A violent, white supremacist ideology is spreading around the world, with believers trying to create chaos, in order to seize control.
When recruitment posters for a group calling itself The Base start to appear in Manitoba, Winnipeg Free Press journalist Ryan Thorpe decides to go undercover...and infiltrate.
Ryan meets with a Canadian Armed Forces reservist trying to establish a local neo-Nazi cell, and discovers that he is planning attacks and destruction abroad.
This six-part series follows the extraordinary case through Ryan’s perspective as an infiltrator - while host Michelle Shephard, a veteran national security journalist, explores the rise of white supremacist accelerationism.

Customer Reviews
Interesting and worth a listen
The host exposes how these groups are started and run by broken people without sensationalizing their hate
State-funded propaganda
Not sure why people take any media funded by a state seriously. This is the Canadian Al Jazeera or the Canadian Telesur. Everyone should be highly skeptical of all political CBC work as it fundamentally exists to serve state interests — this is not unique to this podcast.
The most absurd premise I have ever heard
Yikes are we back in 1960. What a bunch of hate and propaganda trust the CBC
