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.

Variants of Accelerationism
Accelerationism can be divided into several distinct perspectives:
Left-Wing Accelerationism
Focus: Embraces capitalist technology and infrastructure to overcome stagnation in capitalism.
Goal: Aims to use technological advancements to create a more equitable society.
Right-Wing Accelerationism
Focus: Often associated with extremist ideologies, including white supremacy.
Goal: Seeks to hasten societal collapse to establish a new order based on ethnonationalism.(Ethnonationalism is a form of nationalism where the identity of a nation is defined primarily by ethnicity, emphasizing shared heritage, language, and ancestry. It often leads to the belief that ethnic groups are entitled to self-determination, which can result in exclusionary practices against those of different ethnicities.)
Militant Accelerationism
Focus: Involves the use of violence to provoke societal breakdown.
Goal: Aims to create chaos that leads to the replacement of current systems with new power structures.
Key Concepts
Capitalism and Technology: Accelerationism argues that capitalism’s inherent contradictions can be radicalized to bring about change.
Social Transformation: Proponents believe that embracing rapid change, despite potential suffering, can ultimately lead to a better future for humanity.
Historical Context
Accelerationism has roots in philosophical discussions from the late 20th century, influenced by thinkers like Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari. It gained renewed attention in the 2010s, with various interpretations emerging across the political spectrum.
Understanding accelerationism requires recognizing its complex and often contradictory nature, as it encompasses a wide range of ideologies and goals.
I know many people hate us and Trump. I just distrust supposed thwarted plots trumpeted by the FBI. The FBI is an evil, crooked organization.
I have noticed (unless it is my imagination) that the New York Post has been moving left recently (last couple of years?!).
Did’t it used to be more conservative?
"including both left-wing and right-wing variants"
The may not be capable of successfully pulling off their plans but juveniles, deviants and idiots will still try, and sometimes they do some damage and kill someone before they go down, such as the bunch of pervs that set up the ambush of agents at the ICE holding facility in Texas. I think those were accelerationists too- a cell of young gay folks who formed around an Asian illegal named Song.
The others may be in other countries but participated on social media.
Kind of a tipoff that the entire thing might be bogus.
Just kill them.
Anyone who openly wants to overthrow Capitalism in the US is an insurrectionist and should be shot.
We do capitalism.....you want something else, move.
Capitalism is the worst most unjust economic system there is or has been except for all the others.
One suspect was allegedly plotting the attack while in a mental health facility, the sources added.
There is left wing and right wing versions. You can bet they will call it right wing.
“Accelerationist”.....sounds like some sort of explosive device!
Hint for anti-government groups - the guy pushing for violence is the fed.
I’m guessing the other 18 are FBI,CIA and other intel groups.
I thought “accelerationist ideology” was the notion that conflict is almost here, and the desire to produce the spark that ignites it.
There are certainly plenty of them in Maine
Sounds a lot like the “sovereign citizens” and “Republic of Texas” types I see in municipal court: they spout nonsensical terms and ridiculous legal theories that waste my time having to look them up on the off chance they might have swerved into something cogent. They never do.
Me tal health facilities are great places to hide.
