Court hears teenager tried to join group ‘that believes mass shootings are good’ Unnamed 17-year-old said he wanted to provoke a race war, prosecution alleges The defendant has already denied a single count of preparation of terrorist acts. A teenager joined neo-Nazi group Feuerkrieg Division after taking an online ‘test’ where he expressed hatred for Jews and discussed making ammunition that could ‘smash heads,’ a court has heard. The second day of a trial at Birmingham Crown Court was told the 17-year-old wanted to create a firearm capable of ‘smashing heads’ after joining the so-called Feuerkrieg Division (FKD) last summer. (…) Outlining discussions the boy had on neo-Nazi group chat forums, Mr Brook said they showed the defendant was offering ‘concrete, practical advice about not only converting a blank-firing gun, but making ammunition for it that will ‘smash heads’. The court heard the teenager was given an online test to ensure he was a ‘worthy’ FKD recruit, before being admitted to two private chat groups for UK-based extremists. During the test, Mr Brook said, the youth defined fascism as ‘the pursuit of restoring the natural order’ and said he wanted to provoke a race war.

The 17-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was tested online to see if he was a “worthy” recruit of the so-called Feuerkrieg Division (FKD). (…) Discussions he had on neo-Nazi group chat forums showed that he was offering “concrete, practical advice about not only converting a blank-firing gun, but making ammunition for it that will ‘smash heads”‘, Mr Brook added. In another entry read to the jury, he is alleged to have written: “I’m getting armed and getting in shape. I’d urge everyone to do the same.” The teenager was tested by the FKD over his proposed membership of the group and also two private chat groups for UK-based far right extremists, the court heard. Mr Brooks told jurors the group believed in violence, mass shootings and the breakdown of society. But even before joining, the youth was interested in whether “this was a serious group that could be involved in physical action in the real world, rather than being in his words ‘just an online thing’, Mr Brook added. During the test, the youth defined fascism as “the pursuit of restoring the natural order” and said he wanted to provoke a race war.
Exclusive: Feuerkrieg Division was banned this month but its members are already active in different groups as extremists ‘evolve’ New neo-Nazi groups will continue to emerge as online communities of extremists adapt to government bans, it has been warned. Feuerkrieg Division (FKD) became the sixth far-right network to be proscribed as a terrorist group by the UK earlier this month. Like other emerging neo-Nazi groups, members communicated primarily online, sharing their ideology, propaganda, terror manuals and attack plots under pseudonyms in encrypted chats. Experts told The Independent that the model made it easy for extremists to “evolve” and move to new networks not covered by the government’s ban. Patrik Hermansson, a researcher at Hope Not Hate, said: “We will see new names, new groups. FKD have been shut down for months and it’s done very little to stop them.” He warned that existing members had not changed their views, adding: “Many have never met each other in real life, they’re from different countries, it’s complicated to prosecute.” Allegedly started by a 13-year-old Estonian boy in 2018, FKD members spanned more than a dozen countries and few met in person. The group announced its own dissolution in February and the Home Office admitted that members remain active through other channels.
The neo-Nazi organisation advocates the use of mass murder ‘in pursuit of an apocalyptic race war’ and UK supporters can be jailed for 10 years. Far-right group Feuerkrieg Division has been proscribed as a terrorist organisation by the UK, meaning that its supporters could face up to 10 years in jail. The British government described Feuerkrieg Division as a white supremacist group that advocated the use of mass murder and violence “in pursuit of an apocalyptic race war and promote their ideology online, often using social media platforms to target teens and people in their early 20s”. The group was founded in late 2018 and is active in North America and Europe. Last September UK police arrested a 16-year-old follower of the group on terrorism charges. In response Feuerkrieg Division disseminated a list of police buildings to be attacked and an image of a senior police officer with a gun pointed at his head and the words “race traitor” across his eyes. Home Secretary Priti Patel earlier this week asked Parliament for permission to proscribe the group. “This vile white-supremacist group advocates violence and seeks to sow division, targeting young and vulnerable people online,” she said.
