FBI agent who infiltrated KKK says far-right is a 'real threat' to US

FBI agent who infiltrated far-right groups including the KKK for 25 years reveals Klansmen told him it’s ‘christian’ to ‘kill Jews, blacks, gays, commies, and Asians’ because they ‘don’t have souls’

  • Agent – known only as Scott B – worked undercover FBI operations for 25 years 
  • Infiltrated groups including Ku Klux Klan, The Base and biker gang the Outlaws 
  • Described how leaders of white nationalist group The Base believed Hitler was ‘living in Middle Earth, along with a race of giants’ among many conspiracies

A retired FBI agent who spent 25 years infiltrating far right groups including the Ku Klux Klan as well as neo-Nazis and biker gangs has said how white nationalist extremism is still a ‘real threat’ to the US as he revealed what it was like to be an uncover member of hate groups.

In a wide-ranging interview for Rolling Stone, the agent – known only as Scott B. to protect his family – shared how he drunk whiskey with Klansman who distorted Christianity and said it’s ‘not a sin to kill Blacks, gays, commies, and Asians’ because they are ‘seeds of Satan’.

He also described how leaders of white nationalist group The Base believed Hitler was ‘living in Middle Earth, along with a race of giants’, that ‘earth was concave’, and that they would ‘sire a master race’ by ‘kidnapping b****** and raping them’.

Scott, who the magazine describes as ‘6ft 4 and 260 pounds with mail-box quads and meat-plow arms’ with a tattoo sleeves, also said that while undercover he ‘wasn’t acting’ because that ‘would have got him killed’.

Instead, he admits, he exposed ‘darker shades of himself’ while embedded in homicidal terrorist groups and stayed sane by thinking about preventing further white supremacists attacks in the US.

In a wide-ranging interview for Rolling Stone , the agent – known only as Scott B. to protect his family – shared how he drunk whiskey with Klansman who distorted Christianity and said it’s ‘not a sin to kill Blacks, gays, commies, and Asians’ because they are ‘seeds of Satan’. He also described how leaders of white nationalist group The Base (pictured)  believed Hitler was ‘living in Middle Earth, along with a race of giants’, that ‘earth was concave’, and that they would ‘sire a master race’ by ‘kidnapping b****** and raping them’ 

Among the attacks Scott says he thinks about because the FBI failed to prevent them, include Charleston church shooting in 2015 which saw mass murderer Dylann Roof kill nine black people, and the El Paso shooting in 2019, where 23 mostly Latino victims were shot to death in a Walmart. Patrick Crusius, who is charged with killing them, is awaiting trail. 

In 2020, the Department of Homeland Security said white supremacists pose the ‘most persistent and lethal threat’ to the United States.

The department described 2019 as the deadliest year for incidents of domestic extremism in 25 years – noting that white supremacists were responsible for the vast majority of people killed in those incidents.

In November, FBI officials made a statement to congress again discussing how white supremacy is the biggest threat facing the US, with the bureau tackling 2,700 cases tied to domestic extremism following an uptick in threats over 18 months.

Scott, who has been undercover with ‘homicidal bikers who beat their victims with hammers’ as well as ‘racist gangsters’ who pimp out women under the name ‘Aryan angels’ – admits that if he didn’t make friends with black people in college he ‘may’ have shared some of their views’ but ‘probably not’, because he’s ‘not big on stupid’.

One of the groups he infiltrated was The Base – a a White Nationalist accelerationist paramilitary group and training network. 

The Base allegedly also operates in Australia, South Africa and Canada. A screen capture from a video posted to the group’s chatroom shows members conducting drills at a recent hate camp. The location is unknown

The white supremacist group – which is banned in the UK and Canada – celebrate and promoted the use of violence in an attempt to establish a fascist, white ethno-state by means of a ‘race war.

Their members are known to have engaged in weapons and explosives training.

Last year, covert recordings used as part of US intelligence agencies’ ongoing counterterrorism efforts showed The Base actively recruiting and grooming US teenagers.

Senior members of the group, quizzed teens on what radicalised them and encouraging them to delve deeper into white supremacist teachings. 

The department states The Base’s founder – who goes by the pseudonym ‘Roman Wolf’ ‘published a series of videos under his alias covering topics including ‘lone wolf’ activity, advocating guerrilla warfare and leaderless resistance.’

In another anecdote, Scott revealed how one night he was ‘drinking bourbon with Klansman’ who described the ‘dual-seed theory’ to him. Members of the Ku Klux Klan carry Confederate flags during a demonstration in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee

Allegedly named Rinaldo Nazzaro, he claims to have run a New York-based firm that specialised in national security and counterterrorism and advertised having ‘worked with various government and military agencies, including multiple wartime deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan,’ The Guardian states.

Nazzaro now reportedly lives with his Russian wife in St. Petersburg. 

Scott told Rolling Stone Nazzaro wanted to ‘finish what Hitler started’.

Scott joined The Base after emailing an address he found on The Gab – a social networking sight known for it’s Alt-right users.

He contacted them with the address WhiteWarrior88 (88 is a white supremacist numerical code for Heil Hitler) – filled out a questionnaire and then was asked to join the group.

From there he met a cell leader called Lane – who the FBI had been tracking. 

Alleged founder of The Base is Rinaldo Nazzaro is an American national living in Russia, who claims to have been a US government contractor in the past

Scott was then waved down with a detector that picks up recording devices – but it missed the one attached to Scott’s car as he was parked under a power line, disturbing the reception – meaning the didn’t get caught.

But he was shocked these ‘kids’ (most of the cell were just 19 or 20) had equipment the FBI didn’t.

Scott’s cover was nearly blown again, when, while undercover with biker gang the Outlaws he was told – at gunpoint – to strip naked.   

Despite having been undercover for 18 months and the group believing Scott had committed six crimes for them, they still wanted to search him for a recording device.  

But – in what Scott says is an act of God – they missed the microcamera — attached to his body.  

In another anecdote, Scott revealed how one night he was ‘drinking bourbon with Klansman’ who described the ‘dual-seed theory’ to him.

The terrorist group believe that in the Garden of Eden, Adam fathered Abel, who went on to sire the ‘white race’ while Satan (in the form of a snake) fathered Cain – who went on to create ‘mud people’. 

He added these people – including ‘Blacks, gays, commies, and Asians’ are all seeds of Satan. 

‘Christians can kill them and it ain’t a sin to do so, since they’re hell spawn who don’t have souls,’ he shockingly claimed. 

He also said how at Klan meetups, he met a man who would post pictures of synagogues to his Facebook page and say, ‘I’m gonna do something big.’ 

Scott arranged to meet the man – Benjamin McDowell –   while posing as a bomb supplier and learned how he had intel of  an event at a temple he planned to attack where families would be present.

After the drop off of the bomb – police swarmed McDowell, who was given a 33- months sentence for illegally buying a gun.   

The loophole is, there’s no domestic-terror law: You can’t bust a guy for saying “All Jews must die.” So you wind up working whatever charge you can just to get ’em off the street,’ he explained.
