This weekly column features news stories and event announcements from around the American Redoubt region. (Idaho, Montana, eastern Oregon, eastern Washington, and Wyoming.) Much of the region is also more commonly known as The Inland Northwest. We also mention companies of interest to preppers and survivalists that are located in the American Redoubt region. Today, an examination of the much-publicized “Idaho ISIS” case. (See the Idaho section.)
Idaho
FBI arrests Idaho 18-year-old for ‘violent plot’ to attack churches on behalf of ISIS, Justice Department says. (A hat tip to reader C.B. for the link.)
- Charging documents are here.
- This article has some relevant details from the document.
- J.M., a SurvivalBllog reader from the CDA area also wrote to mention: “An FBI informant drove the kid to the hardware store to get a pipe and butane cylinders, and took the photo of him in front of the ISIS flag.”
- Idaho ISIS suspect’s arrest highlights how ‘crypto is increasingly popular’ with extremist groups, expert says. [The statist mainstream media never misses an opportunity to denigrate [private cryptocurrencies.]
- The three FBI informants were driving this delusional and impressionable kid around, because he didn’t have a driver’s license! They also provided him the ISIS flag. This is as close to a “manufactured terrorism conspiracy” as you can get. When three of the four conspirators are paid FBI informants, it is almost surely a set-up. I’ll be curious to learn if any of the three FBI informants plotted with the suspect before he turned 18. – JWR
