Feds say white supremacist leaders of "Terrorgram" group plotted assassinations, inspired attacks

Washington — Federal prosecutors in California unsealed an indictment Monday charging two people with leading an online group of white supremacists that maintained a list of high-profile targets to assassinate and urging group members to commit hate crimes.

A 37-page indictment filed on Sept. 5 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California alleges that Dallas Erin Humber and Matthew Robert Allison led the group known as "Terrorgram," a network of channels, group chats and users on the app Telegram, that promote "white supremacist accelerationism." The ideology is described in court filings as "centered on the belief that the white race is superior," and that violence and terrorism are needed to spark a race war to speed up the collapse of government and the rise of the "white ethnostate."

Humber, 34, and Allison, 37, face 15 federal charges, including three counts of soliciting the murder of a federal official, four counts of soliciting hate crimes and one count of conspiring to provide material support for terrorists. Humber is from Elk Grove, California, and Allison is from Boise, Idaho. Both were arrested last Friday and officials said Allison is expected to make his initial appearance in court on Tuesday.

Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke said the indictment shows the "new technological face of white supremacist violence."

From the indictment, here's a taste of Terrorgram:

Terrorgram incited users to commit attacks in furtherance of white supremacist accelerationism, including the following individuals who were allegedly inspired or guided by Humber, Allison, and other members of the Terrorgram Collective:

1) An individual who shot three people (killing two) outside of an LGBT bar in Slovakia;
2) An individual who planned an attack on energy facilities in New Jersey; and
3) An individual who stabbed five people near a mosque in Turkey.

Reconstitution of ISIS in South Asia, the Middle East and Africa. Good article below by Max Boot today. Ours are cut from the same mold. I weep for my species.

Sounds like a real piece of work.

On edit: a CNN story referred to them as “the men.”


Dallas Erin Humber, 33, seen here as a teenager around the time she began posting hate content online, was recently outed as a member of the militant "Terrorgram Collective."


A Sacramento resident, who at one time made a living selling dildos, has been exposed as the voice behind a prominent neo-Nazi extremist account promoting and celebrating killings and attempting to radicalize others.

The information was first published in Left Coast Right Watch, an investigative website that tracks right-wing extremism.

LCRW tracked Humber’s social media trail back to posts she made while a young teenager in Elk Grove, when she was an open fan of Nazism. After a break she re-emerged, selling dildos in 2014. By then she had a police record and also dabbled in extremely violent fetish art.

I'm in Sac, and Elk Grove was just told too bad, you have to also share in having low income housing. Non of the burbs or streetcar neighborhoods want hem, they want them all in Midtown, Downtown, or off Del Paso with the "poors."

We have both the Proud Boys and the AFA HQed outside of Sac. Thank God Sacramento is blue.

But I know well of what you say.

I once met a guy from Citrus Heights who claimed Davis was a Hippie Haven — so I bought a house and raised my two kids there.

One’s a lawyer and one’s a math teacher. It’s been a good life in Hippie Haven.

Her propaganda canonized white supremacist murderers as "saints." She may have helped inspire a shooting at a gay bar. Now she's been unmasked.

There really are no words to convey the utter hate I feel for this vile, disgusting human. I hope she goes to prison for the rest of her worthless life. Her parents must be very proud of their vile spawn.

Yes, she looked like a pretty and sweet teenager - but years of hate filling her and spewing from her clearly shows.

MTG probably never looked good and went straight to hate filled Fugly.

They will always be stuck in the past. It's not their world anymore and really, it never was.

what happened to the likes of them in the past.

These two are lucky they will probably get a slap on the wrists (first offenders) and not a firing squad (yet).

the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) will have plenty room for these miscreants.

How many hundreds of refugees die every month trying to get to the US, Australia, or Europe for simple survival, while these young people threw their lives away over hatred. Remarkable.
