Man Arrested and Charged with Attempting to Use a Weapon of Mass Destruction and to Destroy an Energy Facility in Nashville

Skyler Philippi, 24, of Columbia, Tennessee, was arrested by federal agents and charged with attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction and attempting to destroy an energy facility.

This is just a running laugh track of FBI bullshit. They found a Nazi, set him up with literally everything he needed to do a bomb attack from start to finish, then "caught" him the day before the election.

Also, note where our man Merrick says how they found out about this guy - "Confidential Human Sources". Not spooky spyware or anything, dude just told someone who snitched. Nobody talks, everybody walks.

I salute our brave secret police and their ongoing campaign to catch guys they convinced to do terror plots in the first place. At least this time they actually picked a Nazi instead of a socially isolated mentally ill kid or something.

    Edit: Wait I just got the joke that's good I like that

    Original post follows;

    Nah, the US grid is actually incredibly fragile, like to the point where it's hard to believe how bad it is and how vulnerable it is to very inexpensive, simple attacks. There's lots of reading on it and it's full of statements like "Attacking these seven substations would bring down the power grid of the eastern seaboard for weeks". Just wild, wild, how the fuck is hardening the grid against attack and general failure not an S+ tier national security issue?

    Here's kind of where it started. Back in '13 someone shot up a power substation in California and brought this all in to public awareness (and by "public" I mean the feds, the fash, and the tankies. I doubt anyone else knows or cares).

    This country really is hanging by a damn thread. There's so many of these critical security problems that aren't really being addressed, with new ones emerging all the time.

        Pretty sure everyone does at this point. It's been all over the net for almost a decade now and there have been several reasonably high-profile attack attempts by Nazis over the years.

        All the cool kids are working on cruise missile systems that you can shove in to a standard shipping container and launch remotely. Slap a few of those on to a giant container ship, get it to the coast, drop the US grid before anyone can react? Who knows, anything is possible in Hellworld.
