This guy tracked down a youtube channel of one of the arrested.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Perhaps I am giving too much credit from seeing too many movies and reading too many books, but I would assume that these sort of plots are penetrated by the FBI or others.  But then again Tim McVeigh pulled it off so maybe I am giving too much credit.

The article I read indicated at least one paid informant and I think they had someone who penetrated the group.

I could be wrong, it may have been the same guy (the paid informant).

Yea .... don't use 55 year old MAN FROM UNCLE SECRET DECODER RINGS to communicate.   Apparently facebook.... or twitter, one of the social innernetz sites,  reported them.

My guess is that the undercover FBI dudes that infiltrated the group were the ones that came up with the idea and the plans to implement it.

These guys may more anarchists than anything else and thus anti govt in general, one of their videos had the anarchist flag in the background and the guy was very anti police.

In the old days they just went after mascots.  Going after Governors might be a bit much.

It's part of the playbook. The FLQ kidnapped and later killed a public official.

On the radio the straight news broadcast (on WLS) it was being framed as "militia", "white supremacists", "Trumps fault".

Fake news has to be the most brilliant and obvious meme ever.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

I remember in the years immediately following the OKC bombing, someone suggested that all "militias" had essentially become government organizations since over half the members were government agents.
Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

If Michigan wants a reprisal shot at Dewine I'm fine with it.  Sort of like a penalty kick in soccer or something.

Instead of the booga loo we get the arrest of a "white supremacist militia" run by a an anti-fa type anarchist and paid government "informant".
