Washington (AFP) – US authorities announced the arrests Monday of the co-founder of the notorious Atomwaffen neo-Nazi group and a woman he met online in the latest extremist plot to attack public electricity facilities.

The FBI said Brandon Russell, who helped found Atomwaffen in 2015, was arrested in Florida, after spending four years in prison for possessing bomb-making materials.

The woman, Sarah Beth Clendaniel, was arrested in Maryland where she had also spent time in prison for armed robbery.

Guided by Russell, Clendaniel had planned to acquire a gun and to attack five electrical substations around Baltimore, Maryland, the FBI said.

In February 2022, three men with neo-Nazi ties pleaded guilty in Columbus, Ohio to plotting to use rifles and explosives to damage power infrastructure in various locations.

In 2021 five men who allegedly had white supremacist beliefs were charged in North Carolina with planning similar attacks.

Probably an FBI plant with his SPLC or ADL girlfriend, hanging around with their local and state police informers “members”.

I have done some deep thinking on the state of the world. Here is my take. When “they” killed Kennedy they took over. They used the intel resources to gain inside information. They are Amazon, Google, Facebook, Apple, Netflix, etc. and used the intel agency access to grab the capital production. They made the market inefficient (economic principle) so only they had the inside info. Ever wonder why Nancy’s Daddy was a made man and the Bidens are so obviously organized criminals? We are run by organized crime and they control production, the government and intel.

Who attacks power stations..not right wingers.

Just curious what they thought they would gain by damaging small power stations. Did they think these stations or substations only powered black or Jewish households or what?

Or were they just being paid by someone or some group that would stand to gain from power outages? Like thieves?

I didn’t know there were any actual Nazis in the USA, outside of the Aryan Nation, and it’s basically just a prison gang and meth operation, not particularly actually political.

Usually it’s just feds right out of the FBI academy or douche bags like Ray Epps who are on their payroll.

It will probably turn out like the Whitmer kidnapping, with half the group’s members being FBI or informants, who instigated, incited, planned and funded the attack.

[Robert DeLong]

Could be.

[IYAS9YAS]

So, they’re democrats? All the Neo-Nazis and Skinheads I’ve ever heard of were Democrats.

[FreedomPoster]

Right!?

I mean, “Planning to buy a gun”? This is the USA. You go down to the gun store and buy a bolt action deer rifle. Done. I don’t believe MD has gone full blown CA yet, has it? That just takes a little money and a trip to the gun store. And a clean record.

Especially if one of them is “Wayne”.

[Vermont Lt]

Well, she had been in prison. That’s kind of a disqualifyer if she was in for a felony.

I laughed when I heard Atomwaffen. So cornball, only an FBI agent infiltrator could come up with that.

[FreedomPoster]

Don’t forget “and recruited a few room temperature IQ morons to be the fall guys for media headlines.”

Henry Mancini ruled the late 50s early 60s Hollywood instrumentals.

One dude and his skinny girlfriend.

Yeah, but they're "notorious"!

He was sentenced in 2020 to 5 years in prison for homemade explosives devices, according the the NY Slimes, so why is he even out on the streets?

The Feds aren't known for being lenient either.

[Kazan]

If they agree to fight for Ukraine, will they be exonerated?

[MarMema]

I believe it.

[MarMema]

We can send them!!!
