Government Foils Skinhead Plot to Assassinate Obama [court records unsealed just before elections]

Skinheads planned to kill Obama and 102 others in Tennessee.

Federal agents have disrupted a plot to assassinate Barack Obama and shoot or decapitate dozens of black students in Tennessee, the ATF said Monday. 

In court records unsealed Monday, federal agents said they disrupted plans to rob a gun store and target a predominantly African-American high school by two neo-Nazi skinheads. Agents said the skinheads did not identify the school by name. 

A source in the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives told FOX News that the two skinheads, who were picked up in Crockett County, Tenn., were plotting to shoot 88 black students and decapitate 14 others described as non-whites. The source said officials believe the suspects were planning to attempt an assassination against Obama. 

The numbers 88 and 14 are symbolic in the white supremacist community. 

But officials could not describe how advanced or credible the plot was, nor could they say if they had contacted the Obama campaign. 

Jim Cavanaugh, special agent in charge of the Nashville field office for the ATF, said the suspects also sought to go on a national killing spree, with Obama as its final target.

"And now people are under the impression that this the the same plot just rehashed. It doesn’t seem to be."

I've looked all over trying to find the names of those involved in this so-called "new" plot. I can't find them anywhere. I'm wondering why, if the court records were unsealed, why no one has the names? I did find that this "new" plot was busted in Tennessee, and tried to find out where the three guys from the August arrest were from, but that info isn't on the web either. Anybody got any info?

This is the BATFE, they are just looking forward to unlimited power in the BHO administration. They get to pull more Wacos...

These arrests were made a while back. They had really done nothing but talk tough like the drug addled idiots they are...

Frankly, I will never trust the ATF.

When they're after my alcohol, my tobacco, and my firearms, what's to trust?

I ran into a "skinhead" type a year or two ago. He was very obviously a government informant/provocateur trying to accomplish his entrapment quota.

Is there a "skinhead" group in the US which is NOT primarily staffed with people on the federal payroll?

Wow! Seriously diseased filth there. As with the Columbine shooters, the usual suspects will no doubt blame this on right-wing Christian fanatics, though it is obvious the guy is a demented Christian-hating Satanist.

This is a different plot. Paul Schlesselman and Daniel Cowart are the new arrests. I found Scheleeslman’s Myspace page. He’s one sick fellow. I’m looking for Cowart’s now.

"The pair was arrested on October 22, 2008 by the Crockett County, Tennessee Sheriff's Department."

Couldn't have been such a big deal since it took authorities 5 days to make the arrest public.

...to rob a house but were diverted when they arrived and observed a dog and two cars at the location. Cowart and Schlesselman then dropped Stafford back off at her residence and then went to a local retail store and allegedly purchased nylon rope and two ski masks....
At 2 in the morning??

..The Defendants were arrested on October 22, 2008 by the Crockett County Sheriff’s Office.....
On what charge? (Not playing Perry Mason here, just wondering)

This appears to be a new one and not “recycled” as the title falsely suggests.

CNN wolf blitzer had this and it appears this is actually OLD just being released now as a distraction.

No mention of the 2001 audio interview with Obama demanding redistribution of money.
