MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — White supremacists plotted to attack power stations in the southeastern U.S., and an Ohio teenager who allegedly shared the plan said he wanted the group to be “operational” on a fast-tracked timeline if President Donald Trump were to lose his re-election bid, the FBI alleges in an affidavit that was mistakenly unsealed.
The teen was in a text group with more than a dozen people in the fall of 2019 when he introduced the idea of saving money to buy a ranch where they could participate in militant training, according to the affidavit, which was filed under seal along with a search warrant application in Wisconsin’s Eastern U.S. District Court in March. The documents were inadvertently unsealed last week before the mistake was discovered and they were quickly sealed again.
The teenager wanted the group to be “operational” by the 2024 election because he believed it was likely a Democrat would win, but “the timeline for being operational would accelerate if President Trump lost the 2020 election,” according to the affidavit. An informant told investigators that the teen “definitely wanted to be operational for violence, but also activism.”
The Ohio teen, who was 17 at the time, also shared plans with a smaller group about a plot to create a power outage by shooting rifle rounds into power stations in the southeastern U.S. The teen called the plot “Light's Out” and there were plans to carry it out in the summer of 2021, the affidavit states.
One group member, a Texas native who was a Purdue University student at the time, allegedly sent the informant a text saying “leaving the power off would wake people up to the harsh reality of life by wreaking havoc across the nation.”

That’s a FACT.
Exactly.
And I doubt the *white supremacist* claim.
IS this a John Semens story?
No kidding.
The ‘media’ is such a joke.
I thought the FBI is not supposed to comment on investigations that are on going. That’s what they said about Punter Biden.
Is China making all of our transformers?
The FBI is really good at finding and investigating 17 year olds who make text threats.
A little Civil Disobedience being planned.
And there will be more.
And Antifa and Black Lives Matter organizations spread love and hope!
Didn’t hitler do this kind of stuff with the Jews?
Let’s see, dozens of Rs were drawn as rats the other day in the wa post.
Now, at best dubious claims are being made against groups on the right...
Probably down the line folks who don’t get this ridiculous vaccine will not be allowed access to certain things.
Then imprisonment for vague reasons begins
MISTAKENLY? LOL
From the article:
“...The affidavit says the Ohio teen put Nazi flags in his room,
but his mother told him to take them down...”

Sounds like a real bad-ass, doesn’t he?
And “nooses” in NASCAR garages. Don’t forget those.
So is the FBI.
They were 17 year olds. What kind of real plans of blowing things up do you think they had?
they are now officially a joke...I’m sorry I just do not trust a single word they say at this point. If I watched it play out in front of me I still wouldn’t believe it. The lies have been too many, too much. The corruption too in my face.
I will never trust another thing the FBI says.
FBI sting operation.
Real folks know if there is a “White Supremacists “ gathering, 18 out of 20 are FBI.
The FBI is childishly naive.
Knocking out the power grid is one of the first steps in beginning a civil war. They won’t be the only one’s plotting this. It would be relatively easy to knock out the entire North American power grid. Texas has it’s own grid. Of course, I hope this doesn’t happen. But it would be good to be prepared in case it does, particularly in winter.
