Due to this most recent terror plot that was foiled (and also created) by the FBI, the US government is raising the terror threat level to "Cower in Fear"
"The FBI thwarted Emanuel Lutchman's intent to kill civilians on New Year's Eve," Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Buffalo Division Adam Cohen said.
Comment: According to an article in International Business Times:
Lutchman and the other person — who was secretly working with the FBI — allegedly discussed planting a bomb inside the restaurant/bar, kidnapping and killing people and wearing masks to avoid identification. The duo bought masks, gloves, zip ties, knives, duct tape, a machete and ammonia at Walmart Tuesday night. Lutchman later said, "we just gotta do it, man."Sounds like yet another patsy set up by the FBI to take the fall for a terror plot that they created, in order to make them look like they're doing something pro-active (they're not), while also terrorizing people with the idea that terrorism can happen to them anywhere, at any time.
According to the Justice Department, Lutchman received directions from Daesh to carry out an armed attack on civilians at a local bar and restaurant in upstate New York on New Year's Eve. The defendant also had plans to join the terrorist group overseas.
The charges against Lutchman include attempting to provide material support to the Daesh terror group, outlawed in Russia and numerous other states.
If convicted, Lutchman could face 20 years in prison and a fine of $250,000.
The FBI and Department of Homeland Security have increased security preparations across the United States in light of recent Daesh-linked terrorist attacks. US media have reported that President Barack Obama was briefed on heightened terrorist threats in three major US cities over the New Year's holiday.
People see this and say, "Look at that...the system is working." I say, "Look at Boston, San Bernardino, Charleston, Chattanooga. How do you not see that there's a larger game being played?"
