Six men charged with conspiring to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer

[Blimey]

This is crazy news. I assume it's true and they really were doing this.

I do suspect that at least a few of the guys were just aimlessly talking shit and didn't realize that a target was on their back because at least one guy was dead serious about it.

Huh. It’s a little too stereotypical, plus it’s on CNBC. Color me intensely skeptical.

Then they yelled "this is MAGA country" and grabbed some rope and their keys....

 

[fresch]

Yet Whitmer can hold an entire state hostage.

 

[Celt]

And Atifa/BLM talk about their activities on social media, then actually follow through by using incindiary devices and burning down cities and I dont see them labeled as domestic terrorists yet.. WTF!!!

Its broadly important not to say or do anything stupid in life.

Its also important not to say you're planning to do stupid things.

This has been a PSA.

“When I put my hand on the Bible and took the oath of office 22 months ago, I knew this job would be hard, Whitmer said at a press conference Thursday. “But I’ll be honest, I never could’ve imagined anything like this.”

Maybe try thinking back to what that oath actually was.

Without even reading the story my guess it will turn out to be much less than the headlines make it out now. That's how little I trust the press and the politicized FBI.

Trust the FBI?

apparently this is a true story.

my issue with this, is the "Michigan Wolverine's" are incompetent and let themselves get caught, stupid fucks

Yeah I think it’s closer to they were talking shit than they had gassed up the truck and we’re meeting on Saturday.

I thought conspiracy theories were all bullshit.

Curious timing, considering Trump authorizing the declassification of all Russiagate source material the other day. The Feebs have a history of announcing a big bust when controversy starts hitting to close to home. Supposedly had a guy on the inside, too.

 

[S&W Fan]

Aaaand she’s blaming Trump for being complicit and not condemning white supremacy. These batshit crazy fucking LIBTURDS just can’t help themselves. They continue to regurgitate the same old bullshit. Anyone with half a brain who can read already knows that that narrative was completely taken out of context. Do us all a favor bitch and quit. It’s obvious from your statement that you’re too scared to properly do your job.

FBI Announces Arrests of “Michigan Militia”, Actually Anarchists, For Plotting Against Governor Whitmer

FBI Announces Arrests of "Michigan Militia", Actually Anarchists, For Plotting Against Governor Whitmer... - The Last Refuge

By now the American electorate’s confidence in the FBI is hovering near zero. FBI Director Chris Wray has done nothing to counter a reality of institutional corruption. To the contrary, and factually, over the past several years the FBI have shown they are politically motivated in all their...

There is a short space in the continuum between totalitarianism and anarchy. Create the former and you will eventually devolve into the latter; it has always been thus. This current narrative is an attempt to frame a false perspective; meanwhile civics is no longer taught in schools – this is not coincidental.

The FBI will not call Antifa a domestic terror group; yet the FBI will proclaim any “militia” as a domestic threat or “extremist group”. The FBI definition of a “threat” is through the prism of big government preservation. That perspective is part of the problem.

   That guy in the video has an antifa flag behind him. This ‘militia” is antifa. Here’s the same flag in Portland: https://amac.us/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/antifa-protest-angry-500×334.jpg

Narrative change was needed. This is the right wing extremest.

Wow! This is big. Brandon Caserta, one of the ringleaders of the group of men arrested for a plot where the group planned to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, hated President Trump too!

Brandon Caserta, one of anarchists who was arrested for plotting to kidnap Whitmer, actually hates President Trump and is on video calling Trump a “tyrant.”

“Trump is not your friend dude,” Caserta said.



He says Trump is “a tyrant” and calls President Trump an “enemy.”

Outrageous! Joe Biden Smears President Trump after Trump-Hating Anarchist Arrested in Whitmer Kidnap Plot

Brandon Caserta The FBI announced on Thursday during a press conference that it thwarted a plot by a so-called “right-wing militia” to kidnap and kill Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and overthrow the state government. Early Thursday morning, federal agencies raided a house in Hartland...

Yep.
This is the biggest concern for any "militia" type groups. You always have to worry about infiltraitors/agitators.

If these guys were talking about it online I have to wonder about the seriousness of it. Everyone SHOULD know that anything online related to guns is monitored.

 

[livingston]

Lets see ..... Kidnap a governor ... Then the government will give us part of a state... and nothing will happen. Who ever dreamed this up was high on drugs.... Perhaps some Hollywood out of work liberal playwright wrote the story for the FBI... First Biden mentions white supremacist at the debate and what do you know .... less than 2 weeks later we have a full blown revolution.. Right on cue.... Sure keeps hunter out of the news cycle... Along with .. Packing the court, Fracking, destroying the 2nd ... Just think back ... What a month ago it was declared that white supremacist were one of the biggest threats we have in the United States.
DHS draft document: White supremacists are greatest terror threat

DHS draft document: White supremacists are greatest terror threat

The documents are slightly different drafts of the same annual threat assessment, which is not yet published.

All of us on this forum were scratching our heads saying WTF...Where did this come from... what about Antifa ... Burning and looting and killing trump supporters... ....

Now here we are ... Top story on every news cycle ...Right on cue....

 

[Celt]

Its all projection. They put labels on the right what they themselves are doing on the left. They know that a large enough % of the population will believe them and take action because of their words. The media pushes their agenda while silencing the facts and truth on the right. All in the name of divide and conquer.

 

[holdover]

The guy has an antifa flag on the wall , Hates Trump says everyone in government is your enemy.

Anonymous neighbors said Barry Croft was a constitutionalist.


Neighbors of Barry Croft described him as a "conservative constitutionalist."

So it wasn't the FBI which had infiltrated the group which said it , it was the Anonymous neighbors .Ok

Suspect in Whitmer Plot Was Pardoned by Democrat Governor of Delaware Last Year

The Hill reported:

Delaware Gov. John Carney (D) last year signed the pardon of one of the men accused this week of plotting to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D), the Delaware News Journal first reported.
Carney in April 2019 signed off on the pardon for Barry Gordon Croft Jr., who faced a series of charges in Delaware during the mid-1990s, including possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, assault and burglary.
A spokesman for Carney said in a statement that the governor called Croft’s federal charges “disturbing” and called for everyone involved with the kidnapping plot in Michigan to be “prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law

 

[holdover]

Why in Gods name would the gov, pardon him? Makes no sense.

He was pardoned last year for crimes he did in the 90's??? Statues of limitations didn't apply?
