It appears he is likely right about that. More from the OP above:

"Under the motto “there is no political solution”, the Base embraces an “accelerationist” ideology, which holds that acts of violence and terror are required in order to push liberal democracy towards collapse, preparing the way for white supremacists to seize power and institute an ethnostate. Members remained defiant following the arrest of seven alleged members of the group in mid-January, calling it “an unjust political witch hunt” from the “Liberal Globalist System”.


The entire article is worth a read. This is NOT over. And I believe this is a prime source of what we're seeing from Vanilla ISIS / Trump / Bannon caliphate which has expressed the same sentiments ie: "Destroy the administrative state" (Bannon has said that). And how many times has Trump used the term "witch hunt" anytime anyone tries to hold him accountable for his deadly lawlessness?
