Indicted NY Republican had trove of illegal guns and fake federal agent badges in his house: report







Brian Downey (Facebook/Department of Homeland Security Investigations).
On Wednesday, the Daily Voice reported that Brian Downey, the deputy mayor of Airmont, New York, has been arrested on weapons and forgery charges after police found a trove of unregistered guns and fake federal agent badges in his house.

"Investigators reported a startling discovery when they showed up with a search warrant last week at the home of Brian Downey, a 47-year-old Republican who was elected deputy mayor of the village of Airmont in 2019," reported Jerry DeMarco. "Downey was taken into custody after no fewer than 16 unregistered assault weapons and 13 illegal silencers were found, along with 'numerous federal badges and credentials' bearing his name, along with 'four FBI patches that could be sewn onto a uniform or chest,' a complaint on file in US Southern District Court of New York in Manhattan."

Downey, who first came under federal investigation after he was caught trying to buy an illegal suppressor, reportedly told authorities he did not remember the combination to the lockbox where several of these illegal items were discovered when they showed up at his house with a warrant.

He maintains he acts lawfully as a "peace officer" even though he is not authorized to have these weapons or badges. He has worked as a part-time court officer and is licensed as an armed guard in New York.

Downey was charged with 11 felonies last week in connection with this investigation.

So, an actual physical attack to intimidate a political candidate is less serious than a politician posessing guns and badges in apparent violation of law (none of which he did anything illegal with by the way) in anon's studied opinion.

Truly, anon continues to impress!

 

Shoulda just let it go and move on.
Your stupid is showing again.

Calling the attack on a political candidate "just an egg" is akin to calling 9/11 "bad navigation".

Really, for once listen, and just sit the fuck down.

 

FBI is on the case!

Ex-Marines in neo-Nazi terror cell planned to attack power grid as precursor to assassination campaign: government

A neo-Nazi terror cell enmeshed in the US Marine Corps made plans to attack the power grid last fall, hoping the could set the stage to carry out assassinations in their quest to create a white ethno-state, according to a new indictment issued last month.

Arrests in the government's takedown of the terror cell, whose members called themselves "BSN," began in October 2020, starting with founders Liam Montgomery Collins and Paul James Kryscuk, and gradually expanding to include three others through June 2021. Collins and Kryscuk were initially charged with surreptitiously manufacturing and transporting firearms for profit, but in November 2020, a superseding indictment charged them with manufacturing and shipping firearms, including suppressors, "with the intention that they be used unlawfully in the furtherance of civil disorder." As has previously been reported, members fantasized about shooting Black Lives Matter protesters in Boise, Idaho in the summer of 2020.

The most recent indictment, handed down on Aug. 18, adds a new charge of conspiracy to sabotage an energy facility. The purpose, according to the government was "to attack the power grid both for the purpose of creating general chaos and to provide cover and ease of escape in those areas in which they planned to undertake assassinations and other desired operations to further their goal of creating a white ethno-state."

Alicia Garza and Patrisse Cullors, the co-founders of Black Lives Matter, have previously disclosed that the FBI notified them in October 2020 that their names were found on a list in Kryscuk's home in Boise around the time of his arrest.


Alicia Garza
@aliciagarza
The FBI visited my house today. They arrested a man in Idaho on weapons charges who they believe was affiliated with white supremacist groups. They found my name on a list in his home, alongside others.
2:00 PM · Oct 23, 2020

Kryscuk, the only member of the terror cell without military experience, moved to Boise from the New York City area in early 2020, according to the government. Jordan Duncan, a Marine Corps veteran who is also charged in the conspiracy, joined him there in September 2020 and began working as a contractor for the US Navy in Idaho, while Kryscuk sought work as a private prison guard. Collins finished his Marine Corps service in September, and arrived in Boise the following month.

Three BSN members — Kryscuk, Duncan and Joseph Maurino, then a member of the New Jersey National Guard — met earlier in Boise in July 2020 for what the government describes as "live-fire weapons training."

That month, in an Instagram chat, Kryscuk recommended to Duncan that he "follow BLM Boise" to gain intel from their social media.

Twice over the summer — on July 21 and Aug. 18 — the government alleges, Kryscuk surveilled BLM rallies by parking within eyesight and then slowly driving around the rallies.

