Exclusive: Undercover investigation reveals Arizona neo-Nazi group poses ‘credible threat’ to Jewish community

The member in question put up a swastika-laden poster in the window of the centre, which matches one shared internally by NAO, bearing the caption: “Law enforcement are political soldiers. They protect the filth of ‘democracy’.”

Further evidence of NAO’s accountability, Arkanum says, comes from an internal video of an individual believed to be a member of the cell at the scene.

Another poster, which was not left at the centre but was shared on the channel, read: “Wake up white European. The US Government bows down to the k***.”

However, it was only when investigators started delving into the contents of the Telegram channel that the scale of the threat posed by the NAO was uncovered.

The channel, created on November 13 and already boasting roughly 40 members, showed that those believed to be part of the NAO were armed and displayed both "willingness to act" and "access" to Jewish premises.

An intelligence report seen by the JC states: "The group represents a credible threat, as members are reportedly armed and consistently promote incitement against Jews and law enforcement.

"The incident indicates demonstrated operational capability and willingness to act, including target identification and physical access.

"Given the group’s alignment with a violent extremist ecosystem associated with numerous recent attack attempts, the targeting of a Jewish community centre significantly elevates the risk of escalation."

Arkanum also found that the NAO has multiple X accounts, all belonging to the one leader but under different aliases.

These accounts consistently post neo-Nazi tweets, pictures and videos, including a recent post showing balaclava-clad men chanting in a military style at the command of their leader.
