Speaker 1: Zone Media, welcome to it could happen here. I'm Garrison Davis.
Speaker 1: Last September, President Trump announced a federal crackdown on left
Speaker 1: wing radical terrorism by signing an executive order dubbing quote
Speaker 1: unquote Antifa a domestic terrorist organization and directing federal law
Speaker 1: enforcement to investigate potential federal crimes related to political violence,
Speaker 1: especially stemming from quote anti Americanism, anti capitalism, anti Christianity,
Speaker 1: and hostility towards traditional American values. Last month, the FBI
Speaker 1: claimed one of their first big victories against so called
Speaker 1: Antifa terrorism since Trump's National Security directive. On December twelfth,
Speaker 1: the FBI arrested four people in southern California, who the
Speaker 1: government claims are members of a far left group called
Speaker 1: the Turtle I Liberation Front. The criminal complaint, signed on
Speaker 1: December thirteenth by an FBI agent working at the Joint
Speaker 1: Terrorism Task Force office in Los Angeles, alleges that these
Speaker 1: four individuals conspired to construct and detonate a series of
Speaker 1: bombs in southern California on New Year's Eve twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: The four defendants were first charged with conspiracy and possession
Speaker 1: of an unregistered destructive device, then On December twenty third,
Speaker 1: a federal grand jury indicted them on additional terrorism related felonies.
Speaker 1: Here's a brief clip from the FBI press conference announcing
Speaker 1: the arrests where First Assistant US Attorney Bill Assley compared
Speaker 1: the Turtle Island Liberation Front group to Antifa.
Speaker 2: This case is another reminder about the dangers that radicalized
Speaker 2: Antifa like groups posed to people, public safety, and the
Speaker 2: rule of law.
Speaker 1: In court documents, the defendants are not just referred to
Speaker 1: by their legal names, but also by their direct action
Speaker 1: or signal code names. Audrey Eileen Carrol aka Asanach or
Speaker 1: Black Moon, Zachary Aaron Paige aka ak Ash Carrington or
Speaker 1: Cuthulhu's Daughter, Dante Garfield aka Nomad, and Tina Laie aka
Speaker 1: kickwere The criminal complaint states that after forming the initial
Speaker 1: bombing plan, Carol and Page recruited additional co conspirators who
Speaker 1: participated in further planning meetings and helped procure bomb making materials.
Speaker 1: On December twelfth, the four defendants traveled to a remote
Speaker 1: location in the Mohafi Desert with the alleged intent to
Speaker 1: build and test explosive devices. An undercover FBI agent was
Speaker 1: present at the testing site and a surveillance plane observed
Speaker 1: from overhead. Before the defendants completed assembling a functional explosive device,
Speaker 1: the FBI arrested Carol, Paige Garfield, and Lie. From the
Speaker 1: court documents that are currently available, the earliest allusion to
Speaker 1: this New Year's Eve bombing plot is in a signal
Speaker 1: message dated November twenty fourth, twenty twenty five, allegedly from
Speaker 1: one of the defendants, Audrey Eileen Carroll, to whom they
Speaker 1: believed was a genuine co conspirator, but was actually a
Speaker 1: confidential human source working with law enforcement. According to the indictment,
Speaker 1: this alleged signal message from Carol stated that she and
Speaker 1: quote unquote four comrades were planning to go to the
Speaker 1: desert from December eleventh to December thirteenth, twenty twenty five,
Speaker 1: to quote test the items we are going to use
Speaker 1: for those party plans unquote. This message references pre existing
Speaker 1: quote unquote party plans, which any prior origin of has
Speaker 1: not yet been elaborated on. This confidential human source appears
Speaker 1: to be an individual embedded in the Los Angeles activist scene.
Speaker 1: The criminal complaint describes them like this quote. The confidential
Speaker 1: human Source is cooperating with law enforcement and is a
Speaker 1: validated and vetted source. The Confidential Human Source has been
Speaker 1: a reliable source of information since in or around August
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. The Confidential Human Source is cooperating for
Speaker 1: financial compensation. The Confidential Human Source does not have any
Speaker 1: criminal history. The Confidential Human Source provided past reliable reporting
Speaker 1: on other cases and has provided reliable reporting in this case. Unquote.
