Baltimore across the Inner Harbor

Yesterday ‘Civil War’ was trending on Elon Musk’s Twitter, now an on-line sewer that Right Wing extremists use as their playground. Then today I see racist extremists were planning attacks on electrical substations in the Baltimore area. Their ultimate goal was to to ‘completely destroy’ the city of Baltimore.

Neo-Nazi leader and Maryland woman allegedly plotted, Justice Department says Two people charged with conspiracy to damage energy facilities – a neo-Nazi leader and a woman with whom he had a personal relationship – allegedly planned to attack electrical substations encircling Baltimore and “completely destroy” the entire city, according to federal court documents. The Justice Department has charged Brandon Clint Russell and Sarah Beth Clendaniel with conspiracy to damage energy facilities, alleging that the Maryland-focused plot was driven by ethnically or racially motivated extremist beliefs.

An electrical substation that had been attacked

In a recorded voice conversation last month, Clendaniel allegedly told the FBI source that targeting the facilities would “completely destroy this whole city.” She and Russell allegedly sent the source information about the facilities, and according to the charging papers, Russell sent the source a YouTube video about a recent substation attack in North Carolina. The FBI also obtained a document allegedly written by Clendaniel that authorities say resembles a manifesto. In it, she allegedly references Hitler, as well as Unabomber Ted Kaczynski and the perpetrator of the 2011 terrorist attack in Norway.

Donald Trump is amplifying calls for political violence on Truth Social.

x It will likely get little to no attention today that the current front runner for the Republican presidential nomination just told his supporters to start arming themselves for a civil war to overthrow the government in the case he loses.
