Neo-Nazi Leader Charged with Plotting to Poison Jewish Children in NYC

[Social Media]

 

A federal grand jury in Brooklyn, New York, has indicted Michail Chkhikvishvili, a 21-year-old leader of the neo-Nazi extremist group "Maniacs Murder Cult," on charges related to a plan to poison Jewish children in New York City. The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced the indictment on Tuesday, detailing four charges that include soliciting hate crimes and acts of mass violence.

 

Chkhikvishvili, a native of the Republic of Georgia, is accused of plotting a mass casualty attack scheduled for New Year’s Eve. Prosecutors allege that Chkhikvishvili devised a plan in November 2023 to have an associate dress as Santa Claus and distribute poisoned candy to children at Jewish schools in Brooklyn. The DOJ emphasized that this plan was intended to create widespread fear and chaos.

 

According to the DOJ, Chkhikvishvili provided specific instructions to an undercover law enforcement officer, whom he believed to be a recruit. These instructions included detailed manuals on creating lethal poisons and gases. Court documents reveal that Chkhikvishvili visited New York City at least twice in 2022, staying with his grandmother in Brooklyn.

 

The arrest came after Chkhikvishvili allegedly attempted to enlist the undercover officer in carrying out violent crimes as part of a broader scheme to incite terror. This scheme included plans for bombings and arson. Chkhikvishvili, also known by aliases such as Mishka, Michael, Commander Butcher, and Butcher, is accused of leading the Maniacs Murder Cult, which is based in Eastern Europe. The group adheres to a neo-Nazi accelerationist ideology that promotes violence against racial minorities, the Jewish community, and other groups it deems "undesirables."

 

The DOJ detailed that Chkhikvishvili began recruiting for his extremist cause in 2021, distributing a manifesto called the "Hater's Handbook." This document discusses the group’s principles and describes methods for committing mass terror attacks. Chkhikvishvili claims in the handbook that he has "murdered for the white race" and encourages others to engage in school shootings, suicide bombings, and other acts of violence. The manifesto specifically mentions using vehicles to target large gatherings and pedestrian-congested streets, urging attacks within the United States.

 

If convicted, Chkhikvishvili faces severe penalties, including up to 20 years for solicitation of violent felonies, five years for conspiracy to solicit violent felonies, 20 years for distributing information on explosive devices, and five years for transmitting threatening communication.

 

The DOJ's announcement underscores the ongoing threat posed by extremist groups and the importance of vigilance and law enforcement efforts to prevent acts of terrorism and hate crimes.

I doubt that anyone in a Santa suit would be allowed anywhere near children at Jewish schools!

Lol.  That made me recall a (non-PC) joke from my schooldays, set in the school playground just after the Christmas break when the children of varying religions were asked what they did on Christmas day.  Most of the children recounted tales of the presents that they had received etc., but when the Jewish child was asked and he responded "Well, as you know, we don't believe in Santa Claus, and we don't get any presents, but my Father has a toyshop, and every Christmas morning the whole family visits the toyshop.  We spend a few minutes looking at all the empty shelves, then we all sing one chorus of "What a friend we have in Jesus" and then we go home!"

Then there's Chanukah with eight days and eight gifts. Sounds great until you start getting socks and pencils.
