Patrik Mathews — a former Manitoba army reservist and an alleged recruiter for a neo-Nazi group — is facing new charges in what is described as the ritual beheading of an animal during a paramilitary training camp in the U.S. state of Georgia. At the end of the October 2019 training camp, which was attended by an undercover FBI agent, the members posed for photos, wearing tactical gear and balaclava hoods. This photo is from a Base training camp in Georgia in August 2019. Patrik Mathews is now charged with the killing of an animal in a similar camp there in October 2019. Local police and the FBI believe the headquarters for The Base's paramilitary training camp was a home and 105-acre tract of land in Silver Creek, Ga., owned by one of the other men charged.
