Feds say they foiled New Year's Eve terror plot in L.A., Southern California
Source: Los Angeles Times
A plan to attack several Los Angeles-area businesses on New Years Eve was detailed, dangerous and already in motion, authorities said.
But as four people allegedly tied to an anti-government group gathered last week in the Mojave Desert to make and test several test bombs, FBI officials foiled the terror plot.
They had everything they needed to make an operational bomb at that location, First Assistant U.S. Atty. Bill Essayli said at a news conference Monday morning. We disrupted this terror plot before buildings were demolished or innocent people were killed.
The four people were arrested on suspicion of plotting an attack that Essayli called organized, sophisticated and extremely violent. They were all tied to a radical faction of the Turtle Island Liberation Front called Order of the Black Lotus, which FBI Assistant Director in Charge Akil Davis called a violent homegrown anti-government group.

'Radical Native American movement'--
If that were actually true, I would be tempted to support them,
although I'm just a white illegal immigrant to their lands....
Sounds more like a ginned-up excuse to somehow further rob from
or suppress the rights of the Native Americans....

(6,566 posts)Anyone with a foreign-named affiliation has to be suspect. Especially the left wing Greeks and their former leader - Anthony Quinn (d. 2001). You know him. The actor who always played Greeks, Mexicans, Arabs, and even a Pope.
Worse, he was a civil rights activist.

(7,477 posts)says about these people. If they're anti-government, militia, maga-types, trump will issue them a preemptive pardon while calling them "good, strong men." If they're NOT magas, he'll excoriate them and personally name someone to execute them.
Second, I've wondered when we jump into the next phase of what I call "cold war/civil war"... all the executions of "DEI" people, the mass shootings, the whiplash shootings happening every day. Guns are just so passe. We nod and tsk, tsk, and then go on to the next story. It's not getting their point across, so I figured they'd be going big at some point. Now is when we start seeing the Timothy McVeys come out from under the rocks and try to blow everyone away. It really is time to leave the country, if you have the means. And if you do, remember you friends and see if someone would like to ride along in your suitcase!

They don't know their butts from a hole in the ground. If it was anything serious the FBI wouldn't know about it.
