Terrorism in California > Far-Left terror plot for NYE foiled by FBI; Screaming gunmen for on Hanukkah house in Redlands
FBI foils New Year’s Eve bombing plot, arrests 4 alleged suspects in ‘radical’ anti-ICE group
Federal authorities have arrested alleged suspects in a far-left domestic terror group that was planning to detonate a series of explosive devices on New Year’s Eve.
At a press conference Monday, authorities announced that they had arrested four members of the group Turtle Island Liberation Front last Friday, foiling a bomb plot set for Dec. 31.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation worked with the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Central District of California to apprehend the individuals who were planning to target multiple companies.
Officials with the U.S. Attorney's Offices for the Western District of Louisiana and for the District of Massachusetts also helped in the investigation, as warrants were issued across the nation.
The four individuals who allegedly planned to carry out the New Year’s Eve attacks were identified as Audrey Carroll, 30; Zachary Page, 32; Dante Gaffield, 24; and Tina Lai, 41.
“Turtle Island” is used by some indigenous groups and radical activists as a name for North America due to “America” being derived from Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci.
According to U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli for the Central District of California, defendant Carroll had formed a faction of the group known as the Order of the Black Lotus, to which the other three defendants belonged.
“The charges we are announcing today stem from the defendants and their co-conspirators' detailed, coordinated plot to bomb multiple U.S. companies on New Year's Eve. Thankfully, that plot has now been foiled thanks to the hard work of the FBI and the Department of Justice,” stated Essayli.
Essayli noted that the group self-identifies as “an anti-capitalist, anti-government movement that calls for their associates to rise up and fight back against capitalism.”
According to Essayli, in November, Carroll created an “explicit” plan to bomb at least five locations across southern California, with the intention of enacting “follow-up attacks” on agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The individuals allegedly traveled to the desert to test their explosive devices, having possessed all the necessary parts to build a bomb. At that point, authorities arrested members of the group.
Searches of the suspects’ residences in the Los Angeles area turned up posters declaring “Death to America,” “Long Live Turtle Island and Palestine” and “Death to ICE,” Essayli added.
“This case is another reminder about the dangers that radicalized Antifa-like groups pose to people, public safety and the rule of law,” he continued. “We disrupted this terror plot before buildings were demolished or innocent people were killed. But this is not the end of our work.”
In September, President Donald Trump issued an executive order officially designating Antifa, the violent, far-left activist group, a “domestic terrorist organization.”
“All relevant executive departments and agencies shall utilize all applicable authorities to investigate, disrupt, and dismantle any and all illegal operations — especially those involving terrorist actions — conducted by Antifa or any person claiming to act on behalf of Antifa,” stated the executive order.
The order was part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to combat left-wing extremist violence following the assassination of conservative Christian activist Charlie Kirk.
Critics of these efforts by the administration have argued that they ignore violence from right-wing extremist groups, which is purportedly more common than far-left terrorism.
“And really, it’s not close,” said Michael Jensen, research director at the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism consortium at the University of Maryland, to The Washington Post.
“It’s something like 5-to-1 in terms of the number of attacks and deaths that can be attributed to far-right actors as opposed to far-left actors,” he said.
Other reports, however, have found that left-wing terrorism is on the rise, while right-wing acts of violence have declined, according to a recent report from the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) that analyzed over 30 years of data.
It would be very interesting to see the statistics from the last 3 years.

California: Screaming Gunmen fire 20 rounds at home decorated for Hanukkah
Could be leftists. Could be jihadis. At this point both are violent, antisemitic, and emboldened. The distinction between them may be at this point one without a difference.
Police investigate drive-by attack at Redlands home
decorated for Hanukkah
by Sydney Barragan, Redlands Daily Facts, December 14, 2025:
Police are investigating the report of a drive-by shooting with an estimated 20 rounds fired that was aimed at a Redlands home decorated for Hanukkah, followed by an obscenity shouted from a car.
The resident posted an account of what happened the evening of Friday Dec. 12 on social media, along with a surveillance video. Police later said the weapon used was likely an airsoft gun, as officers found no shell casings around the house….
“While we are relieved that no injuries occurred, it is important to reaffirm our support of our community members, no matter their faith,” Mayor Mario Saucedo said in a statement. “Violence and hatred have no place in Redlands.”
The episode occurred on the 1300 block of Magnolia Avenue, police said.
Jonpaul Sione Yohanan Cohen wrote on Instagram, “My family and (I) were attacked by an antisemitic shooter tonight …” “The group … accosted me publicly 3 minutes before the shooting by screaming “free Palestine *n-word*.”
A few moments later, he wrote, “Our security camera caught sight of the shooter discharging at least 20 rounds from a yet unidentified projectile weapon at my family’s house and Chanukah decorations.”
An obsenity was then shouted from the car as it drove off...
