Headlines claim "Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer Kidnap Plot Busted By FBI". Virtually all stories include the claim that it was a "right wing extremist" group responsible.
The very first problem with the claims center on the FBI. The FBI has a history of entrapment-like "investigations", where simple minded fools without the means to accomplish their goals are offered said means by the FBI. The FBI invariably arrest some village idiots after said investigations, to make an example of them.

A cursory glance at the early stories shows that the fools plotting to kidnap Whitmer had little idea what they were even talking about. Their talk of "200 men" and the need to purchase explosives directly from an FBI informant already makes the story smell of fish.
But, the "white supremacist" and "right wing" nonsense is being laid low, regardless of the village idiot's capabilities.
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.
So we have not one, but TWO Antifa/BLM protesters involved in this "right wing" plot? Interesting, to say the least!
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.”
“Trump is not your friend dude,” Caserta said.
He says Trump is “a tyrant” and calls President Trump an “enemy.”
The media, with the FBI being complicit, is playing the American public for a bunch of fools here. "Anarchist" do not equate to "right wing" or to "white supremacy".
I can grant that self proclaimed anarchists may have ulterior motives that they keep hidden until they have destroyed the existing government. Given that possibility, how did everyone jump to the conclusion that these particular anarchists are either "right wing" or "white supremacist"? Wouldn't it be just as easy to surmise that these fools are socialists, left wing militants, and/or communist activists?
Maybe, just maybe, these self proclaimed anarchists are really and truly anarchists? Maybe they don't care about left or right, maybe they don't care about black or white. All they want to see is government come tumbling down?
As usual, the public is being played. Mainstream Media has it's agenda, it has it's narrative, and that's all you're going to see when you tune in to "News at 11:00".
And, the FBI. That clown outfit is working hard to shed any credibility it may have. In the last election, the FBI worked hard to protect the D candidate, right up until the last days, then Comey turned on his mistress. Now, the FBI seems to be on track again, protecting the D narrative, and attacking the R, just before the election.

Just because they're not waving Trump signs doesn't mean that their actual political positions don't mirror some or all of the RWNJ talking points. I notice that it wasn't, for example, a trip to kidnap the governor of Florida or Georgia on their itinerary.
Consider this: they may think of "anarchism" as a transitional state, necessary to break down the existing system long enough to create a power vacuum that they and like-minded people can fill with the executors of their real agenda, whatever that may be. I'd be very interested as to what they define as "tyranny" and what the supposed overlap, for them, is between Whitmer and Trump.

Tyranny might be something like instituting a lockdown, but still requiring third party candidates to collect signatures in person to get on the ballot. Whitmer did do that.

All the violence we see is coming from Trump's provocations. This is too obvious

A clue for you: The Disrupt J20 protest organization was founded in July 2016, originally planned for Hillary Clinton's inauguration.

Don't know why that was modded down. He's quite open about it, nothing to hide. His tiki torchers are standing by for further orders. To deny this is Trump is incredibly naive.

Damn! Check out the trumpies! Just like the democrats, ya can't be honest with them either! Goes to show, they're a matched set, mirror image.
Mod all all you want, you can't change the facts. The violence come from the trumpies. It's only natural, it's in their "super" genes. Don't worry, the democrats won't oppose them, this shit works for their little censorship crusade too. Trump is their baby as much as the republican's.

HA! Between republicans and democrats, it's hard to find anything that doesn't overlap! That's why the point spread is so thin.
