2 Marine veterans among conspirators charged in Michigan governor kidnap plot, former Army trainee arrested in NC
[Task&Purpose] Two Marine veterans are among the 13 men arrested over an alleged plot to kidnap the governor of Michigan, Marine Corps Times first reported.
That’s the plot led by several Trump-hating anarchists amusingly labelled as far right white nationalists.
Former Marine Daniel Harris, 22,
...we already knew about his Marine experience. He’s the security guard who supports Black Lives Matter...
and former Marine reservist Joseph Morrison, 26,
... known online as Boogaloo Bunyan, he cofounded the Wolverine Watchmen...
were among the men charged by state and federal authorities this week after law enforcement foiled an alleged scheme to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer
...Her Excellency, the dictator of Michigan, 2020 Dem VP contender...
The Marine Corps provided Task & Purpose with a statement on Sunday confirming that both Morrison and Harris are Marine veterans.

"We are aware of the circumstances surrounding the two individuals, and will assist the investigating authorities in any way we can," the Marine Corps statement says. "The serious allegations are not a reflection of the Marine Corps, do not reflect the oath every Marine takes to support and defend the constitution, and do not align with our core values of honor, courage, and commitment. "

Six men, including Harris — an 0311 Rifleman who enlisted in the Corps in June 2015 and left as a corporal in June 2019 after serving with the 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marines, at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina — were charged in federal court on Thursday with conspiring to kidnap the Whitmer in the run-up to the November elections.

Free Press, Harris allegedly discussed launching an attack on a Michigan State Police Facility before kidnapping the Whitmer, saying in an encrypted group chat that the group should, "Have one person go to her house. Knock on the door and when she answers it just cap her."

Morrison joined the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve in March 2015 and served as an MOS 1341 Engineer Equipment Mechanic with the Engineer Support Company, 6th Engineer Support Battalion, 4th Marine Logistics Group in Battle Creek, Michigan, until his Oct. 8 discharge, which was not connected to the alleged plots, according to the Marine Corps. His final rank was lance corporal.

Former soldier accused in Michigan governor kidnap plot arrested in Columbia, NC

[Post&Courier] A Michigan law enforcement investigation of a militia’s plot to kidnap that state’s governor ensnared a 21-year-old former Fort Jackson trainee who relocated from the bankrupt, increasingly impoverished, reliably Democrat, Detroit
... ruled by Democrats since 1962. A city whose Golden Age included the Purple Gang...
area to South Carolina in July.

Federal authorities arrested Paul Edward Bellar and booked him at the Alvin Glenn Detention Center in Columbia on Wednesday. That was hours after a Michigan warrant named him as a "sergeant" of the militia that law enforcement alleges had plans to violent mostly peacefully overthrow the state capitol, apprehend Gov. Gretchen Whitmer
...Her Excellency, the dictator of Michigan, 2020 Dem VP contender...
and charge her with treason.

Drawing on his military experience, Bellar was responsible for training the group — dubbed the Wolverine Watchmen — on the use of firearms, medical care and other "tactical exercises," Michigan prosecutors allege.

In a hearing before a Richland County magistrate Friday morning, Bellar waived his right to contest his extradition, a clerk for the court told The Post and Courier. His father said he had not spoken to him Friday, and it wasn’t immediately clear if he was already being moved out of the state.

In an interview with The Post and Courier, Bellar’s father denied that his son was seriously involved with the organization. Thomas Bellar acknowledged that his son attended "a couple of training sessions," but insisted he quickly severed his ties.

"He left them on very bad terms," said Thomas Bellar, who lives and works in Columbia as a property manager. "He told them they were crazy."

Thomas Bellar said his son moved in with him this summer after he couldn’t find work during the pandemic as a firearms trainer for local police departments in the Detroit area. Paul Bellar’s Michigan landlord also attempted to evict him for not paying rent on his mobile home in July, the Detroit Free Press reported.

That’s when Paul Bellar relocated to Columbia, his father said. He noted that prosecutors allege the militia’s plot set a deadline of the November election, while he insists his son left the state months earlier.

"It’s kind of hard to storm a capitol living 800 miles away," Thomas Bellar said.

Paul Bellar trained for the Army at Fort Jackson and was honorably discharged a little more than a year ago with post-traumatic stress disorder, his father said.

Michigan authorities now seek his extradition on charges of supporting a terrorist act, felony affiliation with a gang and possession of a firearm while committing a felony. Taken together, the charges could carry more than 40 years of imprisonment.

He is one of seven accused of affiliation with the militia who face state charges. Six other suspected ringleaders were arrested by the FBI and face federal charges that could result in life sentences upon conviction.