And just two days after the Brown U. shooting. Amazing!

The Islamization of Europe > Can Germans stop the Muslim crime wave - They can, but they won't; UK Muslim stabs two men in the neck because of loud music
In Germany, a Muslim Crime Wave
By
16 CommentsIn Germany, new data from the Federal Criminal Police Force has been reported that convincingly exposes the staggering rate of violent criminality among Muslim migrants, and especially among those who came from Afghanistan and. Syria as “asylum seekers.” Now the wars in both countries have ended, and there is no longer any reason for these migrants, who claimed to be from fleeing wars, not to now be returned home. Robert Spencer wrote about this here, and more on this crime data can be found here:
Germany: Syrians and Afghans reach new violent crime highs, over 10x more likely to commit a violent crime than a German
Remix News, December 8, 2025:
A shocking new report detailing crime data from Germany, known as the Bundeskriminalamt’s (BKA) “situation report,” reveals once again the massive over-representation of foreigners in the violent and serious crime statistics, in particular groups like Syrians and Afghans.
The data, which was shared by Bild, reports on “crime in the context of immigration” for 2024. It shows that Syrians and Afghans are far more likely to commit violent offenses than Germans.
163 out of 100,000 German residents were recorded for a violent crime.
For Syrians, this is over 1,000 percent higher, reaching 1,740 per 100,000.
For Afghans, this figure is 1,722 per 100,000….
Though five countries together accounted for most of the criminals, it is the nationals of Afghanistan and Syria who have by far committed most of the crimes.
German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt (CSU) stated that the German government will enact tougher measures to combat these trends. He said that anyone who integrates, works, and follows the laws in Germany will not have issues. However, those who are criminals or classified as a danger will lose their right to stay. As a result, the interior ministry is seeking to increase deportations, including for those from Syria and Afghanistan, to reduce the rate of perpetrators.
Well, with the fierce urgency of now, what should the Germans do to save themselves? Here’s what: Let the German federal police spread the grim news about the crime rates of the Afghans, the Syrians, and the rest of the flotsam and jetsam from the Muslim lands that have managed to enter Germany. Make sure that the German media do not drop the ball on this, but continue to cover this story, including new vignettes every day about the victims of violent Muslim criminals. Channel the slow-burning popular anger, so that pressure is put on the government to halt, in the first place, all those would-be migrants still coming from Afghanistan and Syria, and in the second place, to extend that ban to migrants from the other fifty-five Muslim lands, and at the same time, to ensure that after serving their sentences Muslim criminals are promptly deported back to their countries of origin. Germans, Sie können dies tun! You can do this!

UK: Muslim migrant slits man’s throat for playing loud music
“When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” (Qur’an 47:4)
Why was Adam Ahmed “eerily calm”? One reason could be that the Qur’an promises that fighting unbelievers will soothe the hearts of the believers: “Fight them, and Allah will punish them by your hands, and he will lay them low and give you victory over them, and he will heal the hearts of people who are believers. And he will remove the anger of their hearts.” (Qur’an 9:14-5)
Oh, and by the way, Islam forbids music except a cappella nasheeds, that is, songs exhorting the believers to wage jihad.
“‘Imran bin Husain narrated that the Messenger of Allah(s.a.w) said: ‘In this Ummah there shall be collapsing of the earth, transformation and Qadhf.’ A man among the Muslims said: ‘O Messenger of Allah! When is that?’ He said: ‘When singing slave-girls, music, and drinking intoxicants spread.’” (Jami at-Tirmidhi 2212)
“It was narrated from Abu Malik Ash’ari that the Messenger of Allah (ï·º) said: ‘People among my nation will drink wine, calling it by another name, and musical instruments will be played for them and singing girls (will sing for them). Allah will cause the earth to swallow them up, and will turn them into monkeys and pigs.’” (Sunan Ibn Majah 4020)
“Narrated Aisha: Abu Bakr came to my house while two small Ansari girls were singing beside me the stories of the Ansar concerning the Day of Buath. And they were not singers. Abu Bakr said protestingly, ‘Musical instruments of Satan in the house of Allah’s Messenger (ï·º) !’ It happened on the `Id day and Allah’s Messenger (ï·º) said, ‘O Abu Bakr! There is an `Id for every nation and this is our `Id.’” (Sahih al-Bukhari 952)
MIGRANT STABBING ‘Eerily-calm’ migrant knifed two neighbours after he accused them of playing loud music & mocking him,”
by Robin Perrie, The Sun, December 7, 2025:
AN “eerily-calm” migrant knifed two neighbours he accused of playing loud music and mocking him for not having a job.
Adam Ahmed stabbed Leon Askew in the neck then walked upstairs and knifed Robert Graham at the multi-lodge property.They hid with pals and later needed surgery.
They said Ahmed, 30, was eerily calm and had barely spoken to them before the June attacks.
