Base of Hate: Inside Accelerationism:
Violent NAZI THUGS Who Stormed Capitol Building.
You’re likely to see significant news coverage reflecting on what happened exactly one year ago in Washington, as thousands of people stormed the U.S. Capitol building.
The Fifth Estate 10 JAN 2022.
Many of those who rushed past security said they were angry about the vote underway inside that would formally validate the presidential election of Joe Biden and wanted it stopped.
But others had a more sinister motivation.
And that brings us to our episode called “Base of hate: Inside accelerationism”.
The movement is one that aims to disrupt and dismantle governed society as we know it. The Base connected people who wanted to accelerate that collapse. One of those men was Patrik Mathews, a Canadian military reservist now serving a nine-year prison sentence in the U.S. for his role in trying to stage a violent attack.
You will hear from another man — he infiltrated the group and has shared with The Fifth Estate exclusive access to hundreds of hours of screen grabs and audio recordings of Base members being recruited and vetted. We also have the first-ever television interview with the infiltrator, whose identity we are protecting out of concern for his safety.
As executive producer of the program, I can tell you we have had countless conversations about how much of that material we should air. We believe we’ve struck a balance between letting Canadians see just how vile and violent the views of groups like this are and why it should concern us all — while not giving these groups a platform they crave.
The group featured in this episode is now considered largely defunct and many of its members are in prison, but as host Gillian Findlay makes clear in one of the final moments of this documentary, the threat from those who share their views is real.
