far right on some level (), but it's only just come out that he was a white supremacist. It was bigger than that though. Sam was once a member of AWD and a self described Nazi, as mentioned.losangeles.cbslocal.com/2018/01/12/new…

A few people (who wish to remain anonymous) who knew Sam, recently told me that he was a long time neo-Nazi. One of them showed me a message from Sam where he says, referring to himself, "being an American NS"--NS being National Socialist.

The pic in PT was sent from Sam's Snapchat. I've confirmed with two different people that this was Sam's Snapchat. Pics here show Sam sending pics of himself from the Snapchat account. Note "44" being half of "88" ("Heil Hitler"). Also a pic of Sam in jail for reference.

Whilst a member of AWD, the people who knew Sam's said he went to a training camp in Arizona in the summer in 2017. The pic here is a photo Sam allegedly sent on Snapchat whilst there. Also, here's a video of one of AWD's "hate camps": pewtube.com/user/GeneralFr…

Here's another image Sam sent of himself from his Snapchat. See that it's his face, his name on the Snapchat. Reverse search doesn't show this image anywhere else. I believe the Snapchat account to be legit.

Sam's associates sent me links to what they say were his old @Kik messenger accounts. One has a picture of James Mason (the Nazi referred to above in this thread) as the avatar and also the AWD nuclear sign.

This is allegedly Sam's other Kik. The handle is "This_Time_The_World" which is the title of a book by George Lincoln Rockwell, the founder of the American Nazi Party. archive.org/details/ThisTi…

Sam's associates told me that he left / was kicked out of AWD because he said they were just posers. I cannot confirm this. Sam then allegedly joined another group via , the now defunct Nazi & white supremacist website which was a hub for fascists.IronMarch.org

Sam allegedly met a guy in real life from Iron March, who I'm told convinced him to drop out of college & take a job as a metal worker. Whoever this guy is (I don't have enough info) he is believed by Sam's associates to have radicalised him further.

On Snapchat Sam sent a screenshot from Iron March which was the last message from the Iron March owner before the site was taken down (black box is to protect identity of the source). Sam sent this a month before the murder. It's this image: 78.media.tumblr.com/db9344cea984c0…

Here is a suggested reading list from an account on an app called iFunny that I've been told was Sams. Not my captions.

Looking at the above, it suggests that Sam Woodward is likely a Nazi. Whilst it's not proof of motive in the killing of Blaze Bernstein, I dare say it's worth looking at considering Blaze was a gay Jewish man. /end

Coincidentally, Atomwaffen Division release another propaganda video yesterday, showing them arms training / shooting into the darkness.

Note: Journalists stop combing this thread for info for your articles without crediting or citing me as a source.

I'm working on an investigation into the alleged neo-Nazi murderer Sam Woodward & his membership to Atomwaffen Division for @ProPublica, with @awinston & @ACInvestigates. Here's our first piece: propublica.org/article/califo…

Another photo of Sam doing the Nazi salute next two other Atomwaffen Division members.

To give you an idea of what Atomwaffen are into, if it wasn't already clear, here is their most recent propaganda video (sharing this for journalistic purposes only of course).

Atomwaffen are now openly glamourising Nick Giampa, one of their alleged members who shot his girlfriend's parents to death when they found out about his neo-Nazism.

Atomwaffen Exposed: Here's the second part of our (me, @awinston, @ACInvestigates) investigation into Atomwaffen, for @ProPublica. We got hold of their private chat logs & some of their real identities. “Now we're really rolling”. Have a read & pass it on. propublica.org/article/atomwa…

A short video about some of the internal chats Atomwaffen had on their Discord server. We got hold of 250,000 of their messages to each other.

Atomwaffen has as many as 20 cells (that vary in size) all across America. They've active cells in Texas, Virginia, Washington, Nevada, and elsewhere.

In our reporting we’ve discovered Atomwaffen members have spoken about using explosives to cripple public water systems and destroy parts of the electrical power grid in the US.

This is the current leader of Atomwaffen Division. He goes by the alias "Rape". His real name is John Cameron Denton. He's 24, grew up in Montgomery, #Texas, and currently lives nearby in Conroe. In the chats he preaches hate, violence, and far-right occult doctrine.

The last Atomwaffen training camp, or "Hate Camp" as they call it, was held in Death Valley. They chose this area as they see the late Charles Manson as one of their figurative leaders. Manson & "The Family" hid out in Death Valley after their killings (video by @lhwaldron).

Here's the head of the Atomwaffen #LasVegas cell. He goes by the alias "Komissar". His real name is Michael Lloyd Hubsky. He claims to have a classified map of the US power grid & discussed blowing up natural gas lines, saying “you put a home-made thermite grenade on those.”

Here's the brother of the leader of Atomwaffen. Also a member. He goes by the alias "Nazgul". His real name is Grayson Patrick Denton & he lives in Texas. In the chats he says "Hitler and Stalin did nothing wrong". More than 26million people were killed under the two combined.

