This appears to be the video that the NYPD pulled a screenshot from for their person of interest posting about Frank James in the #NYCsubway shooting.

James posted this on March 20 entitled "STOP ONE COMPLETE" and says he's "on my way to Philadelphia."
James says in the video he is on "the first leg of my trip."

"As I leave the state of Wisconsin and about to be back in the state of Illinois, all I can say is 'good riddance.' And I will never be back again alive to that motherfucker."

In another clip from the same video, he gives a very lengthy and mostly nonsensical rant I won't repost here, but he ends by saying he's in Fort Wayne Indiana, on his way to Philadelphia to "drop my shit off at my storage unit" before going to a hotel in New Jersey.

March 20.
On March 21, one day after the video NYPD screenshotted for their person of interest lookout, Frank James rambled for a 30 minute video, but it ends with saying he's still in Fort Wayne and going to Caledonia, Indiana.

"This may be my last video, let's hope not."
On March 22, Frank James posted a video entitled "I am here."

It is mostly a 24-minute long ramble, but he seems to share a vision of "doomsday" and "World War III."
Frank James March 22 says he's focused on "getting to my final destination safely and just moving on with my life" "if I'm not caught up in doomsday, which I just might be."

"Any day and every day from here on out, as we can see, could be f*ing doomsday."
I'm not hoping to repost enormous amounts of this guy's rambling, but he does lay out a timeline of a lengthy journey.

At the end of a long March 23 rant video, Frank James says he's in Harrisburg.

"Now that I bought myself some time, I can chill out and not rush."
In a 36 minute vulgar and incoherent April 2 rant, NYPD's person of interest in the subway shooting Frank James compares serial killers Ted Bundy and Dennis Lynn Rader with accused George O. Ramsey III, a substance abuse counselor accused of sexually assaulting patients.
In an hour+ video posted April 11 (no more than 36 hours before the attack he is a person of interest in) Frank James says he has "wanted to kill people, wanted to watch them die" but that he was deterred by the possibility of going to prison.
In his final YouTube video on April 11, Frank James says he is "scared to death" of going to prison, and talks about the TV show "Scared Straight."

This is amidst an hour+ long rant, much of which is quite incoherent.
Thread apparently broke here. Cont'd:
The New York Post is reporting that NYC shooting suspect Frank Hanes has been apprehended.

VIDEO THREAD: Armed gun rights activists rallied at the Virginia State Capitol on Monday to protest proposed gun measures under new Democratic Governor Abigail Spanberger.

The Virginia Kekoas militia wore "Boogaloo" style attire for the first time publicly since 2023.

"All the rights, for all the people, all the time" explained the group's leader, who goes by ICE (which is not a reference to the agency of the same name). "We're just going back to our heritage, where we started."

"Things are a little bit more serious this year," explained the Kekoas member who goes by Sasquatch. "This is our unofficial battle cry!"

"I swear I'm not a swinger," he clarified, referencing the pineapples on his Hawaiian shirt.
2) "I'm generally a pretty liberal person, but when I saw videos of ICE jumping out of unmarked vehicles and nabbing people off the street, that's when I bought my first AR15," one attendee of the gun rally explained.

"We're facing tyranny right now, and I want to be prepared if that stuff comes to my neighborhood."

"Tyrannical government, whatever your take on it, that's the point of these bad boys right here," Virginia Kekoas militia member call-sign cross responded to that position, slapping the butt of his rifle.
3) The Virginia Capitol lawn was closed off to attendees carrying firearms, splitting the crowd into those carrying and not.

A man dressed as George Washington attempted to argue with police that his musket is "not a firearm" but was not allowed to pass.

VIDEO THREAD: Pardoned January 6er Jake Lang attempted to hold an anti-Muslim "Crusader March" in Minneapolis today where he was swarmed with hundreds of counter-protesters.

Scuffles broke out, and one of his members sprayed mace around the crowd.
2) Amidst "Feels like -7 F" degree temperatures, protesters sprayed Lang and his crew with water guns as well as silly string while drowning him out with music over a loudspeaker.

Lang apparently was prepared to leave, but couldn't find a path as protesters continued to physically challenge him and his group.

"Let them leave!" some protesters yelled.
3) Lang, who fought police with a baseball bat at the Capitol on January 6, was struck with a wooden stick by a counter-protester.

He grabbed it, briefly holding it up in triumph and keeping control of it until it was grabbed out of his hands.

VIDEO THREAD: Federal agents deployed tear gas, mace, and sting balls against a growing crowd at the scene Wednesday night in Minneapolis following a shooting by ICE.

Some protesters shot fireworks and threw snowballs at the agents, many of whom carried rifles.
2) Agents moved fast while trying to evade the crowd. In one case, the feds got into the bed of a truck, dropped pepper spray and had to get out to grab it before a firework was thrown at them, for which they threw tear gas in return.
3) The scale of the conflict was enormous, spanning a few blocks in each direction from the shooting, lasting a couple hours.

Protesters exchanged fireworks and tear gas on one side of the shooting scene as others engaged with police on the opposite side.

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). Image
Image
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.Image
Image
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. Image

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

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Notably, while government sources have reportedly characterized Cole as “anarchist,” this criminal complaint does not characterize any evidence related to ideological background or motive.

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
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.Image
