Nah bro my gf's grandpa says it is the same dudes that helped with 9/11. He knows his stuff. /s
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 suprematism 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 Guantanamo >

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. >

Yeah, I suspect that the concept of unified whiteness would break down real fast if these sorts ever got their way.  You wouldn't be "white" anymore, you'd be Polish, Irish, Italian, Greek, Spanish, whatever.  Then you'd be the real reason there's problems in the world, then you'd find yourself being the undesirable. 
This sort of ideology can't survive without an outgroup to hate and blame.  It will always be someone. >

I like to point out that in Benjamin Franklin's time, "white" did not include Germans or Swedish people:

Which leads me to add one Remark: That the Number of purely white People in the World is proportionably very small. All Africa is black or tawny. Asia chiefly tawny. America (exclusive of the new Comers) wholly so. And in Europe, the Spaniards, Italians, French, Russians and Swedes, are generally of what we call a swarthy Complexion; as are the Germans also, the Saxons only excepted, who with the English, make the principal Body of White People on the Face of the Earth.

Just imagine who will get to join the "white people club" in the next two hundred years. >

a few years ago. some guy posted on reddit that they wanted to be convinced that their racism is wrong. 
my reply was basically tell them that no one needs to try to convince him or waste time arguing. the beliefs he has now aren't exactly the same as his grand parents. his grand kids aren't going to hold the same beliefs as him either, it will be different in some way and he can't control that. 
couple that with human nature liking to fuck what they see as exotic or different, its a sure thing that there will be more mixing of races and cultures as the generations progress. 
his idea of racial purity is just going to die out because basic biology and dynamic values are working against him. >

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." >

After all, the state often does it for people who DON’T want to be murdered, so obliging people who DO want to die should be a breeze! /s >

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 >

Indeed. The working theory, as far as I understand it, is that want to actually cause mass unrest. When the power goes out for a week or so, it brings communities together and people help each other. But what if it goes out for a month? Two months? Six months? Then they are banking on the worst of our human nature coming to the surface, and people will start enacting violence and murders against each other in an effort to get basic supplies. That will dovetail into a "race war", as minorities and whites will pair off against each other in communities across the country. As this unrest unfolds, these perpetrators seize power amidst the chaos by invading government institutions that are buckling under the weight of the sheer amount of emergencies there are to handle.
Eventually these people think they will "rise to the top" of it all, seizing power by force and ushering in the mass execution of their opponents. >

Their plan vastly underestimates the resiliency of the US military/govt. if shtf in this country the military would drop the hammer hard. Sure, the nazis might get a little resistance going with their gangs inside the military, but that would be crushed within days. >

I agree they are likely underestimating the response, but I also don't think it would be as swift or efficient as you are painting it, for a number of reasons:
1) A solid chunk of police enforcement and military have been infiltrated by sympathizers
2) As a result, we could see the military actually split and fracture. It wouldn't take but a few key positions to really create a breakdown in the chain of command
3) Our military isn't very effective at urban ground tactics, as demonstrated by the numerous clusterfucks we've been involved in (Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan). And that was without having to take into account American lives in the mix of it all. All of our great big equipment wouldn't be very effective or useful when you need precision, instead of carpet bombing whole areas
Unfortunately, I would not be placing my bets on the military being an effective deterrent if these domestic terrorists brought it to that level. >


that they more or less just described - in a public news article - a viable way of planning attacks that "would cause a 'cascading failure' of the power grid"

Seriously. They gave the exact locations! Fuck I hate modern journalism. >


“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 hope DOJ doesn't let them plead out to something minor; they should be made an example of.
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.
And good job by law enforcement catching them before they could act. >

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? >

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 >


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?

Wow the feds have finally decided to start acting against domestic terrorists? >

They've always been acting against them, they just try to keep shit like this quiet, because the less these people suspect, the more they can catch them with actual damning evidence. 
It's why all the conservative subreddits and alt-Right media sites always talk about "glowies" (undercover federal agents). They are already paranoid, so they gotta tip toe around these shit heads... >

Legal action is a deterrent, letting them do bigger and bigger crimes only emboldens them
They've had 2-300 years to infiltrate and dismantle these groups, do they really have to keep the kid's gloves on to avoid disturbing them? >

It's not kids gloves. It's strategy. It's the same way they deal with large gangs and other organized crime groups. 
The more public and explosive the arrests, the quieter these groups get.
Also, it's not like these groups are committing crimes every single day. Legally they can't do anything to them unless they commit a crime, or they have sufficient evidence to suggest a crime is going to be committed. It's a huge legal conundrum they have to play footsies with. >

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

He admitted to being a member of the “Atomwaffen,” a neoNazi group that he founded and led.

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.

There was a Muslim man who did this on a solar substation in Las Vegas a while back. He drove across state lines to drive his car into the substation and set then set it on fire with gasoline. GOP or traditional media were very silent about it >

No they don't. That's why they thought it'd work >

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. >

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.

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. >

In before Nazi =Socalist = Liberal >

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. >

At what point are they gonna start putting the term domestic terrorist in these titles. It's like they're bending over backwards to go as easy on these jackasses as possible. >

There you go. Validating alerts from FBI that white supremacy is the worst terrorist threat in the US. Ignore at your own peril. >

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. >

so they caught a terrorist send her to gitmo. >

When I see what those a-holes are doing in the name of White Supremacy, kinda makes me wonder. None of them are exactly what you’d expect if you came to Earth and were searching for such as that. First off, they’d probably shoot you. You had appearance and language issues. Can’t have that. >

Ok, so… not a coordinated antifa plot, but instead was yet another lone wolf with mental health issues (damn Biden for not doing enough)? >