Speaker 1: The quote unquote Turtle Island Liberation Front appears to be
Speaker 1: a relatively new group with a social media footprint that
Speaker 1: only goes back to July twenty twenty five. The Instagram
Speaker 1: bio for their LA chapter reads quote liberation through decolonization
Speaker 1: and tribal sovereignty unquote. Their most recent post, from December twelfth,
Speaker 1: the day of the arrests, is promoting a quote unquote
Speaker 1: Palestine pop up market in Culver City. A post from
Speaker 1: November twenty eighth reads quote if they hurt you, they
Speaker 1: hurt me too. Our destinies are intertwined. Liberation for one
Speaker 1: must mean liberation for all. The empire must fall, and
Speaker 1: from within the belly of the beast, we must be
Speaker 1: the ones to dismantle it. Revolution is the only way
Speaker 1: stop quote unquote peaceful protesting, rise up, fight back. We
Speaker 1: are not outnumbered. They are organize and be ready unquote.
Speaker 1: As news of this group and the bombing plot spread
Speaker 1: around the internet last month among the left, there was
Speaker 1: a lot of skepticism pointed at the authenticity of the
Speaker 1: story and the Turtle Island Liberation Front group itself, with
Speaker 1: questions pointed at its name and some language used in
Speaker 1: their social media posts. The name derives from a term
Speaker 1: that some Indigenous tribes used to describe the North American
Speaker 1: continent and is common language among a certain sect of
Speaker 1: quote unquote land back activists. The Liberation Front moniker has
Speaker 1: been used by a collection of direct action based groups,
Speaker 1: most notably the Earth Liberation Front and the Animal Liberation
Speaker 1: Front in the two thousands. Though the Turtle Island Liberation
Speaker 1: Front group doesn't seem to have been a formalized activist
Speaker 1: group for very long, there were genuine people involved with
Speaker 1: this group, as evidenced by there being for defendants in
Speaker 1: this criminal case. The Turtle Island Liberation Front Instagram account
Speaker 1: was run by one of these defendants, and the language
Speaker 1: used in their posts is not uncommon among the quote
Speaker 1: unquote antium perialists whose ideology is grown an influence among
Speaker 1: the American left during Israel's genocide in Palestine, and though
Speaker 1: both an FBI informant and an undercover employee played a
Speaker 1: part in this investigation, the group seems to have contained
Speaker 1: a collection of genuine individuals who have participated in the
Speaker 1: wider Los Angeles activist scene and especially anti Israel protests.
Speaker 1: The indictment and criminal complaint outlined the material steps that
Speaker 1: defendants allegedly took to detail the plans of this bombing
Speaker 1: plot and procure materials to construct explosive devices without material
Speaker 1: support from FBI sources or undercover employees. All the information
Speaker 1: in the indictment and criminal complaint is alleged, and all
Speaker 1: the defendants should be considered innocent until proven guilty. The
Speaker 1: indictment claims that Carol set up an in person meeting
Speaker 1: for November twenty six to discuss the bombing plot with
Speaker 1: another alleged Turtle Island Liberation Front member, Zachary Aaron Page,
Speaker 1: and the confidential human source, who were instructed to quote
Speaker 1: where casual block, no devices, If you can't leave it
Speaker 1: at home, have it turned off and wrapped in tinfoil.
Speaker 1: Makeshift Faraday Bagot. During this in person meeting, Carol allegedly
Speaker 1: distributed an eight page handwritten document titled Operation Midnight Sun,
Speaker 1: outlining the plan for the bombing to both the Confidential
Speaker 1: Human Source and co defendant Zachary Page. Carol allegedly retained
Speaker 1: two to four additional copies of the handwritten plan. The
Speaker 1: indictment says that Carol explained that the document was handwritten
Speaker 1: because she quote did not want any traces of the
Speaker 1: attack plan on a computer. After this meeting, Carol allegedly
Speaker 1: sent an encrypted message to the confidential Human source about
Speaker 1: the bomb testing camp out in the desert. Quote, this
Speaker 1: trip is very spicy. We'll be testing the things we're
Speaker 1: gonna make for December, like the things in the instructions
Speaker 1: on that document I gave you. Testing first is important
