There you go. Validating alerts from FBI that white supremacy is the worst terrorist threat in the US. Ignore at your own peril.
Russell was sentenced to five years in federal prison in 2018 after authorities found an explosive device and neo-Nazi materials during a search of his residence after his roommate killed their other two roommates. He admitted to being a member of the “Atomwaffen,” a neoNazi group that he founded and led. On his dresser, authorities found a framed picture of Timothy McVeigh.

So, what, he just got out and couldn’t wait to do stupid shit? 😂 >

Yes, Atomwaffen is perhaps the most zealous of the international Accelerationist Neo-Nazi groups. They have cells in North America, Europe, and Australia. They want to overthrow western governments and institute a worldwide ethnic cleansing. So yeah, not surprised a few years in jail didn’t turn him away from the violence required by his belief system. I am glad we are finally treating these people like the Al-Qaeda-level threat they are
Edit: I’m getting a lot of pushback citing that we are not in fact treating white supremacism like a threat on par with Al-Qaeda. This is absolutely true. I was being optimistic because at least it’s on one FBI guy’s radar. >

Well they didn't get Guantanamo level prison sentences, so not really there. But at least some effort is made against them >

Can't put citizens in Gitmo >

There were plenty of technicalities that could keep people there regardless of citizenship...that being said, I was referring to the length of time in prison. >

It's hard to put it at the same level as Islamic terrorist cells because its so decentralized. This guy started his own cell with three roommates (one of whom switched to Islam and killed the other two) so even if Atomwaffen is a larger international organization this guy and his friends have little to nothing to do with the larger organization. They're just following their ideal of Nazism. >


one of whom switched to Islam and killed the other two

Sounds like the trash took itself out. >

How are you going to have white power without electricity Sarah Beth? >

Nazis always think the dumbest shit is going to cause their fabled “Race-war.” I remember this story where a husband and wife Nazi team went into a restaurant, shot an off-duty cop, draped his body in a Nazi flag, and proclaimed to the terrified onlookers “This is the start of a race-war!” It, obviously, was not. Instead they were almost immediately killed after getting into a shootout with the police and their crime proved just as pointless as you can imagine. 
Nazis think every white person is just like them, but don’t have the balls to admit it. Because of that, they see society as being way more unstable than it actually is, and expect people will leap at the opportunity to genocide one another. It’s what they would do, after all. I guess when you’re a violent narcissist hyped up on your own stupid ideology, you can convince yourself of just about anything. >

I’m personally just tired of hearing , decade after decade, about the stupid race war that’s gonna start any minute now.  From the civil rights war in the streets, 70s Helter Skelter, Obama’s president now and gonna take our guns, Trumps president now and we’re taking back our country by a race war bullshit. >

Racists really want a race war so they don't have to see anyone but people like them. And in this country, it's mostly white people pushing for it.
They don't seem to grasp that even if they won, waded through that sea of blood, and somehow still had a functioning society -- they'd quickly learn not all whites are white enough or the wrong sort of white, and it'd just keep happening.
They want a world of clones of themselves. No disagreement, no confusion, nothing different, nothing new. The same food, the same movies, the same thoughts spoken by a thousand identical mouths to a thousand 100% agreeing ears, where literally the only differences allows are which regional sports team you follow. >


where literally the only differences allows are which regional sports team you follow.

If their successful race war were a movie, one of them side-eyeing another person's team shirt would be the thing at the end to set up the sequel. >

There’s a panel in the comic book Hellblazer where John Constantine is getting chased by a monster made up of football hooligans. He is positive he’s fucked then comments to them “ one of your tattoos says United, and the other Arsenal. What d’ye do on Saturdays, lads?”
He then sits back and lets the monster take care of itself. >

I live in Harford, and many of us call it "Ceciltuckey." When I was a kid there were rumors of Satan worshippers in Rising Sun, now I look back and think it was probably the KKK in the cornfields. Probably why the town is referred to as "Rising Scum." >

These people think nothing of using terrorism to cut off heat to millions of people during a deep freeze.  It's attempted murder as much as it is terrorism, because lots of old people would have died in the cold if their plans had been carried out.  And they better hope they don't have a homeowner who has experience a pipe burst on their jury; sacrificing homeowners and grandmas to make a political point is much more egregious than attempted vandalism or whatever.  These people need to pay.

