"plotters who harbored fringe conspiracy theories"

What theories?

#3 | Posted by snoofy at 2026-06-16 10:26 PM | Reply

Linked at bottom is the sinister Trumpf junta's poorly written press release.

Just a few examples (there are others):

"According to the complaint filed in the Central District of California, law enforcement executed a search warrant of Roa's residence and vehicle where they allegedly seized a rifle...."

Law-enforcement personnel do not "allegedly" seize evidence. They seize it.

"More serious members of the group, including [Tycen] Proper, moved their communications to an encrypted chat app..."

More serious members? So, the other alleged conspirators weren't serious? Were they dupes?

Some of the five youngsters allegedly amassed a small arsenal. They were all busted in different states a few days before the supposed attack. How the five were going to transport their massive amount of ammunition, weapons, drones, and explosives to northern Virginia, secure a hotel room, and conduct their pre-attack reconnaissance has yet to be disclosed.

*** Worst Director of FBI in Global History Screws It Up Again ***

"USSS officials are angry that D/FBI Kashyap Pramod Vinod Patel prematurely announced on Tuesday the details of a largely sealed and ongoing criminal investigation into an alleged plot to attack Sunday's White House UFC event with drones.

USSS and FBI agents had been partnered on the investigation into a group of individuals discussing plans for a drone attack at the White House in the last week, and had discussed unsealing the case and making a joint announcement Tuesday afternoon.

The problem with idiot Patel's social media announcement was that the case had been sealed in court and roughly ten suspects had not yet been arrested and placed in custody at the time Patel shared his post. USSS and FBI officials were surprised by Patel "jumping the gun."

"We all woke up this morning to see this on Twitter," said one Trumpf junta apparatchik."

Wouldn't have been inspiring if a drone attacked during this gladiatorial exhibition, killed a firefighter, and allowed Trump to take a break from his nap to scream "Fight! Fight! Fight!"

Bloody ear optional.

Something tells me this "terrorist plot" was a drone fly-over that spelled out "86 47".

Prosecutors said in charging documents they had allegedly "expressed ultra-religious and antigovernment sentiments".

The group allegedly wanted to "jumpstart" a revolution by shooting "high-value targets" - identified as wealthy people and politicians - attending the UFC fight. They had specifically discussed "grievances about government corruption, the handling of the Epstein files, data centers taking up all the water in communities, and other government actions," prosecutors said.

Tonight I voted for my daughters I voted for a world where they will have free speech without censorship. I voted for a world will they will not be forced to compete against men in women's sports. I voted for a world where they retain their femininity. I voted in favor of deporting dangerous illegal immagrants so they can play outside without fear of being attacked or stolen. I voted for them to be able to use a girls bathroom with only girls. I voted to protect them from the evils that have strangled Christian values out of this country. I voted for someone I believed would keep them from having to tell a story of how their father, brother, cousin, grandpa, uncles etc were being forced to leave to fight a war. So when you aske me how a father of daughters could vote against abortion or 'reproductive rights' I'll tell you I did not vote to restrain theeum, I voted to stand with my God and voted to protect my children from the evil of this world. May God bless america and our troops I pray this election reflects that.

I guess that didn't go so well for him..LOL

Occupy Democrats has:

"The men arrested by the FBI for plotting to attack Trump's UFC event have been exposed as white pro-Hitler right-wing extremists who were targeting the Trump team for covering up the Epstein files!"

Epstein Files, killing pedophiles (per Trump's order)... is the same motive as Butler.

Maybe soon we'll find out which Cops they were texting before!

Groypers and neo-Nazis! Who would have thought?

Must be fun being white supremacist males with an axe to grind.

Thanks for alerting us, Snoofy.

BTW: One slight "Ahem" from a different thread.

"Hamas and IDF are two sides of the same coin" = "General Custer and Sitting Bull were two sides of the same coin."

Custer would be more akin to Black Hawk, in my opinion.

Hi Snoofy:

Our greatest POTUS, A. Lincoln, never saw combat as a militia commander during his tour against these indigenous warriors led by Black Hawk fighting against white Christian colonialists.

I shall read a bit more about Black Hawk.

Thanks.

Lincoln's face is on Mount Rushmore because of his effectiveness waging war against the Indian.

I'm just sayin!

If it's social media that starts with Occupy, Being, or anything like that, it's usually a foreign bot account as a misinfo channel. Even though it seems very likely, I'll wait for a slightly better source.

Hi Snoofy:

In all the books I read about A. Lincoln, I don't recall reading about him ever killing any indigenous warriors or discussing it.

So, that was the genesis of A. Lincoln's visage being put on Mount Rushmore?

Not saving the Union or emancipating the slaves?

Yeah. Mount Rushmore is a monument to the ethnic cleansing of this great nation.

Occupy Democrats has a Wikipedia page. It's pretty tame as extremism goes.

Don't let our nation's cultural heritage get you down, bro!

North By Northwest remains a masterpiece.

Alfred Hitchcock said, of the last scene, you know the one --

In the indispensable interview book "Hitchcock/Truffaut," the master observed this shot was "one of the most impudent shots I ever made."

Thanks, fellers, I feel a wee bit better now about Mount Rushmore.

Another train scene from a famous film when passenger railroads were still important (but no Freud):

Still not much more news. They hated jews and wanted to kill Bibi. That's a real toss up nowadays. They're multicultural, they got a brown dude on board.

A Missouri man promising he was building the group a bunker under his shed. That's definitely meth involved there. So much meth.

heard an UGLY ( of course ) white female radical prof tell Jim Acosta that the fight

SO IF A lonely..ignorant..trump hating..worthless dolt hears that enough he thinks that maybe he should go and kill trump because black people were hung for being black last century.
