We can thank the FBI for foiling a MAGA race war that was being planned for this summer.
Top News Today :
Like it or not, Donald Trump is a deeply divisive figure. He created the MAGA (Make America Great Again) mentality and has stoked the flames among White Americans that they are in danger of losing their majority privilege — and must do everything possible to fight now or lose it all.
Well, many whites have heard the call and are taking those claims personally.
In a move that appears to be a preview of what’s to come, a MAGA man from Arizona believed the hype that White America is in danger and decided it was up to him to stop it before it was too late.
According to The New York Times, Mark Adams Prieto hatched a plan to openly shoot and kill Black people in Atlanta. More specifically, he planned to attend a concert and kill as many Blacks as possible to incite an all-out MAGA ‘race war’ before the 2024 presidential election.
Prieto needed help carrying out his shooting spree. So, he met with 2 other presumed racists to help him kill Blacks. However, what Prieto didn’t know is that the 2 would-be accomplices were actually agents of the FBI, who eventually arrested him before his scheme could take place.
In a recorded conversation with the 2 men, Prieto said, “The reason I say Atlanta. Why, why is Georgia such a f*cked up state now? When I was a kid, that was one of the most conservative states in the country. Why is it not now? Because as the crime got worse in LA, St. Louis and all these other cities, all the n*ggers moved out of those [places] and moved to Atlanta. That is why it isn’t so great anymore.
“We’re going to fight back now, and every whitey across the country will be the enemy,” he also told the 2 men.
Prieto suggested they leave behind Confederate flags at the attack site and shout “KKK all the way” and “Black lives don’t matter, white lives matter,” to make clear the shooting was racially motivated.
He also stressed that it was important to show “no mercy, no quarter” because he believed Black people “can’t have any feeling, they’re not people, they are monsters as far as I’m concerned.”
After giving the men their marching orders for the planned attack, Prieto sold an AK-style rifle and an AR-style rifle to one of the individuals. During the entire investigation, the Federal Bureau of Investigation closely monitored Prieto’s movements.
He was eventually reported to authorities by an acquaintance who said he heard Prieto make comments that included “advocating for a mass shooting” that specifically targeted “Blacks, Jews, or Muslims.”
Prieto has now been charged with Firearms Trafficking, Transfer of a Firearm for Use in a Hate Crime, as well as Possession of an Unregistered Firearm, which comes with a maximum sentence of 15 years and 10 years, respectively. If convicted of both crimes, Prieto also faces hefty fines of $250,000 for each charge.
That news that followers of Donald Trump are planning mass killings may be a surprise to some but not all. Democratic Congresswoman Maxine Waters of California said she believes Trump’s remarks that he is “fighting for the Constitution” was a clandestine call to arms for his blindly faithful followers to instigate a MAGA race war.
“Are they preparing a civil war against us? Should we be concerned about our safety? What is he doing with this divisive language?” Waters pondered during a recent segment on MSNBC. “How far is this going to go? Are they going to be attacking? Whom are they going to attack? What are we going to do? We’re trying to get an investigation going about that.”
Waters added that Trump’s rhetoric can’t be ignored.
“It is dangerous and we are going to have to be sure that we understand that we’re now at risk with this man talking in the way that he is doing.”
Or, in other words, win or lose, we should all expect and prepare for trouble from Donald Trump and his MAGA sycophants.
OK WASSUP! discusses the Top News Today:
MAGA race war halted by the FBI with more trouble expected.
I hadn’t heard about this story until now. Thanks you DJ!
The two things that really stand out with me about this sorry and evil-azz story begins with this:
Even though his plan was to recruit to like-minded creatures to assist him in carrying out mass murders, he was basically a Lone Wolf. Regular readers may recall I’ve felt for quite some time that it’s the Lone Wolf types we really have to be vigilant about. Not dismissing the mob type white racists.
But I do the think Jan 6 “fallout” has really scared the sh*t out of most of them. They’re mostly keypad warriors now.