Just in case you were under any illusion as to how extreme Atomwaffen's views are, here's some propaganda from their official site (shared for informative purposes only, of course).

Under the the leadership of Denton, the group has also taken a turn toward far-right occultism & left-hand path satanic Nazism. Denton, Kaleb Cole, and others have admitted to following the teachings of the Order of Nine Angles (O9A), which has caused friction within AWD.

O9A is strange satanic-fascist umbrella for anyone who follows their brutal ideology. It began in England in the 70s & is believed to have been a brain child of former neo-Nazi turned former jihadist, David Myatt (which he denies). …gardingdavidmyatt.files.wordpress.com/2018/02/a-mode…

This photo is allegedly from Denton/Rape's Instagram account. Here you can see SIEGE, the Atomwaffen ideological handbook, and to the right an O9A patch (the pic on the right for comparison). I've also seen a photo of Kaleb Cole with an O9A patch on his jacket.

SIEGE is so extreme in it's nature that at one point the author, James Mason, defends the Manson Family murder of Sharon Tate's unborn child, saying "it was, after all, a Jew". If you want to properly understand the AWD indoctrination it's a horrible but vital read.

To further understand Atomwaffen's ideological underpinning, that is the teachings of SIEGE, read this "Atomwaffen and the SIEGE parallax: how one neo-Nazi’s life’s work is fueling a younger generation": splcenter.org/hatewatch/2018…

Here's another one of the leaders of Atomwaffen's #Texas cell. He goes by the alias "Wehrwolf". His real name is Sean Michael Fernandez. In the chat he hoped that Atomwaffen's association to the Bernstein murder would incite "copycat crimes".

Here, in a message from Sam Woodward’s Kik account, he confirms he was
involved with Atomwaffen murderer Devon Arthurs (). Woodward then goes on to endorse ISIS, saying:

“What ISIS wants > Neolib multicultural hell-world” theguardian.com/us-news/2017/m…

The first formation of ideas that spawned Atomwaffen didn't start on Iron March as many cite, but actually on a Tinychat server dedicated to Third Position politics () >splcenter.org/fighting-hate/…

In this old screen shot you can even see Brandon Russell, the founder of Atomwaffen Division, on the far right on the top row, using the name "Odin". Odin is also his Atomwaffen alias. He's now in prison after getting caught with homemade explosives. nytimes.com/2018/01/10/us/…

By the way, if you’ve got any useful info on Atomwaffen Division, get in touch. My DMs are open or email me: [e-mail]

Julian Assange is chatting shit (surprise) about our recent Atomwaffen investigation because we haven’t released all the chat logs yet. Unlike him, we like to protect our sources. Much more is coming, don’t worry.

Looks like System Resistance Network, the new iteration of the banned UK neo-Nazi group National Action, has severed ties with Atomwaffen having previously been casting themselves as their UK wing. It’s due to the satanic direct Atomwaffen went in. pewtube.com/user/SRNETWORK…

Atomwaffen has had a large internal split due to the main leaders being outed as satanists who support O9A (see thread). Many of the original members have left and formed a new community, starting to continue spreading their Nazism.fashcast.org

Some good work here by @eugeneantifa exposing another Atomwaffen member. They found the identity of Matthew James Carroll of the Washington cell. Carroll has been very active online, saying "I pray I have his conviction" referring to Timothy McVeigh. eugeneantifa.noblogs.org/post/2018/03/0…

Also, @RoseCityAntifa exposed another Atomwaffen member who did arms training with Khim / Kaleb Cole (see thread) & others in Washington State. rosecityantifa.org/articles/wade-…

(Note: I am not associated with nor necessarily even a supporter of either of these groups—I actually find most US Antifa to be self serving & ineffective—but good work is good work.)

I was on @War_College speaking about our investigation into the militant US neo-Nazi "Atomwaffen Division". Also spoke about their links to the occult. Have a listen. soundcloud.com/war_college/in…

FAO other journos: It you’re going to comb this thread for story ideas related to Atomwaffen, at least attribute me correctly in your piece.

Note: US Antifa groups trying to pressure us for the chat logs need to relax. We're taking our time to make sure everything is correct & sources aren't burned. More is coming in the Atomwaffen investigation, but be aware that acting like little brats will not work for you.

Seems that Atomwaffen's hardcore ideological platform "SIEGE Culture" (@siegeculture_) is really sticking with the O9A/satanic direction. Here they've retweeted an edit (by their graphic designer) that shows David Myatt, the alleged founder of O9A (see thread).

Saying that, maybe they're just fucking about. They've also posted up several edits that praise the @YouTube shooter Nasim Aghdam (with cuneiform around the top of this one no less).

