Guardian: As US gov stops pursuing white nationalists, neo-Nazi group increases activity thru-out country. Stated goal: seize territory for white homeland. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/dec/22/neo-nazi-terror-the-base

excerpts:
"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 Russian email address and has not ceased since the 2020 FBI crackdown against it.

"'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.”

NPR: "Fuentes has built an online following promoting many white nationalist and extremist ideas, including Holocaust denial. He's also used violent and degrading rhetoric about women.

"Nick Fuentes has suggested that a lot of women want to be raped, claimed that Jim Crow segregation laws were better for Black Americans and expressed admiration for Hitler, among other things.

"Kevin Roberts, the head of the influential think tank The Heritage Foundation, defended Tucker Carlson."

Military lawyer ousted from immigration bench after defying Trump deportation push

A U.S. Army Reserve lawyer detailed as a federal immigration judge has been fired barely a month into the job after granting asylum at a high rate out of step with the Trump administration’s mass deportation goals. Christopher Day began hearing cases in late October as a temporary judge at the immigration court in Annandale, Virginia. He was fired around Dec. 2, according to the National Association of Immigration Judges. It wasn't made public why Day was fired. But federal data from November shows he ruled on asylum cases in ways at odds with the Trump administration’s stated goals.

House passes defense bill to set Pentagon budget, raise troop pay

The House votes to pass a sweeping defense policy bill that authorizes $900 billion in military programs. The bill includes a pay raise for troops and an overhaul of how the Department of Defense buys weapons. It comes at a time of increasing friction between the Republican-controlled Congress and how President Donald Trump’s administration has handled the military. The White House has signaled “strong support” for the must-pass legislation and says it is in line with Trump’s national security agenda. Yet tucked into the over-3,000-page bill are several measures that push back on the Department of Defense.

Our freedoms are core to what it means to be American.

But today, a wealthy, well-connected few are lobbying to pass laws to destroy our freedoms. We urge @potus @JoeBiden to protect our reproductive freedoms by ensuring the #StateOfDemocracy is strong!

"New American would publish numerous fearmongering articles that argued that accepting science and vaccines meant accepting communism and socialism.

"It was part of the newly emerging white supremacist campaign launched by the Birchers to deal with 'government overreach.'"

"In 1999, Joseph C. Cyrulik, a military analyst, published an article in an Army journal entitled 'Asymmetric Warfare and the Threat to the American Homeland':

"'By killing and wounding people, damaging and destroying their homes and communities, disrupting their jobs and economic livelihoods and undermining their confidence and sense of security, an enemy can inflict pain to the point that the people demand a change in the government’s policies.

"'Used at the right time and place . . . an attack could destroy the people’s faith in their government, in their military, and in themselves. It could be a decisive attack against the political will of an entire populace.'"
