"Happy Hunting": Right Wing Extremist Chats Flourishing on Telegram
"Hunter, who identifies as part of a NatSoc family, openly discusses his training of teenagers in militant far-right activities, including plans for violent acts."
"The authorities arrested Jörg S. and seven others for allegedly forming the Saxon Separatists, a group linked to recent far-right militant actions."
"Jörg S. claims his group is a harmless hiking club while authorities assert they are part of a growing militant far-right culture targeting youth."
"Jörg S. cites Timothy McVeigh as a role model, showcasing the influence of historical acts of violence on current far-right militants."
Jörg S., a 24-year-old from Saxony, shares his far-right beliefs and involvement in militant activities on Telegram. He trains teenagers and young men for paramilitary actions and plans violent experiments. The FBI infiltrates his circle with an undercover agent, leading to arrests for forming the group 'Sächsische Separatisten' (Saxon Separatists). Authorities view Jörg and his associates as part of a broader militant far-right movement appealing to youth, despite Jörg’s claims of being merely part of a harmless hiking group.
