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.

FBI entrants 2 people into attending a meeting of 45 FBI agents and informers in order to have a crime.

That would be my guess. The FBI is out trying to invent specific crimes rather than investigating existing ones that don’t meet the political narrative.

“US authorities announced the arrests Monday of the co-founder of the notorious Atomwaffen neo-Nazi group”

Which division of the FBI originated this group?

"The weird thing is, the US just gave an all expense paid endless vacation in Belize to an al Qaeda terrorist who was part of a plot to bomb Maryland gas stations."

True enough, and they just gave, how many billions of dollars (was it $10 billion ?) in modern war equipment to The taliban?

Not to mention the billions upon billions of our dollars and war equipment to the Nazis in the Ukraine...

“sentenced in 2020 to 5 years in prison”

It’s the New Math.
