Australian neo-Nazis, led by Thomas Sewell, are attempting to form a registered political party, the National Socialist Network, as a strategy to avoid legal repercussions and expand their influence.

The incident involving the arson at the Pennsylvania Governor’s Mansion, repeatedly referred to as “Shapiro’s Mansion” in the news, raises several intriguing points.