The Florida guy, this isn't his first rodeo. He's going under the jail.
The woman, I just read a report saying she claimed she had a terminal illness and wanted to do something like this before she died, so any sentence might be academic, assuming that's the case.
And yeah, good on the feds for busting them. >

So… hurry her along, then? >

If she's terminally ill I'm sure that with the way our prison system treats people's medical conditions that they'll do just that. >

This has been a long standing white supremacist idea. Accelerationism is the idea that white supremacists need to accelerate the collapse of society to bring about the “inevitable” race wars that they want. I believe it stems largely from the Turner Diaries but I don’t remember. Basically one popular white supremacist book/media source told people to destroy power substations to accelerate the collapse of America around 30 years ago >

“Black people will collapse our society!” -1950s White Supremacies
decades go by and society still stands while also becoming more diverse “We need to collapse society because of black people!” -Todays White Supremacies >

If you pressed them on it, they would probably say black people have collapsed our society, and then ramble on about their jerkoff fantasy of what they think the '50s was like.  
I see so many "look at what they took from you" posts on twitter already.  They're really just trying to wake you up to the "reality" that it was the commies and blacks that stole your financial independence and chance at a comfortable future, instead of reagan and the GOP. >

The only thing that was "taken" from them was the ability to say the n word.
I mean, they can still say it, but now there's a 50/50 chance that doing so will get you fired and/or get your social media account banned. >

Yeah, but think of the consequences that came from that! Next they'll be forced to stop referring to trans people as trannies! It's the end of the world! >

Clendaniel was also involved with a trailer park stabbing in 2016. She's a real peach >


“It would probably permanently completely lay [Baltimore City] to waste if we could do that successfully,” she allegedly said on Jan. 29, according to a criminal complaint unsealed Monday.

Everyone thinks Maryland is uniformly blue, but a significant portion of Maryland is deep red and truly hates Baltimore, including MD's former governor Hogan. >


It's not just maryland. The internet makes it easy for these people to coordinate across state lines.

It's the double edged sword of the Internet. The Internet is great because it lets people discuss their interests over large distances. If my interest is building with LEGO, I can discuss this with people across America and around the world very easily. This can be good because it can help me with my hobby even if there isn't anyone near me interested in LEGO.
The flip side, though, is that if my interest was pushing white supremacy and attacking anyone on the left, I could find plenty of people who are interested in that as well. Then, we could collaborate and aid each other in pursuits a lot less wholesome than LEGO building.
Sadly, I don't know how you stop the latter without impacting the former - beyond having the FBI better monitor groups like these that spring up. It won't ever go away completely, but we need to get serious about taking down these groups as soon as they spring up and heavily prosecuting any crimes these groups engage in. >

Not possible, the right view these groups and their speech as protected political ideology and discourse. They are even fighting to protect violent rhetoric as political speech that should not be censored on YouTube and Facebook. This blows my mind. I would have expected them to claim it wasn't violent language instead of them claiming that such violent language is modern political discourse. >

And yet they don't see what a tell it is to claim that limiting the ability of people to proclaim violent and racist ideologies "unduly affects conservatives."
Well, they probably see, but don't much care. >

I'm confused, what is the point of taking down the power grid? The neo-nazis want anarchy? >

Some neo Nazis believe that they can trigger a race war by creating a large enough disaster.
These people may have also just wanted to shut down power to Baltimore, because they know more brown people live in Baltimore and they hate them >

So 9/11, covid, riots, threats of nuclear war didn't do it but knocking it the power for a day or two will? >

