"After the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Va., in 2017, national attention focused on extreme right-wing groups in the country. Some groups retreated from public view and became more active online, but the groups never went away, said Joshua Fisher-Birch, a researcher with the Counter Extremism Project, a think tank with offices in New York and Berlin.

Now, some extremists are hoping to take advantage of the growing popular support for  policies like mass deportation, even if many remain deeply suspicious of the government, Mr. Fisher-Birch said. But even within the universe of radical groups, Blood Tribe is an outlier, he added."

"“White supremacist extremists will likely continue to see the FBI as a threat to their organizing and as a convenient opponent in propaganda,” said Joshua Fisher Birch, a terrorism analyst at the non-profit Counter Extremism Project."

"Joshua Fisher-Birch of the Counter Extremism Project told The Guardian, "These groups see the next four years as a mix of positives and negatives but overall, as an opportunity to enlarge their movement. Extreme-right groups are focusing on mass deportations and seeking to win over potential recruits by concentrating on this issue.""

"They make no mention of their neo-Nazi sympathies and avoid public discussion about “politics, Jews or history,” the New York-based Counter Extremism Project reports. Members are encouraged to look and act like “regular guys” and maintain a focus on recruitment."

“Britain on Wednesday froze the assets of international neo-Nazi group Blood and Honour, the first use of the UK's counter-terrorism sanctions to target a far-right entity. The finance ministry said it had "reasonable grounds" to suspect that Blood and Honour was "promoting and encouraging terrorism, seeking to recruit people for that purpose and making funds available" for terror activities… The group emerged in England in 1987 from the skinhead music scene, according to The Counter Extremism Project (CEP), a non-profit policy organisation working to combat extremist ideologies. Founded by Ian Stuart Donaldson, who died in a 1993 car crash, it has since spread across Europe, Russia, Australia, and North America, the CEP noted.”
 

“... Terrorism expert Hans-Jakob Schindler from the Counter Extremism Project also sees a growing danger from IS terror for Europe and Germany . However, a special fund alone will not provide a solution, Schindler warned in an interview with the Münchner Merkur . "Money alone is not a solution. The legal basis must first be created, only then can the money from a special fund be used effectively," said Schindler. Above all, the online powers of the security authorities need to be modernized, says the expert: "This involves data retention, IP data storage independent of the reason and, above all, the evaluation of mass data from social media using AI."”

“... For extremism expert Alexander Ritzmann, this is precisely the strategy of the "Active Clubs". "Violent right-wing extremists train, prepare for violence, but act as if they were just doing sports." Ritzmann works for the non-governmental organization "Counter Extremism Project", which operates in the USA and Europe and deals with extremist movements worldwide. In his opinion, the "Active Clubs" serve one main purpose: to build a network of right-wing extremists who are prepared to fight and use violence. According to Ritzmann, it remains to be seen what really drives the right-wing extremists behind the still young "Active Club" movement: "Will it remain a fist fight? Or is it just a pretense, a pretext, and in fact it is an armed militia, an armed vigilante group."”
