Alleged neo-Nazi ‘murder cult’ leader accused of plot to poison children​

The Georgian national was charged with scheming to have an associate dress up as Santa to hand out poisoned candy to Jewish and minority children in Brooklyn.

Michail Chkhikvishvili, a Georgian national in his early 20s who goes by the alias “Commander Butcher,” was indicted on four charges, the Justice Department said in a statement on Tuesday, including the transmission of threatening communications and conspiracy to solicit hate crimes and acts of mass violence.

He is alleged to be the leader of a group known as the Maniac Murder Cult, a violent international extremist outfit that prosecutors say “adheres to a neo-Nazi accelerationist ideology and promotes violence and violent acts against racial minorities, the Jewish community and other groups it deems ‘undesirables.’”

According to court documents filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, he was arrested in Moldova on July 6 under an Interpol order after trying to recruit an undercover law enforcement officer to join the group and commit acts of violence, including arson and bombings.

In electronic correspondence with the [undercover officer], who was not identified in court documents, Chkhikvishvili later suggested carrying out the plan at another time, on “some Jewish holiday” at “Jewish schools full of kids.”

[In his manifesto] he encourages others to commit acts meant to sow terror — specifically within the United States — and admits to committing such acts himself.

Agreed. This is totally awful. Now Christmas is getting ruined by racists. We need to stop neo-Nazism as soon as possible as a world. @essentialsaltes , I know not everyone here is Christian, but we should pray for the safety of everyone and for the end of this extremism.

For reference, Georgia is in Western Asia, located near Russia, Iran and Turkey.

Why do villains never recognize their “role”?
If one’s “desired state of the universe“ can only be achieved by poisoning children, one’s “desired state” is invalid on its face.

I did, cos geography was one of my favorite subjects as a teenager a decade ago. Just trying to help folks who have only heard of Georgia (US state) instead of Georgia (Asian country), also known as Sakartvelo.

Accused neo-Nazi cult leader extradited to US, as DOJ alleges ties to deadly Nashville school shooting​

The alleged leader of a neo-Nazi cult based overseas has been extradited to the United States and accused of "multiple senseless killings" around the world, including the shooting at Antioch High School in Nashville earlier this year that left one student dead and another injured, according to the Justice Department.

Michail Chkhikvishvili, a Georgian national arrested in Moldova last year, was arraigned Friday in U.S. federal court in Brooklyn, the DOJ said.

... DOJ said Chkhikvishvili – who allegedly also goes by the moniker "Commander Butcher" – distributed a self-authored "Hater's Handbook" encouraging readers to commit school shootings and other mass "terror attacks," providing suggested methods and strategies.

He also expressed violent hatred toward Jews and used antisemitic tropes and conspiracy theories to express his views, according to the sources. Henderson appeared to support neo-Nazi accelerationist and violent incel beliefs and expressed a desire to see genocide committed against racial and religious minorities, according to sources.
Henderson's social media presence also shows he may have been in contact with 15-year-old Natalie Rupnow, who carried out a shooting at the Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin, last month, according to law enforcement sources.
