Alleged “Right-wing” Militia Member Arrested for Plot Against Gov. Whitmer Was Black Lives Matter Protester and Sympathizer
2020-10-11
[GatewayPundit] On Thursday the FBI announced during a press conference that it thwarted a plot by a so-called “right-wing militia” to kidnap and kill Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and overthrow the state government.

Early Thursday morning, federal agencies raided a house in Hartland, Michigan and arrested six men: Adam Fox, Barry Croft, Ty Garbin, Kaleb Franks, Daniel Harris, and Brandon Caserta.

Whitmer immediately blamed the plot on President Trump telling the Proud Boys to “stand back and stand by.”

“Hate groups heard the president’s words as a rallying cry, as a call to action,” Whitmer said blaming white supremacists.

It turns out Brandon Caserta, one of anarchists who was arrested for plotting to kidnap Whitmer, actually hates President Trump and is on video calling Trump a “tyrant.”

And now there is evidence a second “rightwing” militia member attended at least one Black Lives Matter protest and was sympathetic to George Floyd and BLM protesters.



The Daily Beast reported:

23-year-old Daniel Harris from Lake Orion, Michigan. A LinkedIn page corresponding to Harris in that small Detroit-area town lists his current occupation as “security guard,” but indicates he served as a rifleman in the U.S. Marine Corps until last year.

An individual of that name was quoted complaining about excessive use of force by police and alluding to his background at an anti-racist protest in Lake Orion in June.

“It is a shame what happened with George Floyd and instances where law enforcement officers murder an unarmed man/woman who isn’t resisting arrest, was complying with the orders is wrong and need to be stopped. You look at photos and videos of news teams and protesters being beaten by riot police when they are there peacefully, you see people losing their eyes because if an officer shoots them with a ‘non-lethal’ round like pepper balls, or rubber bullets,” Harris said. “I’ve gone through that sort of training and I can promise you weapons like that they can turn into a lethal round.”

Delaware’s Democrat governor in 2019 pardoned defendant in Michigan kidnap plot

[JustTheNews] Gov. John Carney, an ally of Joe Biden, pardoned man who FBI alleges sought to build IED in plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Whitmer.

Barry Gordon Croft Jr., one of several men charged Thursday in federal court in Michigan, was pardoned in April 2019 for a two-decade old conviction for possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, assault and burglary, according to court records first reported by the Delaware News Journal.

The governor's office issued a statement confirming the pardon, saying it had been recommended by the state's Board of Pardons.

#5  Seems like a pattern is developing-- e.g. Michigan and Denver. Left-wing terrorist poses as a white supremist/right wing extremist and then tries to pull off a shooting. The press gleefully reports this as a right wing extremist some peaceful protester. The MSM is horrible. The MSM needs to be driven out of business as they do much harm. Moreover, they block the truth from getting out. We will likely see more of this.

#2  I watched the Fox report on this yesterday morning and the entire group of Antifa leaning plotters were missing, only the militia members were show. And the description used was right wing militia, white supremacist members. Total distortion and typical MSM lies through the ruse of partial truth.