They've been playing dress-up again too, having even gotten a real version of the scales + swastika image from the SIEGE Culture logo made. They've also got SIEGE armbands (this one is based on Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists logo).

Here's another one. The Atomwaffen graphic designer recently made an edit of an image from a satanic group Rape/Denton (see thread) is linked to. Liber 333 is the ideological handbook of Tempel ov Blood, a bizarre nihilist-satanic group that follows O9A: bloodtempel.wordpress.com/tag/liber-333/

Today, on Hitler’s birthday, what’s left of Atomwaffen Division has put their propaganda site back online after weeks of it being defunct. Their official site is back up too. They’ve ignored their top members being exposed by our investigation & have doubled down on the Satanism.

Atomwaffen posted this photo of James Mason dressed as some kind of Nazi priest whilst hanging out with people much younger than him. Bare in mind in 1994 Mason was arrested and charged with two counts of sexual exploitation of a child. Fucked up.

The insinuation above, with the quote, is that Atomwaffen / James Mason are fine with the Satanism. They're showing that Mason was down with the edgiest crowds before all this (see thread). After all, Mason was close to Sandy & Squeaky from Charles Manson's "The Family" cult.

Here’s the 3rd part of our (@acinvestigates, @awinston, and me) Atomwaffen Division investigation, where we reveal some of their members are in the US military—that’s militant neo-Nazis who burn the American flag on camera training in the US armed forces. propublica.org/article/atomwa…

We also show how Vasillios Pistolis (alias VasilliostheGreek), one of Atomwaffen’s members who’s a US Marine, was bragging about “cracking skulls” at the clashes in #Charlottesville. We prove he wasn’t bluffing.

This piece is a collaboration between @ProPublica and @FrontlinePBS by the way. Fancy fancy.

Here’s Atomwaffen member & US Marine Vasillios Pistolis smashing someone over the head with a flag pole at #Charlottesville. He later bragged about the blood on the flag to other Atomwaffen members saying “not my blood”. Also pictured: Vasillios in his Marine Corps dress uniform.

Watch our video to see how we proved it's Vassilios attacking the protesters at #Charlottesville. Full version:

We found at least three others Atomwaffen members who were currently training or had trained in the US armed forces. One was even training civilian Atomwaffen members using techniques he'd learned in the army. (See next tweet).

Joshua Beckett (alias NatVet), who served in the US Army for four years, trained Atomwaffen members in how to use firearms. Beckett, 26, worked as a combat engineer while in the army. Combat engineers are the army’s demolitions experts. Atomwaffen want to blow things up.

Also, here’s a selection of quotes from another Atomwaffen member in the military that I picked out of the Atomwaffen chat logs we obtained (see thread) that didn’t make the editor’s cut. His alias is Vass (not the same person as VasiliostheGreek). He says he's a combat medic.

Here Vass is talking about not hiding his Nazi beliefs well enough whilst in basic training (AIT).

Vass, who says he's a US Army combat medic, says that he and the other Atomwaffen members are “Charles Manson’s retribution”. This isn’t shitposting either—Atomwaffen have made their love for Charles Manson clear for a long time.

(I've been tracking Atomwaffen Division for over a year, but ultimately all this investigation work started with this: .
Do read the whole thread to get all the info.)

For the best context, here's the whole thread unrolled. threadreaderapp.com/thread/9552081…

Here's what Vasillios said about Heather Heyer, the 32-year-old woman killed by a white supremacist at the #Charlottesville clashes. Again, this guy is a US Marine and member of militant neo-Nazi group Atomwaffen Division, who're connected to the murders of five people.

“In Atomwaffen chats, Beckett ... said he was building assault rifles and would happily construct weapons for his fellow members. “Give me the parts and the receiver and I’ll get it all together for you,” Beckett wrote in August 2017.” pbs.org/wgbh/frontline…

This is Tyler / Euology (his aliases), one of the few Atomwaffen members to visit Brandon Russell, their founder & leader, in prison. Russell is serving five years after police found explosives material & radioactive isotopes in his basement. (See thread).

Tyler lives in #NewJersey and runs / works at a mechanic garage. He’s one of the Atomwaffen true believers and has been to visit Russell in prison at least once, sometimes relaying messages back to other Atomwaffen affiliates.

I’ve seen internal messages and texts from Tyler that confirms all this. I’ve also checked with a former Atomwaffen member to see if the picture is him and they confirmed it. In the chat logs he was commenting on how big Brandon Russell had gotten in prison.

Due to the reporting by @awinston, @ACInvestigates, and me today about the violent Atomwaffen member who’s a US Marine (see thread), the Marine Corps has launched an official investigation into his conduct. More: taskandpurpose.com/marine-corps-o…

My US Marine source (in the article) just confirmed again to me that the 2nd Marine Logistics Group and the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) have launched investigations into Vasillios based off of our reporting. One nil.

