Self-proclaimed white nationalist planned mass terror attack, government says. [trunc]
Washington Post ^ | February 20, 2019 | Lynh Bui

A U.S. Coast Guard lieutenant and self-identified white nationalist was arrested after federal investigators uncovered a cache of weapons and ammunition in his Maryland home that authorities say he stockpiled to launch a massive domestic terror attack targeting politicians and journalists.

Christopher Paul Hasson called for “focused violence” to “establish a white homeland” and dreamed of ways to “kill almost every last person on earth,” according to court records filed in U.S. District Court in Maryland. Though court documents do not detail a specific planned date for an attack, the government said he had been amassing supplies and weapons since at least 2017, developed a spreadsheet of targets that included House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and searched the Internet using phrases such as “best place in dc to see congress people” and “are supreme court justices protected.”

“The defendant intends to murder innocent civilians on a scale rarely seen in this country,” the government said in court documents filed this week, arguing that Hasson should stay in jail awaiting trial.

I guess it’s not going to work out as planned.

Sounds like a nut case with some investigative encouragement.

The narrative is white people are bigger terrorists than Muslims.

Memes about whites carrying out the majority of terrorist attacks are all over the NPC social media world.

The sensationalist reporting of this is part of the 2020 campaign just as the Jussie Smollet hoax was.

Expect a lot more of thus narrative.

Funny how the FBI is up on this with salient details the press can report but couldn’t seem to figure out (or prevent) James Hodgkin from actually shooting up legislators.

Or Rand Paul’s attacker.

Or John Allen Muhammed (DC Sniper)

Its WaPo. Who knows what is true and what isn’t? It could be 100% false, and you wouldn’t know.

That’s how far our media has fallen

We used to have a white homeland. Then came Ted Kennedy and the Hart-Celler act and 50 years of self-genocidal indoctrination.

So, how exactly were the authorities turned on to this guy?

Interesting posts online or just part of the standard surveillance sweep?
