Atomwaffen Division, in particular, wanted members inside the military - specifically for the purposes of training in things like explosives (among others), and stealing arms and equipment.

(1/2)
One example (only one) of Atomwaffen's Nazi military infiltrators:

David Cole Tarkington.
AWD Recruiter.

Navy, Strike Fighter Squadron VFA-41.
Guess what state he was stationed in.

Go ahead, just guess.
You guessed it. Tarkington was at Naval Air Station Lemoore - in California.

You know prolific his Nazi recruitment efforts for Atomwaffen must have been? I'll put it this way:

The Navy kicked him out. They actually DID something.

You're going to want to read this.

Excerpt from the transcript of what Devon Arthurs told police interrogators about military training & targets in 2017 - after his arrest for the Tampa double murder at the house he shared with Atomwaffen founder Brandon Russell:
I'm going to Tweet the relevant selections from that 2017 police interrogation transcript out for you...

Just to drive the military point home a bit more.
"[Atomwaffen] were planning bombings and stuff like that on, on countless people. They were planning to kill civilian life…[targeting] power lines, nuclear reactors, synagogues…. They have a guy in the U.S. Army go, then re-enlisted specifically for the group."

-Arthurs, 2017
"He re-enlisted specifically for [Atomwaffen] to go into his ... supply room and steal stuff. Like, steal night-vision goggles. We have guys in the American military that literally would go to, go to, like, bases and steal huge amounts of equipment."

-Arthurs, 2017
Atomwaffen is FAR from the only Neo Nazi group to do things like this [infiltrate the military / law enforcement / steal military equipment, stockpile explosives, etc.].

It's an old phenomenon.

AWD just had a disproportionate number of them.

tcf.org/content/commen…
There's a whole lot of material on AWD and military guys alone, but I don't have time to get deep into that now.

I'll just mention a couple busts related to them in recent years that seem...

...kinda sorta maybe perhaps oh who knows relevant (ish)
Brandon Russell (AWD founder):

- National Guard
- studied nuclear physics

Found in his bedroom:
- hexamethylene triperoxide diamine (Al Qaeda uses it)
- nitromethane and ammonium nitrate (OKC, y'all)
- thorium and americium (radioactive - because why not)
AWD's Jarrett Smith

- Specialist, US Army (tactical / combat training)
- Tried to fight with the Azov Battalion in Ukraine

Pled guilty in 2020 to:
- disseminating info on how to build explosives and weapons of mass destruction (etc)

npr.org/2019/09/23/763…
AWD's Liam Collins, Justin Germanson, Paul Kryscuk, and Jordan Duncan

- US Marines & ex-Marine defense contractor
- Stationed at Camp Lejeune
- recruited more marines for Atomwaffen

2020:
- charged with manufacturing and trafficking firearms
- facing 20 years in prison
There's more where that came from, but I have to run.

Anyway, when it comes to the C-4 theft at Twenty Nine Palms...

There are loads of Neo Nazi groups with active-duty military members stealing weapons from their bases for y'all to look into.

Bye.

Christian Identity Boomer Nazis on Facebook
This dude posted a letter he wrote to a local elected official.

Publicly.

Including. His. Address.
Anyway, that’s enough Army of God Facebook for today.

I know some of you trying to knock down Telegram’s Neo Nazi channels mean well, but...

You’re not helping.
“Deplatforming works.” Well, yes.

But not sloppily applied, whole-scale, to minuscule platforms where content was followed basically only by already active extremists and ... the people fighting them.

Then all you’re do is hurt your own “side” in a misguided vanity campaign.
Anyway, crazy hectic day, on and in between deadlines, took a five minute break and found that a big pile of data with valuable, time-sensitive Intel had... evaporated because of a ban.

Well done.

Back to work with this migraine.

"Ms. Entropy, why should we care about incentivizing Nazi disengagement? Who cares; they were Nazis?!"

Maybe ask me again after I finish securing a host for...the ENTIRE ARCHIVE OF FASCIST FORGE data someone just leaked to me.

Until then, I'll be busy.
In case you don't know - Ironmarch was the transnational Internet forum that gave birth to Atomwaffen Divison and its many Nazi spawns.

Fascist Forge was Ironmarch's sequel once the latter was knocked down.

Treasure trove, y'all.

Incentivizing disengagement is GOOD.
I do hope the Siege dorks are nervous - you should be!

Fascist Forge had a LOOOOOOOOOOOOT of great info; thanks for the AMAZING INTRO QUESTIONNAIRES!

Once I've got the host (in process) fully secured, I'll let you know ASAP.

Help Nazis leave.
That helps us all.

Goodnight!

Quick thread

For organizations with employees targeted or threatened by neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other potpourri baskets filled with related and assorted violent extremists

[speaking from experience]
1) If you hire a person who works on neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other assorted violent extremists, here's the thing:

They WILL be targeted and threatened with violence - unless they're terrible at the job you hired them for.

If you won't support them, don't hire them.
2) If you want the "good PR" that comes with high-profile experts on neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and assorted violent extremists, you need to realize:

Your institution asked them to risk their lives.

That implies you will provide support and security - not penalties.

This commentary was posted yesterday.

10 military personnel have reached out with their own accounts of witnessing white supremacist mobilization in the armed forces.

Several have recounted the retribution they faced for attempting to pursue or undertake investigations.

10.
I've also heard from some outraged right-wing military and law enforcement personnel.

So it's worth briefly responding to them here.

White supremacist mainstreaming and infiltration, after all, impacts them most directly.
1) White supremacist infiltration poses the most immediate threat to fellow military and law enforcement personnel.

2) This hurts the credibility of everyone in the fields.

3) WS actors are most dangerous to them, too. They infiltrate to subvert, not support, the state.
