“Strong traces of right-wing extremism” in activity of Kraków terrorist, says justice minister – #terror

Poland’s justice minister, Waldemar Żurek, says that investigators have so far found “very strong traces of right-wing extremism” in the activity of Michał Oksiński, the man who carried out Saturday’s mass terrorist shooting in Kraków that left six people dead. The perpetrator’s search history included websites relating to Anders Breivik, the Norwegian far-right terrorist who killed 77 people during two attacks in 2011. Żurek’s comments come amid intense debate and dispute in Poland over the beliefs and motives of Oksiński, who on Monday died from the injuries he sustained during a shootout with police that brought his rampage to an end. (…) “There are very strong traces of right-wing extremism. I can already confirm some information because the services have access to the perpetrator’s computer. Indeed, visits to websites related to Anders Breivik are visible.” Żurek also pointed to the fact that, as prosecutors announced on Sunday, a so-called Gadsden flag (showing a snake above the words “Don’t tread on me”) had been found in Oksiński’s home. (…) Although the National Prosecutor’s Office emphasised that the flag is not associated with any one ideology or organisation, Żurek noted that it was displayed during the attack on the United States Capitol by supporters of Donald Trump in 2021. “We know well that during the attack on the Capitol, there were quite a few of these flags among far-right groups in the United States,” said the minister. “This flag [in Oksiński’s home] also sends a signal to the security services and the prosecutor’s office.” Żurek added that a search of the perpetrator’s workplace had also identified “symbolism there that could point to this thread [of right-wing extremism]”, but provided no further details. (…) On Monday, digital affairs minister Krzysztof Gawkowski told Polsat News that there had been an “enormous wave of disinformation” in the wake of Saturday’s tragedy. He criticised “pseudo-journalists and politicians” who had shared such content. “Digital platforms acted very responsibly, removing this content quickly,” said Gawkowski. However, he added that X, the social media service owned by Elon Musk, had been an exception and was “where the most radicalisation occurred”.

The dead gunman ​who killed six people in a Krakow square visited websites about Norwegian mass ‌killer Anders Behring Breivik, Poland’s justice minister said on Tuesday, adding there were signs he may have been influenced by right-wing extremism.

A Polish man who opened fire in Krakow city’s main square and killed six people on Saturday visited websites about Norwegian white-supremacist killer Anders Behring Breivik, according to Poland’s justice minister. Waldemar Zurek said on Tuesday that there was “a very strong indication of right-wing extremism” behind the gunman’s actions that shook the nation on November 7. Investigators also found in his possessions a Gadsden flag – a US Civil War-era flag featuring a rattlesnake on a yellow background that is often linked to the US far right, the minister added; Todesschütze von Krakau interessierte sich für norwegischen Attentäter Breivik Es mehren sich Hinweise, wonach der Angreifer in Krakau ein rechtsextremes Weltbild vertrat: Laut den Ermittlern soll der 24-Jährige Webseiten über Anders Breivik besucht haben. Auch fanden sie eine verdächtige Flagge. Der Todesschütze von Krakau hat sich nach Angaben des polnischen Justizministeriums für den rechtsextremen norwegischen Attentäter Anders Behring Breivik interessiert. »Die Behörden haben Zugriff auf den Computer des Terroristen. Es ist eindeutig, dass er Webseiten über Anders Breivik aufgerufen hat«, sagte Justizminister Waldemar Zurek vor Journalisten. Die Hypothese einer rechtsextremen Radikalisierung werde durch weitere Hinweise gestützt. (…) Es sei klar, dass der Todesschütze seine Tat vorbereitet habe, sagte Zurek, der auch Generalstaatsanwalt ist. Er habe rund zehn Magazine für ein halbautomatisches Gewehr und 500 Kugeln gekauft – dies sei deutlich mehr als für einen Schießstandbesucher üblich. Die Waffen und die verwendete Munition seien Teil der Ermittlungen. Unter anderem gehe es darum, ob der Todesschütze militärische Munition besessen habe oder Projektile, die besonders schwere Verletzungen hervorrufen sollten.