Records from Kryscuk and Duncan's Instagram accounts that were pulled by the feds capture a chilling exchange between the two as they casually fantasized about shooting protesters on Oct. 1, only two weeks before a grand jury indicted Kryscuk.

Duncan: "How the BSNs finna be pulling up to chipotle after hitting legs."

Kryscuk: "Death squad…. Assassins creed hoodies and suppressed 22 pistols."

Duncan: "People freaking tf out."

Kryscuk: "About what?"

Duncan: "The end of democracy."

Kryscuk: "One can hope."

The most recent indictment also provides specific details about BSN's preparations to target the power grid, alleging that Collins, Kryscuk and Maurino studied a previous attack by an unknown group that "used assault rifles in an attempt to explode a power substation." A fifth member, Justin Hermanson, allegedly showed a man — identified only as "MW" in court documents — "an animated reenactment of that attack, and told MW that if his group would manage to blow up one of these substations, it would take down the entire regional or coastal power grid and cause chaos for the country."

Collins, Kryscuk, Duncan and Maurino discussed using homemade thermite — described as "a combination of metal powder and metal oxide which burns at temperatures over 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit" — to "burn through and destroy power transformers." The government also alleges that Collins, BSN's acknowledged leader, asked Hermanson and MW to Tannerite, a brand of binary explosive that is an ingredient in thermite.

The government alleges that Kryscuk had a list of transformers, substations and other components of the power grid at about a dozen different Idaho and neighboring states on Oct. 20, around the time of his arrest.

Google images submitted as evidence by the government in the case depict three sites in Portland, Ore. and California's Bay Area. They include what appears to be an electrical substation on the Willamette River in Portland; the Zenith Energy terminal, a petroleum storage facility in Portland; and the Menlo Park Rescue site, a shuttered facility next to the Dumbarton Bridge linking Menlo Park to Fremont, in California. The Google images, along with other exhibits, were obtained by Raw Story from a federal courthouse in Wilmington, NC, part of the Eastern District of North Carolina, where the case is charged.

The defendants are set to be arraigned on the new charges in federal court in Wilmington in January.

'Think of it as a modern-day SS'

Liam Montgomery Collins and Paul James Kryscuk, the two earliest members of BSN, met on Iron March, a neo-Nazi online forum founded by Russian nationalist Alexander "Slavros" Mukhitdinov, in 2011. The forum shut down without explanation in November 2017. Two years later, anonymous researchers leaked the entire history of chats, and a website associated with the @JewishWorker Twitter account was set up to provide a searchable database of the contents. In its day, Iron March provided a forum to connect violent racists and allow them to meet up in real life. Participants in the forum, including future members of AtomWaffen and Vanguard America, embraced an accelerationist strain of white supremacy that rejects political solutions and calls for violent insurrection to bring about a race war. AtomWaffen is tied to multiple murders. A man who rallied with Vanguard America at the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Va. drove his car into a crowd of anti-racist marchers, murdering Heather Heyer; a splinter group from Vanguard America rebranded itself as Patriot Front.

Collins and Kryscuk's initial meeting on Iron March in February 2017 began with the two men disclosing their respective ethnicities and religious affiliations.

"New Jersey here," Collins wrote. "What's your ethnicity? Also denomination?"

"Irish and Ukrainian," Kryscuk responded. "Traditional Catholic."

"Interesting lol," Collins wrote. "I'm Irish and Polish. Also a Traditionalist Catholic myself. What part of NYC are you in?"

"I'm a bit north of it in Westchester County."

Unmentioned in his exchange with Collins on Iron March, Kryscuk had been working as a porn actor under the name of "Pauly Harker" since 2009. Several of the films that feature Kryscuk "degrade Black women, according to websites that track abusive porn," HuffPost has reported. Contrasting with his work as a porn actor, Kryscuk would adopt a religious nickname — "Deacon" — when he joined BSN, while Collins called himself "Disciple."

From the start, Collins' goal was to assemble a neo-Nazi commando group comprised of men with military experience.

"I live in the Northeast, so I have a tightknit crew of ex-Mil and Security I train with," Collins wrote on Iron March in August 2017. "We do hikes, gym sessions, live firing exercises, and we eventually plan to buy a lot of land. Can't really specify the name or details because it's an inner-circle thing, but it will serve its purpose when the time comes. Think of it as a modern-day SS."