In these images you’ll see the same man. Vasillios Pistolis, US Marine and militant neo-Nazi member of Atomwaffen who fought at the #Charlottesville clashes. On the left in his combat fatigues. On the right, street fighting as a Nazi.

Here’s Vasillios (on the right) at a rally in Tennessee last year with an Atomwaffen flag. The flag on the left is of the Traditionalist Workers Party, another new American fascist party that also promotes SIEGE.

Hard times.

The scumbags at @Facebook are censoring the important video @lhwaldron put together about a violent Nazi in the Marine Corps for our Atomwaffen investigation because of "foul language". Silicon Valley is a total hell.

After more than a year tracking Atomwaffen Division and eventually exposing them with @awinston & @ACInvestigates, I’ve decided I’m done. We exposed their leadership, showed their members committed murders, and got an investigation launched by the US Marines. I’m worn out.

I’ll keep an eye on Atomwaffen still and will hopefully be involved in the @Frontlinepbs doc about them, but I think it’s good to leave it on a high. I have other projects that need time. It’s been great working with Ali & AC. Not sure how they put up with me.

Member of Congress @keithellison read our latest article on Atomwaffen and wrote to US Secretary of Defense Mad Dog Mattis, asking for an investigation. Pretty cool.

Just found this image from when I first ever started tracking Atomwaffen Division. This was their Twitter photo in 2015 / 2016. One of these two is likely Brandon Russell, the imprisoned founder of the group.

Remember that US Marine we exposed as being a violent member of Nazi group Atomwaffen (see thread)? Turns out @DEdwardBeck reported him to @USMC last October. They seemingly didn’t do anything. See this thread:

#Atomwaffen update: In their first video release since January their imprisoned leader Brandon Russell speaks. He reaffirms his role as leader, seems fully on board with the Manson stuff, & exposes members they now consider traitors. (Sharing for reporting purposes only).

I heard this release was coming but didn’t expect to see footage from their Death Valley Hate Camp. Quite interesting as many of the members in that have since left Atomwaffen. They also use old unreleased footage from their Concrete Washington escapades.

A cell of the Atomwaffen Division has started up in #Germany. Their first video is a statement saying they’re at the start of “the last long fight”. For any Germans not aware of what a threat these lot could be, see the thread—they’re militant esoteric Nazis.

By the way, the footage of the marching in Germany is not Atomwaffen. Pointed about by @shell_blog, that was some fascist group called “The Immortals” from 2012. Atomwaffen Germany is likely very small. The Immortals:

Hadn’t seen this before. Turns out the imprisoned founder of Atomwaffen Division even has the group’s logo tattooed on his arm.

Atomwaffen are selling a t-shirt showing support for Saw Woodward (alias Arn), one of their members charged with stabbing Blaze Bernstein to death (see thread). It's being sold on @teespring. Grim.

After the investigation into an Atomwaffen (violent neo-Nazis, see thread) member serving in the US Marines by @awinston, @ACInvestigates, and me, @USMC has court-martialled him. He hasn't been dismissed though. He's still a Marine. God bless America... taskandpurpose.com/neo-nazi-marin…

Atomwaffen posted this bizarre image yesterday. They're very committed to the satanic Nazism now. Note, the guy on the left has a Liber333 patch which is being sold by Tempel ov Blood, a weird Texas based cult who're friends with Atomwaffen and are obsessed with terror.

propublica.org/article/vasili…

I'm pretty much done even tracking #Atomwaffen now I think, so I put this thread into a more readable format with a little introduction too. Have a look if you like. medium.com/@Hanrahan/atom…

The US Marine who we exposed as once being a member of Atomwaffen Division has now been booted out the Marine Corps.

Sam Woodward, the Atomwaffen Division member who killed a gay Jewish lad in January (see start of thread), has just been indicted on hate crime murder charges.

After my work on Atomwaffen Division I was completely sidelined by ProPublica and the producers of the FrontlinePBS doc (who in my opinion don’t properly get what AWD is still). But whatever. Here’s the first part of their thing. pbs.org/wgbh/frontline…

The two brothers who were online friends with the #PittsburghSynagogue shooter, saying it was a “dry run for things to come”, have links to Atomwaffen Division. In fact it looks like one of them was actually in the AWD Discord server we popped. pbs.org/wgbh/frontline…

Here’s the original track used in Atomwaffen’s “Zealous Operation” video. They remixed “Gas the Kikes! Race war now!” into it. Not sure if the original artist has any relevance but you never know when in this rabbit hole.

(ID’d by @holehglockamole)

Here's a photo of "Blitz" (Andrew Dymock), the leader of Sonnenkrieg Division (Atomwaffen's UK wing) on the left and "Soldat" (Oskar Koczorowski).

Soldat is currently charged with terror offences and Blitz is allegedly being investigated for sex offences.

Note: Blitz is wearing an Azov t-shirt (Azov being the largest far-right Ukraine militia). Soldat is wearing an Atomwaffen hoody.