The UK government is set to ban Feuerkrieg Division, a vile white supremacist group that was linked to a plot to blow up a gay bar last year. Home secretary Priti Patel has asked parliament for permission to ban the group, which operates in North America and Europe and is known for its attempts to recruit teenagers and young people. Feuerkrieg Division was founded in 2018 and advocates for terrifying violence and mass murder as part of a “race war”. Home secretary Priti Patel called Feuerkrieg Division a ‘vile white supremacist group’. Under plans released by the Home Office today (July 13), those who join or encourage others to join Feuerkrieg Division will face up to 10 years in prison. “This vile white supremacist group advocates violence and seeks to sow division, targeting young and vulnerable people online,” Patel said in a statement. “I am determined to do everything I can to stop the spread of extreme ideologies that encourage and glorify terrorism, which is why I have taken action to proscribe this group.”

A neo-Nazi group that was led by a 13-year-old boy from Estonia should be banned as a terrorist organisation, the UK government has announced. Feuerkrieg Division, an international group that largely existed online, said earlier this year it had dissolved. But Home Secretary Priti Patel has now asked Parliament for permission to outlaw it in the UK. This would make it a criminal offence to be a member of or invite support for the group. Ms Patel said: “This vile white supremacist group advocates violence and seeks to sow division, targeting young and vulnerable people online.” A Home Office statement said the organisation advocated the “use of violence and mass murder in pursuit of an apocalyptic race war”. The statement added that, in retaliation for the arrest of one of its British followers last year, the group distributed a list of police buildings and an image of a senior police officer with a gun to his head and the words “race traitor” across his eyes, urging followers to carry out attacks. FKD was created in late 2018 and sought recruits online, particularly through its channels on encrypted messaging applications. The group’s ideology promoted the idea that society will collapse into racial warfare – thus opening the way for the creation of a neo-Nazi state – and that this process should be accelerated through terrorist activity.
A white supremacist will plead guilty to a federal weapons charge in a case alleging he planned to bomb a Las Vegas synagogue or shoot people at a fast food restaurant or a bar catering to LGBTQ customers, court records show. Conor Climo’s court-appointed attorneys did not immediately respond Friday to email messages about his signed plea agreement filed Jan. 17 in U.S. District Court in Las Vegas. Climo, 24, is due to plead guilty Feb. 10 and will face about three years in prison, according to the agreement. He will avoid trial and have to undergo mental health treatment and electronic computer monitoring during supervised release after prison. Climo was arrested Aug. 8 and remains in federal custody on a charge of possessing “firearms, specifically destructive devices.” He could have faced up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine if convicted. A spokeswoman for U.S. Attorney Nicholas Trutanich declined to comment about the development in one of several recent criminal cases against members of a far-right extremist group. Climo identified himself as a member of the Feuerkrieg Division, an offshoot of Atomwaffen, a U.S.-based neo-Nazi group that has been linked to several killings, including the 2017 shooting deaths of two men at an apartment in Tampa, Florida. A U.S. magistrate judge who rejected Climo’s bid for release last August said the group “encourages, and may even commit, violent attacks on people of the Jewish religion, homosexuals, African Americans and federal infrastructures.”
On 5 July 2023, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) arrested Patrick Gordon Macdonald, known in accelerationist circles by his digital alias, Dark Foreigner. Macdonald worked for years as a crucial neo-Nazi propagandist and played an instrumental role in crafting the visual aesthetic that, at one point, defined militant accelerationist networks like Atomwaffen Division, The Base, Sonnenkrieg Division, Feuerkrieg Division, and the Order of Nine Angles (O9A) offshoot, Tempel ov Blood. Macdonald’s infamous propaganda, designed to incite others to violence, amplified the preexisting violent narratives in militant accelerationist propaganda and bolstered recruitment efforts for less effective militant accelerationist networks. In essence, his contributions were a critical mechanism that made accelerationist recruitment and propaganda efforts more capable and sophisticated. Macdonald’s arrest signals a clear change in how Canadian and Western law enforcement are approaching militant accelerationism; the RCMP stated that this “is the first [case] in Canada in which an individual advocating a violent far-right ideology has been charged with both terrorism and hate propaganda.” According to the RCMP, Macdonald “allegedly participated in and facilitated the creation, production and distribution of three terrorist propaganda videos”—material the RCMP claims “was intended to promote the group and recruit members, and encourages the commission of terrorist activities.” Dark Foreigner has long been a subject of focus and monitoring for researchers at the Accelerationism Research Consortium (ARC), and our findings support the allegations of criminal wrongdoing by the RCMP. In 2021, VICE news reporters identified Dark Foreigner as Macdonald and articulated how he had become the “chief propagandist” for Atomwaffen Division, a listed terrorist organisation in Canada. At the peak of his popularity, his aesthetic style and hateful artwork became synonymous with the collective visual branding of militant accelerationism. Notably, the Dark Foreigner persona never hid its ideologically motivated activity, just the creator’s true identity.