As he noted to another member of the forum, Collins entered Marine Corps Basic Training at Parris Island in South Carolina that same month.

"I have a friend in AtomWaffen who's at Ft. Hood with the Army Engineers at the moment," Collins added. "He was in OEF. He's on this site too, I can give you a way of contacting him if you want. If only you were up by me, I really need an intel/radio guy for my own group at the moment. The only fascists I roll with are ex-military."

That wasn't exactly true.

Two days after meeting Kryscuk on Iron March in February, Collins asked him if he was interested in meeting up with other fascists in the tri-state area and whether he drove. Then he asked: "And do you have any prior/future military experience or ambitions?"

"I'm definitely interested," Kryscuk responded. "Yes, I drive. I was never in the military nor would I consider joining. However, I do have extensive training in firearms and martial arts."

Collins was pleased.

"You seem to share a lot in common with me and my compatriots," he told Kryscuk. "I like the hard-headed attitude. A lot of people don't share the same vision as people like us. We're militants, not intellectuals."

At Collins urging, Kryscuk set up a Facebook account so he could join a private group to get "briefed."

In a post on Iron March cited by the government, Collins revealed that he planned to play a long game.

"I'll be in the USMC for 4 years while my comrades work on the group's physical formation," he wrote. "It will take years to gather all the experience and intelligence that we need to utilize — but that's what makes it fun."

Although he eschewed military service, Kryscuk had a similar vision, as he outlined to Collins on Iron March in February 2017: "First order of business is knocking down The System, mounting it and smashing its face until it has been beaten past the point of death… eventually we will bring the rifles out and go to work. I believe the System is killing itself organically and it will collapse sooner than later. It is our duty to weaken it and encourage its collapse as much as possible. When that happens, we will have to hit the streets and strike as many blows to the remaining power structure as we can to keep it on the ropes, work our punches to the body, and make it drops its hands so we can set up that big kiss goodnight on the chin and turn its lights out for good. If you consider yourself a revolutionary, you know what to do when the time comes. Remember, forget the pawns and go for the knights, kings and queens."

While assigned to Camp LeJeune in North Carolina, Collins recruited Jordan Duncan and Justin Wade Hermanson to BSN.

In Duncan, Collins fulfilled his goal of finding "an intel/radio guy."

While assigned to the 2d Radio Battalion at Camp LeJeune in 2017 and 2018, the government alleges, Duncan "gathered a library of information, some military-owned and some publicly available, regarding various weaponry, to include firearms, explosives, and even nerve toxins."

The BSN members lavished praise on Collins for his effort and leadership.

"Disc has definitely sacrificed the most and contributed the most for the cause," Kryscuk wrote in an Instagram chat submitted into evidence by the government last December. "Added 3 leathernecks and got us tons of gear and training while suffering in the Corps for years."

Between November 2017 and August 2020, the government alleges, Collins "stole military gear, to include body armor and magazines for assault-type rifles" from Camp LeJeune, "and had them delivered to other members of the group."

Meanwhile, Instagram chats obtained by the government, show that Kryscuk and Duncan were closely monitoring the dynamic among Black Lives Matter protesters, law enforcement and right-wing vigilantes in the summer of 2020, while looking for opportunities to insert themselves in the mix.

In July, Kryscuk told Duncan he was analyzing a video of federal agents deployed by President Trump to Portland in response to continued unrest following the death of George Floyd.

"I'm analyzing this video, and these two move like a couple twerps," Kryscuk said. "They're both super skinny, no rifles, no nods, rockin multicam in an urban environment. Kinda cringe tbh."

"Being a fed is super cringe," Duncan agreed. "Low level agency boiz for sure."

In late August, the two men were enthralled when Kyle Rittenhouse fatally shot two protesters in Kenosha, Wisc. during protests against the police shooting of Jacob Blake.

"It's popping off," Kryscuk told Duncan. "Volatility levels are hitting critical mass." Commenting on a left-wing social-media post denouncing the use of violence to defend property, Kryscuk called the protesters "subhuman" while calling for "mass executions."

