Halloween terror case against two 20-year old and one 19-year old suspects in Michigan will center around protected free speech

 From the story here:

... Like other terrorism prosecutions, this case is expected to focus on protected free speech, with one side arguing the defendants were merely expressing their views, while the other maintains they were planning to do harm. So far, the government has not produced any anti-gay text messages, social media comments or conversations by the defendants, whose communications and movements were being monitored by undercover informants and agents. ...

The FBI, which started investigating the Dearborn men a year ago, used undercover informants and agents to monitor the defendants' communications. ...

To date, the government has charged eight individuals in this case: five from Michigan, including two juveniles who are being prosecuted in a confidential process because of their age; two from New Jersey, including one man who allegedly referred to himself as the biggest anti Semite in America, and said he wanted to kill his mother's Jewish friends; and one man from Washington, whose plans to travel overseas to join ISIS were cut short by the FBI raids in Michigan. He was arrested at his home in Seattle, one day before his plane was to leave, court records show.

The charging documents filed in all eight cases, so far, do not show how the New Jersey or Washington defendants were allegedly tied to the purported Michigan Halloween terror plot.

It sounds like the FBI worked pretty hard on these young fellas for a long time to get the statements they needed. 

Why isn't co-conspirator 1 charged in the crimes of Ali and Mahmoud? Why the discrepancy of 2 arrested in the one story, 3 in the other?

Is it because co-conspirator 1 is the FBI informant who suborned these two into plotting a terrorist act?

And how did these young men have all this money to buy, legally by the way, all the weapons and gear mentioned in the stories? 

2 US citizens arrested in alleged ISIS-inspired Halloween plot: DOJ

Two men were arrested on Friday for allegedly plotting an ISIS-inspired Halloween attack in Michigan, according to court records unsealed on Monday. ...

The FBI was first alerted to the men after a 2024 review of one of the unnamed co-conspirator's phones. When that person returned to the United States, a Customs and Border Protection officer searched the phone and found "Google searches related to 'ISIS' and the 'Islamic State,' and pictures of what appear to be Co-conspirator 1 in military-style clothing with weapons," documents said.

While the co-conspirator was traveling abroad, Ali and Mahmoud participated in a group call "discussed traveling overseas to join Co-conspirator 1 and then later traveling together to Syria to join ISIS," the documents said. ...

Michigan terrorism suspects were plotting to attack Ferndale, feds say

Three days after announcing their arrests on social media, the federal government brought criminal charges against two metro Detroit men, alleging they plotted to carry out a terror attack over Halloween weekend in Ferndale, except the FBI got to them first.

According to a criminal complaint filed on Monday, Nov. 3, Mohmed Ali and Majed Mahmoud, both 20, are charged with having AR-style rifles, shotguns and handguns that would be used in a conspiracy to commit a terror attack and provide material support to the Islamic State (ISIS) terror organization. ...

According to the complaint, the investigation into the defendants goes back a year, and includes an undercover FBI informant who secretly recorded conversations involving a group of Michigan men who the government says planned and trained for months to carry out an attack in Michigan over the Halloween weekend. ...

Mahmoud and Ali are among five men initially encountered by law enforcement on Oct. 31. Three of the men were arrested and two were questioned and released. The men — ages 16-20 — were arrested in predawn raids in Dearborn and Inkster that drew praise from Michigan's governor, the state attorney general and the president of the United States. ... 

So the FBI's great Michigan Halloween terror plot was a conspiracy among teenagers to get together to smash pumpkins?

BUT YOU SAID IT WAS ISLAMIC STATE EXTREMISM!

 

Michigan lawyer says a Halloween terror plot that FBI Director Kash Patel described never existed

A Michigan defense lawyer is disputing FBI Director Kash Patel’s allegations that his 20-year-old client and four other young suspects were planning to carry out a terror attack on Halloween weekend. ... 

The investigation involved discussion in an online chat room involving at least some of the suspects who were taken into custody, according to two people briefed on the investigation who could not publicly discuss details. They spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. The group allegedly discussed carrying out an attack around Halloween, referring to “pumpkin day,” according to one of the people. The other person briefed on the investigation confirmed that there had been a “pumpkin” reference. ...

Since the 9/11 terror attacks, the FBI has foiled several alleged attacks through sting operations in which agents posed as terror supporters, supplying advice and equipment.

