(Start with White Vanguard Part 1)
So what was ‘Steve’ doing?
I guess we should start by talking about the MFFC chat. Set up in 2024 soon after the rioting, the chat paid members to target mosques and police cars.
The group would post various acts by members including the testing of IEDs and targeted graffiti. The group had a section filled with “resources”. It had a variety of bomb making manuals, insurgency tactics and training documents.
The purpose of this chat appeared to destabilize the UK by giving neo-Nazis the ability to begin targeting state infrastructure and to begin an accelerationist race war.
The group members would post Quran and Torah burnings while others suggested more provocative actions that they hoped would spark disorder.
Group members mentioned that they would have taken matters into their own hands. Other members actually prepared for such eventualities. The group was designed in a way where plans could be made, tactics discussed and resources to back this up were available.
The chat was shut down in early 2025 after gaining the attention of UK police services.
The chat appeared to part of a network of Russian aligned channels designed to disrupt and sabotage NATO countries and those supporting Ukraine.
The UK previously experienced this when a warehouse containing Starlink devices destined for Ukraine was subject to an Arson attack by individuals recruited by Russia and the Wagner Group.
Similar attacks have occurred in other European countries with communication equipment, railway tracks and an ammunition factory being targeted.
This group was created to push the UK into further violent acts following rioting in 2024, the aim appeared to be continuing the violence beyond rioting and start a sort of insurgency.
Nazi accelerationists wish to see the start of a race war along with societal collapse and this chat was resource to make this happen.
So how does Harrison relate to a potentially Russian intelligence operation?
Perhaps because he was in there, Harrison going by “Steve” was encouraging members to put razor blades under stickers and used an example of someone most likely himself putting one under a sticker at Waterloo station.
Harrison was regularly posting in this chat and could’ve been involved in some of the promoted actions. Harrison had access to a multitude of documents that could’ve later been made accessible to White Vanguard.
With some of these manuals, White Vanguard would’ve had the ability to create a terror group capable of building bombs and weapons to use on others.
Also in this chat was Martin Shadbolt. Martin is a former National Front member, now involved with the British Movement and New British Union. Based in Putney, Martin is skilled in archery and an ex British Armed forces soldier. Martin advised the chat on how make Molotov cocktails more effective.
So we find Harrison and Martin in chats that encouraged terrorism, planned violent acts and broke various UK laws. What was even more stupid is there was no need to infiltrate this chat, it was publicly viewable without any vetting or even joining the chat.
Both of them posted on how to cause serious harm to others where anyone could see this and Martin decided to do this with his face on his profile picture and under his actual name. Not the smartest pair really.
Tomorrow our next thread will discuss one of the original four members of Youth Alliance and a White Vanguard loyalist.
