He will be extradited to the US for planning and soliciting a mass casualty attack in New York City from an undercover law enforcement employee whom Chkhikvishvili believed was a prospective MKY recruit.

New for the @Guardian.

Thanks in large part to @SCResearchClub's digging on Clockwork Crew, I was able to identify several of the group's hardcore members, including Marines, military veterans & boneheads from the violent Golden State Skinheads

Mohammed Waada (that's right) is a Marine Corps Lance Corporal out of Camp Pendleton, currently serving time in the brig on a court martial for extremism

FBI internal records:
-"sizeable percentage" of bureau employees were "sympathetic" to J6 rioters
-Agents & analysts equated J6 to 2020 BLM protests -Black agents wouldn't volunteer for SWAT for fear of other agents not backing them in lethal situations vault.fbi.gov/@@dvpdffiles/f… For context: Paul Abbate (recipient of this email) is now the deputy director of the FBI and has been since February 2021. The Bureau's leadership fully understands how deep this radicalization runs in their rank & file fbi.gov/about/leadersh…

A decade ago, OPD raided Occupy Oakland before dawn, leading to violent clashes w/OO as demonstrators attempted to retake the plaza. USMC vet Scott Olsen was wounded by a "less-lethal" round. The raid had massive consequences. My look back @Oaklandside oaklandside.org/2021/10/25/10-… The raid led to 105 arrests, as documented in this retrospective thread by @leftinthebay. Most were made in the AM & an afternoon march that clashed w/OPD riot cops on Washington Street. Less lethals & tear gas were fired indiscriminately that night

Remarkable filing in the case of high-level Atomwaffen member Kaleb Cole outs Joshua Caleb Sutter, the publisher of Martinet Press (Iron Gates, Liber 333, Bluebird), AWD member & a key figure in the O9A Tempel ov Blood, as an FBI informant. Since '03 documentcloud.org/documents/2104… This is a motion to suppress evidence from a search warrant served at the Texas house where Cole (known as "Khimaere" in AWD) moved to with John Cameron Denton & other AWD after he came under too much law enforcement pressure in the PNW. For background: thedailybeast.com/neo-nazi-group…

Breaking: John Cameron Denton, one of the Atomwaffen Division's leadership cell until his arrest early last year, has been sentenced to 41 months in federal prison by Judge Liam O'Grady this morning.

Denton’s identity was first revealed in this February 2018 investigation. He targeted ProPublica and the independent reporters on the project as retaliation propublica.org/article/atomwa…

This whiffs entirely on domestic dissatisfaction with Macron's Presidency, manifested in intense crackdowns on protesters & the press (see recent attempts to outlaw publishing photos of police)

Macron ironically is using Erdogan's distraction tactic to good effect here

Yes Laicite. Yes France discriminates against Muslims. But by externalizing the critique - and by playing into it - the NYT & WaPo harden pre-existing French perceptions of the US. And why, frankly, would they care what Americans think of them after the past 4 years+2 terms of W?

Since May 28, NYPD's Strategic Response Group - an anti-terrorism, anti-protest unit created by Bill Bratton in 2015 during the 1st BLM cycle - has been front & center at the worst instances of violence & mass arrests against protesters. Me for @theappeal theappeal.org/nypd-srg-misco… The past 5 months in New York City have stood out for the sheer number of people arrested by NYPD, the imposition of a citywide curfew, mass arrests of people gathered for First Amendment activity, kettles and complete impunity for NYPD's actions

Hearing from sources that John Cameron Denton (AKA "Rape", Atomwaffen's erstwhile #1, has been arrested in Texas. More TK - here's backstory about Denton & the rest of AWD's leadership core propublica.org/article/atomwa… Denton has been arrested by feds in Texas for a SWATTing conspiracy. "Denton allegedly stated that he used a voice changer when he made swatting calls, and allegedly admitted that he swatted the offices of ProPublica and the investigative journalist." justice.gov/usao-edva/pr/f…

New development in the FBI's Atomwaffen Division investigation: Aiden Bruce-Umbaugh, a WA cell member who recently traveled to Eastern Europe with Kaleb Cole, is charged w/fed firearms violations after being pulled over on 11/4 in North Texas by local cops documentcloud.org/documents/6549… Bruce-Umbaugh & Cole were in possession of 2 AR-15s, an AK-47 & a 9mm pistol when pulled over by Garza Cty Sheriffs deputies. Both were dressed in "combat/tactical attire," & a large knife was visible in the center console of a 2000 Ford Focus with WA plates