Speaker 1: so we know how well they work lol unquote. The
Speaker 1: plan was for teams of four on the ground participants
Speaker 1: to plant backpacks containing quote unquote complex pipe bombs or
Speaker 1: IED's improvised closive devices outside of buildings at five locations,
Speaker 1: targeting two US companies, and then simultaneously detonate the bombs
Speaker 1: at midnight on New Year's Eve twenty twenty five. There
Speaker 1: would be one off the ground member assisting the teams
Speaker 1: remotely by listening to police scanners or stationed in a
Speaker 1: vehicle in case quote an emergency getaway is needed unquote,
Speaker 1: and one member of each on the ground team would
Speaker 1: create graffiti of quote a red triangle and one message
Speaker 1: of the teams, choosing on the sidewalk closest to the
Speaker 1: building while the other three are placing the devices. The
Speaker 1: indictment claims that the handwritten plan also instructed co conspirators
Speaker 1: quote once you plant your IEDs, if there is any
Speaker 1: time to safely do so, dump an accelerant around the premises,
Speaker 1: such as gasoline for added effect. We want to do
Speaker 1: as much damage as possible unquote. The plan identified five
Speaker 1: target locations as quote unquote marks, with five more blank
Speaker 1: slots captioned add more if enough comrades. The criminal complaint
Speaker 1: states that these targets were quote property and facilities operated
Speaker 1: by two separate companies that are used or engaged in
Speaker 1: activities affecting interstate and foreign commerce unquote. I'm going to
Speaker 1: quote from three sections of the criminal complaint that outline
Speaker 1: some of the opsec or operational security precautions that are
Speaker 1: allegedly included in this handwritten plan. Quote. The plan described
Speaker 1: multiple operational security measures the co conspirators should take to
Speaker 1: conceal their identities, such as the use of a burner
Speaker 1: phone that would be disposed of after the bombings by
Speaker 1: quote submerging it in a concrete brick after destroying the
Speaker 1: sim and then disposing of the brick in a body
Speaker 1: of water unquote. The target date of the operation, New
Speaker 1: Year's Eve, was identified as an opportune time because quote
Speaker 1: fireworks will be going off at this time, so explosions
Speaker 1: will be less likely to be noticed as immediately as
Speaker 1: any normal day unquote. The plan emphasized that quote absolutely
Speaker 1: no mistakes can be made unquote. The plans outline the
Speaker 1: use of quote unquote black block over top of a
Speaker 1: layer of quote gray slash casual block on top of
Speaker 1: normal street clothes, and noted to keep hair very tightly concealed,
Speaker 1: and to wear gloves for the purpose of avoidance of
Speaker 1: leaving behind. DNA further instructed that participants should leave their
Speaker 1: personal devices at home and to make sure the devices
Speaker 1: were set up to stream a long movie during the
Speaker 1: time of the attacks, as so to craft an alibi
Speaker 1: or quote unquote plausible deniability by having it appear as
Speaker 1: though the actor was actively using their devices. The plan
Speaker 1: discussed pre operational surveillance of targets, identification of D block
Speaker 1: or D clothing locations, and not leaving quote anything other
Speaker 1: than the IEDs behind unquote as they could not quote
Speaker 1: risk any evidence tracing back to us quote. The plan
Speaker 1: also noted the benefit of placing a small pebble in
Speaker 1: a shoe to alter natural gait to obfuscate their identification.
Speaker 1: Instructions on how to purchase materials to construct a pipe
Speaker 1: bomb suggested using cash only, purchasing in small quantities to
Speaker 1: avoid suspicion, and splitting purchases amongst a team rather then individually.
Speaker 1: In addition to the plan of action and operational security tactics,
Speaker 1: detailed instructions were provided on the components required to build
Speaker 1: a pipe bomb, as well as how to create homemade gunpowder.
Speaker 1: On December second, there was another in person meeting between
Speaker 1: the law enforcement source, Carol and Page, as well as
Speaker 1: two other co conspirators, to go over the plan. They
Speaker 1: met again on December seventh to review the bombing plot
Speaker 1: and allegedly discussed intent to conduct future attacks against federal offices.
