White Supremacist Terrorgram Network Allegedly Inspired Teen Accused of Killing Parents and Plotting Trump Assassination
A Wisconsin teenager, Nikita Casap, is accused of murdering his mother and stepfather and plotting to assassinate President Trump. Casap's alleged actions were inspired by Terrorgram, a white supremacist network on Telegram. Terrorgram, linked to numerous crimes globally, promoted white supremacist terrorism and anti-government sabotage. Casap's three-page manifesto called for Trump's assassination to trigger a revolution and "save the white race." He cited Juraj Krajčík, a Terrorgram figure who murdered two people in Slovakia, and recommended Terrorgram's publications. Authorities have disrupted Terrorgram, but violence continues. Casap was arrested in Kansas and faces multiple charges, including homicide. The FBI is investigating the alleged assassination plot. The Terrorgram Collective, designated a terrorist organization, is implicated in the case. Casap's actions exemplify militant accelerationism, aiming to collapse society through violence to build an all-white ethno-state.
