How A Sailboat Exposed a Dutch Cell of the White Supremacist Active Club Movement - bellingcat

A Dutch affiliate of the white supremacist Active Club movement has organised alongside the white nationalist behind a plot to expel millions of immigrants discussed by far right German politicians.

Members of De Geuzenbond have trained in combat at a pan-European gathering of neo-Nazis in Hungary .

Experts have identified the group as part of the Active Club network, which advocates for white supremacist fraternal brotherhood .

Geuzenbond has been linked to the Christchurch terrorist and far-right leader Martin Sellner .

Sellner was a central figure at a controversial November 2023 meeting with Alternative for Germany (AfD) politicians, where attendees reportedly discussed a “masterplan” of forced deportations from Germany .

Bellingcat performed an image search using Google with these photos and among the first results for each were images on an English -language sailing blog written by a Netherlands -based sailing blog.

A spokesperson for Noord-Brabant told Bellingcat that Diederik H.’s internship, which lasted six months , ended on February 1 .

The state had no prior knowledge of any connection of the intern with far-right organisations and activities.

A person who looks like the man in Merlijn 's Instagram profile photo — with similar grey boxing shorts — appeared in a June 2023 video of a Geuzenbond combat sports training session.

The Dutch name “ Merlijn ” also appeared as the mononymous author of a September 2022 article in the magazine.
