Amber ALERT
Domestic Extremism Signs and Symbols Date: December 2018
Reference: 0555-NECC
This Amber Alert is issued by the United Kingdom’s National Crime Agency (NCA)
working in conjunction with law enforcement and financial sector partners as part of the Joint Money Laundering Intelligence Taskforce (JMLIT). The JMLIT has been
established to ensure a more collaborative approach between law enforcement and the banking sector.
This alert is devised with the aim of promoting awareness and bringing about
preventative action. We recommend you use this Alert to complement existing knowledge and support on-going improvements to your business processes and
procedures.

Overview
This alert is issued by the JMLIT Expert Working Group on Terrorist Financing,
working in conjunction with the Counter Terrorism Police National Operations Centre within the Metropolitan Police Service. It provides information relating to
signs and symbols often used by individuals linked to domestic extremism. It has been produced to assist the financial sector in identifying material which has an
extreme right wing (XRW), extreme left wing (XLW) or an animal rights extremist meaning. All information contained within this alert is provided for training and
information purposes only.
The information provided in this document is not exhaustive; rather it provides a general overview of popular images and terms used. All the information contained
within the document is available via open source.
It should be noted that holding extremist views is not a criminal offence in itself, and many of the groups listed in this report are not proscribed under the Terrorism
Act 2000. This alert contains potential indicators of extreme ideologies, and is provided as individuals and groups that adhere to or promote these views are
assessed to be at increased risk of offending, either in the form of terrorist offences, politically-motivated violence, or hate crimes. These indicators are
provided to prompt further inquiry by financial institutions, and to provide them with an opportunity to make a more informed assessment as to whether the SAR
threshold is reached in any given case.
What We Would Like You to Do
If you identify activity which may be indicative of the activity detailed in this report, and your business falls under the regulated sector, you may wish to make a
Suspicious Activity Report [SAR]. If you decide to make a report in this way you
should adopt the usual mechanism for doing so, and it will help our analysis if you would include XXJMLXX within the text and the reference 0555-NECC for this
alert.
The NCA would also welcome any information identified as a result of this alert
which does not constitute a SAR. Please email all such information to
[email protected]. Any information received in this way will be treated in confidence and will be handled in line with the data protection principles.
The National Crime Agency (NCA) is a national law-enforcement agency which leads the UK’s fight to cut serious and organised crime. The NCA Alerts process is
the way in which we provide information to non-law enforcement bodies including
the private sector to combat and disrupt serious crime. To help us to improve this service, we would welcome any feedback you have on both the Alert itself and the
information provided to you. Please email all feedback to [email protected] and include the reference 0555 -NECC in the subject line.

Information Report Domestic extremism (DE) mainly refers to individuals or groups that carry out
criminal acts of direct action in pursuit of a campaign. They usually aim to prevent or to change legislation or domestic policy, but attempt to achieve this outside of
the normal democratic process. As such, domestic extremists can also include individuals motivated by extreme animal rights, left wing ideology, militant single
issues groups and even violent nationalists.
The vast majority of people involved in animal rights, nationalism and political campaigns are peaceful. However, such causes have sometimes attracted
extremists who have resorted to violence and intimidation, sometimes in the form of solo acts of violence. In 1999, David Copeland, a neo-Nazi, carried out a series
of bomb attacks against gay and ethnic minority targets in London. His attacks killed three people and injured 129 more.
It is therefore important that frontline personnel have the knowledge and skills to
identify individuals who are linked to DE activity.
This report is divided into four sections: UK Groups and Logos, Language of the XRW, Financial Flows of the XRW and Language of the XLW / Animal Rights
Movement.

UK Groups and Logos Logo Group Description
port Azov Battalion The Azov Battalion is a neo-Nazi infantry unit
that formed in response to the recent Ukrainian conflict with pro-Russian Separatists. The Militia
has fought alongside Ukraine’s National Guard. German media has observed Azov Battalion fighters wearing helmets with swastikas and ‘SS
runes’. The Azov Battalion is intrinsically linked with the Misanthropic Division which is believed
to be both recruiting and raising funds for them. The Italian Francesco Fontana also has links to Azov Battalion (Fontana has been reported
online as attending the White Man March in Newcastle 2015).
Blood & Honour (B&H)
B&H is the international neo-Nazi music network, founded and managed within the UK.
B&H organises XRW music events and the sale and distribution of XRW material (CDs, publications, clothing). B&H organises eight core
concerts a year in the UK. The annual Ian Stuart Donaldson Memorial in September is the
main event, and attracts an average of 900 attendees.
British Movement (BM)
BM is a small underground XRW political movement which is based upon the principles of National Socialism. It is involved in the
production, sale and distribution of XRW material which can cause offence and raise
community tensions.
Combat 18 Combat 18 is a previously violent white
supremacist organisation which was formed in 1992. It has re-emerged after a decade of inactivity. The group has re-branded its logo
from a Nazi deaths-head (called the Totenkopf) to a more patriotic white dragon. Combat 18

