This is just a running laugh track of FBI bullshit. They found a Nazi, set him up with literally everything he needed to do a bomb attack from start to finish, then "caught" him the day before the election.

Also, note where our man Merrick says how they found out about this guy - "Confidential Human Sources". Not spooky spyware or anything, dude just told someone who snitched. Nobody talks, everybody walks.

I salute our brave secret police and their ongoing campaign to catch guys they convinced to do terror plots in the first place. At least this time they actually picked a Nazi instead of a socially isolated mentally ill kid or something.

    what is it with these people and blowing up the power system, did they hear Lenin's "Communism is Soviet Power + Electrification of the Whole Country" and get real confused?

      Edit: Wait I just got the joke that's good I like that

      Original post follows;

      Nah, the US grid is actually incredibly fragile, like to the point where it's hard to believe how bad it is and how vulnerable it is to very inexpensive, simple attacks. There's lots of reading on it and it's full of statements like "Attacking these seven substations would bring down the power grid of the eastern seaboard for weeks". Just wild, wild, how the fuck is hardening the grid against attack and general failure not an S+ tier national security issue?

      Here's kind of where it started. Back in '13 someone shot up a power substation in California and brought this all in to public awareness (and by "public" I mean the feds, the fash, and the tankies. I doubt anyone else knows or cares).

      This country really is hanging by a damn thread. There's so many of these critical security problems that aren't really being addressed, with new ones emerging all the time.

          Pretty sure everyone does at this point. It's been all over the net for almost a decade now and there have been several reasonably high-profile attack attempts by Nazis over the years.

          All the cool kids are working on cruise missile systems that you can shove in to a standard shipping container and launch remotely. Slap a few of those on to a giant container ship, get it to the coast, drop the US grid before anyone can react? Who knows, anything is possible in Hellworld.

      They like to fantasize about societal collapse to kick off a race war, and many of them have gotten it into their heads that a nationwide blackout is a good way to achieve this end. There's been similar plans among German Reichsbürger cells in recent years.

            Later we find out that the Fascists were secretly promoting liberalism the whole time (I know I know) because all their simulations showed that if they did an acceleration collapse thing everyone would come togehter and build FALGSC by the following tuesday.

          It's the German version of sovereign citizens. They believe the exact same shit down to "the state is actually a corporation" and their MO is largely the same as well.

      Real "Fight Club" mindset there.
