The Alleged Far-Left Bombing Plot

and hostility towards traditional American values. Last month, the FBI claimed one of their first big victories against so called Antifa terrorism since Trump's National Security directive. On December twelfth, the FBI arrested four people in southern California, who the government claims are members of a far left group called

the Turtle I Liberation Front. The criminal complaint, signed on December thirteenth by an FBI agent working at the Joint Terrorism Task Force office in Los Angeles, alleges that these four individuals conspired to construct and detonate a series of bombs in southern California on New Year's Eve twenty twenty five.

The four defendants were first charged with conspiracy and possession of an unregistered destructive device, then On December twenty third, a federal grand jury indicted them on additional terrorism related felonies. Here's a brief clip from the FBI press conference announcing the arrests where First Assistant US Attorney Bill Assley compared the Turtle Island Liberation Front group to Antifa.

or signal code names. Audrey Eileen Carrol aka Asanach or Black Moon, Zachary Aaron Paige aka ak Ash Carrington or Cuthulhu's Daughter, Dante Garfield aka Nomad, and Tina Laie aka kickwere The criminal complaint states that after forming the initial bombing plan, Carol and Page recruited additional co conspirators who participated in further planning meetings and helped procure bomb making materials.

On December twelfth, the four defendants traveled to a remote location in the Mohafi Desert with the alleged intent to build and test explosive devices. An undercover FBI agent was present at the testing site and a surveillance plane observed from overhead. Before the defendants completed assembling a functional explosive device,

the FBI arrested Carol, Paige Garfield, and Lie. From the court documents that are currently available, the earliest allusion to this New Year's Eve bombing plot is in a signal message dated November twenty fourth, twenty twenty five, allegedly from one of the defendants, Audrey Eileen Carroll, to whom they believed was a genuine co conspirator, but was actually a

confidential human source working with law enforcement. According to the indictment, this alleged signal message from Carol stated that she and quote unquote four comrades were planning to go to the desert from December eleventh to December thirteenth, twenty twenty five, to quote test the items we are going to use for those party plans unquote. This message references pre existing quote unquote party plans, which any prior origin of has

not yet been elaborated on. This confidential human source appears to be an individual embedded in the Los Angeles activist scene. The criminal complaint describes them like this quote. The confidential human Source is cooperating with law enforcement and is a validated and vetted source. The Confidential Human Source has been a reliable source of information since in or around August twenty twenty one. The Confidential Human Source is cooperating for

financial compensation. The Confidential Human Source does not have any criminal history. The Confidential Human Source provided past reliable reporting on other cases and has provided reliable reporting in this case. Unquote. The quote unquote Turtle Island Liberation Front appears to be a relatively new group with a social media footprint that only goes back to July twenty twenty five. The Instagram bio for their LA chapter reads quote liberation through decolonization

and tribal sovereignty unquote. Their most recent post, from December twelfth, the day of the arrests, is promoting a quote unquote Palestine pop up market in Culver City. A post from November twenty eighth reads quote if they hurt you, they hurt me too. Our destinies are intertwined. Liberation for one must mean liberation for all. The empire must fall, and from within the belly of the beast, we must be the ones to dismantle it. Revolution is the only way

stop quote unquote peaceful protesting, rise up, fight back. We are not outnumbered. They are organize and be ready unquote. As news of this group and the bombing plot spread around the internet last month among the left, there was a lot of skepticism pointed at the authenticity of the story and the Turtle Island Liberation Front group itself, with questions pointed at its name and some language used in

their social media posts. The name derives from a term that some Indigenous tribes used to describe the North American continent and is common language among a certain sect of quote unquote land back activists. The Liberation Front moniker has been used by a collection of direct action based groups, most notably the Earth Liberation Front and the Animal Liberation

Front in the two thousands. Though the Turtle Island Liberation Front group doesn't seem to have been a formalized activist group for very long, there were genuine people involved with this group, as evidenced by there being for defendants in

this criminal case. The Turtle Island Liberation Front Instagram account was run by one of these defendants, and the language used in their posts is not uncommon among the quote unquote antium perialists whose ideology is grown an influence among the American left during Israel's genocide in Palestine, and though both an FBI informant and an undercover employee played a part in this investigation, the group seems to have contained a collection of genuine individuals who have participated in the

wider Los Angeles activist scene and especially anti Israel protests. The indictment and criminal complaint outlined the material steps that defendants allegedly took to detail the plans of this bombing plot and procure materials to construct explosive devices without material support from FBI sources or undercover employees. All the information in the indictment and criminal complaint is alleged, and all

the defendants should be considered innocent until proven guilty. The indictment claims that Carol set up an in person meeting for November twenty six to discuss the bombing plot with another alleged Turtle Island Liberation Front member, Zachary Aaron Page, and the confidential human source, who were instructed to quote where casual block, no devices, If you can't leave it at home, have it turned off and wrapped in tinfoil.

