Discussion: FBI Arrests White Nationalist In Coast Guard Allegedly Planning Terror Attack

The stockpile doesn’t seem that big…but his intent and history is deeply frightening.

So, he was a skinhead 30 years ago before he was in the Marines, then the national guard and he is now working for the Coast Guard in D.C. I have a big problem with putting “former” (wink-wink) skinheads into services that train them to kill.

And then there’s his admiration for Anders Behring Breivik, the far-right Norwegian ASSHOLE terrorist who killed 77 people, a large number of which where young people, if memory serves, at an island camp. There’s a reason while vile and evil are anagrams.

We all need to be braced for this shit happening…particularly if donnie is impeached.

Don’t tell me, let me guess: a white male? So much for the “emergency” on the southern border. The real emergency is the fascination with guns and violence in this country and those who encourage such violence.

He only can shoot one gun at a time, how many does he need? Maybe a couple more in case the barrels heat up.

He just seems like the type that would have more than a 1,000 rounds, given his desire to kill humanity. I guess I am jaded after hearing the number of weapons and ammunition gathered by other domestic terrorists.

The Yahoo News story included this:

"On the same day he finished the target list, the court filing says, Hasson completed the following Google searches over the course of three hours: “what if trump illegally impeached,” “best place in dc to see congress people,” “where in dc to congress live,” “civil war if trump impeached” and “social democrats usa.”

“From January 2017 to January 2019, the defendant conducted online searches and make thousands of visits for pro-Russian, neo-fascist, and neo-Nazi literature,” prosecutors note in one court filing.

  1. I wonder if Janet Napolitano feels vindicated.

  2. This country is possibly close to embracing monarchy as a problem solver.

I seem to recall reading somewhere that it’s estimated that 50% of the firearms in this country are in the hands of 3% of the population. Gun hoarders, who need to be more closely examined…

I’m amazed that the drugs in this case turn out to be opioids and steroids rather than methamphetamine.

Yahoo has a quote from an “alleged” draft email that explains those searches.

Yahoo reports: "he outlined a stream of possible ways — ranging from biological attacks to bombing/sniper campaign - ‘to violently fight back against “Liberalist/Globalist ideology is destroying traditional peoples esp white.’

‘It seems inevitable that we are doomed,’ the email continues, with Hasson soliciting ideas for how he might ‘enlist the help of another power/country,’ such as Russia ‘or any land that despises the west’s liberalism. Excluding of course the muslim scum.,’ conceding, ‘I don’t think I can cause complete destruction on my own.’ "

Chris Hayes (also on hit list) notes on Twitter that it’s odd this was not announced by a US Attorney nor the DOJ. I wonder if any of the possible targets were given a heads up on this? This guy may not have been a lone wolf.
