Patel gave some sparse details about how in the past week, 5 suspects were arrested on a plot to target the UFC fight night last weekend with a combined drone, sniper and shooting terrorist attack. Its unclear how far in their preparations they got, or whether they were still in 'aspirational' stages. But from a suspects recovered phone, a signal chat with 23 members showed discussions on how to maximalize casualties and the motive to kill 'capitalists', 'billionaires' or those linked to AIPAC. But rather than just idle chatter apparently some of the suspects had traveled to reconnoiter their targets, which doubtless is cited as an element of overt act of conspiracy.

Most people don't have access to the kinds of drones and weapons they talk about. I sure know people who do, and with the Ukraine war ongoing this is actually the second plotted drone attack on the white house to be disrupted, after Nikita Casap's conspiracy and murders, for which he was sentenced to life in prison just a few weeks ago. So maybe the drones are starting to become more accessible and its a real threat.

heard some talk awhile back white, house working on some kind of drone defense

Yeah, Sean almost made it fully in. Not invited for his stance on Trump though. Guy can be a racist moron and its freedom of speech but don't dare talk about a certain group! If you do you're off the political friendly list!

Did the devices have "Fuck ICE" in sharpie on them?

Ole twitchy eye Patel surely stopped something... Likely Trump doing a dookie in his pants. I'm sure Dumpy will make a spectacle out of it and consider it another survived attempt if he can stay awake long enough to talk about it.

Now u r just being mean! He stayed awake for most of the ufc fight.
Gotta give him some credit

In today's news, water is wet.

Why is the left so violent ?

Because they think that the world owes them something when they have done nothing.

They think the world owes them everything

I think its jumping to conclusions to assume its the 'left'

From the filings it looks like these are accelerationist boogaloo boy types, where far-right bends back around in the horseshoe theory to meet the far-left.
The suspects were identified as targeting Trump, Vance, Netanyahu, Musk and senators Blackburn and Cotton, and in their chats laid out motives like the Epstein files, data centers and a desire to 'jump start a revolution'
I think its more about these being the far-right fringes who were kicked out and opposed by Trump, who wind up basically allied and identically motivated with Antifa
Some were making pro-Hitler / anti-semitic comments, but again, that's indistinguishable now in far-left vs far-right lmao

The plot was apparently exposed because one of the people on the chat was a 19 year old, and his own mother turned him in, and thus the FBI gained access to the encrypted chats.