If these people could think clearly, they wouldn't be neo-Nazis >

Seriously. Disasters tend to bring people together, not motivate them to segregate based on skin color.
Sounds pretty fucking stupid to me, but like you said...
nEo-nAzIs.
When I first heard this was a thing, I didn't believe it, because there's no way those circumstances would lead to race war. That's just.... SO dumb.
God damn dork ass losers >

Imagine they knock out power, and all they see is all the people of all colours, sitting together by BBQs and campfires, trying to take care of each other and make it through the day.
Maybe if one of them sat by the fire by a black family and ate some ribs with them, they'll learn something about life. >


Clendaniel was previously arrested in a string of robberies in 2016 in Cecil County, in which police said she wielded a machete and made off with cash and cigarettes. Court records indicate she received a sentence of nine years, and three years of probation. Prior to that, she received three years in jail, while pregnant, for robbing a convenience store where she had worked four days earlier until she was fired.

You’re trying to tell me a hateful asshole who is racist also has a history of doing crimes?
I mean that’s just so unlikely! >

I’m thinking we have too many Nazis again. Maybe it’s time to all get together and kick the everloving shit out of all the Nazis just like last time?
Also, what is it with Nazis and Confederates not understanding when they’ve lost? Were Atlanta and Dresden not clear? >

The power grid attacks have lead to a lot of conservative pearl clutching. But like most things, conservatives are the culprits. 
It’s like they shit on the floor and then cry there is shit on the floor. 
The thought process is on the same level as a toddler. >

I've seriously heard someone claim that these attacks were caused by "Muslims that Joe Biden is letting cross the border".  I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume this person isn't a Muslim who sneaked in from Mexico.
That person gets all their so-called 'news' from The Blaze, natch. >

Why do nazis hate having power? >

Because last time they had any power their leader blew his brains out. >

Well done >

Call this what it is, radical right-wing terrorism. >

Alright, it's time that LE stopped playing with these people and started arresting them like the organized criminals that they are >

What even was the point of such an attack? They'd knock out power to everyone in the area regardless of race so I don't get what they thought they'd get out of it for their "cause." Was the "terminal disease" she thought she had stupidity? Because she definitely has that.
Wasn't the US worried about a potential terrorist attack on the power grid causing a cascading failure back in the mid 2000s after a major blackout in the Northeastern US and parts of Canada? I guess no one actually bothered protecting our power grid from such attacks like the government said they would since these two yokels were going to do it and there've been a few successful substation attacks this year. Can we please work on fixing this massive vulnerability now? Too many different groups (neo nazis, Islamic terrorists, Russia, China, etc.) would love to take advantage of this simple way to leave thousands or millions of people without power, and now they all know how easy it is to do. >

It's from a book called The Turner diaries. A lot of these groups feel the book is basically a step by step guide for a white revolution, including Timothy McVeigh, who did the bombing right around the same time as the events in the book, which just so happened to align with increased gun control laws being passed, and massive race-based riots, just like in the book. Those coincidences were enough to really cement the book as being prophetic to a lot of these racists. Nothing is original with these people. >

On a scale to 1-100..  how Maga do you think they are?... >

2 billion. >

Igorant bastards think they're bringing on The Turner Diaries by taking pot shots and power transformers.

We had some pretty extended periods without power here in parts of California thanks to PG&E's bullshit, and Texas is dealing with their own power issues. So far, I haven't heard of any race wars breaking out. Not sure how exactly these Nazi fucks think taking out a handful of substations would trigger societal collapse and an all-out race war. >

It’s high time we start treating Nazis the way we treated middle eastern people after 9/11… only this time it will be justified. >

Wow. And here I thought it was the drag queen antifas who were responsible. Well I’m sure the FBI will give them a serious finger wagging and tell them to be more careful not to get caught next time. >

I see she used to live in Cecil County aka Ceciltucky where she was arrested for a string of robberies while wielding a machete? Par for the course. >