Only a day later, Kryscuk and Duncan expressed admiration for Brenton Tarrant, the white supremacist who carried out a massacre against 51 Muslim worshipers in Christchurch, New Zealand in March 2019. Tarrant livestreamed his murders on Facebook and left behind a manifesto to inspire copycats. He was immediately hailed as a "saint" by neo-Nazis on Telegram. In short order, two white supremacists in the United States carried out fatal shootings. John T. Earnest, who opened fire on a synagogue in Poway, Calif. during a Passover service, and Patrick Wood Crusius who targeted Latinx people in a massacre at an El Paso, Texas Walmart, both referenced Tarrant's crime as a motivation.

Following their July 2020 training outside of Boise, BSN made a compilation video that depicts Kryscuk, Maurino and one other individual firing assault-style rifles. As the government notes, the end of the video shows the participants outfitted in AtomWaffen-style skull masks while giving straight-arm Nazi salutes, along with a superimposed black sun symbol that is favored by white supremacists. The last frame of the video displays the words, "Come home white man."

Megan Squire, a computer science professor at Elon University who monitors online activity by extremists, said the video is similar to recruitment propaganda by AtomWaffen, the Base and other neo-Nazi accelerationist groups.

"These videos are about projecting brotherhood, facility with guns, small group events," she said, "whereas the old-fashioned marching in the streets-style videos were about projecting strength."

Squire cautioned against media outlets sharing videos like the one produced by BSN.

"Many of these hateful, violent groups have been removed from mainstream social media platforms and don't have access to very big outlets to convey their message. So, when mainstream media republish the propaganda videos, they're undoing all of that work that has been done to keep these messages out of the public eye."

Kryscuk and Duncan were heartened by what they saw in Kenosha in late August, last year.

"More people are being turned into fascists than any point in history besides the first time," Kryscuk told Duncan in an Aug. 26 Instagram message. "I'm seeing screenshots of tweets from normies saying how they're being pushed far right."

Duncan interjected a note of skepticism.

"We shall see," he said. "There's always people talking on the internet."

But they both agreed that white supremacist revolution they wanted so badly would not happen unless they intervened.

"Seeing effective action is what will bring out the real ones," Duncan said.

Florida Nurse Admits She Threatened to Kill Kamala Harris for $53,000




A Florida nurse had pleaded guilty to threatening to kill Vice President Kamala Harris in a series of unhinged rants. Niviane Petit Phelps, 39, is now facing five years in prison. According to a statement from the Department of Justice, Phelps admitted in federal court that she sent her imprisoned husband several video messages of her screaming, rantingm and saying she had taken $53,000 to kill Harris. She said she’d carry out the hit within 50 days. Phelps also sent pictures of herself with guns and then, two days later, she applied for a concealed weapon permit, the department said. Some videos were reportedly filmed by her children.

The six-count indictment alleges Phillips told investigators that she believed the VP isn’t actually Black. Harris is Indian and Jamaican.

'Online threats of violence’ linked to ‘Justice for J6’ rally for MAGA rioters tracked by Homeland Security

Matthew Chapman
September 16, 2021



www.rawstory.com


On Thursday, CBS News reported that intelligence officials with the Department of Homeland Security are warning of "online threats of violence" connected to the "Justice for J6" rally planned for September 18.

"The bulletin produced by DHS' Office of Intelligence and Analysis and shared with state, local, tribal and territorial partners on Thursday 'assess[es] that some individuals involved in or opposed to the 'Justice for J6' rally planned for 18 September at Union Square (which encompasses the U.S. Capitol) in Washington, D.C., may seek to engage in violence but lack indications of a specific or credible plot associated with the event,'" reported Nicole Sganga.

Although officials continue to monitor the threats, other reports suggest that turnout may be far lower at this event than the original attack on the Capitol. Meanwhile, protective fencing has gone up at the Capitol complex and members of Congress are currently in recess.

The "Justice for J6" rally is being held in support of the Capitol rioters currently being held in custody, whom right-wing activists have claimed are "political prisoners."

Another Nothingburger 'story' designed to divert attention from the massive all-fronts attack that Biden is making on the American people and the international standing of The United States.

Who fucking cares about this bullshit 'interpretation' from RawStory - of all people?

More traitorous Libfuck smokescreen.

 

He hates America, does stumbler. Hes already plotting his posts for September 19.

How can he do that you ask?

Cause facts are actually a hindrance when spewing propaganda.