As usual with the fictions the FBI fabricates in Michigan and the Midwest, the so-called Halloween terror plot Kash Patel says the FBI stopped in Dearborn looks like another nothing burger

Reported by The Detroit Free Press: 

A lawyer representing one of five young men arrested in an alleged Halloween terrorism plot says the suspects are merely video gamers who engaged in tough talk online and recreational gun activities — not radicalized terrorists, as the FBI has claimed.

"These kids are gamers, gamers are weird in the way they talk to each other," attorney Amir Makled said to the Free Press following a jail visit with his client on Saturday, Nov. 1.

According to Makled, his client is one of five men ages 16 to 20, all born in the United States, who were arrested in separate FBI raids on Halloween, accused of plotting to carry out a terrorist attack over the weekend.

But none of it is true, protested Makled, who said there was never any plot to harm anyone, and that FBI Director Kash Patel jumped the gun in annoucing on "X" that the "FBI thwarted a potential terrorist attack and arrested multiple subjects in Michigan who were allegedly plotting a violent attack over Halloween weekend."

"There is nothing here," Makled said. "What they did was jump the gun."

As for his 20-year-old client, who remains jailed without charges, Makled said:

"He says they got it all wrong. ... There's no plan. There was no plot, and there was no imminent threat of a terrorism event in the state of Michigan at all. And I believe him."

None of the five suspects have been charged. In federal cases, the government typically has 48 hours to charge someone before letting them go.

According to Makled, the five suspects landed on the FBI's radar over their recreational gun activity. ...

Makled said this case reminds him of the failed 2012 Hutaree terrorism trial, which involved a group of heavily armed militia members upset with the government, and talking about committing all sorts of violence while "playing army" in the woods.

The defense in that case argued that it was all just talk. The judge eventually agreed and acquitted seven of the Hutaree defendants, just as the jury was about to go into deliberations. The defendants were free to go and the jury was sent home.

"This is like Hutaree 101," Makled said of the current case, adding: "I don't know what the government has yet ... but it's giving me those Hutaree vibes."

FBI Offers $50,000 Reward for Info on Two Assaults on Federal Agents

Republican Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin appears to have been involved in trying to get a slate of fake electors into the hands of Vice President Mike Pence on January 6th, 2021, but Pence refused them

The text message Senator Johnson sent referred to in the Jamie Dupree post on X, who has been all over this like white on rice since last year, see here for some of the receipts, was recovered by an FBI investigation into the fake elector scheme, which resulted in convictions of Ken Chesebro and Sidney Powell, who cooperated with investigators.

Apparently they gave up Kelly (PA-16, lives in Butler!) and the Senators. 

Johnson is presently screaming about being surveilled as if there had been no reason for it lol. It is said that Johnson accused Kelly in 2022 of mounting a fake elector scheme in PA in 2020, which sounds kinda like Johnson knew what was coming on all this and was trying to get out ahead of it by pointing the finger at Kelly to deflect from his own involvement. 

The blonde in the photos is an aide for Johnson who took the handoff of the fake elector documents from a staff member from Rep. Mike Kelly's office which had also been unsuccessful in persuading Pence to take the documents. They did this on the streets of Washington DC on January 6th.

The video of all this is damning as hell.

The Grauniad wants you to worry about a far-right civil war in the United States employing drones because of one guy on Substack found by one analyst with a vivid imagination

 Alarm: Far-right extremists eye drones for domestic attacks...

 

 ... the far-right American terrorist movement sees off-the-shelf or home-built first-person viewer (FPV) drones as a critical weapon in their own future war against the US government ...

... talk is commonplace of how these cheap drones are revolutionizing current wars and will be the critical tools of a so-called second civil war ...

... Multiple sources told the Guardian that the FBI has major concerns about the accelerationist neo-Nazi sect on the far right – one calling for an insurgency against the US government – and other ultra-violent actors in the same ideological space, eyeing the use of FPV drones for domestic attacks. ...

... evidence has emerged of military-trained neo-Nazis with relevant skillsets having pinpointed the drones as a potential tool ...

... [Joshua] Fisher-Birch first spotted the Substack and vouched for its credibility. According to him, the writer’s alleged background is not only “significant” but “violent white supremacist groups would find his drone experience to be useful”. ...
