Most media coverage of this portrays Ethan Melzer as a neo-Nazi, and the whole thing as a neo-Nazi, white supremacist plot. Reality is more complicated, and less convenient for the media narrative.
One important aspect of this story is that it shows yet again that the neo-Nazis do not oppose jihad, as is often claimed, but support it and want to ally with jihadis.
“US Military Private Ethan Melzer pleads guilty of terrorism,” by Ashley Hermalin, Jerusalem Post, June 26, 2022:
US Army Private Ethan Melzer (Also known as Etil Reggard,) in conjunction with the Order of the Nine Angles terrorist group, planned an attack on his unit during a scheduled deployment to Turkey. He pled guilty to it on Friday….
Melzer had been a member of the terrorist organization since 2017 or earlier, according to the US Department of Justice. While stationed in Italy in 2019, he consumed the media propaganda from the Order of the Nine Angles and other extremist organizations, such as ISIS.
What is Order of the Nine Angles?
Order of the Nine Angles is a terrorist organization known for its Neo-Nazi and white supremacist views. The organization has publicly admired Adolf Hitler and Usama Bin Laden and holds satanic beliefs. Members are ordered to infiltrate governmental bodies to access secure information, gain training, and identify individuals to recruit for the purpose of committing further violence. Melzer enlisted for these reasons….
Melzer and his co-conspirators labeled the attack a “Jihadi attack” and its objective was mass-casualty.
Having a far Islamist reach
The information was then shared with members of al Qaeda and Melzer demanded the attacks’ success in return for his possible sacrifice of losing his freedom. “[Y]ou just gotta understand that currently, I am risking my literal free life to give you all this,” he said in an encrypted message.
Melzer plead guilty to the attempted murder of military members, attempting, and providing material support to terrorist organizations and illegally transmitting national defense information that could injure the country. In his statement to the police, Melzer admitted to committing treason….

Chilling–and more of the Fascist/Islamic link.

In cases like this I really hope the death penalty applies.

I agree, but it won’t be–just because he was caught before he could murder anyone.

Agree. America must be great again and must get rid of nazi-muslim murderers

Robert Spencer correctly observes: “One important aspect of this story is that it shows yet again that the neo-Nazis do not oppose jihad, as is often claimed, but support it and want to ally with jihadis.”
So true. And the so-called ‘Leftists’ like AOC and others are, in my view, actually fascists who favor a heavily-censored, totalitarian state allied with Islam.
Antifa claims to be anti-fascist, but we will never see them burning down Twitter, Facebook or any Muslim building. Antifa is the leg-breaker squad of the American Leftists … who are Fascists posing as
Marxists.

mortimer,
Interestingly, various degrees of support for islam comes from both extremes of the political spectrum.

True, James–the totalitarian extremes.
BexarKat says
I am quite confident that the leftist wing of Congress will somehow say that it was Trump-inspired.
Keith O says
I’d put money on that happening.
Minster King says
The left are actually Communist. Years ago It was originally Marxist Organization. Marxist Communist were so hated that they changed
there organization ID to progressives where today are called left. Americans general public are beginning to understand that progressives, communist and left etcetera are all one and the same.
Communist and Nazi beliefs are no match to the murdering brutality of Islam Muslims. Muslims are trained (raised)) to be liars to infiltrate the targeted society with goal of complete takeover. When that is attained they began murdering all who oppose them. This includes All other religions and what is called ideologies that do not convert to satanic Islam and accept Satan’s prophet Mohammad!
Minister King says
This army private is obviously a Muslim Islam Jihadi. It is also well known fact among those that ard aware of what is happening to the U.S. mi!itary. Is that Islam with the help of the communist DC WH and Congress is apart of the U.S. Military!
revereridesagain says
Order of the Nine Angles is also a satanist group which originated in Great Britain. There’s a Wikipedia article describing it. I suppose the media would tag that as “conspiracy theory” or “satanic panic”.
gravenimage says
True, revereridesagain. It is neo-Nazi–originally just Nazi–*and* Satanist. And this isn’t the “touchy-feely” Satanism you find that basically considers itself some sort of nature-worshiping hippy thing, but something much nastier.
So now we’ve got Nazi/Satanist/Jihadist combo–throw in a reference to Pol pot or Stalin and you’ve basically got most of the evil in human history covered. *Ugh*.

I am not surprised by this. I have seen old black and white pictures from the WW2 era of the Grand Mufti of Palestine meeting with Hitler and other Nazis. The Islamists and the Nazis both hate The Jewish State.
Minister King says
History lesson
Palestine did not even exist before the Romans of the Time of the Roman Empire renamed the region. The Romans were knwn to renamed many areas of the Roman Empire. “Palistine” was one; many believe it was done to annoy the Jews of Judea.