Alleged pedophile and Atomwaffen Division member Benjamin Bogard (alias Autokrator) is using the “edgelord” defence in his current troubles with the law. The irony is hilarious. thedailybeast.com/feds-feared-al…

Some of the deepest investigative work I've seen so far on Atomwaffen Division...

@Nate_Thayer found an occultist Atomwaffen Nazi within the @USArmy. The guy shows O9A books whilst on active duty, praising Manson.

Nate's site went down. Here's a PDF: scribd.com/document/40612…

(To be clear I don't agree with Nate on some of this and have told him as much. For example saying that ToB "practices human sacrifice". They don't. But either way the work is very detailed and relevant).

Former leader John Denton (alias Rape) clarifying what he thinks about Charles Manson, Hitler, and various left hand path satanic texts.

First Atomwaffen Division video release in almost a year. All of the footage is old (unused publicly, but old nonetheless) and some of the people in it aren't even in the group anymore. Looks like they're trying to build a new website though.

By the looks of it this has been edited by someone new. Their old video editor (I'm told it was Khim, who apparently left) was better. This one looks a bit half arsed. Not really sure what they're trying to do with it.

Not much to this video, other than some shooting, weird grappling, and burning flags: Israel, Kek, UN, Gadsen, LGBT, Black Lives Matter, US police Thin Blue Line. Interesting that they didn't burn the US flag as they usually do. I'm guessing they want to realign a bit.

Based on the cool hat, I'm going to guess this lad is Grayson Denton, the brother of former Atomwaffen leader (who has apparently been kicked out).

The hat is apparently a WW2 German Panzer M43 Field Cap replica. Maximum edginess.

Alleged Atomwaffen Germany flyers have been found pinned up in Cologne around the anniversary of an NSU nail bomb in the city. At the end of the flyer it says "Targeted attacks will start soon".

(Via @Baharehzade)

If you haven't yet, check out @DerSPIEGEL's report from last year about Atomwaffen Germany. It's good. spiegel.de/international/…

Two members of Atomwaffen UK have been sent to prison for terror offences. Michal Szewczuk, alias Groz, was the one advocating regularly online for child abuse. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-486729…

See this thread for more info on the Sonnenkreig Division members who were sentenced to prison today.

A white supremacist in Las Vegas has been arrested after they found bomb making materials in his house, including chemicals and wares for an IED. This guy was in communication with militant neo-Nazi group Atomwaffen Division. See thread for detail on them. buzzfeednews.com/article/salvad…

He claims to have actually been a member of Atomwaffen and one of their splinter groups. Whilst investigating them last year it was clear Atomwaffen were sharing information on how to build IEDs. Perhaps this guy got it from them.

A neo-Nazi (Cameron Blake, 34) with links to Atomwaffen Division has been arrested in LA after he threatened to kill a Jewish man and his infant daughter.

(@LATimes please correct the name of Blaze Bernstein in this article. You have it as "Blazer".)

latimes.com/california/sto…

British neo-Nazis of an Atomwaffen (see thread) spin-off group of have designed posters threatening to murder a specific police officer of @WMPolice, who was in charge of arresting one of their Nazi friends recently. These were found on their Telegram channel. Quite brazen.

In the chats they also posted the addresses of many West Midlands police stations and training facilities, encouraging members to attack police officers there. I doubt they'd do any of this, but it shows the tentacles of Atomwaffen are still active online at least.

US esoteric neo-Nazi militants Atomwaffen Division are back. Or at least they claim to be in a new deep web video release. It's cringe, but something that is maybe interesting is this binary code from a split second in the video. Any idea what it refers to?

(Right = translated)

Things Atomwaffen doesn't mention in their latest video:

- Atomwaffen UK was run by a gay guy (they're homophobic)
- Satanic LARPing toppled them at their peak
- Figurehead James Mason is an admitted pedophile (he even has an obscure photobook about it)
- Feds are all over them

(AWD have been sending the new .onion site to a fair few reporters to get some press. There's been some terrible stuff written on it recently that simply promotes it. If you're going to write about this, make more effort.)

Finally a good new piece on Atomwaffen Division. @AWinston writes about how the FBI is finally closing in on the neo-Nazi militants. thedailybeast.com/fbi-crackdown-…

Neo-Nazi militant group FKD, an Atomwaffen spin-off in Europe, has released a video showing them making explosives in #Lithuania. It also includes a headline about them leaving an IED somewhere in #Vilnius. It wasn’t detonated.

(Via @Roman_Hoefner)

Short thread on the FKD bomb in Lithuania.

Atomwaffen Division (US neo-Nazis) released a new video. They’re calling for lone wolf attacks (in a roundabout way) and promise to start doing some terrorism. It’s very dramatic, and I think a lot of the footage is old but unused—noticed though that they have a new editor...

