The plot to attack the White House’s UFC Freedom 250 event Sunday involved at least 12 suspects across the US who adhered to an “accelerationist” ideology and hoped to bring down American capitalism, according to federal law enforcement sources.
The FBI foiled their plans by infiltrating a Signal chat group planning the explosive attack — with a parent of one kid in the messaging platform reporting it to the police, sources told The Post.
The suspects are in at least four states — California, Ohio, Missouri and Nebraska.
They were plotting to gather in Fredericksburg, Virginia, to launch an explosive drone attack on the White House and surrounding buildings — and then attempt to storm the gates of the White House, according to sources.
Sources said it is not yet clear how prepared the plotters were to actually carry out the attack.
Suspects from the 23-member group subscribed to the far-right “accelerationist” ideology — a nihilist belief also espoused by the San Diego mosque shooters last month.
Five people have been arrested in connection with the plot, which authorities first learned of on June 10, according to FBI Director Kash Patel.
Sources said more arrests are possible, and authorities are preparing additional search warrants.
One suspect was allegedly plotting the attack while in a mental health facility, the sources added.
Investigators learned that their aim was to take out “capitalist elites,” “billionaires” and politicians who received money from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, officials also told The Post.

Since when is anti-capitalism "far right"?
It’s difficult when you have to Google terms of these crazy people…… still don’t really comprehend the posthumanism role for them…….
"Far right?" Sounds like Democrats to me.
Storm the gates of the White House? That is a bad idea.
Now for The View, Kimmel, Hollyweird etc to say…”darn. Another near miss”. Their rhetoric Sickens me to no end
Standard media trope, everything is far right...
I just came across some of the screenshots. Looks like a bunch of morons planning some fantasy thing, but I doubt they had the capacity to carry it out.
Yes, and all their targets were Republicans associated with AIPAC. This is the Nick Fuentes/Tucker Carlson kind of folks, apparently.
That dude is 19? Looks 44
One suspect was allegedly plotting the attack while in a mental health facility, the sources added.

Hoo Boy. I fear the same unhinged idiots will double down for the real 250th 4th of July celebrations.
Why have only 5 people been arrested when there are 23 members of the group? Shouldn’t they all be arrested??
Said it on another thread: don't buy into a "far right" narrative, and don't buy into narratives crafted to use this incident to inoculate AIPAC from criticism.
Make Asylums Great Again
AI says it is not a right wing ideology.
This would make a fantastic movie, with the right director and cast, but I would be afraid of inspiring a wave of imitators.
Never.
The ones pictured look like genetic defects.
America needs to go full Pinochet before it’s too late.
