He and other members of the racist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adl.org\/sites\/default\/files\/documents\/assets\/pdf\/combating-hate\/American-Front.pdf\">organization<\/a>\u00a0American Front were detained by the FBI in May 2012, for preparing terrorist acts against ethnic minorities in Florida.<\/p>\n<p>It was this background that led him to travel to Ukraine in 2014. The American fascist circles he moved in had direct links and regular contact with nationalist groups at the forefront of the Maidan, which at the time were hosting large public events\u00a0<em>\u201cnearly daily in every Oblast that wasn&#8217;t seeing war.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0As did far-right movements in many other nearby countries, including Finland, Georgia, and Latvia.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cIn case the world wonders what happened to all the real skinheads. They all went to Ukraine,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0McLellan said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It seems the US government approved of the presence of McLellan and others in Ukraine at that time. He says he got caught \u2013 it\u2019s not clear by whom or what \u2013 teaching Ukrainians DNS\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.okta.com\/identity-101\/dns-poisoning\">poisoning<\/a>, and the Americans\u00a0<em>\u201cwanted to sit in and help.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThey didn&#8217;t want names or anything, but they wanted to monitor the situation. Without this backing I would&#8217;ve been charged with violation of [the] American neutrality act,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0McLellan claims.<\/p>\n<h2>Unpunished war crimes<\/h2>\n<p>In 2015, an absolutely horrific video began circulating, which purportedly depicted members of the Azov Battalion crucifying a Russian resident of eastern Ukraine, then setting the cross upon which he was literally and bloodily nailed on fire. Around the same time, another clip \u2013 titled\u00a0<em>\u201cKikes get the rope\u201d<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 featuring a hanged pregnant woman and her husband, also proliferated online. It was claimed the pair were Jews who had been lynched by Azov fighters.<\/p>\n<p>Multiple Ukrainian and Western government-funded\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/mythdetector.ge\/en\/disinformation-about-the-crucifixion-of-a-warrior-from-donbas-by-the-azov-battalion\/\">factchecking<\/a>\u00a0websites, including the Neo-Nazi\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@zaborona.media\/neo-nazi-links-of-a-facebook-fact-checker-exposed-d1215dae6c66\">sympathizing<\/a>\u00a0StopFake, declared the footage to be fraudulent, and did so again in chorus when the gruesome visuals resurfaced widely following February 24.<\/p>\n<p>The Azov Battalion has also repeatedly denied that their fighters were responsible for either heinous act, although their defense was not compelling. It was simply\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/meta.mk\/en\/truthmeter-video-misinforms-member-of-the-azov-battalion-set-fire-to-russian-soldiers-on-the-cross\/\">claimed<\/a>\u00a0that the Azov logo on the murderers\u2019 uniforms was\u00a0<em>\u201cmuch larger than it should be.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The testimony of McLellan confirms those videos are very real. He in fact features in the crucifixion footage, and took photos of Tornado fighters posing with the corpses of the hanged couple. Though the pair were not in fact Jewish, and their ritualistic murder was too extreme even for his violent tastes \u2013\u00a0<em>\u201cI wouldn\u2019t have supported an action like that,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0he says.<\/p>\n<p>On the subject of Tornado, McLellan refers to the fascist paramilitary battalion as\u00a0<em>\u201cby far the most horrifying thing I&#8217;ve ever seen or dealt with in my life.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Investigations by Western rights groups concluded that Tornado inflicted absolutely brutal torture on captured separatist fighters and innocent civilians in the Donbass.\u00a0Prisoners were stripped naked, held in basements, and electric shocks were applied to their genitals and other body parts. Some detainees were forced to rape each other under threat of death.<\/p>\n<p>McLellan was involved in some of Tornado\u2019s savage\u00a0<em>\u201cinterrogations\u201d<\/em>\u00a0and suggests that\u00a0<em>\u201cthe treatment of such people is the same with the Russians, I would guess,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0in reference to soldiers captured since February 24. A number of Tornado fighters were eventually jailed by the Ukrainian government for their actions. Despite their rap sheets \u2013 including the rape of children, torture, and the cold-blooded murder of civilians \u2013 they somehow avoided war crimes charges, and typically got light sentences.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the battalion\u2019s founder, Ruslan Onishenko, a sadistic pedophile, received just 11 years in prison in 2017. He is one of several Tornado fighters\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/mronline.org\/2022\/08\/01\/these-are-animals-not-people-zelensky-frees-convicted-child-rapists-torturers-to-reinforce-depleted-military\/\">released<\/a>\u00a0from prison by President Vladimir Zelensky since the conflict started, and sent to fight in the\u00a0<em>\u201chottest spots.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Two different wars<\/h2>\n<p>Upon his return to Ukraine at the start of this year, Boneface enlisted with the Azov Battalion, and quickly became involved in the fight for Mariupol, which led to him witnessing\u00a0<em>\u201ca lot of heinous s**t.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>He describes the early stages of the battle as\u00a0<em>\u201ca lot of shooting at absolutely nothing, and a lot of soldiers not knowing what to do,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0and he felt that the citizens of Mariupol\u00a0<em>\u201cwere divided heavily on a pro-Ukraine and pro-Russian stance.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0During this time, McLennan alleges, Azov was in talks with the CIA and the Pentagon, which\u00a0<em>\u201cconducted intelligence operations during the war there.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"article__cover\">\n<div class=\"media\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/mf.b37mrtl.ru\/files\/2022.11\/original\/6378d0ba85f5403fc067391b.jpg\" sizes=\"675px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/mf.b37mrtl.ru\/files\/2022.11\/original\/6378d0ba85f5403fc067391b.jpg\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"read-more__cover lazyautosizes lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/mf.b37mrtl.ru\/files\/2022.11\/original\/6378d0ba85f5403fc067391b.jpg\" sizes=\"675px\" alt=\"RT\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mf.b37mrtl.ru\/files\/2022.11\/original\/6378d0ba85f5403fc067391b.jpg\" \/><\/picture><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>It is\u00a0<em>\u201cAmerican meddling in Ukraine\u201d<\/em>\u00a0that caused Russia\u2019s invasion, McLennan believes.