...and the cinematography is much better than their last release. They’re shying away from the homoerotic Satanism and esoteric-Hitlerism they’re famous for too. They don’t mention their FBI informants or pedophilia either. This video feels like the Feds have helped 😂.

In the end of the video the narrator goes full on bonkers. I can’t tell if it’s trolling or serious due to how throaty he gets, but either way they’re clearly trying to start up again. US NatSoc community don’t take them seriously—perhaps this is an attempt to change that.

They end the video on this ominous note.

On their deep web site Atomwaffen are trying to pretend the new video isn’t them—some imposters. In their Telegram chats though, they’ve been uploading screenshots of it all week lol. Derp.

Another behind-the-scenes photo shared on one of the several Atomwaffen Telegram channels. It was shared before the video came out, with many other images, and no one said a thing about it being fake.

Key Atomwaffen Division member Kaleb Cole (alias “Khimaere” or “Khim”) has had his firearms seized by the Seattle Police due to an “Extreme Risk Protection Order”.

(Great work by @awinston, who refuses to stop chasing these neo-Nazis.)

thedailybeast.com/police-seize-h…

Members of The Base (US neo-Nazi training camp organisation affiliated with Atomwaffen) have posted this photo recently where they appear to be holding a goat’s head. Pretty weird.

(H/t @Roman_Hoefner)

Another image from a recent training exercise by The Base.

Apparently the entire SQL database of the international neo-fascist Iron March forum (where Atomwaffen first properly organised). Contains info on all users, including user emails, IP address, and private messages, as well as all posts and comments. Enjoy. archive.org/details/iron_m…

This will help you navigate the Iron March dump (AKA FashyLeaks). bellingcat.com/resources/how-…

(Please stop DMing asking how I got this Iron March info--it's not my work here. The link was just sent to me and I shared it, as many others have.)

New @PopularFrontCO bonus episode up now on the Patreon: We speak to @awinston about the return of militant neo-Nazi group Atomwaffen Division, and the possibility their new dissident group is an op by the feds.

- patreon.com/posts/31540220

More and more key Atomwaffen Division members are being arrested. Seems like the Feds have an op against them.

New propaganda video released by US neo-Nazi training group “The Base”. The Base is an Atomwaffen proxy.

Sharing for research purposes (several potentially useful things in this video). They put my face in this which is quite sweet. They got a decent picture this time at least.

(Note: Several journalists have taken to saying “The Base” named themselves as such because of al-Qaeda. It’s a coincidence and is not why they called themselves that.)

The alleged leader of militant neo-Nazi organisation “Sonnenkrieg Division” (the UK wing of Atomwaffen Division) has been arrested and charged with 12 terror offences. bbc.com/news/uk-506669…

Journalist @nate_thayer has found the identity of one of the highest ranking Atomwaffen Division members. Alias RyanAW is allegedly Ryan Hatfield from Denver, Colorado. He was instrumental in resurrecting SIEGE. nate-thayer.com/secret-identit…

@nate_thayer A new propaganda video from an alleged dissident faction of the US neo-Nazi / esoteric Hitlerist militant group "Atomwaffen Division" makes out like they have fighters in the ATO zone in #Ukraine pledging allegiance to them. Here's why the whole thing is likely bogus...

- They show a guy with a blurred patch (why not just take it off?). The patch is the old design of the muted Azov Battalion patch. You only get this patch if you're fighting on the front, or, if you buy it online for $2...

- According to @CalibreObscura, who is the number one Conflict Twitter guy for ID'ing weapons, all the guns in the video are airsoft. That is, they're not real guns. Note this AK-74 fixed stock variant has three pins at the rear. It should have only two.

(I know fuck all about guns but I trust Cali completely on this.)

- Also, pointed out in the @PopularFrontCO Discord by our mate Karver, all airsoft guns get a coloured ziptie put on them after they have something called a chronograph inspection. Note the two coloured zip ties on this weapon.

- Also, you can literally find this airsoft weapon for sale online here: airsoft-rus.ru/catalog/1025/2…

- In the vid they don't fire a single shot with the weapons they're displaying. Fishy... All the combat footage is old archive stuff from various different groups in Ukraine as well. It's not theirs. Galizien = Ukraine SS units.

This dissident group (sometimes referred to as Atomwaffen Fission--see thread) has also made a load of new edgy Nazi graphics, including this one glorifying the New Zealand mosque shooter.

(I know it's horrible, but our job is to investigate this stuff. I won't be filtering.)

They have a new pamphlet out as well which shows they're still trying to encourage lone wolf franchises of Atomwaffen terror, albeit at an arm's length.

.@frontlinepbs and @propublica won a @columbiajourn DuPont award using mine and @awinston’s work and DIDN’T CREDIT US, again. The vast majority of the investigative research for the doc they just won with was done by us. Hey @ACInvestigates what is your fucking problem?

