Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Monday that the FBI disrupted a “massive and horrific terror plot” by an anti-government extremist group allegedly planning a series of bombings against multiple targets in Orange County and Los Angeles, California, beginning on New Year’s Eve.
Bondi said the plot by the so-called “Turtle Island Liberation Front,” which she described in the announcement as a “far-left, pro-Palestine, anti-government and anti-capitalist group,” also “planned to target ICE agents and vehicles.”
Additional charges are expected to be filed against the suspects, Essayli said.
The FBI on Friday “intercepted a scheme by members of a violent extremist group we believe determined to detonate explosives at multiple businesses on New Year’s Eve," according to Davis.
The four people arrested, whom Davis said were “members of a radical faction of the Turtle Island Liberation Front (TILF), a violent homegrown anti-government group,” allegedly planned to plant backpacks containing improvised explosive devices “to be detonated at multiple locations in Southern California targeting U.S. companies.”
Carroll and other participants are alleged to have formed a Signal chat known as the “Order of the Black Lotus,” which Carroll deemed a “radical” faction of the TILF, and ultimately used it to discuss their bombing plot, according to the complaint.
In their Operation Midnight Sun planning book, the group is alleged to have gone into meticulous detail, arranging how they would split into teams and plant backpacks with IEDs along their “assigned buildings,” the complaint says. An “off ground team member” would be assigned to monitor police scanners in the event law enforcement was alerted or responding to their
In a search of Carroll’s residence, according to the complaint, investigators uncovered posters and materials associated with TILF, including one reading “DEATH TO ICE,” and another reading “DEATH TO AMERICA, LONG LIVE TURTLE ISLAND & PALESTINE.”
FBI Director Kash Patel also posted Monday that a fifth person “believed to be linked” to the Turtle Island Liberation Front had been arrested by the FBI in New Orleans for “allegedly planning a separate violent attack.”
Of all the things that never happened that never happened the most.
Yeah nah FBI has been fuckin up since they came in so I’ll take everything they say as BS until proven otherwise.
Death to ice isn’t radical at all now since you know they have been doing gestapo shit. So I’ll take as not extremist sayings.
I just don’t even know what to make of any of this?
The signs I could see being interpreted as a threat, but they look so lackluster, and made at the last minute… but they apparently had until new years?
What were they even going to use the signs for?
I’ve just never even seen anybody just walking around with a “Death to ____” sign except in movies. It just kind of sounds like somebody’s stereotype of what a radicalist sign would say. And then long live turtle Island, then as an afterthought they tack on “& Palestine” like they were making a Happy Birthday banner and realized they would run out of room before they could say what they needed to say?
And false flag attacks are as old as time.
I just wouldn’t believe the fascist regime. It’s like when that turdlicker Putin puts people in jail - he’ll call it terrorism, but people have just had enough of shitbrained losers fucking up the world and making it a shitter place.
I mean if there is any legitimacy to this whatsoever, it kinda sadly looks like a group of vulnerable people probably coerced or targeted with entrapment.
I thought that as well, but the one thing that makes it credible to me is that they weren’t part of “Antifa” considering how desperate they are to make them sound like the world’s worst terrorist group in the country. Still who knows!
This group sounds like something that would have been made up in a Hollywood writers room for a mid '00s comedy police procedural. Like someone who would have been foiled by Shawn Spencer on an episode of Psych.
Gonna need a more credible source on this one.
These are definitely not the professional artisan crafted signs with wooden handles Trump spoke about. And I’m not really understanding what planting bombs in random corporations of Los Angeles was supposed to accomplish on behalf of Turtle Island and Palestine?
Like if this is legit and not some weird set up, not to be rude but these people just seem kinda crazy.
Also is that a piss jug and an Arizona ice tea?
And it looks like maybe wet wipes, a bag of hot Takis and activated charcoal?
Are you sure these were dangerous radicals capable of carrying out a terrorist attack? Because this looks like when Gary Busy’s suitcase fell open on celebrity rehab, and all that was inside was loose coins, some highlighters, and chapstick.
FBI Director Kash Patel also posted Monday that a fifth person “believed to be linked” to the Turtle Island Liberation Front had been arrested by the FBI in New Orleans for “allegedly planning a separate violent attack.”
I thought it was in Lafayette? Like a separate attack on the same day or just very random unrelated but linked separate attack?
Just wanted to give a heartfelt thank you for posting the picture of Gary Busey’s suitcase.
I only watched the one season of that show probably a decade ago at this point, and that image is about the only thing I took away from watching it. Yet it’s a cherished memory.
Bullshit.
Unfortunately Blondie, you have no credibility. None.
