Earlier today, FBI Director Kash Patel announced: “On June 10, FBI and our law enforcement partners became aware of a potential threat to the UFC America 250 event in Washington, D.C. involving individuals outside of the National Capital Region – and thanks to the rapid action of this FBI, our partners, and the Department of Justice in a multi-state operation, multiple individuals are now in custody and allegedly planned attacks were stopped cold.”
According to law enforcement officials, a California native named Michael Alan Thomas (insert, right) of Pinon Hills was the organizer of several people online who planned to use drones to strike UFC Freedom 250 events, nearby buildings and create chaos. The goal was to funnel the crowd and then use sniper fire and a ground assault on a White House gate.
Another suspect in the case, 19-year-old Ohio resident Tycen Proper, was intercepted following an alert from his family.
NY Post – […] “The alleged conspiracy first came to light after Proper’s family contacted authorities in Ohio, worried about his recent behavior, firearms purchases and interactions with an online group espousing anti-government views.
Investigators later uncovered encrypted chats laying out plans for an attack timed to coincide with UFC Freedom 250, a major event held on the White House lawn that was attended by Trump and other senior government officials, according to the complaint. (read more)
Federal authorities also tied another alleged conspirator, Bryan Omar Roa (above, left), to Yucaipa, California. Using the encrypted alias “Noble6,” Roa allegedly coordinated with the anti-government group to help plot the drone-and-sniper attack against high-value targets at the White House event.
Internal chat logs reviewed by investigators show Roa discussing weapons and tactical gear, offering to contribute money for equipment and researching ways to avoid detection online, according to the complaint.
Punk patrol
Why do all these evil people look alike?
Like Punks!
My guess for the loons wild-eyed looks, screeching behavior and violent actions … something like fauciSTEIN’s evil “Covid” shots of poison … is being added to their daily meds, birth-control pills/shots and tattoo ink.
Screened, selected and put under the “care” of aligned “mental health professionals”. Kept on the “edge” with BigPharma meds. Feds have stables of them. Loonies on a leash.
Gretchen Whitmer enters the chat. . .
3rd rate ( 4th???) punk suspects turned in by their landlords ( parents basement dwellers ). Being played up as terrorist plot interrupted by heroic FBI action. They made silent movies about these kinda actions way back when …. Keystone Kops. Sad level of media and substack reporting!
“ways to avoid detection online”.
Udder stupidity, in the age of AI you cannot avoid detection. I have a feeling their parents may be glad they are under arrest and out of the house.
California connection.
Wasn’t the Correspondent’s Dinner suspect from California too?
Has anyone checked Newsom’s finances and personal messages to see if there’s a link? Trump seems to live in his head….and I’m sure Newsom is tired if Trump winning all the time….just a theory…not accusing!
The news last night said a key aid in the defeat of this plot was one of the guys moms turned him in. I wonder when we’ll find out how many FBI assets were involved in the plot like in Michigan and a large number of others.
I knew to ask this because I saw it covered in some video:
Q: Has the FBI under Cash Patel ever moved a criminal upward in the most wanted list just prior to capture?
Yes, according to multiple reports from mid-2026, the FBI under Director Kash Patel (often spelled “Cash” informally) has done this on several occasions as part of its Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list (and a new Most Wanted Fraudsters list).
Critics, including FBI insiders and media outlets like MS NOW, have accused the bureau of “gaming” or “padding” arrest statistics by strategically adding or elevating fugitives to the list shortly before planned captures. This makes successes appear more tied to the high-profile list.
Key Examples
– Samuel Ramirez Jr.: Added to the Ten Most Wanted list and apprehended in Mexico (Culiacán) just one hour and 13 minutes later in March 2026. He faced double-homicide charges. Agents reportedly planned operations in advance, with the addition timed for stats.
– KaShawn Nicola Roper: Apprehended in Florida less than a day after being added to the list last month (relative to May 2026 reporting). She faced second-degree murder charges.
– Of six fugitives caught since Patel was sworn in (by around May 2026), four were seized within a month of elevation to the top of the list, with two within 24 hours.