Laut Anklage informierte sich der 18-Jährige im Internet über die Herstellung von Sprengstoff. Mindestens vier Sprengsätze brachte er zu Testzwecken zur Explosion. Wegen des Verdachts der Vorbereitung einer schweren staatsgefährdenden Gewalttat muss sich ein 18-Jähriger seit Montag vor einer Jugendkammer des Landgerichts Potsdam verantworten. Der junge Deutsche aus Potsdam soll laut Anklage der Generalstaatsanwaltschaft im Frühjahr 2021 geplant haben, einen rechtsextremistisch motivierten Anschlag zu begehen. Der Prozess wird wegen des jugendlichen Alters des Angeklagten zur Tatzeit komplett nicht öffentlich verhandelt. Auskunft zu Inhalten der Verhandlung werde es nicht geben, erklärte eine Sprecherin des Gerichts. Bis Anfang Mai sind bislang neun Verhandlungstage vorgesehen. Laut Anklage hatte sich der damals noch jugendliche Gefährder auf Chat-Kanälen mit Gleichgesinnten ausgetauscht. Zudem habe sich der Beschuldigte im Internet über die Herstellung von Sprengstoff informiert und dafür Chemikalien und Utensilien beschafft, hieß es in der Mitteilung der Generalstaatsanwaltschaft. Mindestens vier Sprengsätze habe der Jugendliche zur Prüfung ihrer Funktion auf einem verlassenen Kasernengelände zur Explosion gebracht.

Er ist kein Einzelfall. Der Prozessauftakt am Amtsgericht Potsdam erfolgte hinter verschlossenen Türen. Am Montag wurde dort gegen Lutias F. die Anklage verlesen. Vorbereitung einer schweren staatsgefährdenden Straftat und Verstöße gegen das Waffengesetz wirft die Generalstaatsanwaltschaft dem Rechtsextremen vor. Weil Lutias F. aber erst 18 Jahre alt ist, findet die Verhandlung als Jugendstrafverfahren und nicht öffentlich statt. Die Vorwürfe gegen Lutias F. aber wiegen schwer. In Telegramkanälen soll er unter dem Alias „Der Forst“ zu Terrortaten angestachelt haben, als Anführer einer selbsternannten Gruppe namens „Totenwaffen“. Auch er selbst soll im Frühjahr 2021 einen Anschlag geplant haben, dessen Ort noch ausgekundschaftet werden sollte. F. hatte laut Anklage bereits mindestens vier Sprengsätze gebaut, die er auf einem verlassenen Kasernengelände bei Potsdam zündete. In den Chatgruppen dokumentierte er dies auf Videos. Auf dem Gelände war auch den Gruppennamen gesprüht. Ermittler fanden bei F. auch eine Anleitung zur Herstellung sogenannter Schießbaumwolle und ein noch nicht zündfähiges Vorläufergemisch. Über Monate soll F. dazu Gleichgesinnte in der „Totenwaffen“-Chatgruppe angestachelt haben. Mehrere Dutzend Mitglieder soll es dort gegeben haben, auch aus dem Ausland. In Potsdam und Berlin tauchten auch Plakate mit dem Gruppennamen auf. Im Juni 2022 wurde der Jugendliche schließlich in Potsdam verhaftet. Die Szene hofft auf einen Bürgerkrieg Sein Fall ist Beispiel für einen rechtsextremen Terror, der sich online formiert – ein militanter Akzelerationismus. Die Bewegung stammt aus den USA, von Vordenker James Mason und dessen Siege-Ideologie, die durch Anschläge einen Bürgerkrieg forcieren will. Sie findet zunehmend auch Anhänger:innen in Deutschland, vielfach sehr junge. Zu ihnen gehörte etwa der damals 27-jährige Halle-Attentäter. Oder die Atomwaffendivison, bei der die Bundesanwaltschaft im April 2022 mehrere Mitglieder durchsuchen ließ – die Ermittlungen laufen weiterhin. Zuvor war ein Mitglied einer „Feuerkrieg Division“, ein 23-jähriger Bayer, zu zwei Jahren Haft verurteilt worden, weil er einen Anschlag vorbereitete. Beide Gruppen waren online auch mit den „Totenwaffen“ in Kontakt und auch international.