Newcastle crown court heard Ahmed made three complaints about noise, saying cops did nothing.
He fled war-torn Sudan in 2013, stayed in Libya, Italy and France, got here “by car” and has spent five years in Sunderland.
He was found guilty of attempted murder and wounding with intent. Sentencing is next month….
Massacre of Jews celebrating Hanukkah at Sydney's Bondi Beach, 12 dead, 29 wounded; Brown U. shooting 2 dead, 8 injured
Brown University fatal shooting suspect arrested, police confirm
Police in Rhode Island said early Sunday that they had a suspect in custody after a shooting that rocked the Brown University campus during final exams, leaving two people dead and nine others wounded.
Col. Oscar Perez, chief of the Providence police, confirmed at a news conference that the detained suspect was in their 30s. Perez did not say where the suspect was arrested or whether the suspect was connected to the university.
The shooting erupted in the engineering building of the Ivy League school in Providence, Rhode Island, during final exams. Hundreds of police officers had scoured the Brown University campus along with nearby neighborhoods and pored over video in pursuit of a shooter who opened fire in a classroom.
Providence leaders warned that residents will notice a heavier police presence on Sunday. Many local businesses announced they would remain closed and expressed shock and heartbreak as the community continued to process the news of the shooting.
“Everybody’s reeling, and we have a lot of recovery ahead of us,” said Brown University President Christina Paxson said at the news conference.
Surveillance video released by police showed the suspect, dressed in black, calmly walking away from the scene. His face was not visible and investigators said it wasn’t clear whether the suspect is a student.
The suspect was last seen leaving the engineering building and some witnesses told police the suspect may have been wearing a camouflage mask, Providence Police Deputy Chief Timothy O’Hara said.
Earlier, Paxson said she was told 10 people who were shot were students. Another person was injured by fragments from the shooting but it was not clear if the victim was a student, she said.
The search for the shooter paralyzed the campus, the nearby neighborhoods filled with stately brick homes and the downtown in Rhode Island’s capital city. Streets normally bustling with activity on weekends were eerily quiet.
Students sheltered in place for hours into the night. Officers in tactical gear led students out of some campus buildings and into a fitness center where they waited. Others arrived at the shelter on buses without jackets or any belongings.
Mayor advised people to stay home
Investigators were not immediately sure how the shooter got inside the first-floor classroom. Outer doors of the building were unlocked but rooms being used for final exams required badge access, Providence Mayor Brett Smiley said.
He encouraged people living near the campus to stay inside or not return home until a shelter-in-place order was lifted.
“The Brown community’s heart is breaking and Providence’s heart is breaking along with it,” Smiley said.
Hours before the press conference, authorities said they believed the shooter used a handgun, according to a law enforcement official who was not authorized to discuss an ongoing investigation and spoke on condition of anonymity.
Rhode Island has some of the strictest gun laws in the U.S.
Nine people with gunshot wounds were taken to Rhode Island Hospital, where one was in critical condition. Six required intensive care but were not getting worse and two were stable, hospital spokesperson Kelly Brennan said.
Exams were underway during shooting
Engineering design exams were underway when the shooting occurred in the Barus & Holley building, a seven-story complex that houses the School of Engineering and physics department. The building includes more than 100 laboratories, dozens of classrooms and offices, according to the university’s website.
Emma Ferraro, a chemical engineering student, was in the building’s lobby working on a final project when she heard loud pops coming from the east side. Once she realized they were gunshots, she darted for the door and ran to a nearby building where she sheltered for several hours.
Former ‘Survivor’ contestant just left the building
Eva Erickson, a doctoral candidate who was the runner-up earlier this year on the CBS reality competition show “Survivor,” said she left her lab in the engineering building 15 minutes before shots rang out.
The engineering and thermal science student shared candid moments on “Survivor” as the show’s first openly autistic contestant. She was locked down in the campus gym following the shooting and shared on social media that the only other member of her lab who was present was safely evacuated.
Brown senior biochemistry student Alex Bruce was working on a final research project in his dorm directly across the street from the building when he heard sirens outside.
“I’m just in here shaking,” he said, watching through the window as armed officers surrounded his dorm.
Students hid under desks
Students in a nearby lab turned off the lights and hid under desks after receiving an alert about the shooting, said Chiangheng Chien, a doctoral student in engineering who was about a block away from the scene.
Mari Camara, 20, a junior from New York City, was coming out of the library and rushed inside a taqueria to seek shelter. She spent more than three hours there, texting friends while police searched the campus.
“Everyone is the same as me, shocked and terrified that something like this happened,” she said.
Brown, the seventh oldest higher education institution in the U.S., is one of the nation’s most prestigious colleges with roughly 7,300 undergraduates and more than 3,000 graduate students. Tuition, housing and other fees run to nearly $100,000 per year, according to the university.