Please see the above tweet (and the thread it’s attached to) @duPontAwards, as @frontlinepbs and @propublica have won your award with work done by myself and @awinston without crediting us at all. Bare in mind ProPublica asked me to help them. medium.com/@Hanrahan/atom…

Sorry to keep whining but it’s important. @propublica has now mentioned mine and @awinston’s work on their site when talking about the DuPont—so why did they leave us out of the credits on the actual DuPont? Until our names are credited on the DuPont site this won’t end.

Atomwaffen Fission (see thread) claim that we’re wrong that they were using airsoft in their recent propaganda video...

But it looks like @ArmoryBazaar found the exact model 🤷‍♂️. guay2.com/en/product/det…

@ArmoryBazaar Very good @bellingcat article about the origins of Atomwaffen Division and how the formed largely via Iron March. bellingcat.com/news/2019/12/1…

@ArmoryBazaar @bellingcat New @PopularFrontCO bonus episode out now on Patreon: We speak to top lad @CalibreObscura about why he's certain the weapons used in a recent militant neo-Nazi propaganda video are airsoft and not real. This one gets very geeky. Don't miss it.

The former leader of Atomwaffen has just been arrested. This could be a major development. Keep yours eyes on it.

Here’s a charming email I got from Krokodil last year 😂.

Five Atomwaffen members arrested across four states today.

The leader of Atomwaffen Division Germany has also been arrested. spiegel.de/panorama/neona…

Good write up on the recent Atomwaffen Division mass arrests, by @awinston. thedailybeast.com/neo-nazi-group…

Thanks for the cameo boys.

Looks like the US state department is pushing for Atomwaffen Divison to be officially listed as a terrorist organisation.

politico.com/amp/news/2020/…

Very interesting. This is apparently the guy who recruited Rape (John Cameron Denton) to Atomwaffen Division. Rape would later fall into the leadership role, moving AWD further into the O9A and Esoteric Hitlerism ideologies.

Nazi leader of Atomwaffen is accused of trading pedophilic images.

We saw John Cameron Denton (alias Rape) regularly write up and post bizarre and perverted sexual fantasy stories in the Atomwaffen discord. He also showed dismay...

(H/t @awinston)

washingtonpost.com/local/public-s…

...at age of consent laws a few times.

He openly said that he knew James Mason (the legacy Nazi who wrote the Atomwaffen guidebook “SIEGE”) was an old pedo and he thought it was hilarious.

Denton’s also the one who pushed Atomwaffen in an Order of Nine Angles (O9A) direction.

O9A is a left-hand-path occult fraternity that started in the UK (see way up the thread for more info).

O9A is properly satanic (or at least that’s the easiest way to describe it)—as in, they’re not just edgy atheists like the Anton LeVey followers, O9A folks worship demons.

One of the main goals of O9A is to destroy all societal norms—the most hardcore adherents advocate for random murder and praise pedophilia as some kind of “subversive” act.

It’s beyond sickening. Have a read of one of the O9A books “Hostia”. It’s mad: o9a.org/wp-content/upl…

So, keep all of the above in mind when looking at John Cameron Denton. Him, and fellow Atomwaffen Division cell leader Kaleb Cole (alias Khim), were both involved in occult shit before they joined AWD. They were big into Nat Soc Black Metal and O9A stuff.

(Here's Denton's old NSBM music project "Count Shannath", way before he joined Atomwaffen. You can see he was already influenced by all that "sinister tradition" shit back then: ) metal-archives.com/bands/Count_Sh…

Within months of Denton falling into the Atomwaffen Division leadership role, O9A related books became part of the compulsory reading for all Atomwaffen recruits. Specifically a book call "Iron Gates", published by an American O9A linked group called Tempel ov Blood (ToB).

Iron Gates is a fictional book about a wasteland roamed by a brutal satanic cult. The book opens with an infant child being murdered for sport. It's very fucked up.

Iron Gates and Bluebird (similar book, written by ToB) became staple Atomwaffen literature under Denton's rule.

There's loads to be said about ToB and their imprint Martinet Press too (see the thread). They're a satanic, North Korea worshipping, pro self-harm, mini-cult led by a life long neo-Nazi Joshua Sutter. He grew close to Denton and joined Atomwaffen. Sutter: nknews.org/2013/05/white-…

Atomaffen and ToB became almost one and the same at points. You can see them together in the below tweet.

Anyway, my point with all that is that it should be no surprise to anyone paying attention that John Cameron Denton is now up on pedophile charges as well as the Atomwaffen related stuff. They formed a whole network of the darkest shit you can imagine. AWD was just a conduit.

More info on the US Navy member who was once a prolific recruiter for Atomwaffen Division. This is the guy who recruited Denton (see thread). gizmodo.com/leak-exposes-u…

US neo-Nazi militant group "Atomwaffen Division" claims to have officially disbanded.