Die Polizei hat einen 18-Jährigen in Potsdam verhaftet, der einen rechtsterroristischen Anschlag geplant haben soll. Er war in einem Telegramkanal des internationalen rechtsterroristischen Netzwerks der „Atomwaffen Division“ aktiv. Hier wurden Propaganda-Videos verbreitet, auf denen Sprengungen in Brandenburg zu sehen sind. (…) Der Festgenommene soll aus der Szene des Akzelerationismus kommen. Nach einer rechtsextremen Auffassung von Akzelerationismus sind westliche liberale Demokratien irreparabel korrupt und dem Untergang geweiht. Daher sei es notwendig, den Zusammenbruch aktiv zu beschleunigen, um auf der Asche der alten Ordnung einen weißen „Ethnostaat“ nach den Vorstellungen der White Supremacy (Weiße Vorherrschaft) gestalten zu können. Um dieses Ziel zu erreichen, ist jedes Mittel recht. Auch jegliche Form ideologisierter Gewalt wird befürwortet, um die Gesellschaft weiter zu spalten. Über lose digitale Netzwerke versuchen Aktivist:innen online Mitglieder zu Offline-Attentaten zu bewegen. Sie befürworten vor allem Aufsehen erregende Gewalttaten gegen Minderheiten, die zu Nachahmungstaten inspirieren und eine Kettenreaktion hervorrufen sollen, an deren Ende ein sogenannter „Rassenkrieg“ steht. Auch der jetzt Festgenommene soll Teil eines solchen Netzwerks gewesen sein: Der 18-Jährige war nach Tagesspiel-Informationen in einem Chat namens „Totenwaffen“ aktiv. Jene Gruppe kommt aus dem Umfeld der „Atomwaffen Division“ – ein international agierendes Neonazi-Netzwerk mit sehr jungen Mitgliedern. Ideologisch bezieht sich dieses akzelerationistische Netzwerk auf das Buch „Siege“ des US-Neonazis James Manson und den rechtsextremen Roman „The Turner Diaries“, der den durch Terroranschläge herbeigeführten Untergang der bürgerlich-liberalen Gesellschaft zum Inhalt hat. Die „Totenwaffen Division“ versuchte seit geraumer Zeit neue Mitglieder zu rekrutieren. Der Journalist und Szene-Beobachter Sören Musyal erwähnte bereits Ende 2021 die „Totenwaffen“ und beschrieb deren Rekrutierungsarbeit: „Im Fragebogen, der per Mail beantwortet werden soll, wird u.a. danach gefragt, welchen ethnischen Hintergrund man hat, ob man Waffen besitzt, beim Militär war, Hitlers ‘Mein Kampf‘ gelesen hat und wie man sich die Welt nach der Revolution vorstellt.“ Zudem sollten Bewerber ein Foto mitschicken, auf dem sie einen Zettel mit dem eigenen Namen hochhalten. Mindestens eine weiße Hand soll dabei einwandfrei erkennbar sein, um sicherzustellen, dass sich hier nur weiße Menschen bewerben; Brandenburger #Polizei vereitelt #Anschlagpläne – Jugendlicher Neonazi aus #Potsdam soll #Sprengsätze gebaut haben – #terror #AWD #AtomwaffenDivision #TotenwaffenDivision Die Polizei in Potsdam hat einen Minderjährigen verhaftet, der einen rechtsterroristischen Anschlag geplant haben soll.
