The Base is emerging from shadows and ramping up its ranks as White House turns blind eye to the far right

An international neo-Nazi terrorist organization is boldly continuing to build in the US and planning a new paramilitary training event without fear of local authorities or the FBI, which once dismantled it in a nationwide effort.

The Base, founded in 2018 by a former Pentagon contractor living in Russia and now suspected of Kremlin-sponsored espionage, once boasted close to 50 stateside members before the bureau made more than a dozen arrests in a years-long counter-terrorism operation.

But since the presidential election campaign last year and what many then believed to be a surefire victory for Donald Trump, the Base saw an opportunity in a potential administration uninterested in policing white supremacy and went about ramping up its ranks.

    You'd think they'd get the message .... when push comes to shove, and if they ever get into real authoritarian power again, the majority of the world will take up arms to fight them ... and there are more of us than there are of them and judging from the track record over the past few wars, they've seldom won (they have won in a few places but not many)

    Also, Hitler literally stole ideas like eugenics and Jim Crow from America to persecute/murder the Jews and other minorities because that’s how evil my country’s past is.
