A neo-Nazi motorcycle gang created by an undercover law-enforcement unit to investigate white supremacists and racist bikers has helped topple two domestic-terrorism groups in Central Florida.
The original investigation began in 2007, when an undisclosed agent traded emails with August Kreis III, a leader of the Aryan Nations hate group who wanted to form a Nazi motorcycle club to serve as the militant arm for white supremacists across the country, according to records obtained by the Orlando Sentinel.
Using a false identity, the agent with the Orange County Sheriff's Office became the Aryan Nations' top Florida administrator responsible for recruiting members for what would become the 1st SS Kavallerie Brigade Motorcycle Division — operating out of a clubhouse in St. Cloud.
Early members included at least two additional undercover FBI agents — who infiltrated the club — and a biker accused of offering $1,000 to anyone willing to shoot a black man riding an ATV in rural Osceola County, records show.
"The underlying aspect through all of it was that they were obtaining explosives and explosives expertise, and they intended to use them to kill people in the United States," Orange-Osceola State Attorney Lawson Lamar told the Sentinel last week about what he characterized as the region's most complex undercover operation in decades.
"We have a duty to stop what they were doing."
The two cases — the motorcycle club and the takedown of the American Front white-supremacist group in Osceola in May — have resulted in 20 arrests on charges ranging from unsuccessful bomb and murder plots to drug dealing, illegal firearms possession and conducting paramilitary training to prepare for a race war.

The federal government manufacturing crimes again.
The Crips and the Bloods have been around longer, and they own whole swaths of cities.
La Raza, MS-13 and Mechta have been around longer, and are all over a dozen states.
But a white gang has to be manufactured out of whole cloth.
Meanwhile Chicago is elevating America’s largest and most influential hate group, the Nation of Islam and trying to return them to their 1990s status when they were supplying security for government housing in six major cities.

“Early members included at least two additional undercover FBI agents — who infiltrated the club — and a biker accused of offering $1,000 to anyone willing to shoot a black man riding an ATV in rural Osceola County, records show.”
And when have the New Black Panthers been accused of a crime because they placed a $10,000 bounty on George Zimmerman?
Tjhe reminds me of the Hutaree prosecution - hundreds of thousnads spent on prosecution, lives and families ruined, and only a couple of blown-up convictions on two of the defendants.
Show me where government prosecutors pay for their mistakes.
See cointelpro. If one were so inclined to be a part of a “fringe” organization, you should be aware that 99 times out of a hundred, anyone advocating any time of physical violence of any kind, is going to be a fed.
I thought this was a story about Gordon Sumner.
This is a joke right?
