A news story yesterday by the same journalist showed links between the NSN and forign terrorists groups, including receiving funding.
>**‘A scary time’: Nazi terror links revealed as disbanding sparks fears of violence**
>Australia’s biggest neo-Nazi group has been in direct contact with dozens of terrorists and extremist groups overseas and experts say they are more dangerous than ever as they officially disband to escape new hate laws.
>An investigation by this masthead has uncovered fresh details of the extent of the National Socialist Network’s entanglement with terrorists and criminals, some of whom have given the neo-Nazi group money, and trained its members overseas.
>National security experts say the relationships revealed between NSN members and key leaders of neo-Nazi terror cells suggest the Australians are deeply embedded in the far-right extremism movement internationally. And they say the NSN’s formal dissolution could now make its members more volatile than ever – freeing them from its discipline and giving its leaders, who are already plotting a return under the guise of a political party, more protection from culpability if those neo-Nazis turn violent.
>Leaked chatlogs, photographs and other evidence analysed by this masthead show that members of the NSN have been in close contact with at least 30 neo-Nazi extremist groups overseas since forming five years ago. Nine of those groups are listed internationally as terror cells, and three of them – The Base, Atomwaffen and Terrorgram – are also banned in Australia.
>Leaders of some of those terror groups have been described as friends by NSN leader Thomas Sewell, and they have appeared in the NSN’s closed chats on Telegram.
>Among them are notorious Atomwaffen leader Brandon Russell, now jailed for plotting terror attacks in the US, who shared mass murder manuals with the NSN after Atomwaffen was banned in Australia, as well as British terrorist Benjamin Raymond of National Action, whom Sewell said had helped him plan how to evade a ban on the NSN in Australia.
>When this masthead put the allegations to Sewell, he said he did not view these people or groups as terrorists and he claimed he was being persecuted by the Australian government.

Hmmm, they look suspiciously white.
The biggest haters always seem to cover themselves in a flag.
Can’t believe that One Nation and the Greens voted to protect groups like this.