Speaker 1: This meeting was also attended by an undercover FBI employee
Speaker 1: who was being recruited to join the operation. The undercover
Speaker 1: asked Carol about the black powder instructions in the handwritten
Speaker 1: plan and responded that she conducted the research herself and
Speaker 1: discussed wanting to test several different types of bomb to
Speaker 1: determine which could quote unquote completely pulverize their assigned building
Speaker 1: on New Year's Eve. To quote the criminal complaint quote,
Speaker 1: Carol stated that she had acquired some components thirteen PVC
Speaker 1: pipes and that she had bought potassium nitrate on Amazon
Speaker 1: using a burner account that was scheduled to be delivered
Speaker 1: on December eleventh, twenty twenty five. During this in person meeting,
Speaker 1: Carol confirmed that she operated the Turnal Island Deliberation front
Speaker 1: Instagram account and that she had met a co conspirator
Speaker 1: through said Instagram account. The indictment claims that Carol told
Speaker 1: co conspirators in this meeting quote what we are about
Speaker 1: to do, that's gonna be like a Luigi level situation unquote,
Speaker 1: and that it was time for America to fall, and
Speaker 1: that America falling will make Israel fall According to the indictment,
Speaker 1: during this December seventh meeting, Page told attendees again, including
Speaker 1: an undercover FBI employee, that they were doing everything quote
Speaker 1: to be as clean as possible because one hundred thousand
Speaker 1: percent the FBI is gonna be like on that shit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so we all know what we're getting into unquote in person,
Speaker 1: Page outlined some of the operational security precautions to avoid
Speaker 1: law enforcement detection, like covering shoes with socks to cover
Speaker 1: shoe prints, and burning shoes after the bombing. Page also
Speaker 1: allegedly asked attendees if they would like to receive firearms
Speaker 1: training from a group that held a training about a
Speaker 1: month prior, and Carol said that she had a contact
Speaker 1: who could obtain unregistered ars. This wasn't the first time
Speaker 1: Turtle Island Liberation Front members allegedly brought up firearms. The
Speaker 1: indictment claims that on quote December third, twenty twenty five,
Speaker 1: defendant Page, using an encrypted messaging application, asked the confidential
Speaker 1: human source if the human source was interested in receiving
Speaker 1: fire arms training. Explaining his plan to shoot ICE officials.
Speaker 1: In a voice message to the confidential human source, defendant
Speaker 1: Page stated, quote, I just had this day dream. I
Speaker 1: was like, we're just patrolling or whatever, and we're strapped right,
Speaker 1: and we see ICE trying to pull up on someone
Speaker 1: or a group of people, and we just like roll
Speaker 1: up on them, like strapped up, and we're like, nah,
Speaker 1: get the fuck out of here. They're gonna get shot
Speaker 1: if they try to do anything like we shoot first,
Speaker 1: we ask questions later. That's the policy. I told that
Speaker 1: too in Brackets defendant Carol. Defendant Carol knows all about this,
Speaker 1: and Brackets Defendant Carol was like, yeah, let's fucking do it.
Speaker 1: But I'm like, seriously, that is what's needed. Maybe if
Speaker 1: ICE agents they're like, wait, I don't want to get
Speaker 1: fucking shot right now, they ain't gonna do it. And
Speaker 1: if they still try to do it, well, guess what.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the dirt, motherfucker unquote. After sending this voice message,
Speaker 1: Page told the confidential human source quote, let me know
Speaker 1: when you listen so I can delete it. Unquote. Small
Speaker 1: lines like that are part of what I find really
Speaker 1: interesting in this Turtle Island Liberation front case, because the
Speaker 1: indictment and criminal complaint are just full of the defendants
Speaker 1: recommending these security folklore practices like setting up your phone
Speaker 1: to stream a long movie to create an alibi, and
Speaker 1: placing a small pebble in your shoe to alter your gait,
Speaker 1: deleting these messages after you send them, which they're trying
Speaker 1: to do, all while working with not just an FBI
Speaker 1: informant but also an undercover agent. During the December seventh
Speaker 1: in person meeting, Page and Carol discussed plans for future
Speaker 1: attacks after this New Year's Eve bombing plot, specifically a
Speaker 1: plan to target ICE agents and vehicles with pipe bombs
Speaker 1: starting around January or February twenty twenty six, with Carol
Speaker 1: noting in the meeting quote that would definitely take some
Speaker 1: of them out and would probably scare the rest of
Speaker 1: them unquote.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 1: Following this meeting, more co conspirators, including an undercover FBI employee,
Speaker 1: were added to the signal group chat called the Order
Speaker 1: of the Black Lotus, which Carol described as the radical
Speaker 1: faction of the Turtle Island Liberation Front and which Page
Speaker 1: described as quote unquote super underground. The indictment contains some
Speaker 1: alleged messages sent to an encrypted group chat. It's unclear
Speaker 1: this is specifically the Order of the Black Lotus chat
Speaker 1: or another Turtle Island Liberation Front related chat. But I
Speaker 1: will read through some of these messages. Quote Page messaged
Speaker 1: co conspirators, including defendants Carol and Garfield quote death to Israel,
Speaker 1: death to the USA, death to colonizers, death to settler colonialism.