Similar patterns appeared with the new Most Wanted Fraudsters list (launched around June 4, 2026). For instance, Said Abdullahi Ereg surrendered less than a week after being added.
Broader Context
Patel and the FBI have highlighted a strong record: capturing six to eight Ten Most Wanted fugitives in roughly one year (far exceeding prior administrations), alongside other arrests. This includes long-time fugitives like MS-13 leaders and others extradited from Mexico.
The list additions themselves are not inherently unusual—the FBI updates the Ten Most Wanted based on priorities, tips, and operational needs—but the very short timelines (hours to days) before arrests have drawn scrutiny as statistical manipulation rather than organic leads from public visibility.
These reports come from a mix of official FBI announcements, Patel’s statements, and critical insider sourcing. Supporters view it as effective leadership and aggressive prioritization; detractors call it stat-padding. No evidence suggests this violates rules, but it has fueled partisan debate.
I just came to post that Alvarez in not a US citizen but his country of origin remains unclear.

Q: Did the many East Coast drone sightings in the news in 2024 occur just prior to Congressional votes related to drone defense and were many of those drones later admitted to be FAA approved?
Yes to both parts of your question.
Timing and Congressional Activity
– The major wave of public East Coast (especially New Jersey) drone sightings occurred in late 2024 (starting mid-to-late November, peaking in December), not primarily in 2025. This is often referred to as the 2024 United States drone sightings incident.
– These sightings did coincide with heightened Congressional attention to drone threats and counter-drone legislation:
– Lawmakers held hearings, briefings (including closed House Intelligence Committee sessions), and pushed for expanded federal counter-UAS (Unmanned Aircraft Systems) authorities. Existing powers from the 2018 FAA Reauthorization Act were set to expire, prompting urgency.
– The Biden administration and officials urged Congress to extend/expand counter-drone measures. A bipartisan bill (Counter-UAS Authority Security, Safety, and Reauthorization Act) was discussed in hearings.
– The Senate passed an extension of certain powers until September 2025. Further drone-related legislation (e.g., DRONE Act of 2025) appeared in the 119th Congress.
– Additional hearings on unauthorized drone activity over military installations continued into 2025 (e.g., April 2025).
The sightings amplified calls for better drone defense laws, even if they weren’t the sole cause.
Nature of the Drones and Admissions
– In January 2025, the Trump administration (via White House press secretary) stated that many of the reported drones were FAA-authorized for research, commercial, hobbyist, or private purposes. Some sightings were likely misidentified manned aircraft, stars/planets, or amplified by social media/panic.
In summary: The late-2024 sightings aligned with (and boosted) Congressional pushes for drone defense legislation, with actions extending into 2025. Many were later attributed to authorized (FAA-approved) or benign activity rather than covert U.S. military ops, though real incursions over bases were acknowledged as a separate, ongoing concern. [my guess would be that they were classified friendly forces “Red Team” tests of base reactions – W] This remains a topic with some lingering public skepticism and unresolved details.
“FBI intercepts online plot”, my immediate thought is: here we go again.
Ditto…
Interesting how these “near misses” occur when the IC wants something passed by Congress, isn’t it?
Was there most likely continuous, active jamming of the frequencies used by hobbyist drones at the recent UFC event at the White House?
No, there is no public evidence of continuous, active jamming of hobbyist drone frequencies (typically in the 2.4 GHz or 5.8 GHz ISM bands used by many consumer drones). [OF COURSE there would be no “public evidence” – W]
Would such jamming be legally allowed by the FCC?
Yes, continuous or targeted active jamming of hobbyist drone frequencies (e.g., 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz ISM bands) would most likely be legally allowed for authorized federal agencies at a high-profile White House event.
Was there any authorized commercial camera drone use at the UFC event?
No, there is no public evidence of authorized commercial camera drone use at the UFC Freedom 250 event on the White House South Lawn.
The White House complex and surrounding National Capital Region operate under strict FAA Special Flight Rules and Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs), especially for high-profile events. Unauthorized drone flights are prohibited in this airspace, with limited exceptions typically reserved for law enforcement or authorized federal operations (e.g., counter-UAS overwatch).