Der 24-Jährige war verletzt worden, als die Polizei ihn in der zweitgrößten Stadt Polens überwältigte. Die Behörden ermittelten gegen ihn wegen Terrorverdachts (…) Die Schusswaffenattacke von Krakau hätte noch schlimmer enden können: „Bei dem Attentäter sowie in seinem Auto wurden vier Schusswaffen und etwa 500 Schuss Munition entdeckt“, sagte ein Sprecher der Staatsanwaltschaft. Der Mann habe wahllos eine große Zahl von Schüssen abgegeben. Es seien zahlreiche Patronenhülsen gefunden worden. Bei den vier bei dem Täter und in seinem Auto sichergestellten Schusswaffen habe es sich um zwei Sturmgewehr vom Typ AR-15 sowie zwei Pistolen gehandelt.

White supremacist who wanted to ‘kill as many migrants as possible’ stockpiled petrol bombs and napalm to attack hotel housing asylum seekers, court hears

A ‘Nazi’ who wanted to ‘kill as many migrants as possible’ stockpiled petrol bombs and napalm in preparation for an attack on a hotel housing asylum seekers, a court has heard.  Mikka Lee Anderson, 24, is said to have hidden his far-Right ideology behind a ‘veil of normality’, living with his partner and young child and holding down a job in a Wren Kitchens factory while allegedly plotting a terrorist attack. As well as planning to burn down the historic Royal Hotel in Hull city centre, Anderson also considered attacking Labour MP for Kingston upon Hull East Karl Turner, sharia law courts and a local imam, Newcastle Crown Court heard. On the first day of Anderson’s trial, where he denies preparing acts of terrorism and possessing articles for a terrorist purpose, the jury heard that he was an ‘ardent believer in white nationalism’ who admired Adolf Hitler, believed Muslims were going to ‘destroy the white population’ and non-white people were a ‘societal pest which needed to be dealt with.’ In the autumn of last year, Anderson began conducting ‘reconnaissance’ at the Royal Hotel, which was being used to house migrants and was a short walk from his house, and decided it ‘would make an excellent target for a terrorist attack,’ prosecutor Adam Birkby told jurors. At his home, he had cultivated a stash of some 20 knives and a crossbow as well as camouflage clothing and a gas mask. He also had a copy of the Anarchist’s Cookbook which helped him make Molotov cocktails, napalm and smoke bombs. Anderson allegedly tried to recruit others from Hull ‘who were willing to commit acts of terrorism’ but found many ‘did not share the defendant’s enthusiasm for the use of extreme violence or recoiled at the fact that the defendant was a self-declared Nazi,’ Mr Birkby said.

White supremacist Nick Fuentes linked to college Republican group, records show

Computer records reveal College Republican Patriot Coalition’s web domain in account registered to Fuentes-managed company. A college Republican coalition claiming 31 affiliated student groups in 14 states that attacked the Trump administration from the right routed its email through the same Microsoft 365 account as a company controlled by white nationalist Nick Fuentes. Until Monday morning, Microsoft’s public sign-in records put the College Republican Patriot Coalition (CRPC)’s web domain in an account registered to NJF LLC, a Fuentes-managed company that also runs his personal website and online store. By Monday evening, hours after the Guardian sent questions to Fuentes and the coalition, the domain no longer appeared in that account, and a Microsoft verification code had been deleted from its settings. Fuentes’s own domains remained in the account. The organization has hinted at ties with Fuentes in the past, but no operational link has been definitively shown until now. The revelation of an operational link between Fuentes and the highlights the inroads that Fuentes and his white nationalist “Groyper” movement have made among younger Republican activists and student organizations.

‘Does He Know He’s Still Live?’: Neo-Nazi Influencer Broadcasts Shocking Cybersex Session on Kick

Neo-Nazi influencer Christopher Pohlhaus reportedly left his Kick livestream running during a private sexual video call, leaving viewers watching. Neo-Nazi influencer Christopher Pohlhaus reportedly broadcast a private sexual video call live on Kick for more than two and a half hours after failing to end his stream, according to a report by The Bulwark. Pohlhaus, who uses the online name ‘Hammer’, is said to have believed his broadcast had stopped after a World of Warcraft session on Tuesday, 3 November. Journalist Will Sommer reported the incident on 10 November. According to his account, Pohlhaus stopped recording through his streaming software but did not end the live transmission on Kick. The broadcast allegedly continued as he spoke with a woman he appeared to believe was no longer being seen by the public. The distinction matters: stopping a recording does not necessarily end a live stream. Sommer reported that about 15 people had been watching the original gaming session, but did not establish how many viewers saw the subsequent call. Viewers Tried To Warn Pohlhaus Sommer reported that the conversation became sexually explicit and that Pohlhaus masturbated during the call. Viewers appeared to recognise the error before he did and posted messages in the live chat. ‘DOES HE KNOW HE’S STILL LIVE?’ one commenter wrote, according to the report. The encounter reportedly lasted more than two and a half hours, with stretches of ordinary conversation. At one point, Pohlhaus paused to eat chicken he had prepared. Sommer’s account does not establish whether he saw the chat messages as the call continued. The reported audience was small, but the incident raises questions about the privacy of the people involved. The woman was identified by an online pseudonym in The Bulwark’s report; her real identity was not established in the publicly accessible portion. (…) According to Sommer, the woman eventually said another man had messaged her to ask whether she was streaming with Pohlhaus. Only then did Pohlhaus appear to realise what might have happened. ‘Oh, nooo!’ he reportedly exclaimed, before adding, ‘I hope not!’ The stream then ended, The Bulwark reported.

