One of our ninjas sent us this article on Mr. Climo, which I then forwarded on to our own Nate Thayer.

Conor Climo, a former security guard, told U.S. District Judge James Mahan he possessed materials to make a destructive device and is a member of the Feuerkrieg Division, an offshoot of a U.S.-based neo-Nazi group called Atomwaffen Division.

Nate of course was already all over it.

And then it got weird.

U.S. Law Enforcement: Leader of U.S. Nazi Terror Group is a Russian Spy

Nate Thayer

Rinaldo Nazzaro aka ‘Norman Spear’, formerly of New Jersey, is now living in St. Petersburg, Russia. The founder of the U.S white supremacist domestic terror group is a Russian intelligence asset with previous connections to U.S intelligence agencies, according to documents, intelligence analysts, U.S. law enforcement sources, and former members of The Base.

The leader of a violent U.S. Nazi, white supremacist domestic terrorist group was affiliated with U.S. defense and intelligence agencies before becoming an asset of Russian intelligence, documents, U.S. intelligence and law enforcement sources, and former members of The Base say.

U.S. law enforcement and intelligence sources insist Rinaldo Nazzaro, aka ‘Norman Spears’ and ‘Roman Wolf’, the founder of the “The Base”, is currently “not one of us,” according to two U.S. federal law enforcement and intelligence sources with direct knowledge of the U.S. investigation of The Base terror activites in the U.S.

The Base and Rinaldo Nazzaro are central to a tangled web of covert U.S. government law enforcement and intelligence operations, private U.S. defense and intelligence contractors, the Russian intelligence services, and a Nazi, white supremacist violent terror group whose members have plotted murder and terror attacks in the U.S. and ammased an arsenal of weapons intent on launching a ‘race war.’

“He is not an American asset,” said one U.S. source with direct knowledge of the federal government investigation of The Base. “He is working with the bad guys but covers his tracks very well,” the source said, referring to Russia, adding currently “He is a major target” of U.S. intelligence and law enforcement.

The sources declined to answer if Nazzaro had previously worked for any U.S. government agency.

Nazzaro created a U.S. based terrorist organization and incited and instructed his subordinates to carry out violent terror attacks in the United States.

If Nazzaro is, in fact, a Russian operative, that would escalate Russian intelligence operations well beyond cyber hacking of United States elections, placing Vladimir Putin’s Russian government as funding and organizing armed, violent, military terror attacks on United States soil.

The FBI arrested 7 members of ‘The Base’ in January on a plethora of domestic terrorism crimes, including conspiracy to commit murder and plotting to launch armed terror attacks charges–three in Georgia, three in Maryland, and one in Wisconsin. Earlier, in November 2019, the FBI arrested a Base New Jersey resident, Richard Tobin, for directing the desecration of houses of worship in Michigan and Wisconsin on September 21, 2019. Mr. Tobin, according to federal court records, is cooperating with authorities and the information he revealed to the FBI was central to the arrest of the seven other Base members on January 16 and 17, 2020.

U.S law enforcement sources with direct knowledge of the U.S. federal law enforcement investigation said this week that they are “rolling up the bad guys” and “there is more coming” in “cases all over the country.”

Rinaldo Nazzaro founded The Base, a United States domestic terrorist organization with, according to four current and former members of the group, “50-60 members”, in July 2018–the same month he moved to St. Petersburg, Russia. Nazzaro has directed the activities of the U.S. terror group from Russia ever since.

Currently, Nazzaro lives in St Petersburg with his two children and his wife, Lyudmila V. Sergeyeva, a U.S. and Russian dual citizen.

Previously, the couple maintained homes in New York city, New Jersey, Northern Virginia, and Washington, D.C. before moving to Russia in July 2018, according to documents, government records, intercepted social media posts, U.S. law enforcement and intelligence sources, and four former or current members of The Base.

In January, ‘The Base” founder, using the online alias Norman Spear, was revealed by journalist Jason Wilson of the Guardian newspaper to be Rinaldo Nazzaro, 46, an American citizen originally from New Jersey.

Nazzaro has directed the terror groups operations from sanctuary in Russia since its inception.

The Base is considered to be one of the most violent U.S. domestic terror groups by federal law enforcement authorities, and has actively recruited members over social media, neo-Nazi and white supremacist extremist web sites to commit acts of violent terrorism in the United States.

Nazzaro has claimed to be an Afghanistan and Iraq war veteran; a “former CIA field intelligence officer”; and a “Defence studies expert”; among other self descriptions which are not independently confirmed. U.S. military records show no one with the name Rinaldo Nazzaro, with his verified New Jersey issued social security number or date of birth has ever served in any of the five branches of the U.S. uniformed services.

Nazzaro encourages white supremacists who gather online to organize in real life and carry out ‘Lone Wolf” violent terror attacks on U.S. soil.

Rinaldo Nazzaro, under the name ‘Roman’, referring to the arrest of a member of the Atomwaffen Division, an affiliated U.S. terror group of The Base, in Texas in November 2019. The arrested domestic terrorist, Aiden Bruce-Umbaugh, who is from Washington state, was pulled over in a traffick stop with two AR-15 semi automatic rifles, an AK-47, a 9 mm handgun with three fully loaded clips, and “‘2 to 3 thousand” rounds of ammunition in the vehicle.

“He was telling us he was a defense contractor and that he did two tours in Afghanistan,” said a member of The Base in a February 2020 interview. The former Base member left the organization in 2019. “The overarching theme was he wanted people to get together in real life formed in regional cells.”

“Nazzaro was always trying to herd people” on their online encrypted discussion boards. “Norman’s big theme was all groups could have cross membership. As more and more mainstream people left the group, that is when the extremists started talking about ‘let’s get together and do crimes.’ Those voices were AWD.”

On the left is rhe flag of the terror group Atomwaffen Division and on right the flag of The Base. Sources affiliated with both groups say the man on the left is John Cameron Denton, aka “Rape”, a leader of Atomwaffen Division currently living in Conroe, Texas, a suburb of Houston. The man on the right holding the Base flag is Rinaldo Nazzaro, founder of the Base and a Russian intelligence operative, according to Base sources.

AWD is the acronym for The Atomwaffen Division, a Nazi, white supremacist U.S. domestic terror group which has a number of cross memberships with the Base. The Atomwaffen Division is linked to at least 5 murders since 2017 and a number of foiled violent terror attacks in the U.S.Both the Base and AWD goups openly advocate for lone wolf terror attacks against houses of worship, schools, and mass killing of civilians to spark a race war in the U.S.

“From when the Base was founded, people in the chat rooms were saying his IP address was in St. Petersburg,” said one former Base member. “It was very common knowledge he was living in Russia. You could easily sell me his job was to sow chaos–that the Base was a ‘honeypot.’”
