Neo-Nazi terror group steps up US operations as FBI pulls back

Online activity shows the Base, headed by alleged Russian asset Rinaldo Nazzaro, sees US and Ukraine as key centers

The Guardian

Amid high-profile arrests in its Spanish cell,
the American-born and designated neo-Nazi terrorist group
the Base
– once a major preoccupation of FBI counter-terrorism efforts
– has all but faded from US headlines.

🔥But a flurry of online activities shows the group is still active stateside
and considers the US an operational nerve center.

Headed by #Rinaldo #Nazzaro,
an ex-Pentagon contractor turned alleged Russian intelligence asset,
#the #Base has been busy of late pursuing European expansion:
besides its heavily armed members in Spain,
its Ukrainian wing is linked to multiple acts of terrorism inside of the country
and claimed the high-profile July assassination of an intelligence officer in Kyiv.

But the Base’s online footprint also paints a picture of a more careful, yet active, American presence:
💥videos from November show masked men shooting military-style rifles and pistols in what they claim is an Appalachian forest.

Another June photo, from the same #Appalachian cell, shows five armed men in skull masks, holding rifles and brandishing the Base’s black flag,
while a cell from the #mid-#Atlantic captures three members performing “sieg heil” salutes,
with another from the #midwest showing two men firing pistols.

In the shifting political climate of the second Trump administration,
where the FBI has openly rerouted resources away from investigations of far-right extremists,
🔥the Base appears free to organize and prepare for their stated objective of fomenting an armed insurgency against the US government.

At the same time, its recruitment has continued to funnel through a Russia email address
and has not ceased since the 2020 FBI crackdown against it.

Nazzaro has also matched this new American law enforcement environment with emboldened rhetoric.
“Our long-term strategic goal is to accomplish something similar to what al-Qaida and IS accomplished in Syria,”
bragged Nazzaro in an audio recording he released in early December over a Russian-controlled app, reviewed by the Guardian.

“Form an organized,
armed insurgency
to take and hold territory.
And establish a
white homeland
which we control and govern

Georg Friedrich Händel: Rinaldo (1731)

Having barely arrived in London, Handel laid the foundations for his unprecedented operatic career in 1711 with the magic opera Rinaldo. In addition to the novel Italian music, the fantastic plot, which exploited all the possibilities of baroque theatre, also met with enthusiasm from the audience: love,