James Mason, their Godking, declares the disbandment in this audio message. Personally I'm not buying it. Just sounds like they're worried about the recent arrests.

> vocaroo.com/gh2w9tiizdF

By the way, I wouldn't take this as a genuine disbanding.

Mason mentions that the dissident faction of Atomwaffen might continue. As a colleague of mine mentioned, it's very interesting that he even talks about them in this *final message * ... Fishy.

The US Navy has kicked out one of its members due to the fact he was a recruiter for neo-Nazi militant group Atomwaffen Division. This is the guy who recruited the now jailed quasi-leader, John Cameron Denton—alias “Rape”.

More on this. gizmodo.com/leak-exposes-u…

Another British neo-Nazi O9A adherent, this one of the Atomwaffen UK wing, has been found to be a pedophile.

The esoteric neo-Nazi militant group Atomwaffen Division is trying to reform in Europe. They’re also trying to obtain firearms. belltower.news/far-right-terr…

Today it was announced that Atomwaffen will be designated a terrorist organisation here in the UK. The Atomwaffen founder once came here to visit National Action members. There was also a UK Atomwaffen cell called Sonnenkrieg Division. independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…

The de-facto leader of Atomwaffen Division was sentenced to prison today for three years. See thread:

The alleged leader of Sonnenkrieg Division (SKD), the UK wing of Atomwaffen Division. This guy even tried to fly to the US to meet Atomwaffen leaders and collaborators, including John Denton and James Mason. He was stopped at the airport.

Nazi down: The leader of the UK cell of Atomwaffen Division (known as SKD) has been jailed.

Andrew Dymock, the leader of the Atomwaffen Division's UK wing (Sonnenkrieg Division), has been sentenced to seven years in prison. He was convicted on 15 offences. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

This is potentially massive. It's been confirmed in court documents that Joshua Sutter, one of the Atomwaffen leaders (and one of the biggest O9A proponents), is an FBI informant.

More here:

Sutter runs "Tempel ov Blood" with his wife. ToB promotes pedophilia, psychotic violence, and rape, and has even led to Atomwaffen cells convincing young girls to self-harm based off of the ToB ideology. This group is run by an FBI informant.

Sutter runs Martinet Press, a publishing company that distributes and promotes occultist neo-nazi literature. They even promote the books of a convicted pedophile, all this whilst being paid $200,000+ from the FBI as an informant.

Martinet Press: martinetpress.wordpress.com

Here's some Tempel ov Blood footage. Sutter has been an FBI informant since 2003. This was filmed well after that.

Documents here: documentcloud.org/documents/2104…

The promotion of the Tempel ov Blood ideology (that of the Order of Nine Angles) has a direct connection to several murders. For example: bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-581…

The FBI was paying Sutter as he was doing this kind of shit. It would be interesting to know if the $200,000+ he was paid contributed directly to the promotion of this totalitarian occultist ideology...

Anyway, I don't really follow this story much now but Sutter being an informant was heavily rumoured to be true for years. Interesting to see it confirmed like this. Follow @awinston for more and get the documents here:

One more thing: The O9A killer from Canada uploaded a ritual video before he killed a Muslim man outside a mosque in 2020. The song is the O9A chant by Nameless Therein, who made Sutter / Tempel ov Blood a specific song when they were flush with FBI cash.

Khim down. Seven years in prison.

Here’s the full testimony transcript of Atomwaffen militant / O9A nexion leader (ToB) / FBI informant Joshua Sutter. documentcloud.org/documents/2200…

Former Atomwaffen leader John Denton claims from prison that he regrets not stopping the O9A satanic elements creeping into the org. Bullshit. Denton made O9A literature compulsory reading for Atomwaffen. My friend and colleague documents it all here:

What remains of Atomwaffen Division has cut ties with their neo-Nazi godking Jamed Mason. Atomwaffen are the ones who made him popular across the world, constantly ignoring the pedophile allegations against him to spread SIEGE neo-Nazism.

I think Mason is behind a new neo-Nazi satanist group named National Socialist Order of Nine Angles. Their site has a few articles, some written in Mason's voice imo. Here's their shitty logo.

Note: it uses the backwards 'esoteric Hitlerism' swastika as Atomwaffen used to.

Ah yeah. Looks like they're open about Mason's involvement now. This isn't Mason switching up his ideology, it's actually him reverting back to his true colours. He was heavily involved with far-right occultism in the 80s, alongside Boyd Rice (right pic).

More on the neo-Nazi / Boyd Rice / James Mason connection here in this article. Hilariously people still defend Rice as just an edgy artist blah blah. whomakesthenazis.blogspot.com/2010/10/just-s…

Brandon Russell speaking from prison. He was further radicalised inside (no surprise), but his plans to attack infrastructure have actually never deviated since the inception of AWD in 2015. Police found plans in his notebooks back then to do similar.
