A report on Portland’s 2020 protests shows how senior DHS leaders pushed unfounded conspiracies about antifascists, encouraged staff to violate constitutional rights, and made spurious connections between protesters who engaged in criminal activity. https://t.co/vX8fuqdIoI
I'll wait to post the name until it's been confirmed, but it looks like the person arrested has already removed all of his social media accounts, so not much there.
Warning: you will get 10 years in prison for plotting with an undercover FBI agent to blow up an Amazon data center. Not for any act, just for plotting, and for accepting what you think is an explosive device from an agent and putting it in your car. From a Texas judge.
From the press release, here's a hint to the guy's "ideology", if you could call it that, and soundness of mind;
“The main objective is to f*** up the Amazon servers,” he said, adding that he hoped to anger “the oligarchy” enough to provoke a reaction that would convince the American people to take action against what he perceived to be a “dictatorship.”
During that same conversation, Mr. Pendley claimed to have been present at the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. He said that although he did not enter the building, he came prepared with a sawed off AR rifle, which he left in his car.
On April 8, Mr. Pendley again met with the undercover FBI employee to pick up what he believed to be explosive devices. (In actuality, however, the undercover gave Mr. Pendley inert devices.) After the employee showed Mr. Pendley how to arm and detonate the devices, the defendant loaded them into his car. He was then arrested.
A subsequent search of his residence in Wichita Falls turned up an AR-15 receiver with a sawed off barrel, a pistol painted to look like a toy gun, masks, wigs, notes, and flashcards related to the planned attack.
Qanon Trump fan who was in the Capitol Jan. 6 and pled guilty to a reduced charge is a 33-year old man who has a previous history of not playing with a full deck (often stoned out of his brain?)
[....] Gonzalez pleaded guilty to one court of parading, demonstrating or picketing at the Capitol — a misdemeanor offense that holds a maximum prison sentence of six months. So far, sentencing determinations for those who accepted the same plea have not included any jail time.
Gonzalez was born in Venezuela and a year old when he came to the United States. He frequently posts conspiracy-theory videos to YouTube, telling viewers that we may be living in a simulation, that the earth is flat and that the Smithsonian Institution is hiding evidence of giants. He also promotes the QAnon conspiracy theory that elites are operating a Satanic child sex-trafficking cult and sacrificing children.
“He's fallen under the sway of a web of conspiracy theories that is not just bizarre but dangerous,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Bosse said at Gonzalez’s detention hearing in March [....]
Long before he documented himself indulging in herbal refreshments at the insurrection, Eduardo Nicholas Alvear Gonzalez made a name for himself peddling conspiracy theories on YouTube.

Note the report says protesters engaged in illegal activity; that the Trump admin just made "spurious connections" concerning the same.