Could that be why the event was on the White House grounds? You figure it out…
On the valid drone threat issue, the drone detection and, possibly, jamming system at the Butler, PA event didn’t work due to what the operator thought might be a “signal issue” from the AM when it was first turned on long before Crooks ever showed up, but suddenly started working 42 minutes AFTER Crooks had flown his drone. It has been officially stated that if the system had been working he would more likely have been caught and yet no details have ever been provided about the drone system problem.
My suspicions: Someone watching Crooks without his knowledge knew he planned to fly a drone and jammed the drone system to protect him from detection.
By “someone watching Crooks” I meant covertly monitoring by every means what he was doing and planning, not just physically watching him.
Kyle Seraphin is an American former FBI special agent, U.S. Air Force veteran, and federal whistleblower who was indefinitely suspended from the bureau in 2022 after publicly criticizing its leadership and operations, including allegations of entrapment in counterterrorism cases targeting right-wing extremists. Following his suspension, Seraphin has hosted The Kyle
Seraphin Show, a daily conservative podcast streamed live on platforms including Rumble, X (formerly Twitter), and YouTube, where he provides commentary on civil liberties and government accountability as a self-described “recovering FBI agent.”
Following his indefinite suspension from the FBI in June 2022, Seraphin emerged as a whistleblower by publicly disclosing alleged misconduct within the Bureau. In September 2022, he accused the FBI of politicizing counterterrorism efforts, claiming agents were directed to open investigations against perceived right-wing extremists using overly broad definitions of domestic terrorism threats, primarily to inflate case statistics and meet performance quotas rather than address genuine risks. These revelations, shared through media interviews, highlighted what Seraphin described as a systemic bias that prioritized political narratives over national security priorities.
Seraphin’s whistleblowing extended to advocating for civil liberties, emphasizing protections against what he viewed as the FBI’s overreach into political and ideological monitoring. He criticized practices that allegedly conflated protected speech or associations with extremism, arguing they eroded constitutional safeguards for Americans. In February 2023, he publicly released an internal FBI memo from the Richmond field office that characterized “radical traditionalist Catholic” groups as potential domestic terrorism threats, accusing the agency of surveilling religious communities without sufficient evidence of criminality. This disclosure underscored his broader claims of ideological targeting within the Bureau’s intelligence
operations.
The day of the bread and circuses UFC event:
Q: What part of FISA expired on June 13, 2026?
ChatGPT:
The authority that lapsed on June 13, 2026 (technically at midnight at the start of June 13, after June 12 ended) was primarily Title VII of FISA, which includes Section 702. Section 702 is the best-known part because it authorizes surveillance targeting non-U.S. persons abroad with compelled assistance from communications providers.
A common shorthand in news reports is to say “Section 702 expired.” That’s accurate in practical terms because Section 702 is the major operational authority in Title VII. However, the sunset provision applies to all of Title VII, not just Section 702. Other Title VII authorities related to targeting certain U.S. persons overseas also lapsed with it. The rest of FISA—such as traditional court-approved surveillance authorities under Titles I and III—did not expire.
Don’t expect that the sort of low information voters who reelect multiple times the close to 50% of “Republicans” in the Senate who have D and F Liberty Scores with many more Fs than Ds will realize the significance of the fact that 702 warrants are supposed to involve some sort of foreign involvement.
———-
Another point: between the 10th when the plot was “discovered” and before the bread and circuses UFC event on the 13th they managed to stop an attack which involved a now claimed 23 people.
TERROR PLOT DISRUPTED!? FBI Director “breaks” story… | Ep 820 (1:52:45)

“According to officials, the FBI learned about this threat on June the 10th. Just in time… It was a Wednesday and then there was a Thursday and then there was a Friday and on Saturday FISA ran out. Just saying.”
I don’t know the truth of what happened. But I know the FIB’s version ain’t the truth. It has less than zero credibility, and the story smells far-fetched, convenient to the narrative of those who hate MAGA and freedom.
How many FIB’s are part of the ‘conspiracy?’ Like in Michigan, Pipe Bomber, J6? Same stink on this story.
And the supposed motivation being that the US is run by an elite cabal connected to Epstein, pedophiles, child sacrifices, etc, well, it’s true. It’s freaking horribly true.
