[Just The News] he federal government has charged six individuals with conspiring to kidnap Gov. Democratic Gretchen Whitmer.
Charges unsealed Thursday showing the individuals contemplated a violent overthrow of the state government and had gone so far as to test explosive devices and conduct firearms and training.
According to FBI documents, the mini-militia began plotting earlier this year and was motivated by the belief that Whitmer was repeatedly violating the Constitution by issuing restrictive executive orders for the coronavirus lockdown.
Discussions in early 2020 included the use of 200 men to "storm" the Capitol Building, in Lansing, to kidnap hostages, including Whitmer. The group also conducted surveillance of the governor's vacation home on at least two occasions this summer. The plot was meant to be executed prior to the Nov. 3 elections, according to the FBI's affidavit.
Whitmer is expected to deliver a statement at 3 p.m. Thursday.

Given the sterling reputation of the FBI, the timing with regards to both 3-Nov and Governor Dearest getting slapped down by the MI Supreme Court, I'm a bit suspicious.
This will be a nice media bump for Her Governorship, and could provide the Dems with an alternative to the unsatisfying on so many dimensions Harris/Biden ticket.

Friggin' FBEYE moves on this in lightning speed at the state level yet here we are 4 yrs later on a National coup attempt and crickets. The Deep State is all powerful
Six men plotted to try to kidnap Michigan Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer at her vacation home, according to a criminal complaint unsealed today in federal court.
Four of the six men had planned to meet Wednesday to “make a payment on explosives and exchange tactical gear,” the FBI says in the court filin
The government used informants and undercover agents to thwart the alleged plot.
Through electronic communications, two of the alleged conspirators “agreed to unite others in their cause and take violent action against multiple state governments that they believe are violating the US Constitution,” the FBI says.
From this and some other similar tidbits, it looks like some anarchists (not necessarily PantiFa-flavored), who were heavily infiltrated by the FBI, tried to drag some random militia guys into their plot to kidnap/kill/annoy the Governor.
The random militia guys provide the newsies and FBI license to tag this as a right-wing plot.

If you look at their video... They are not right wing.
In other words, he’s ANTIFA
This is a video of Brandon Caserta, one of the ringleaders of the group of men arrested for a plot where the group planned to kidnap Governor Gretchen Whitmer. Caserta has an anarchist flag behind him and in YouTube videos trashes police. He’s not a Republican, he’s an anarchist. pic.twitter.com/J1vE2qGYL7
[NYPOST] A Florida man beat a girl unconscious for rejecting his advances while waiting in line at a Panda Express, police said.
Bruce Edward Gordon, 37, was arrested Tuesday at the Coastland Center Mall in Naples, where he claimed to cops the juvenile victim approached him in the food court without provocation and called him a "bitch" before throwing a cup of water on his shirt, WBBH reports.
Gordon, of Naples, said he then turned around and punched the girl multiple times in an act of "self-defense" before a bystander — the girl’s brother — hit him with a chair, police said.
But a witness at the food court who said he was in line at the Panda Express with the pair told officers the girl asked Gordon to leave her alone when he started flirting with her, according to the report.
An angry Gordon then called the girl a "bitch" before heading to his table. Moments later, he allegedly got up and beat the girl unconscious, punching her in the face and stomping on her as she was motionless on the floor, WBBH reports.
Gordon kept kicking the girl until her brother threw the chair, the witness told police.
The girl, whose age was not released by authorities, was later treated at a hospital for a severe concussion and injuries to her head, jaw, face and lips, WINK reports.
Her injuries are not believed to be life-threatening, hospital staffers told WBBH.
Gordon remained in jug on a battery charge Wednesday at the Collier County Jail, online records show.
The charge was upgraded to a felony due to a prior battery conviction, WINK reported.

/\ I have feared such a political transition for many years and have recently heard the African National Congress (ANC) terms "truth and reconciliation" in the media. Nothing good will come from all of this, nothing at all.

It's all about changing the ruling class. In South Africa, people were actually better off under the old regime. BUT the rulers were replaced with new ones. That's what the whole thing is about, and that's what it's about in America. You think they actually care about these criminals?

It's been eight years now, but if you want to know what sort of protestations are off-limits in South Africa, take a read of the Marikana massacre and mine shootings.
Investments protected, useful idiots now back to work. No more protestations.

