QAA Podcast - Terrorgram Sex Toy Saleswoman Arrest (Premium E250) Sample
Episode Date: September 18, 2024On September 9th, United States prosecutors announced the indictment and arrest of two leaders of the so-called “Terrogram Collective.” This is an online community of accelerationist neo-nazis whi...ch the DOJ called “a transnational terrorist group.” The indictment charges Dallas Humber, 34, of Elk Grove, California, and Matthew Allison, 37, of Boise, Idaho with 15 crimes. They include soliciting hate crimes, soliciting the murder of federal officials, and conspiring to provide material support to terrorists. If convicted of all charges, Humber and Allison each face a maximum penalty of 220 years in prison. This group has produced propaganda that encourages their fellow white supremacists to venerate murderers and violently attack Black, immigrant, LGBT, and Jewish people. The screeds have directly inspired a series of ideologically motivated attacks around the world. These include a 2022 mass shooting at a gay bar in Slovakia; successful attacks on power infrastructure in North Carolina; and a stabbing spree in Turkey. To help better understand Terrorgram, the arrests, and the history of Dallas Humber we spoke to Abner Hauge and Michael Boorman from Left Coast Right Watch, the publication that first identified Humber as a driving force behind Terrorgram in March of last year.

Keep mehame
If you're hearing this, well done.
You've found a way to connect to the internet.
Welcome to the QAA podcast, Premium Episode 260,
Teragram, Sex Toy, Saleswoman, Arrest.
As always, we are your hosts, Julianfield.
And Travis View.
I guess a brief content warning.
Because this is maybe one of the silliest titles we've had in the while,
but this is also some of the darkest material we've, like,
tend to cover on this podcast.
We're talking about people who don't,
just have, like, murderous hatred. They have, like, murderous suicidal hatred. So, just
be warned. Everything is a joke to you, Travis. That's what I've noticed, is you think, you think
even the most serious things you can make little funny jokes about, really the joker of the
podcast. On September 9th, United States prosecutors announced the indictment and arrest of two
leaders of the so-called pterogram collective. This is an online community of accelerationist
neo-Nazis which the DOJ called a transnational terrorist group.
The indictment charges Dallas Humber 34 of Elk Grove, California, and Matthew Allison
37 of Boise, Idaho with 15 crimes. They include soliciting hate crimes, soliciting the murder
of federal officials, and conspiring to provide material support to terrorists. If convicted
of all charges, Humber and Allison each face a maximum penalty of 220 years in prison.
This group has produced propaganda that encourages their fellow white supremacists to venerate murderers
and violently attack black, immigrant, LGBT, and Jewish people.
The Screeds have directly inspired a series of ideologically motivated attacks around the world.
These include a 2002 mass shooting at a gay bar in Slovakia,
successful attacks on power infrastructure in North Carolina, and a stabbing spree in Turkey.
To help us understand the evolution of pterogram and what these arrests might mean for the
group, we are now joined by Abner Haugie and Michael Borman from left coast right watch.
This is the publication that first identified Dallas Humber as a driving force behind
pterogram in March of last year.
Thank you both for your comprehensive reporting on this over the past couple of years and
for joining us today.
Oh, thank you for having us.
Glad to be back, boys.
It's a pleasure.
It is a pleasure.
This is very fascinating, but very grim material.
Yeah, and by pleasure, I mean horrible pain.
Right.
So you mean pleasure.
People said that to me.
So let's start at the beginning.
So pterogram, real, you know, just real nasty accelerationist.
So first of all, how would you define someone who is like a neo-Nazi accelerationist as opposed to, perhaps a different variety of neo-Nazi?
So neo-Nazis could come in a lot of different flavors.
There was kind of a split maybe towards the 1970s.
So a lot of neo-Nazi strategies up until, say, like, the 1970s when Klansman Louie Beam decided to target the small town in Texas that had a bunch of Vietnamese immigrants.
So what Beam's innovation was, was he kind of coined the phrase, bring the war home that later got spun into the title of a book by Kathleen Ballou, really great researcher.
Beam was a Vietnam War veteran, and he took kind of the irregular warfare tactics that the Viet Cong used and basically brought them home to do these kinds of attacks on the immigrant community in Texas.
Before that, a lot of neo-Nazi activity had been kind of political.
You know, like George Lincoln Rockwell, he would go out and do these political stunts, protests on college campuses, do all the whole free speech stick that, like, you see Charlie Crue.
or Myelianopoulos back a decade ago doing.
And the main route to power and recognition and income for neo-Nazi leaders was basically
these kinds of political stunts that you'd see other fringe political groups do.
But a lot of neo-Nazis are dissatisfied with that.
So what a strain of all kind of that splintered off from that, starting it, I don't know
who he was even starting in the 70s, but it kind of became more prevalent in the 70s and 80s
where they took these kind of tactics and they said, well, to hell with getting political power
through the U.S. government, the U.S. government's controlled by the Jews who cares about them.
We're at war with them. And we're seeing ourselves as the David versus the Goliath here.
So they basically said what we want to do instead of attack it, you know, trying to ingrati
guard ourselves with the Republican Party or whoever the hell's in power and try to take hold of the
reins and direct what the army does, we're going to attack the world from the outside. We're
going to attack the government from the outside. We're going to see where all of the vulnerabilities
in U.S. society are. And we're going to like power stations that are unguarded, like immigrant
communities that don't have very much protection from the police. And we're going to go ahead and do
these sporadic attacks and incite
so-called lone wolves to
attack them. Yeah, so the idea
is basically you inspire
people who are
disaffected and believe in
neo-Nazi ideology to act
on their own and you valorize
them for that and you
have them do these unpredictable
attacks on
say like a power
station and you cause a blackout
for a day or two. Or you go
up and shoot up a synagogue or something. Or you go try to, I don't know, kill a radio host like
a Jewish radio host that got killed in the 70s by a neo-Nazi crew. You basically do a bunch of these
irregular attacks and these attacks will cascade and inspire more and more neo-Nazis and more people
to be radicalized into neo-Nazism. And eventually that will, in theory, overwhelm the government
and collapse it.
And what they hope, their fantasy is that when the government collapses, there will be
a power vacuum that they can carve out little fiefdoms from, like they can take over
little sheriff's departments and claim a county for themselves or something.
So these are people who like look at, say, David Duke and say, not radical enough.
You know, they go, you know, someone, they believe that the only way to achieve their dream white
ethno state is through death and destruction and collapse.
Yeah. In their view, the system is rotten. They're not emotionally or economically invested
in it. And they see their primary interest as bringing the system crashing down as fast as
possible. And their idea is to just like encourage as much chaos to accelerate that process
and hope that the more it happens, the more people will get involved.
and the faster and faster things will stand out of control.
