Taylor Michael Wilson (c. 1991- ) is a White man in the US who has been – brace yourself – charged with terrorism. He is even in jail. But it does not seem to be getting much news coverage. When I googled it, CNN was listed first and then – Teen Vogue.
On October 22nd 2017 at two in the morning the California Zephyr, an Amtrak train with about 175 people travelling from California to Chicago, suddenly lurched to a stop – in Nebraska in the middle of nowhere. The lights went out and the emergency lights came on.
The crew looked for who pulled the emergency brake and found Wilson in the rear locomotive sitting in the engineer’s seat “playing with the controls.” He was talking kind of crazy. Even though he had a gun and tried to reach for it, they were able to subdue him.
Wilson:
“I’m the conductor, bitch!”
The police from the nearest town arrived an hour later. When they searched him they felt something in his left pocket. They asked him what it was. He said, “My dick.” It was a speedloader filled with bullets. They also got the .38-calibre handgun it went with.
In his backpack:
- three loaded speedloaders,
- box of .38 ammunition,
- hammer,
- fixed blade knife,
- tin snips,
- scissors,
- tape measure,
- respirator-style mask.
He also had business cards from:
- the National Socialist Movement,
- William Davidson of the Covenant Nation Church in Oneonta, Alabama.
The National Socialist Movement (NSM), according to the ADL, is the largest neo-Nazi group in the US. It calls itself “the shock troops for the white race.” With the rise of Trump and his White nationalist talking points, they think they got a shot at the big time.
William Davidson is better known as Bill Riccio, a suspected paedophile and an infamous neo-Nazi even among neo-Nazis. He used to run the White Aryan Resistance.
Both NSM and Riccio are believed to have been at the Charlottesville riot. So was Wilson says his cousin.
Wilson’s cousin is also his roommate, in St Charles, Missouri, 21 minutes from Ferguson. He says Wilson started acting strange last June when he joined an “‘alt right’ neo-Nazi group” he found online. In August he travelled to Charlottesville with a home-made shield and a bulletproof vest. And most likely a gun too: he has a conceal permit and carries a gun everywhere.
Killing Black people: His cousin says Wilson is “serious about killing Black people.” In April 2016 he pointed a gun at a Black woman on Interstate 70. He was not charged with a crime.
On Wilson’s mobile phone the FBI found:
- “100 Deadly Skills”,
- “The Anarchists Cookbook”,
- “Poor Man’s James Bond”, volume 5, by Kurt Saxon,
- “The Ranger Handbook”,
- “The Ultimate Sniper” by John L. Plaster.
The sort of stuff terrorists read.
Behind his refrigerator in a hidden compartment:
- a bulletproof vest,
- a hand-made shield,
- over a 1,000 rounds of ammunition,
- ammunition reloading supplies,
- gunpowder,
- a pressure plate (probably for setting off a bomb),
- white supremacy documents and paperwork.
They also found 15 guns, two of them possibly illegal.
– Abagond, 2018.
Update (October 10th): Wilson has been sentenced to 14 years in federal prison. When asked why he stopped the train, he said that he was “going to save the train from the Black people.”

It’s not getting a lot of attention because he didn’t kill anyone.
When white men kill people, it gets attention. (Columbine, Las Vegas, etc)

How ironic, for supposed Black Identity Extremists (BIE), a phantom group penned by the FBI.They haven’t killed anyone. But conversely, they got massive corporate media attention. That’s Amerika for you.
They always seem to adjust the psychotic, criminality bar accordingly to justify the actions of white scum bags in order to justify their irrational behaviour. Huh!

Hmmm, I wonder why the FBI have yet to penned this group as a White Identity Extremist (WIE) militia? Never mind, … I figured it out.