Upset by that Florida weather,
But a Scotsman as true as the heather,
Gord was always at kirk...
When not looking for work...
And was getting his hairstyle together.

Meh. Was getting had gotten. Also...
Details on the "victim" are shady,
But she probably isn't from Haiti,
And showed her white ass.
Why's this obvious? Class?
"Cuz the press doesn't call her 'young lady!'"

For the Jews to stand up, in mass, in public, to protest is unheard of. This means it must be worse that we are being told. Jewish communities work under the radar, at a personal level, and in court, not with protests. This is crazy, again, it must be really bad. Now all we need is the proud boyz and Hells Angels out there providing security for the orthodox Jews in NYC.... 2020 will be complete...

Cuomo’s rhetoric shows an arrogance that he can project his power and will on the appeasing Jews. Before he did not get pushback but now the Jewish community is waking up and seeing that the governor is becoming a wannabe dictator. The pandemic has brought out the worst in a number of governors.

[AlAhram] The UN has warned that South Sudan is one of a handful of countries facing potential famine
The U.N. World Food Program says it is ``outraged'' by an attack on a convoy carrying food aid in South Sudan that left one crew member missing and three with gunshot wounds.
A statement says the attack occurred Monday as the WFP convoy of boats was carrying food aid to Melut and Malakal in the north to assist hundreds of thousands of people displaced by recent flooding.
The missing crew member is presumed dead, the WFP statement says. It does not give details about the attackers. Country director Matthew Hollingworth called on South Sudanese authorities to hold those responsible for ``this unspeakable violence.''
South Sudan remains one of the world's most dangerous places for humanitarian workers and one of the most precarious nations. Two years after the end of a civil war that killed nearly 400,000 people, roughly half the population is hungry.
The U.N. has warned that South Sudan is one of a handful of countries facing potential famine.
The U.N. and other aid organizations have repeatedly called on South Sudanese authorities to make it safer and easier to move around the country. Deadly intercommunal violence continues, and a peace deal signed two years ago faces delays in implementation.

Intercommunal violence. South Sudan should be broken into three states to end the killing. The Dinka will never live with the Nuer and vice versa. The Equatorial tribes want little to do with either. Thus you have three states: West Nile for Dinka, East Nile for Nuer and Shilluk, and Equatoria for the various tribes of the far south.

g - an ignorant statement. The Dinka and Nuer have had regular armies and fought Khartoum from the date of Sudan's independence in 1950 until the recent independence of South Sudan. They damn well know how to use modern weapons.
[Dhaka Tribune] Police in Habiganj have arrested one Saiful Islam in a case filed over the gang rape of a woman in the district’s Nabiganj upazila on Sunday.The 27-year-old, the second accused in the case, was captured from Minajpur village under the upazila’s Aushkandi union around 10pm on Tuesday, confirmed Nabiganj police OC Azizur Rahman.
Since the woman filed the rape case against three men on Monday night, he said, several police teams raided a number of villages under the union.
Saiful was arrested during one of those raids, OC Azizur said. He declined to reveal the names of the other two accused for the sake of the investigation.
"These criminals will manage to flee if we divulge who they are to the media now," he said, adding they were continuing raids to catch them.
According to case details, the woman was going to Majlishpur from Sherpur on a CNG-run auto-rickshaw on Sunday night. Rather than dropping her off at Majlishpur, the vehicle driver took her to different places after gagging her and tying up her limbs.
She was later gang-raped in an abandoned building in Aushkandi by several men. After taking turns in violating her all night, they sent her on a three-wheeler to a relative's house the next morning.
Later, some local influential individuals allegedly tried to cover-up the incident through an arbitration. When news of the incident spread, police went to the spot and rescued the rape survivor.

These people literally torture and murder generations for the crime of one, and while the people starve all these resources are poured into nukes, more and bigger missiles and subs and artillery and all these war cogs.
But here's the real danger, a parade.
Here is mighty North Korea army marching through the coals of Seoul as grids on the map vaporize and DM is like Watch Out! you may catch The Covid!

Maybe they should have their "superspreader event" in Sturgis, South Dakota. They are just dropping like flies after that. Countless BLM terrorists are dropping like flies, too.
[YNet] - Israel on Thursday morning posted 4,117 new coronavirus cases after more than 48,000 tests had been conducted.
The Health Ministry said the contagion rate now stands at 8.5%, the lowest it has been in weeks. Down from 13% before the lockdawn - too bad these things don't work.