Speaker 1: In response to defendant Pages message, defendant Carol stated, quote
Speaker 1: death to them all, burn it all down, three burning
Speaker 1: heart emojis. Unquote. Defendant Carol messaged co conspirators, including Page
Speaker 1: and Garfield, quote I identify as a terrorist and I
Speaker 1: am a Hamas fangirl. Unquote. Garfield messaged co conspirators, including
Speaker 1: Carol and Paige quote I am here to destroy Zionism
Speaker 1: by any means necessary. Real activism equals destroying Zionism by
Speaker 1: any means necessary, even if it's risky. If you aren't
Speaker 1: willing to die for or lose your freedom, then you're
Speaker 1: just another toy in the machine. Unquote. Carol messaged quote
Speaker 1: glory to the martyr's death to Israel, three salute emojis.
Speaker 1: And on December third, defendant Carol told the Confidential Humans
Speaker 1: source quote these fucking SJW peaceful protest libs are insane,
Speaker 1: like it's wild to me that I've seen state violence
Speaker 1: enacted on some people like that, and they still think
Speaker 1: they can keep going with peaceful protest bs and indirect
Speaker 1: roots unquote. Defendants used the BLACKLOADUS group chat what Carol
Speaker 1: described as quote our group for everything radical unquote, to
Speaker 1: discuss sourcing bomb making parts including cotton string and PVC pipes,
Speaker 1: as well as coordinates for the explosives testing site in
Speaker 1: the desert quote where we will set up camp and
Speaker 1: where we will test unquote. On the afternoon of December tenth,
Speaker 1: Page messaged the group about just having acquired two parts
Speaker 1: for the bomb recipe and that starter would be picked
Speaker 1: up later that day. Page was under FBI surveillance around
Speaker 1: the time this message was sent, and fifteen minutes prior
Speaker 1: to sending this message, Page was seen grabbing a package
Speaker 1: from an Amazon pick up location. Hours later, FBI agent's
Speaker 1: watched Page by pistol primers from a store in Irving, California.
Speaker 1: Quote dressed in a manner to obscure Page's identity, namely
Speaker 1: wearing a medical mask, gloves, ball cap, and longsleeved shirt
Speaker 1: to quote the criminal complaint. Carol replied to Page's messages
Speaker 1: about obtaining more items from the ingredient's list, writing that
Speaker 1: another package was quote already delivered, got to pick it
Speaker 1: up tomorrow, but yay with four whys unquote. The criminal
Speaker 1: complaint says that quote. According to Amazon records, on December seventh,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, Carol purchased two five pound bags of
Speaker 1: potassium nitrate ninety nine percent heure prilled Kno three five
Speaker 1: pounds for industrial and technical applications, to be delivered to
Speaker 1: the Amazon counter at the Whole Foods located at three
Speaker 1: three seven seven South La Sienna Boulevard, Los Angeles, California.
Speaker 1: The potassium nitrate was delivered on December eleventh, twenty twenty five. Quote.
Speaker 1: In early December, Carol messaged the confidential human source on
Speaker 1: signal a list of components chemicals and tools, along with
Speaker 1: prices of the required items. Several of these components were
Speaker 1: either listed as already purchased or designated to be acquired
Speaker 1: by another quote unquote. Comrade Carol advised the confidential human
Speaker 1: source quote with the list, write it and down when
Speaker 1: you have some time. Then I'll delete that message, so
Speaker 1: it's no in the chat all well.
Speaker 3: Quote.
Speaker 1: Carol also told the confidential human source that they should
Speaker 1: get some burner phones quote unquote bought with cash only
Speaker 1: for the bomb testing camp out in the desert. Page
Speaker 1: instructed the group to only bring two burner phones to
Speaker 1: use in case of emergencies and for directions on the
Speaker 1: way out to quote the complaint quote. Once everyone arrived,
Speaker 1: their phones would be put in a small cardboard box
Speaker 1: completely sealed with aluminium. The phones would not be returned
Speaker 1: until the care caravan was out of the campsite and
Speaker 1: back on the main road. Quote forgetting to the desert,
Speaker 1: page wrote that each navigator should have a burner phone,
Speaker 1: quoting page in the complaint quote no phones besides burners,
Speaker 1: and all phones except navigators to be wrapped in foil
Speaker 1: or a Faraday bag for the entirety of the trip
Speaker 1: and install OSM. And it is an open source maps,
Speaker 1: so no corporate tracking unquote. Garfield wrote quote, I have
Speaker 1: a few burners, but I'm saving for the big event,
Speaker 1: the big party celebrate emoji quote. On December tenth, Carol
Speaker 1: sent the Confidential Human Source a message on signal reading
Speaker 1: quote I kind of hand this notebook where I wrote
Speaker 1: down multiple plans that never happened or got delayed, So
Speaker 1: it's like my terrorist diary. Lmaoooo, I have to get
Speaker 1: rid of that unquote. On the morning of December twelfth,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, Carol Page, Garfield, and Lye traveled to
Speaker 1: the desert in two vehicles, the confidential human source in
Speaker 1: one car and the undercover in the other. To quote
Speaker 1: from the complaint quote. In the undercover vehicle, Page discussed
Speaker 1: using cigarettes as a delayed fusing device for the explosives.