siehe auch: Neo-Nazi Leader Accidentally Livestreams Masturbation Session He thought he’d stopped broadcasting when he finished playing WoW. But the real show had only just begun. AS AMERICANS SETTLED IN to watch the midterm results last Tuesday, neo-Nazi internet personality Christopher Pohlhaus had different plans: World of Warcraft. And perhaps something a little bit more erotic after that. Pohlhaus, a tatted-up white supremacist influencer who goes by the name “Hammer” online, streamed the fantasy game to his fans for hours. But eventually, Pohlhaus wanted to talk to a lady outside of the fantasy land of Azeroth. And this conversation was not meant for his fans to see. Before video-chatting with the woman, Pohlhaus turned off the recording on his streaming software. Crucially, however, Pohlhaus did not also end his broadcast on the streaming site Kick, which meant his romantic talk with a neo-Nazi hanger-on known by the screen name “Iron Maiden 14” was still broadcast online to the roughly fifteen viewers who had originally been watching the World of Warcraft stream. As Pohlhaus dirty-talked and eventually began to masturbate with the woman, his commenters desperately tried to warn him they could see everything. “DOES HE KNOW HE’S STILL LIVE?” asked one horrified commenter. This was, to say the least, not a great look for a white supremacist leader hoping to embody traditional values and hypermasculine strength. After more than two-and-a-half hours of cybersex and talking (interrupted by Pohlhaus taking a break to eat some chicken he’d prepared), “Iron Maiden 14” said—again, live on the broadcast—that she had received a message from another man asking her if she was streaming with Pohlhaus.

A New Wave of Neo-Nazi #Accelerationism is Rising – #terror

A new wave of neo-Nazi accelerationist groups is emerging internationally, drawing heavily on the legacy of Atomwaffen Division (AWD). Groups such as Aktion Division, Zenithkrieg Division, and Atomwaffen Polska are adopting AWD’s propaganda tactics and imagery, recruiting new members, and claiming to establish cells across different countries. Emerging groups are forming new international alliances, bringing together different violent extremist networks. Coalitions such as The Order and White Plague connect neo-Nazi accelerationist groups with extremist communities associated with No Lives Matter and The Com, where violent extremism, the glorification of violence, cybercrime, and misanthropy overlap. These groups are openly encouraging racist murders and other acts of violence, with threats extending beyond online propaganda. GPAHE uncovered guides instructing followers to commit racially-motivated murders and recruitment requirements demanding that applicants carry out and document violent acts. Individuals linked to these networks have been arrested in Poland and Ukraine in terrorism-related investigations. Neo-Nazi accelerationist groups are openly recruiting and spreading propaganda on mainstream platforms such as TikTok. GPAHE found neo-Nazi accelerationist propaganda from Atomwaffen Division copycats circulating  on TikTok, underscoring the responsibility of mainstream social media platforms to stop allowing extremist groups to use their services to recruit new members and spread their ideology, contributing to online radicalization. Over the past few months, a new wave of neo-Nazi accelerationist groups has emerged online. Neo-Nazi accelerationism is an extremist ideology that seeks to hasten the collapse of existing social and political structures through violence, including terrorist attacks, with the aim of triggering a race war and ultimately establishing white ethnostates. On platforms such as Telegram and TikTok, these groups share recruitment messages, images of firearms, calls for violent attacks, and even guides on how to commit murder. Many draw heavily on the legacy and visual aesthetics of Atomwaffen Division (AWD), one of the most notorious neo-Nazi accelerationist organizations whose members have been linked to multiple murders and terrorist plots.