Generation
Identity
Formed in France in 2012 as a youth movement
of the French group ‘Bloc Identitaire’, Generation Identity has successfully spread across Europe. It was launched in the UK in October 2017.
They describe themselves as “a non-violent youth movement that aims to highlight the need
for open and honest public debate about immigration policies, identity and the future of our islands and of Europe. We aim to preserve
the ethno cultural identity of Europe through peaceful activism, political education, and
community and cultural activities.” Their core concerns are:
Stop the Islamisation of Europe
Against globalization Stop and reverse the Great Replacement
London Forum A pseudo intellectual forum for neo-Nazis who try to pass off a respectable image by holding
discussion groups in high class hotels. The subjects discussed include historical revisionism, holocaust denial and nationalist politics. Leading
XRW speakers from around the world attend such events, including the holocaust denier
David Irving and folk musician Alison Chabloz.
Misanthropic
Division
First seen in the UK in early 2015, the group
appear to have emerged from Azov Battalion in the Ukraine in the fight against Russia over the annexation of the Crimea. MD is believed to be
recruiting and raising finance for the Azov Battalion.
National Action
First came to prominence in late 2013, NA is a neo-Nazi youth movement that has rapidly
grown in the UK, largely due to a lack of a competing youth organisation, and due to the use of slick imagery across their social media
outlets. They attracted national media attention due to holding ‘training camps’ under the
Sigurd/Legion banner, and their online targeting of the Jewish MP Luciana Berger. The group was proscribed in December 2016 as a terrorist
organisation. Scottish Dawn and NS131 were subjected to name change orders in September
2017 as being assessed to be the same group as National Action.
National Front (NF)
A registered political party widely perceived to be an extreme right wing organisation. The NF will conduct street activity such as marches and
leafleting, often in ethnically sensitive areas. They attract minimal support at the elections
which they contest.

Language of the XRW One of the potential financial identifiers of the XRW is the use of significant
numbers and acronyms, featured as the transfer amounts or in the payment references. For example, transfers of £14.88 being made between accounts or
transaction descriptions of ‘KIGY’.
Numbers
14 Words – ‘We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children’ – this is the overarching ethos of the XRW, coined by the White
Supremacist writer David Lane. References to ‘14’ or the ‘14 Words’ may appear in literature, speeches and art work.
The word ‘race’ is sometimes used instead of the word ‘people’.
2083 – The title of Anders Breivik’s Manifesto ‘European Declaration of
Independence’. Refers to the 200th anniversary of Karl Marx’s death and 400th of the Battle of Vienna.
9% - The projected percentage of the world’s white population by 2060.
100% - This is an expression of an individual’s pure Aryan or white roots. It is common among white supremacists. It is also a statement by white supremacists
on the need for a pure, white race that is uncorrupted by interracial relationships.
Letters are also often replaced by numbers which represent their position in the alphabet:
5 – In the US, this numeral represents the expression "5 words" which signifies "I
have nothing to say." Alex Curtis, a San Diego-based white supremacist who coined the phrase, believes that white racists in the United States should use the five
words to demonstrate a "code of silence" and to help avoid prosecution by law enforcement. The “5 words” in the UK are “we go where we want”. This was a
phrase used by a far right group, Pie & Mash.
18 – Adolf Hitler (1st and 8th letters of the alphabet). The number is also used by
Combat 18, a violent British neo-Nazi group that chose its name in honour of Adolf Hitler.
23 – The 23rd letter of the alphabet is W. Therefore, white supremacists use the
number 23 to represent "W", as an abbreviation for the word "white”.
28 – Blood and Honour (2nd and 8th letters of the alphabet). Blood & Honour is an international neo-Nazi/racist skinhead group started by British white supremacists
and singer Ian Stuart. It has chapters around the world.
88 – Heil Hitler (H is the 8th letter of the alphabet)
OFFICIAL

88 Precepts - 88 Precepts is an essay or manifesto written by David Lane. 88 Precepts is a treatise on natural law and is an expansion upon Lane's own Fourteen
Words.
311 – Ku Klux Klan (K is the 11th letter of the alphabet X 3)
420, 4/20, 4:20 - The anniversary of Adolf Hitler’s birthday is also used as a tattoo by racists and neo-Nazis, to affirm their belief in the ideals of National Socialism.

