US neo-Nazi terror group 'The Base' is hiring: aims to revive activities ahead of election

[essentialsaltes]

Rinaldo Nazzaro, 51, a former Pentagon contractor and analyst at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) turned founder of the Base, wrote on his personal Telegram account that he’s seeking a stateside leader for his organization and is willing to pay them a salary of up to $1,200 a month.

The Russia-based leader ... is not known to have set foot in the US in years. With the recent surge in racially motivated riots in the United Kingdom, authorities across the west have become increasingly concerned with Russian sponsorship of far-right extremists.

The Base was considered a domestic terrorism threat in the lead up to the 2020 presidential election campaign. The group adheres to the principles of accelerationism; a hyper violent political doctrine calling on followers to hasten the collapse of society through acts of terrorism.

A 2020 Guardian investigation revealed Nazzaro had purchased several acres of undeveloped land near Republic, Washington, that he intended to use as a training ground for the Base. His latest job listing asks for a candidate who preferably lives near Republic and that land.

“Neo-Nazi accelerationist groups are mainly keeping a low profile,” he said. “Their focus on promoting chaos raises the possibility that they will encourage violence or commit acts of intimidation before the election.”

Nazzaro, who is married to a Russian national and is believed to be living in St Petersburg, has long faced allegations from inside the Base and elsewhere that he is a Russian intelligence asset. In a 2020 appearance on Russian television, he tried to dispel those rumors, claiming “I’ve never had any contact with any Russian security services” and that he is a misunderstood family man.

I love how these neo-Nazi nerds think that if their "accelerationism" policy actually works and everything collapses, they'll just be able to swoop in and take control of everything. You dorks own some compound in an underdeveloped part of rural Washington state -- how exactly does that transfer over to taking over major cities anywhere? Dumb. I'll be looking forward to when they and their stupid compound get dismantled by some inside informant for the FBI or whatever. Racist losers cannot build anything, and this is all a bunch of Turner Diaries LARPing by idiots with stupid goals.

Good to see someone hiring. It'll help keep those job numbers up.

I agree....but are they any worse than the woke BLM hordes larping above ground in Seattle at CHAZ? 3 people died.

Anarchy is a fetish for losers...I agree. Anyone unable to make it in a structured functional society isn't going to make it in a full blown anarchy.

Neo-Nazi group the Base found a safe space to recruit Americans: the Russian internet​

The move is part of an ongoing theme among the far right when western apps remove or moderate their accounts

The video, meant to entice Americans to join its ranks, isn’t on YouTube or even a social media site most people know. Instead, it’s being hosted on Rutube, a Russian-government-sponsored knockoff.

In a September announcement on SimpleX, a newly adopted encrypted chat service for some far-right extremists, the Base told its recruits to consume their content via its VK account, the Russian version of Facebook, or its Rutube channel.

And in a series of September and October VK posts where it describes the “process for joining the Base in [the] USA”, the group also curiously dropped a new email with a Mail.Ru address – the email provider of a well-known ally of the Russian president, Vladimir Putin. The Base had previously operated a Proton Mail account (an email company based in Switzerland) as its point of contact.

I wonder who they be getting out the vote for? I have noticed that Trump does very well with groups like this one. Some groups or I would prefer labeling them as "cells" are perfectly willing to implore violent methods to overturn or disregard a legal election. This time, they will be more organized.

I was reading another thread on CF that said Trump's team is already filing lawsuits and making preparations to overturn a legitimate election.

I did a quick Google Search on the topic and found this on Politico.com

“No one knows exactly what Trump’s attack on the electoral system will be in 2024,” said Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), a member of the Jan. 6 select committee. “What will he do this time?”

The answer, according to lawmakers, congressional investigators, party operatives, election officials and constitutional law experts, goes something like this:

— He will deepen distrust in the election results by making unsupported or hyperbolic claims of widespread voter fraud and mounting longshot lawsuits challenging enough ballots to flip the outcome in key states.

Alleged former members of neo-Nazi accelerationist group claim its leader is Russian spy​

Allegation against Rinaldo Nazzaro, founder of the Base, could shed new meaning on group’s efforts inside Ukraine

A website circulating on far-right Telegram channels is claiming to speak on behalf of former members of the Base and said it was “exposing” the group for what it really is: the cutout of Russia’s federal intelligence agency, the FSB.

The members allege that they were always suspicious of Nazzaro’s behavior and worried about who his handlers really were.

“Things started becoming really SUS when a few members could see him texting on the phone in Russian, in a fluent/at least a good level as he was writing fast and seemingly naturally, all of that alone led to the belief that [Nazzaro] might be a Russian federal asset, and at that time it was already obvious that he was flying to Russia back and forth.”
