1. Cruz belonged to a Clearwater “cell” of Republic of Florida, “white civil rights organization fighting for white identitarian politics,” and did paramilitary training in Tallahassee. 3 classmates confirmed “Cruz was part of the group,” and was often seen with [Jordan] Jereb.”

2. Jereb, the leader of the group, shared an org chart on Gab, showing how "lone wolves activists" are utilized.
The group had clear intentions to commit violent acts, expressed in writing on social media:
4. Alt-right and neo-Nazi leaders plan ahead and have a vision in addition to the mission. Jordan Jereb and Matthew Heimbach, one of the leading neo-Nazis in the USA, met to discuss uniting “dozens if not hundreds of organizations” of neo-Nazis and white supremacists.
5. Video:
6. Heimbach is wearing the Russian Orthodox Cross. He is an Orthodox Christian with strong ties to Russian ideologists and admiration for Trump and Putin, is also a member of the World National Conservative Movement, a product of the Russian Imperial Movement (RIM).
7. Russian Imperial Movement arose in part from the efforts of a Russian political party founded by Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin and a close ally of Putin. The group’s stated goals are similar to those pursued by the Kremlin, including the neutralization of the EU & NATO.
8. “Putin is supporting nationalists around the world and building an anti-globalist alliance while promoting traditional values and self-determination.” — Heimbach, “Business Insider”
9. Kremlin supports separatists, ultra-right and neo-Nazis in the West. In the video, Heimbach talks to Jereb about Golden Dawn, Greek neo-Nazi organization. Previously Heimbach said that in terms of the organization tactics, “we follow the European example of Golden Dawn.”
10. Heimbach met w/Golden Dawn founder and leader Nikos Michaloliakos. “The Golden Dawn is a natural ally of Russia, and is fighting American expansionist policies." GD MP also met Alexander Dugin, nicknamed "Putin's Brain."
11. In 2015, Aleksander Dugin — a neo-fascist philosopher, who has ties to virtually every American white supremacist leader in one way or another, hosted a lecture, via Skype, at the Traditionalist Worker Party founded by Heimbach. Photo: Dugin with David Duke.
12. Dugin inspires neo-Nazis, alt-right and ultra-right movements. Quotes: “It is important to provoke all forms of instability in the US.”
13."especially important to introduce geopolitical disorder into internal US activity, ... all kinds of separatism; ethnic, social & racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements—extremist, racist, §arian groups, ...destabilizing internal political processes."
14. Following Dugin's doctrine, the Kremlin supports separatists movements: Texas secessionist Preston Wiginton and Calexit leader Louis Marinelli (resident of Ekaterinburg, Russia) in Moscow.
15. From "Slavonic Tribute to US Secession Movement" video on RofF Youtube channel. Note the poster: "Defend Our Border Not the Ukrainian Border."
16. Dugin's projects and publications (in Russian and English) like Katehon and “Orthodox TV channel” Tsargrad are sponsored by Russian right-wing nationalist Konstantin Malofeev, the founder of Marshall Capital, one of the leading Russian investment groups.
17. Malofeev is connected with Russian Orthodox Church and Patriarch Kirill, a former KGB officer. Malofeev is one of the chief financiers of Russian mercenaries and separatists fighting against the Ukrainian government.
18. Katehon website covered #CarterPage’s visit to Moscow. “After the reunification of #Crimea with #Russia and the beginning of operations in Ukraine, [Page] was one of the few American experts who called for understanding the actions of Russia."

19. Planting discord and "divide and conquer" are #Cyberwar strategies used by the Kremlin. Another tactic here is deflection. School shootings, terrorist attacks and natural disasters are created or used to distract the public attention from the unwanted discoveries in media.
20. “in the wake of Wednesday’s Parkland, Florida school shooting… troll and bot-tracking sites reported an immediate uptick in related tweets from political propaganda bots and Russia-linked Twitter accounts. https://www.wired.com/story/pro-gun-russian-bots-flood-twitter-after-parkland-shooting/
21. One of the stories that Russia tried hard to bury this week was the expose of the ties between #Manafort, #Deripaska & and the Kremlin. In #Russia , YouTube and Instagram were threatened to be closed over this story. https://medium.com/@ZarinaZabrisky/cherchez-la-femme-deripaska-kremlin-trump-d25bfd263db6
22. “Smear campaigns” are used to create the image of internal enemy and “scape goats.” Since Charlottesville, such campaigns against #Antifa became a compulsory exercise for #AltRight, #Kremlin #trolls and #Bots. #disinformation is an important tool in cyberwar.
23. #Kremlin, following Dugin's principles, inspires ethnic, racial and geopolitical conflicts, uses existing issues and plants discord to demoralize the US population as a part of cyberwar and the continuation of the 2016 #meddling as shown in #Mueller's #indictment.
24. "Lone wolf activists," militia, neo-Nazi groups become tools used to "destabilize internal political processes in the US." (Dugin). If we ignore this process, we will lose our democracy. https://medium.com/@ZarinaZabrisky/school-shooting-ethno-state-cyberwar-1da4e6ff3282
