Several undercover FBI agents were involved in the investigation, the DOJ said.By Alexander Mallin and Meredith DelisoA 24-year-old Tennessee man has been arrested and charged with allegedly plotting to use a weapon of mass destruction in a neo-Nazi-inspired plot to destroy an energy facility near Nashville, the Justice Department announced Monday.Skyler Philippi allegedly planned to attack Nashville's power grid with a drone armed with explosives after conducting extensive research into how such an attack could serve to "shock the system," as he reportedly relayed to one FBI confidential source who became aware of his plotting, prosecutors said.The FBI first began investigating Philippi in June after a confidential source who was in touch with him reported to the FBI his alleged desire to commit a mass shooting at a YMCA near Columbia, Tennessee, according to the complaint.
NSC-131 founder Chris Hood says Trump vote will help “preserve and improve” plight of race separatistsBy Tim DickinsonChris Hood, the founder of the thuggish neo-Nazi group NSC-131, has endorsed the MAGA candidate for president, calling on fellow fascists in the swing states “to vote for Donald Trump.”In a long statement on Telegram, Hood described Trump as providing a small step forward to his goal of “ultimate victory,” and insisted that casting a ballot for Trump provides a no-regrets way for race separatists to act — “even if it means just one less Somalian in Maine, one less Haitian in Ohio, and one more foot of wall built.” He added, “It costs you nothing.”The embrace by the Trump movement by a literal neo-Nazi — who was previously a member of the Proud Boys, Patriot Front, and another hate group called The Base — offers evidence that Trump’s late, ugly, attempts to expand his appeal to the fetid fringe of the American right could have met with some success. The Trump campaign did not respond to Rolling Stone’s request for comment.

Opinion by Kalyn WomackFederal prosecutors arrested two individuals accused of trying to recruit white nationalist terrorists through a social media platform. When you find out what they were allegedly scheming, you’ll be disgusted.Monday, an indictment filed in the Eastern District of California was unsealed, revealing a list of charges against 37-year-old Matthew Allison and 34-year-old Dallas Humber. Each of them were slammed with fifteen crimes including hate crimes and plotting the murder of federal officials. The indictment says the two had been leading an initiative called the “Terrorgram Collective” on messaging app Telegram for the past two years instructing followers internationally to commit acts of racist violence.The Department of Justice claims Allison and Humber published a hit list inside the platform of people they wanted dead because of their racial, religious or sexual identity. These people included federal judges, U.S. state’s attorneys and other public officials described to be anti-white or anti-gun. What was even more frightening is that each person was given a description with their photo and even home addresses, per the DOJ.
U.S. prosecutors unveiled criminal charges on Monday (September 9) against two alleged leaders of a white supremacist gang, saying they used the Telegram social media site to solicit attacks on Black, Jewish, LGBTQ people and immigrants aiming to incite a race war.
Story by Sofia SutterThe first person identified from a century-old mass grave of victims in the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921 is a Black World War I veteran, Tulsa’s mayor announced Friday.C.L. Daniel served in the U.S. Army and was likely no older than 25 when he died during the deadly riot, according to forensic investigators who identified him this week.About 300 people were killed by a racist mob and more than 1,000 Black-owned homes and businesses were destroyed on May 31 and June 1, 1921.The city of Tulsa launched an investigation into 120 unmarked graves in 2021, and researchers began combing through the gravesites to identify people who had been buried during the riot in Tulsa’s prosperous Greenwood District, known as “Black Wall Street.”Daniel was born in Newman, Georgia, to Thomas Daniel and Amanda Merriweather Daniel. His mother was a widow by 1910 and had to provide for her seven sons.Daniel was stationed at Camp Gordon in Chamblee, Georgia, during the war and was honorably discharged after nine months and 16 days. He spent 19 days in a base hospital, possibly for a leg injury, according to Phoebe Stubblefield, an anthropologist at the University of Florida involved in Daniels’ identification.
ABC NewsOn Nov. 10, 1898, more than 2,000 white supremacists in Wilmington, North Carolina, ransacked a Black-owned newspaper, Black-owned banks and forced the city's local leaders, which included a mix of white and Black elected officials, to resign in what historians call the only successful coup in U.S. history.Now historians, residents and descendants of the victims are working to ensure that one of the darkest days in Wilmington's history doesn't remain lost and forgotten.While the city has been working to identify and honor the victims of the insurrection who lost everything, some of their descendants, like Inez Campbell-Eason, say more needs to be done to rectify the sins of the past."I was really angry. I used to cry all the time, like angry, fiery, angry tears, because this is generational wealth that was taken away from my family," she told ABC News.Campbell-Eason said she only found out a few years ago about the insurrection and how her great, great grandfather Isham Quick was evicted from town banks that he successfully managed.

Opinion by Matson BrowningAs a cop who for decades worked undercover in white-supremacist groups and in FBI task forces fighting terrorism, I’ve had a front-row seat to witness hate in its various shapes and sizes, its costs and its causes, and the way it grows when left unchecked.Hate morphs, and it can pop up anywhere. Just a few examples: A 20-year-old man was beaten to death by young skinheads outside an Arizona pool hall; a man on a train in Oregon screamed anti-Muslim chants at a young woman in a hajib before stabbing two people to death; vigilantes armed with AR-15s roam the U.S. border with Mexico targeting their fellow human beings.What I used to hear in the 1990s from skinheads and Ku Klux Klan members in Arizona, what I later heard from guys in khakis and golf shirts in Virginia, I now hear from college kids and even a member of Congress.Jewish students targeted on campusesToday, hate’s victims are Jewish students walking to class at Harvard who are verbally and physically assaulted. This time, the assault comes from well-educated “thugs” with a pack mentality, hoping to strike fear in the faces of Jewish students, who are today’s personification of “the other.”Black, Muslim, Hispanic, gay, Jewish. Anyone can be hate’s chosen target. Anyone can be the other.In fact, people we’ve never even met can become targets for hatred, based almost always on the intentional misinformation of others. When that misinformation mixes with a person's need to belong, it’s more explosive than dynamite.
