Almost every so-called terror attack “foiled by the FBI” in the USA is fake—and the plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer was, too. We also talk snitches and bullshit.

Wolverine Watchmen -- wolverine state guys. Michigan Wolverines football ya know?

Jamie Gilbert

Richard Trask got two mothafuckin days for choking and assaulting his wife. Choking your partner being the number one sign you will murder them. What a joke

Nathan Bebo

And now they're out. Unfortunate.

Kasz

As a Michigander, sorry.

Andrew Kuhs

Oh hell yes, been wanting to hear something on the “kidnapping” plot.

One of the people involved in this whole thing was an alumni of my High school :0. Excited to hear my insane home state be talked about in this episode!

A great book on the topic of “foiled” terror plots is called Terror Factory by Trevor Aaronson. It’s nearly ten years old now, but still relevant in methodology. He identified that of almost 500 terrorism prosecutions between 9/11 and 2011, nearly half involved informants and, crucially some had been aid upwards of $100,000 PER assignment - PER. 49 defendants were involved in plots LED BY agent provocateurs, a theme that would continue to rise, and I assume still does. Considering the pivot to domestic terrorism unrelated to mid-east “sympathies”, as the Islamic threat began to fade from the public’s imagination, one wonders how many of the mass shootings were organic. Not ALL; I’m thinking of the particularly baffling in scope, à la Mandalay Bay or that shooting at a nightclub, I can’t recall the location - Santa Cruz? Florida somewhere? The internet is certainly rife with the ideal pair of FBI predators and lonely folks. Maybe I’m underestimating the capacity of independent violence, but I’m not so convinced of that randomness or even simple cultural influence anymore. Liz is right, it’s like a system that exists only to justify its necessity. Talk about make work jobs. Bastards.

Assessing the assessors, an assessors assessment

Love Liz & Brace but when they were puzzling over why an informant, in Michigan, was drawn to a group called Wolverine Watchmen - I was like it’s Michigan!! Half the stuff here has a Wolverine on it. If I were still on Facebook, it probably would have been suggested to me.

Robert Booth

Another banger. You guys have been on fire the last couple months. Great episode.

Boogaloo bunion? That’s what I call my girls toes when im suckin em

The Lomax Chronicles

Re January 6, how's this for finely tuned tinfoil hat: McConnell and Pelosi / Schumer invited the attack to discredit Trump and Trumpism...Note, the politicos were never in any real danger; the second it got even close to that level they shot that woman in the neck. It's a common tactic at regular out of control protests -- the cops will let it build for a while so they can arrest more / crack more skulls when they see fit. This is just another Freddy Gray protest on a grander scale and with diametrically opposed protestors. They get to send a "fuck around and find out" msg to radical Trumpers, nobody "important" got hurt or will do time, and certain of the milquetoast element among Trump's supporters will think "Well, gee, I liked him okay until it came to this." And so back to business as usual...

The wolverine is the Michigan state animal and the mascot for U of M you dorks.

Ian

ALF/ELF episode when?

gen~

BRACE IN DRAG

Kasz

Brace the TSA canary. I haven't flown in over a decade but if Brace can still get on an airplane I probably can too.

lolwuthappend

that's funny, I feel like they've completely lost their shine and have been phoning it in for the last half a year. this ep was pretty good though

lolwuthappend

wolverines are the U of M mascot

Kasz

Actually it's because of an 1867 poll taken of white male property owners about their favorite X-Man.

Dirk

Wolverine didn’t join the X-Men until 1975

Kompromatic

These nerds need to watch some sports

Jason Stephens

i hear they’re trying to ban it in the schools 😣

James Murray

I think you guys talked about this when the April and March protests started last year, but before the militia protests at Lansing there were the anti-shutdown protests, similarly organized through Facebook pages and group chats, but rather than the FBI it was the DeVos network that organized it. Namely, the Michigan Freedom Fund, which was built out of the Right To Work campaign. Parallel that with the Protect The Vote efforts in November when all the progressive non-profits and left-wing front groups in Detroit got folded into the Democratic Party's campaign effort, which was also organized mainly through Facebook pages and text blasts. The state always comes out on top in all of this.

Music is on point this ep, love it

Wolverine is the university of Michigan mascot, and let me say this is exactly what happens when your football team loses to Ohio State 20 years in a row

Dan Greene

Someone add "Gretchen" to Brace's Wikipedia page

Samwise

Fuckin’ JewellWatch is finally over!

Andrew M

guys GUYS! leftist Boogaloo Boys? Havana Knights. Havana Knights you guys.

fjfffffddd

You ever think Russia and China are both psyopping us for fun at the same time, rather than a strategy of tension by US elites? Because I can't imagine both "sides" being done by the same actor, but it really is like pseudo-Maoist attitudes amongst the center left and the Dugin mystic chaos Nazi stuff of the right.

Gabriel Page

You had me until you associated Dugin with nazis

Gregory Horner

I cant trust Liz and Brace anymore because they thought the militia was named after Red Dawn and not one of the state's mascots.

Doug Cartel

The superpowers have been hacking each other for decades so why not I guess

Zak Koch

someone please mod c&c so that Liz is the voice of EVA and brace voices every unit

BruceInAdelaide

Liz and Brace once again show wisdom beyond their years! Yes and I was a teenage school boy who wandered into my then favourite leftwing bookshop the day the australian press had announced that leftwing anarchists had bombed manufacturing workers in a northern italian train station. We all instantly assumed it was a state provocation! (The weeklies from London and NewYork and elsewhere would arrive a week later.) Brace is a Solomon and Liz a Portia!

K Barlas

pseudo maoist attitudes amongst the who? what?

Bingo Bongo

nothing gets my appetite going quite like talk of fbi psyops i ate ferociously throughout this!

Jason Stephens

i’m old enough to remember the ‘92 Brace riots in LA

Andrew Nicholson

Thank you Brace…y’all are the realest I’ve ever heard on podcast canvas…please tell me that it’s okay for Kobe Bryant to still be one of my heroes and not just some scumbag I’ve never investigated it fully myself

Andrew Nicholson

Fuck I commented on the wrong post but either way Liz I know you’re a hooper and a NorCal loyalist. Anyways Young Chomsky you’re turning up fella

Frederick Von Drasek

...one of your best. It's important to realize that, in almost every case (even though they are often ones less bald and direct than those you present here), the beast creates the disaster it then congratulates itself for thwarting...

I question whether QAnon is tolerated/encouraged/operated by US intel. Perhaps to the kind of extent to which the Okhrana forged the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. If Jim Watkins, rumored to be in the Philippines, were really such a threat to their interests, would he not have been very easily repressed in a country crawling with CIA operations? He was also sent to a technology school in Virginia by the army to learn about early computers and the internet in the late '80s.