XRW Financial Flows The below chart (figure 1) is an anonymised illustration of the funding flows around
a UK-based right wing group that has been identified through SAR reporting from more than one reporter. It should be noted that this picture is not complete, and
significant intelligence gaps remain. These gaps relate predominantly to how funds are used once the right wing group has raised them.
The group is not proscribed, and so it shows the source of its funds quite clearly,
with no attempt to be covert. As demonstrated in figure 1, the group’s funds are generated by two main methods: personal donations; and revenue from internet
content and rock music streaming, music sales and merchandise. It is assessed that the group is dependent on direct and indirect marketing, with revenue generated
through direct marketing (advert hits on their website) being significantly less than
revenue generated by indirect marketing (music/merchandise sales through companies run by members of the group). It is currently unknown how close the
links between the bands and the right wing groups are. Additionally, the promotional companies involved have been seen to frequently change their names.
In relation to fund flows, the revenue-generating companies owned by members of
the group have been seen to receive payments from the political group, but not all the revenue has been channelled directly back to the political group. Direct
donations have either been made through crowd-funding sites, or through supporters who collect and aggregate funds. The funds appear to be disbursed in
three main ways: through payments to services that support the group’s internet businesses such as hosting and security services; through donations to other XRW
organisations (including some in Europe) and payments to directors. Visibility of payments from the main groups quickly ends, but there are clear transactions
between companies, officers of companies, and members of the right wing groups
that lack any apparent commercial or financial purpose. In addition, officers of the companies appear to use the business accounts for lifestyle expenditure, with few
controls in place.

with their beliefs. An activist will try to influence others to achieve their aims and may commit acts likely to result in arrest.
Affinity Group - a small group of activists, usually known to one another, who act
in concert to achieve a protest related objective. The strength of affinity groups emanates from their ability to keep their plans known to only a small group of
trusted individuals.
Anarchism - anarchists advocate the absence of the state, arguing that common sense would allow people to come together in agreement to form a functional
society. Most forms of anarchism not only seek rejection of the state, but also other
systems which they perceive as authoritarian, which includes capitalism, wage labour, and private property. Anarchists argue that anarchy does not imply nihilism,
but rather an anti-authoritarian society based on free individuals in autonomous communities, operating on principles of mutual aid, voluntary association and direct
action.
Anti-Capitalism - comprises of a wide range of movements, ideas and attitudes but is based on the belief that by different means, capitalism should be dismantled
and replaced with another type of economic system. Militant anti-capitalists believe that the end of capitalism can only be brought about through revolution.
Anti-Globalisation - being opposed to the emergence of a single world market
dominated by multinational companies and the globalisation of corporate capitalism.
Anti-Militarist - being opposed to the establishment or maintenance of a governmental military force.
Anti-War - not necessarily opposed to the military as a national defence or against
all wars, only the wars that the movement may consider to be unethical.

material and fund the activities of the organisers.
Bloc - a means of bringing together a group of activists, often representative of an ideology, protest theme or objective, most commonly within a march. Blocs can
often be identified by use of corresponding banners, similar coloured clothing or flags.
Black Bloc - is not a group. A black bloc is term used to describe a bloc of like-minded activists who are most commonly identified by their use of black clothing.
Black bloc tactics can often be both offensive and defensive and frequently involve confrontation with the police.
OFFICIAL
14 OFFICIAL
Convergence Centre - a Convergence Centre is usually a squatted venue or a rented space which is opened immediately prior to, and for the duration of a
significant protest action. Run by activists, these centres are used to educate and inform protest participants about intended protest actions, to pick up maps of the
area, find accommodation, attend workshops, eat, drink and meet other protestors. In most instances these centres will include space for accommodation. The centre is
usually abandoned by activists at the end of the protest.
Direct Action - occurs when a group of people take an action which is intended to reveal an existing problem, highlight an alternative or demonstrate a possible
solution to a social issue. This can include non-violent and less often violent activities which target persons, groups, or property deemed offensive to the direct
action participants.
Extremist - an extremist is committed to a single objective and is willing to carry
out any activity that will further their cause without fear of punishment or consequence.
Hierarchal (Vertical Left) - groups organised with a formal leadership, hierarchy
and membership. Decisions will be made by this leadership on behalf of the group and not by consensus of the entire membership.

Masking-up - a term used to describe the physical act of placing a facial covering
over an activist’s face to hide or obscure their identity from the police.
Non-Hierarchal (Horizontal Left) - groups organised so that participants have the same authority as everyone else. Decisions within the group are made by
consensus and can therefore elongate and sometimes frustrate any decision making process.
Non-Violent Direct Action (NVDA) - any form of direct action that does not rely
on violent tactics.
Nuclear Pacifism - opposition to nuclear weapons but not necessarily the military
or wars in general.
Peoples Global Action (PGA) - the PGA is an instrument for communication and coordination, not an organisation. It created a global network of communication
through which activists from disparate groups around the world can talk to one another and coordinate actions globally.

Rape – term used by animal rights activists to describe the artificial insemination of dairy cows to prolong milk production.
Skillshare - a means by which activists can impart their knowledge to other
persons, usually by means of bringing people together in a safe space and presenting their skills in the form of a lesson.
Social Centres - are long term community spaces. Also known as a free space,
social centres may be designated a "safe-space" where specific forms of dialogue and activism are encouraged and protected from police attention. Social Centres
also serve as open spaces for community interaction and may sometimes incorporate a café.
Tat - a term used to describe the reclaimed materials collected by activists prior to an event which will then be recycled for use in protest activity.
Umbrella - a term used to describe an overarching organisation which seeks to
coordinate disparate groups into operating as part of a campaign.
