Now They've Put a Target on His Back." https:\/\/www.thedailybeast.com\/i-dont-speak-german-podcaster-daniel-herman-exposed-neo-nazis-now-he-has-a-target-on-his-back "In early September, Harper and his co-host released a pair of episodes that focused on the adherents of an obscure neo-Nazi author named James Mason. A book Mason wrote has become a bible of sorts for terroristic neo-Nazi groups like Atomwaffen Division, and it has helped spawn a new wave of so-called accelerationists\u2014people who believe societal collapse is the quickest way to create an all-white ethnostate. Many of those adherents flocked to Telegram, the encrypted messaging app, in recent months after getting booted from other social media platforms. And they\u2019ve created their own enclave there, which they refer to as \u201cTerrorgram.\u201d It was there, in the Terrorgram community, that the threats against Harper took shape. On Sept. 11, an anonymous post appeared on one of the Terrorgram channels, telling people to send Harper \u201cfan mail\u201d at his address in Michigan. The following day, the same channel published a video from someone who drove by the address and filmed the house. \u201cHowdy, antifascist activist Daniel Harper,\u201d the text of the post read. \u201cNice place you've got there.\u201d The posts set off a wave of chatter on Telegram. In the midst of it was a user who went by the handle \u201cAnti-Kosmik 2182,\u201d who chimed in with his thoughts about what to do about Harper. \u201cDitch the car somewhere a few blocks away, take back alleys, trails in the woods, etc., and then come up on the house wearing a mask,\u201d he wrote. \u201cI\u2019m not saying do anything illegal, but I am saying it would be a real shame if all he has went up in literal flames.\u201d In court records, the FBI later said that \u201cAnti-Kosmik 2182\u201d was Smith, an infantry soldier stationed at Fort Riley, Kansas. The bureau also revealed that it had an undercover agent on Telegram who was interacting with Smith around the same time."
