VIDEO THREAD: Pardoned January 6er Jake Lang held a "Crusader" rally outside AIPAC Sunday afternoon, throwing (chocolate) gold coins at attendees dressed as politicians and suggesting "their Jewish money" has caused a "brownification of America."

A couple counter-protesters including former elected official Patricia Eugenio demonstrated against Lang and his group.

FOOTAGE FOR DOCUMENTARY, NEWS PURPOSES ONLY.

2) Ivan Raiklin, an advocate for the January 6er's, confronted Lang at the podium.

While maintaining a cordial tone, he said Lang has "got it all wrong" by focusing on immutable attributes rather than "deep state traitors" "based on their actions, and actions alone."

3) Lang and Raiklin jokingly wrestled for the mic before Raiklin suggested that "You're about a block away from your employer, right? FBI Washington Field office?"

"Says the guy who never got indicted for January 6!" Lang replied.

"I'm that good!" Raiklin replied. "I run feds."

DOCUMENT THREAD: Four members of the pro-Palestine, left-wing "Turtle Island Liberation Front" have been arrested in an alleged bomb plot after being exposed to at least one FBI Confidential Human Source (CHS) and one Undercover Employee (UCE).

2) The FBI begins their summary of probable cause by saying that their PAID informant (CHS) "has been a reliable source of information since in or around August 2021."

They say the informant was given a handwritten bomb plot titled "OPERATION MIDNIGHT SUN” in November by defendants, but do not detail any conservations that led up to this occurring.

They do not describe how long the group had been exposed to this CHS prior to their alleged escalation into bomb plotting.

3) The group allegedly planned on extensive steps to conceal their participation in the plan, including encasing their phones in bricks before submerging them into water, and using black bloc clothing, which they wrote down and handed to a federal informant in an 8-page document.

The criminal complaint against Brian Cole Jr has been released, detailing the government’s evidence that this Virginia man is the January 5, 2021 pipe bomber.

The evidence basically amounts to three categories:

-Cell phone pings allegedly placing him at the scene

-Purchases over the prior more than a year of materials consistent with the devices

-A vehicle allegedly matching his leaving the area on that night

Notably, while government sources have reportedly characterized Cole as “anarchist,” this criminal complaint does not characterize any evidence related to ideological background or motive.

I also find it notable that the FBI places some of the relevant purchases which they allege were components for the pipe bombs as early as 2019.

While some components were purchased in November 2020 (post election) this timeline would seem to imply he was working on such a device *prior* to the 2020 election being disputed.

Following a "March Against Islamization" in Dearborn, Michigan, pardoned J6er Jake Lang spoke to the city council telling Muslim members "You guys are outbreeding, insidious parasites."

"You will never look like us," he said. "Get the f*** out. America First."

He was ushered out by police as his supporters yelled "Christ is king!"

2) Fighting broke out and mace was deployed on the streets of Dearborn Tuesday afternoon as Jake Lang walked around slapping a pack of bacon into a Quran, which counter-protesters took out of his hands.

"Michigan needs to be cleared out of Muslims!" Lang told the media.

3) Lang attempted to set fire to a Quran, but protesters pulled it away from him before he could light it up. One pointed mace into his face and appeared to trigger it, but it apparently jammed.

Lang accused responding police officers of being "here to enforce Sharia Law."

VIDEO THREAD: Protesters gathered outside the Portland ICE facility again Sunday afternoon, where they were forced back by federal agents firing pepper balls outside the front entrance as vehicles went in and out.

"I've literally had spicier breakfast burritos!" one yelled following munitions fired at a person in a dinosaur costume. "How's it feel to have your munitions beaten by a f***ing umbrella?"

2) Agents continued to fire sting balls to clear the entrance. "We're moving man," one replied over a loud speaker. "You're shooting us as we are moving!"

A prisoner transport vehicle left the facility with multiple people apparently detained inside.

3) A man in an "America First" hat had a sign apparently taken by an anti-ICE protester, which he said had touched him previously. It was grabbed back from him.

VIDEO THREAD: Border Patrol agents were followed by activists through the suburbs of Chicago on Friday as they continued their "Operation Midway Blitz" deportation effort.

Tensions escalated in Park City to the point of an agent pointing a weapon into the car of a protester with children in the back, although he abstained from firing.

2) In the town of Skokie, one landscaping worker was taken to the ground and arrested by Border Patrol in the Sokie neighborhood.

He was taken away in an unmarked vehicle with a “Chinga la migra” sticker on the front.

3) "If I see you without your unit, I'm gonna beat the f** out of you, motherf***er" a protester yelled out from a vehicle at Border Control Commander Greg Bovino.

"Who said that?" asked Bovino, handling his bodycam apparently to ensure the capture of the scene.
