New in PJ Media:
The official propaganda line that the regime would have us believe, solemnly repeated by Old Joe Biden, Gestapo chief Merrick Garland, and others is that “white supremacists” constitute the greatest terror threat the nation faces today. The only problem with this scenario is that in the absence of a large number of white supremacist terror attacks, the narrative has had to be shored up by branding parents as terrorists for being angry about drag queen story hour in elementary schools. That is not to say, however, that there is no white supremacist terrorism at all. It’s just not a matter of MAGA hat-wearing rednecks descending on obscure gay black actors in sub-zero weather while declaring that Chicago is “MAGA country.” Reality, as always, is more complicated than the narrative, as a recent case illustrates.
On Friday, according to the Justice Department, a U.S. Army private named Ethan Phelan Melzer, who also went by the name Etil Reggad, “pled guilty to attempting to murder U.S. service members, providing and attempting to provide material support to terrorists, and illegally transmitting national defense information.” Melzer was involved with the Order of the Nine Angles (O9A), which the DOJ says is “an occult-based, neo-Nazi, and white supremacist group.” But no one is wearing MAGA hats in this crowd: “O9A espouses neo-Nazi, anti-Semitic, and Satanic beliefs, and promotes extreme violence to accelerate and cause the demise of Western civilization. The group has expressed admiration both for Nazis, such as Adolf Hitler, and Islamic jihadists, such as Usama Bin Laden, the now-deceased former leader of al Qaeda.”
The group didn’t just admire bin Laden; it wanted to emulate him. Melzer, the DOJ explains, “planned a jihadist attack on his U.S. Army unit in the days leading up to a deployment to Turkey and sent sensitive details about the unit” to O9A. Underscoring the seriousness of this plot is the fact that this information included details of his unit’s “location, movements, and security.” This wouldn’t have been the first time O9A committed an act of terrorism: “Members and associates of O9A have also participated in acts of violence, including murders. O9A members are instructed to fulfill ‘sinister’ deeds, including ‘insight roles,’ where they attempt to infiltrate various organizations, including the military, to gain training and experience, commit acts of violence, identify like-minded individuals, and ultimately subvert those groups from within.”
That was why Melzer joined the Army in the first place: solely in order to set up this attack. No one initially suspected him, however, and so in October 2019 he went to Italy as part of the 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team. While he was there, however, Melzer “consumed propaganda from multiple extremist groups, including O9A and the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham, which is also known as ISIS.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

2022 Is Lit: Army Private Sent Sensitive Military Info to White Supremacist Group to Facilitate Jihad Attack
………………………….
Yes–we finally found an actual white supremacist plot, and–surprise, surprise–he was in league with Jihad terrorists.
mortimer says
They are following the plan of their hero Adolf Hitler who joined forces with the Mufti of Jerusalem who styled himself ‘the leader of the Muslim world’.
Anti-Semites flock together. Stalin and Hitler had a pact until Hitler betrayed Stalin’s trust and broke it.
Hitler kept the Mufti al-Husseini in Berlin and used him when needed. The Muslims proved very unreliable troops and allies for the Nazis. Many of them mutinied.

Fitting since Nazism and Islam have much in common—contempt for liberty, totalitarian in structure and ideology, pretty much looking upon the female as a baby factory and the need for a “them” to despise (ethnic groups for Nazism, non-believers for Islam).

Spot on Mortimer and Wellington.
Roha Waha says
The deception of the most dangerous threat to America is White Supremacist violent attacks is that WHEN THE GOVERNMENT WAS PRESSED FOR DATA TO BACK THIS CLAIM . They presented Prison Gang assaults as 90% of the data used to make the determination. They did not track or rank Black , Hispanic or Muslim Prison gang violence. So this whole narrative is false. There is no danger to American citizens outside the Prison System.

Good point–and as you note there is considerable violence from other prison gangs–likely a good deal more than from white supremacists.

Even if this guy hadn’t existed, they would have invented him. Maybe he was invented. Wouldn’t be the first timr.

Who is “they”? PJ Media? The US military? The US Justice Department?
Why do you believe that neo-Nazis don’t often have links with Jihad terrorists? This is actually quite common.