Speaker 1: Once they arrived in the desert, in the other vehicle,
Speaker 1: Carol explained to Lie that the day's events were meant
Speaker 1: as a test run for the New Year's Eve bombing plot,
Speaker 1: which Carol described in detail, stating, quote, what we're doing
Speaker 1: will be considered a terrorist act unquote. In response to
Speaker 1: Carroll's detailing of the New Year's Eve plot, Lie asked
Speaker 1: if there would be any people at the bombing target locations.
Speaker 1: Carol responded in the negative, but noted that if they
Speaker 1: saw any people such as a security guard at any
Speaker 1: of the locations, they would warn them. At approximately ten am,
Speaker 1: the co conspirators arrived at the desert and began setting
Speaker 1: up a campsite including tents and tables. Based on information
Speaker 1: from the undercover and confidential human source. Carol Page, and
Speaker 1: Lie all brought bomb making components to the campsite, including
Speaker 1: various sizes of PVC pipes, suspected potassium nitrate, charcoal, charcoal powder,
Speaker 1: sulfur powder, and material to be used as fuses, among others.
Speaker 1: After the undercover alerted law enforcement with a predetermined signal
Speaker 1: indicating that bomb testing was imminent, FBI personnel intervened and
Speaker 1: placed Carol Page, Garfield, and Lie into custody. This is
Speaker 1: a clip from the law enforcement press conference announcing the
Speaker 1: arrests with a Keel Davis, Assistant Director in charge of
Speaker 1: the FBI Los Angeles Field Office.
Speaker 2: On December twelfth, a group of individuals, again members of
Speaker 2: this antigovernment group, traveled out to the desert to test
Speaker 2: their explosive device. They had precursor chemicals there and they
Speaker 2: were going to make They were going to create these
Speaker 2: these bombs in the desert. What they are starting to
Speaker 2: do is put their chemicals and wares and the components
Speaker 2: out on the on the table on the table there.
Speaker 2: This footage that you're watching is from our surveillance plane.
Speaker 2: And then what happened after this is the Los Angeles
Speaker 2: FBI SWAT team, along with the FBI's Hostage Rescue Team,
Speaker 2: moved in and arrested all four subjects without without incident.
Speaker 1: The criminal complaint notes at the end that quote based
Speaker 1: on conversations with the bomb technician. While no quote unquote
Speaker 1: end caps were found at the campsite, the co conspirators
Speaker 1: could have improvised using other material to plug the end
Speaker 1: of the PBC pipe, though such method would have been
Speaker 1: less effective than using a proper end cap. As noted above,
Speaker 1: there were also sufficient parts to create several molotov cocktail
Speaker 1: device unquote. After the arrests, law enforcement also raided the
Speaker 1: homes of the Turtle Island Liberation Front members. In Page's residence,
Speaker 1: police found a copy of the handwritten attack plan Operation
Speaker 1: Midnight Sun. That same day, December twelfth, another Turtle Island
Speaker 1: Liberation Front related arrest was made all the way in Louisiana,
Speaker 1: a former marine who was member of the Order of
Speaker 1: the Black Lotus Signal group under the name Darkwitch. She
Speaker 1: her who was also planning to instruct the group on
Speaker 1: quote urban tactics, accuracy and combat shooting unquote. She was
Speaker 1: arrested while driving from New Iberia to New Orleans with
Speaker 1: a rifle, handgun, gas canister, and body armour. The FBI
Speaker 1: believes that she was going to carry out an attack
Speaker 1: based on a Facebook post commenting on a border patrol
Speaker 1: rest in New Orleans captioned quote shit time to recreate Waco,
Speaker 1: Texas with these fuckers thuck Ice unquote. Three of the
Speaker 1: defendants in the Los Angeles case page, Carol and Lae,
Speaker 1: have pled not guilty. Garfield is set to be arraigned
Speaker 1: the day that I'm recording this, and the Turtle Island
Speaker 1: Liberation Front trial is currently scheduled for the end of February.
