SILVER CREEK —

Three suspected white extremists arrested last week ahead of a pro-gun rally in Virginia made two trips last year to Georgia to train at what federal prosecutors describe as a “regional training camp” for The Base, a violent, neo-Nazi terrorist group that seeks to provoke civil war.

Last week, federal agents arrested Maryland residents Brian Mark Lemley, Jr., 33, and William Garfield Bilbrough IV, 19, and Patrik Jordan Mathews, a 27-year-old fugitive from Manitoba, Canada, and accused them of various firearms violations, including transporting a machine gun and ammunition across state lines with intent to commit a crime, as well as crimes related to Mathews’ illegal entry into the United States.At the same time, state and federal authorities arrested three Georgia men and accused them of plotting to murder a Bartow County couple and of belonging to a criminal gang. Michael John Helterbrand, 25, of Dalton; Jacob Kaderli, 19, of Dacula; and Luke Austin Lane, 21, of Silver Creek, are being held without bond in Floyd County.All six men — plus a seventh arrested in Wisconsin — are accused of belonging to The Base, an “accellerationist” extremist group that advocates violent acts as a way to speed the collapse of society, allowing them and other white supremacists to build a white ethno-state out of the rubble.

…It was during this period that Lemley and Bilbrough allegedly purchased approximately 1,550 rounds of 5.56 mm ammunition commonly used in automatic and semi-automatic assault rifles before leaving the state for Maryland.‘Violent revolution is now’To accomplish its aims, The Base calls on its members to form small cells to commit violent acts to destabilize society and provoke a violent response from its enemies. Authorities found evidence the men discussed such plans.“The time for violent revolution is now. That time is already here,” Mathews said on a video federal agents retrieved from his computer. “Derail some (expletive) trains, kill some people and poison some water supplies.”Lemley, Bilbrough and Mathews were arrested last week ahead of a massive pro-gun rally in Richmond, Va. According to court documents, the men built an assault rifle from ordered parts and discussed killing police officers for their tactical gear, targeting random civilians from sniper positions, and sparking a civil war by inciting violence at the rally.“We can’t let Virginia go to waste,” Mathews said to Lemley.”We have a (expletive) rifle, you’ll have your (expletive) kit set up. We’ll have radios, (night-vision goggles). Holy (expletive).”At the same time, authorities arrested Lane, Helterbrand and Kaderli in Georgia. Court documents allege the three met with the undercover agent several times in December to discuss their plan to kill the Bartow couple for allegedly belonging to an antifa group.Helterbrand, Kaderli and Lane have each been charged with participating in a criminal gang and conspiracy to commit murder. Jail records do not identify any attorneys representing them. Floyd police hope for the case to go to a grand jury for an indictment. Leigh Patterson, Floyd’s district attorney, declined to comment Thursday.A warrant for Lane’s arrests lists an address for him on John Ingram Road south of Rome. The road twists up woody, hilly terrain to a remote community with modest homes. Eventually, the road gives way to a dirt one on the Lane family’s property. Neighbors declined to comment or did not answer their phones.The Rev. Kyle Tibbetts is the pastor of Damascus Baptist Church, a little white house of worship with a view of the Lane family property. Between 40 and 50 people attend services there on Sundays. Tibbetts has heard gunfire nearby, but he said that is typical during hunting seasons.“I can’t recall any kind of weapons fire that would sound out of the ordinary,” he said. “It is not like there is some real riffraff traveling through.”He added: “It is kind of crazy that it has happened so close to us.”