1) Attack sub stations to shut down power. 
2) Keep attacking sub stations until locals go without power for at least 6 months. 
3) ??????
4) Race war triggered!!! >

Natzis must hate electricity? >

Call it what it is; they planned domestic terrorism. >

My sheer horror at the rise of extremism in America is tempered only by the apparent stupidity of modern extremists, who think that plinking an energy substation with small arms is gonna lead to catastrophic destruction of the local power grid.
I also find a bit of solace in learning that most of these people have criminal records for the very type of behavior they chastise, like robbery and theft, in this woman's case. I remember it being a common enough theme to notice, with some of these other corkscrews. >

You guys remember when conservatives were saying it wasn’t them doing this? >

When are we going to start taking care of our far-right terrorist problem? >

Many very enlightened Redditors had insisted to me this was the work of "Antifa," how in the world could it have been the neo-Nazi scum they keep defending? /s >

If it was an Islamic extremist  trying to blow up American infrastructure, he'd go to Gitmo for life, probably.
In this case, she'll get a few years, and the GOP won't say a peep about it. I'll take it back if any of them condemns this in even the most bland terms. >

Right wing terrorism they keep saying doesn't exist. >

These people never think of the little boy on a home ventilator that will die without it,  the soup kitchen with the ovens that feeds the homeless, or the woman taking care of her elderly parents who uses electronic medical equipment to care for them. This fuck the government and society thing never takes into account the nice, innocent people you're going to endanger with your idiocy. >

You're wrong, my friend. Your first mistake was believing they would care if they knew.
They do think about those people, and they say they deserve to die. Nazis worship physical strength and believe in a stark contrast in people divided into predators and prey. >

I’m not sure it’s so much that they think they deserve to die (the white ones, anyway). I think they want people to be mad about the innocent people dying, so they riot and the race war begins. It’s cruel and stupid. >

The real Nazis started systematically killing disabled white Germans of impeccable ancestry long before they killed Jews, Romani and LGBTQ people. If these clowns are anything like the real Nazis, they would think the disabled dying to be a bonus. >

Yep. Aktion T4, the murder-the-disabled campaign, started two years before the Wannsee Conference that planned the Final Solution. >

It's always the people you most expect. >

“Neo” seems like a superfluous word at this point. No one is assuming that there’s still 101 year old former SS officers leading this shit. >

This is becoming more common and people still think nazis aren't a problem >

But there are good people on both sides...smh >

This is what happens when you let confirmed Nazis off the hook. >

Weird how it’s only Republicans doing this stuff >

If these people are domestic terrorists and are attacked their own country, can’t other Americans defend their own land? 
What would happen if a group of people got wind of a plot to destroy a substation and defended it? 
Isn’t that what your gun laws are for? >

Why would people do that instead of calling the police for that? Who wants to die defending a power substation? The reason those are even targeted is because they have no guards and are often in remote areas where no one will catch them >


Who wants to die defending a power substation? 

You're asking a rational question but the person asking is asking more about people who want to use the idea of defending a substation as a reason to get to legally kill someone. 
They're probably asking about it as a way to point out the ridiculous idea that gun nutters claim they have to keep their gun to protect the country from tyranny but then never defend it against right wing terrorists because they agree with them ideologically. >

Is there some kind of conservative bucket list going around?

Vote Trump.
Watch as much Tucker Carlson/Fox News as possible.
Storm US Capitol.
Be racist.
Disrupt drag events. 
Destroy electrical substations. 

I'm sure there's more; feel free to remind us. >

These are a type, known by the name "asshole." They would destroy infrastructure but then, if injured, would run to a hospital that is supplied by that infrastructure. They'd run there, like an asshole, and start whining about their injury and need to be treated when there is no electrical power. 
These are a type that cannot help doing what they do because they cannot see three inches beyond their own vanity. No fucking way that they'd do x then die when services cannot be obtained. These are a consumer who thinks they aren't. >
