Dunno, but am kind of curious how this “message” was intercepted” and how his “capability” was “confirmed.”

Most likely one of his new "friends" was a part-time FBI informant, or possibly an undercover agent.

On the far edge of paranoid conspiracy theory; there could have been a "handler", grooming this moron for an active mission. One which would have been heroically intercepted by FBI Agents and their local minions in the Flyover Police Department. Congratulations and promotions all around. Oh, and let's have some more funding for our department please.

No. That would never happen now, would it?

I have no doubts that they tried to snare “TEA Party patriots” but no one ever took their bate.

See sockmonkey’s post #51 for the details and analysis by an anti-terrorism site. Truly strange, since some of these things contradict each other.

The FBI was somewhat overzealous and extra-legal in their pursuit of information on the Weather Underground. They had good intel on them, but couldn’t put together a case based on admissible evidence.

Isn’t this precisely the kind of shooting that FReepers are always saying the FBI wants to occur, to further federal crackdowns on privately owned firearms, and AR-15 s in particular? Why did they intervene?

Saudi flag. Kind of weird in that context.

Probably the only stuff the FIB could find in the back of their van.

Deep Throat was sentenced to prison for what he did to the Weather Underground (but never served a day).

Meanwhile James Comeystain and other agents made up a witchhunt and lied on FISA court documents and not even a slap on the wrist.

The FIB is corrupt AF.

Accelerationism. Now that's interesting... Accelerationism - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerationism In political and social theory, accelerationism is the idea that capitalism, or some processes associated with it, and technological change should be "accelerated" and drastically intensified to create radical social change. Sometimes, and often in a pejorative sense, it may refer to the theory that the end of capitalism should be brought about by its acceleration. The French critical theorists Gilles Dele…

I thought that was weird, when I enlarged the photo and figured out what it was.

My first thought: “A militant Vaxxer???” (since there is no red circle with a line through it as a militant anti-vaxxer would use.)

But from an earlier post, he was on probation for drug use; heroin and meth. Maybe he was just advertising his proclivities.???

I think you could make the argument that the American Deep State is the spawn of J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI.

This seems unusual, uncharacteristic for any level of law enforcement; preventing a mass shooting. It seems the FBI prefers to let the shooting proceed in order to please their masters intent on using the deaths to confiscate all firearms. Either someone in the bureau went rogue and will enrage biden/harris, or else it’s all just theater ti restore the alleged good name of the feds.

Where’s some representation of the GOP in the photo? No contrived dem collage of terror and hate would be complete without it.

Aside from total fabrication, the only reason I can fathom for the bust is that he may have registered as a republican.

“You couldn’t get a better white supremacist if you ordered one from central casting.”

...unless you included his voter registration showing “Republican.”

(I’ll see your sarcasm and raise it.)
