White Supremacists Stopped before Attack on Electric Grid in Several States

"The three men - Paul James Kryscuk, 38 of Idaho; Liam Collins, 25 of Rhode Island; and Justin Wade Hermanson, 25 of North Carolina - were given sentences ranging from 21 months to 10 years for their roles in conspiracy and firearms offenses. Garland said the men met on a now-closed neo-Nazi forum called the "Iron March," researching and discussing former power grid attacks.

Their sentencing is the latest development in energy attacks across the U.S. by saboteurs looking to blow up or cripple power grids. People vandalized or shot at power substations in Maryland, North Carolina, Oregon and Washington state, causing major power outages in one instance.

Garland said in the case of the three men, they wanted to use violence to "undermine our democracy."

Collins and co-defendant Jordan Duncan, of North Carolina, were former Marines, stationed at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina and used their status to illegally obtain military equipment and information for the plot. According to the indictment, they wanted to use 50 pounds of homemade explosives to destroy transformers.

The men could be seen in a propaganda video wearing Atomwaffen masks and giving the "Heil Hitler" sign. The Southern Poverty Law Center designated Atomwaffen as a terroristic neo-Nazi group.

The three prison sentences follow just two weeks after the FBI arrested a New Jersey man in connection with a white supremacist attack on a power grid.

Federal agents arrested Andrew Takhistov at an airport after he allegedly instructed an undercover law enforcement officer to destroy an N.J. energy facility with Molotov cocktails while he fought in Ukraine. Takhistov was en route to join the Russian Volunteer Corps, a Russian militia fighting for Ukraine.

Prosecutors allege Takhistov wanted to achieve white domination and encouraged violence against ethnic and religious minorities.

In 2023, the Department of Homeland Security warned that domestic extremists have been developing plans since at least 2020 to physically attack energy infrastructure for civil unrest. The attacks, especially during extreme temperatures could threaten American lives, the department wrote."

Trumpites hate the FBI and Homeland Security because they support domestic terrorism. Notice how they support the Jan. 6 mob which included domestic terrorist groups. Trump promised to release the dangerous criminals from prison if elected.

I sure hope he pardons everyone that Merrick Garland has locked up in the American gulag for January 6.

Nice job being on the side of tyrants, Keelai.

Agreed. Did you see how the Court threw out the "obstructing a government process" crime as being applied way too vaguely?

Instead of releasing the HUNDREDS of people held on that, they are just "reopening" their cases, to find something else to charge them with.

THe basis of their cases, thrown out, and their victims are not released.

But to the person calling himself Skavau, it's beyond the pale to suggest that the people perpetrating this receive their just desserts from the masses.

Repeat after me, the scum that run our law enforcement, judicial, and intelligence departments hate us and want us dead. Only the willfully blind can deny this.

[–] Corbell (11002) 7 months ago

IMO, their goal would be more for US all to be reduced to terrified serfs, but they are happy when some of us get killed, as long as they can stonewall to protect themselves from being held accountable.

But yes, I would love to see a real investigation into these events, with those responsible being brought up on real charges.

Saw a lefty meme a couple of days ago, gloating that the head of the Proud Boys was supposedly an FBI asset.

But, if that is true, that raises insane questions. NUMBER ONE, WHY DIDN'T THE FEDS TELL HILL TO ORDER THE PROUD BOYS TO NOT STORM THE CAPITOL?

Or at least warn the capitol police it was coming.

I dont think they want us dead they just dont care if we die.

All the Left need to vote for RFKjr and all the Right need to vote for Trump and have it out. No Harris.

[–] [deleted] 7 months ago

expect many more of these "white supremacist" events that never happened from now until the election.

Kamala has no ideas, no intelligence, no positions. so the narrative will be "everything and everyone is racist"

so boring, so predictable.

[–] [deleted] 7 months ago

YES she does have positions. She wants to decriminalize border crossing, install a gun buyback program and to prosecute Trump. She's a RADICAL 100%. Dont you forget it.

[–] [deleted] 7 months ago

1.She wants to let anyone in
2. then remove our guns
3. and demoralize the Right by prosecuting Trump.
4. Hope she units the country while she's at it.

"White supremacists" are in reality White equalitarians and I mean that 100% seriously.

[–] Keelai (36157) 7 months ago

Your personal opinion is incorrect:

Definition:
"a person who believes that white people constitute a superior race and should therefore dominate society, typically to the exclusion or detriment of other racial and ethnic groups."

Your support of domestic terrorism makes you un-American.

[–] David1616 (332) 7 months ago

First of all what is is inherently wrong with exclusion? Secondly "detriment" implies taking away from non Whites. White nationalists don't want to take anything away from non Whites.

[–] Keelai (36157) 7 months ago

"...to physically attack energy infrastructure for civil unrest. The attacks, especially during extreme temperatures could threaten American lives"

You hate America!

[–] maixiu (2860) 7 months ago

Your hatred for white people is duly noted. We're all going to have a very long memory in the future.

[–] Keelai (36157) 7 months ago

Why do you support domestic terrorism?

[–] David1616 (332) 7 months ago

Name me a single thing that White nationalist want to take away from non Whites. Name me a single example of a double standard of White nationalists. I'm waiting.

[–] Keelai (36157) 7 months ago

You're defending domestic terrorism.

[–] David1616 (332) 6 months ago

No I'm not. A political idea is not terrorism. Terrorism is using violence.

Thanks for admitting you can't name a single example of a double standard that White nationalists have. Thanks for admitting White nationalists aren't immoral and unfair.

"Trumpites hate the FBI and Homeland Security because they support domestic terrorism. Notice how they support the Jan. 6 mob which included domestic terrorist groups. Trump promised to release the dangerous criminals from prison if elected."

As usual, Keeliar has nothing but lies and propaganda. I live deep in Trumpland. There is no sympathy for neo-Nazi's here and never will be. You're connecting dots that aren't connected because you're too fucking retarded to construct a cogent argument without lies and deception.

It's extraordinary how the left forget the September 11 attacks like it never happened.
