The Russia-based leader of the Base, which adheres to principles of accelerationism, seeks ‘A-team leader’ in US

While far-right extremists from all corners of the internet are targeting vice-president Kamala Harris as she takes the reins of the Democratic ticket, one of the longer standing US-based neo-Nazi terror groups is also attempting to continue its covert activities as the presidential election season begins in earnest.

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, who is the subject of an FBI investigation and once called a Department of Justice “matter” by a US government official, 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.

"The Base" = Al-Qaeda in arabic. I don't know if he thinks he's being really clever or if he's so stupid he doesn't realise.

Please do show that the candidate the Nazis don't want is Kamala Harris. I'm sure that will convince people to vote for Trump.

Pimp up the fact this year is the 80th anniversary of D-Day, do a huge push for the soldiers who lost their lives on the beaches of Normandy and the few remaining brave veterans who put their lives on the line to fight Nazis and fascism in Europe...then quick-fade to these neo-nazis fuckstains who want to eliminate Kamala Harris and how much they support the Dorito Musollini.

Talkin' big bucks here, for your own chance to spend the rest of your life in a cell. "...willing to pay them a salary of up to $1,200 a month."

Yeah, but it's hard to get or keep a job once they notice the swastika tattoos all over your arms and neck.

The Base is full of ex military who are on the far end of the danger zone. One of them Patrik Mathews, a former reservist with the Canadian military, is doing 9 years in the US for his involvement.

The Base even had a contract out on the reporter who had embedded himself in the group and exposed Mathews (https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/caj-the-rcmp-kept-an-investigative-journalist-in-the-dark-even-after-his-life-was-threatened-884062660.html)
