Continue reading.A neo-Nazi terror cell enmeshed in the US Marine Corps made plans to attack the power grid last fall, hoping to set the stage to carry out assassinations in their quest to create a white ethno-state, according to a new indictment issued last month.
Arrests in the government's takedown of the terror cell, whose members called themselves "BSN," began in October 2020, starting with founders Liam Montgomery Collins and Paul James Kryscuk, and gradually expanding to include three others through June 2021.
As has previously been reported, members fantasized about shooting Black Lives Matter protesters in Boise, Idaho in the summer of 2020.
The most recent indictment, handed down on Aug. 18, adds a new charge of conspiracy to sabotage an energy facility. The purpose, according to the government was "to attack the power grid both for the purpose of creating general chaos and to provide cover and ease of escape in those areas in which they planned to undertake assassinations and other desired operations to further their goal of creating a white ethno-state."

Google images submitted as evidence by the government in the case depict three sites in Portland, Ore. and California's Bay Area. They include what appears to be an electrical substation on the Willamette River in Portland; the Zenith Energy terminal, a petroleum storage facility in Portland; and the Menlo Park Rescue site, a shuttered facility next to the Dumbarton Bridge linking Menlo Park to Fremont, in California.

Liam Montgomery Collins and Paul James Kryscuk, the two earliest members of BSN, met on Iron March, a neo-Nazi online forum founded by Russian nationalist Alexander "Slavros" Mukhitdinov, in 2011. The forum shut down without explanation in November 2017. Two years later, anonymous researchers leaked the entire history of chats, and a website associated with the @JewishWorker Twitter account was set up to provide a searchable database of the contents. In its day, Iron March provided a forum to connect violent racists and allow them to meet up in real life. Participants in the forum, including future members of AtomWaffen and Vanguard America, embraced an accelerationist strain of white supremacy that rejects political solutions and calls for violent insurrection to bring about a race war. AtomWaffen is tied to multiple murders. A man who rallied with Vanguard America at the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Va. drove his car into a crowd of anti-racist marchers, murdering Heather Heyer; a splinter group from Vanguard America rebranded itself as Patriot Front.

Kryscuk had been working as a porn actor under the name of "Pauly Harker" since 2009. Several of the films that feature Kryscuk "degrade Black women, according to websites that track abusive porn," HuffPost has reported. Contrasting with his work as a porn actor, Kryscuk would adopt a religious nickname — "Deacon" — when he joined BSN, while Collins called himself "Disciple."

"I live in the Northeast, so I have a tightknit crew of ex-Mil and Security I train with," Collins wrote on Iron March in August 2017. "We do hikes, gym sessions, live firing exercises, and we eventually plan to buy a lot of land. Can't really specify the name or details because it's an inner-circle thing, but it will serve its purpose when the time comes. Think of it as a modern-day SS."

From the start, Collins' goal was to assemble a neo-Nazi commando group comprised of men with military experience.

The defendants are set to be arraigned on the new charges in federal court in Wilmington in January.