So the FIB lurkers here on CTH can flag me and add me to their list of suspicious domestics to surveille.
Trotting out those of us who speak the gawdawful truth of it is convenient to criminalizing truth speakers.
They want friends and families of truth speakers to suspect and turn in truth speakers, marginalize those telling the truth, make the speaking the truth to be dangerous conspiracy theorists.
I don’t know what those arrested did, the actual threat they posed. But I know the FIB’s story isn’t true. And I know the FIB’s story serves another agenda that isn’t in the interests of the American people, but is in the interests of the criminal cabal that’s running the US and the world.
Your average run of the mill democrats.
The ringleader watched the series Blindspot way too much. He called himself “Shepherd” which is the main antagonist who is trying to reset the government in the second season.
Kyle analyzes the criminal complaints with an FBI agent’s knowledge, someone who has been directly involved in such things. Sarcastic hilarity ensues. Drones are definitely a threat as clearly shown in Ukraine, but this plot appears to have been a clown show in every respect and it ticks off some of his essential elements predicted in a previous video for maximum justification to target problematic internal threats.
White House Drone Attack Terrorist Complaints UNSEALED; IRAN MOU Revealed | Ep 821 (2:41:40)

“There are two things you have to assess when you talk about a terrorist plot, and I think we talked about this yesterday. One of them is the aspiration, and the other is the capability. These guys seem to have all of the aspiration to do all of the dumb things that they said. They would like to do that. That was their plan, that was their goal. But it was aspirational only. The gap between aspiration and capability was like the Grand Canyon, and these guys are not, you know, they’re not Evil Knievel. They’re not making that jump. They’re not gonna jump from, “We wanna do this thing,” to, “We can actually do this thing.”
And you can ask it very simply, saying, “Hey, do they have the weapons? Do they have the training? Do they have the background? Do they have the capabilities of engaging in, like, overlapping fields of sniper fire? Do they have the drones? Do they have the explosives? Have they been able to put the two things together and make them work?” The media would have you, especially the right-wing media now, because quote-unquote, “Our guys are there,” they don’t want you to think about that. They don’t want you to ask questions about that. They want you to hear it and accept it blindly, and they also want you to cheer on Kash Patel. “He’s so great. He broke the story. He scooped the news on sealed freaking court documents.”
Okay, I’m gonna give you guys a hypothetical. Chat, you’re coming on the screen with me. Here’s the hypothetical. You have secret knowledge as the pater or mater familias.
You are in charge of your family, and you know certain things, and your children’s lives could be at risk if these things were true. Here’s the deal. If you go to the recital that your child is performing in, if you were to take your whole family, you’re aware that there is a fill-in-the-blank, ultra-conservative, anti-government, anti-corruption, anti-techonology extremist, militia violence extremist, anti-Epstein class, anti-elitist, pseudo-communistic, right-wing, left-wing fanatic organization that is going to bomb the recital, and they’re gonna bomb it with drones, and they’re gonna bomb just the back end of the building so the front end of the building looks like it’s safe. And then, when you run out of the front end of the building, you know that they are setting up overlapping fields of fire with snipers to kill people coming out of the building. Let’s say you know that.
And then, because you have incredible powers, let’s call it, uh, your HOA authorities, you’re somehow on the HOA board. Your HOA jumps into action and they eliminate, arrest, or otherwise neutralize five of the 23 people involved in said plot to destroy the recital, to drop the bombs, and to shoot the things. You got five of them. Are you going to that recital? There’s only 18 of them left, and you think you might have gotten the people who were probably in charge of the thing. So, are you gonna go? You wanna go see what happens? You wanna see the recital? Or are you gonna keep your kids home? Well, if you’re Kash Patel, you’re going to the recital. Yes, you are.
This is [a photo] of the FBI director with the girl who is his friend at the Freedom 250 UFC fight event on the White House lawn, knowing that there are apparently 18 people involved in a plot to kill everybody at this event, and he’s physically there, which is confirmation in and of itself, I would suggest to you, this is confirmation that that plot was complete bullshit and was never real.”
If any of these guys have actual military training – TREASON; execute.
