Atomwaffen is an international WP terror group that reportedly has 100 or so members in cells scattered around the country and in some other countries. Atomwaffen is connected to at least 8 deaths including Blaze Bernstein. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomwaffen_Division
The Atomwaffen leader James Mason a career Neo Nazi is the author of white supremacist books including siege. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Mason_(neo-Nazi)
While Atomwaffen is only one of many active WP groups they do not hide what they are about, but they do try to hide their identities. Other groups like the KKK, hammer skins, KSS, 211 crew, American front etc are very forward with what they are about.
Some very Neo Nazi groups have tried to change their images in an attempt to mainstream In November 2016, following the election of Donald Trump, NSM changed its logo, replacing the swastika with an Odal rune in an attempt to enter mainstream politics.
In Oregon groups like Identity Europa, True Cascadia, & American Front affiliates became common place imbedding themselves in conservative rallies across the state, and across the country . http://pnwawc.com/2017/09/01/spotlight-on-american-front-where-violence-nazism-and-familial-criminality-collide/
Another player from the depths of WP on the national scene is Brien James. Brien James who started as a member of the KKK, but later joined the hammerskins, then the outlaw hammers. Later Brien went on to co-found the deadly Vinlanders social club. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinlanders_Social_Club
After the Vinlanders social club fell apart Brien started the Soldiers of Odin, then changed it to American Guard with many of his old VSC associates and began mainstreaming into the national scene. AG is quickly becoming a major player in far right and conservative circles.
many of these groups have realized that they can’t recruit or move their agendas forward openly. These groups will continue to hide who they are to gain access to what they see as fertile recruiting grounds. That tied to open WP groups and WP terror cells like AWD is scary.