Makeshift Faraday Bagot. During this in person meeting, Carol allegedly distributed an eight page handwritten document titled Operation Midnight Sun, outlining the plan for the bombing to both the Confidential Human Source and co defendant Zachary Page. Carol allegedly retained two to four additional copies of the handwritten plan. The indictment says that Carol explained that the document was handwritten because she quote did not want any traces of the

attack plan on a computer. After this meeting, Carol allegedly sent an encrypted message to the confidential Human source about the bomb testing camp out in the desert. Quote, this trip is very spicy. We'll be testing the things we're gonna make for December, like the things in the instructions on that document I gave you. Testing first is important

so we know how well they work lol unquote. The plan was for teams of four on the ground participants to plant backpacks containing quote unquote complex pipe bombs or IED's improvised closive devices outside of buildings at five locations, targeting two US companies, and then simultaneously detonate the bombs

at midnight on New Year's Eve twenty twenty five. There would be one off the ground member assisting the teams remotely by listening to police scanners or stationed in a vehicle in case quote an emergency getaway is needed unquote, and one member of each on the ground team would create graffiti of quote a red triangle and one message of the teams, choosing on the sidewalk closest to the

building while the other three are placing the devices. The indictment claims that the handwritten plan also instructed co conspirators quote once you plant your IEDs, if there is any time to safely do so, dump an accelerant around the premises, such as gasoline for added effect. We want to do as much damage as possible unquote. The plan identified five target locations as quote unquote marks, with five more blank

slots captioned add more if enough comrades. The criminal complaint states that these targets were quote property and facilities operated by two separate companies that are used or engaged in activities affecting interstate and foreign commerce unquote. I'm going to quote from three sections of the criminal complaint that outline some of the opsec or operational security precautions that are

allegedly included in this handwritten plan. Quote. The plan described multiple operational security measures the co conspirators should take to conceal their identities, such as the use of a burner phone that would be disposed of after the bombings by quote submerging it in a concrete brick after destroying the sim and then disposing of the brick in a body

of water unquote. The target date of the operation, New Year's Eve, was identified as an opportune time because quote fireworks will be going off at this time, so explosions will be less likely to be noticed as immediately as any normal day unquote. The plan emphasized that quote absolutely

no mistakes can be made unquote. The plans outline the use of quote unquote black block over top of a layer of quote gray slash casual block on top of normal street clothes, and noted to keep hair very tightly concealed, and to wear gloves for the purpose of avoidance of

leaving behind. DNA further instructed that participants should leave their personal devices at home and to make sure the devices were set up to stream a long movie during the time of the attacks, as so to craft an alibi or quote unquote plausible deniability by having it appear as

though the actor was actively using their devices. The plan discussed pre operational surveillance of targets, identification of D block or D clothing locations, and not leaving quote anything other than the IEDs behind unquote as they could not quote risk any evidence tracing back to us quote. The plan also noted the benefit of placing a small pebble in a shoe to alter natural gait to obfuscate their identification.

Instructions on how to purchase materials to construct a pipe bomb suggested using cash only, purchasing in small quantities to avoid suspicion, and splitting purchases amongst a team rather then individually. In addition to the plan of action and operational security tactics, detailed instructions were provided on the components required to build a pipe bomb, as well as how to create homemade gunpowder.

On December second, there was another in person meeting between the law enforcement source, Carol and Page, as well as two other co conspirators, to go over the plan. They met again on December seventh to review the bombing plot and allegedly discussed intent to conduct future attacks against federal offices. This meeting was also attended by an undercover FBI employee

who was being recruited to join the operation. The undercover asked Carol about the black powder instructions in the handwritten plan and responded that she conducted the research herself and discussed wanting to test several different types of bomb to determine which could quote unquote completely pulverize their assigned building

on New Year's Eve. To quote the criminal complaint quote, Carol stated that she had acquired some components thirteen PVC pipes and that she had bought potassium nitrate on Amazon using a burner account that was scheduled to be delivered on December eleventh, twenty twenty five. During this in person meeting, Carol confirmed that she operated the Turnal Island Deliberation front Instagram account and that she had met a co conspirator

through said Instagram account. The indictment claims that Carol told co conspirators in this meeting quote what we are about to do, that's gonna be like a Luigi level situation unquote, and that it was time for America to fall, and that America falling will make Israel fall According to the indictment, during this December seventh meeting, Page told attendees again, including an undercover FBI employee, that they were doing everything quote

to be as clean as possible because one hundred thousand percent the FBI is gonna be like on that shit. Yeah, so we all know what we're getting into unquote in person, Page outlined some of the operational security precautions to avoid law enforcement detection, like covering shoes with socks to cover

shoe prints, and burning shoes after the bombing. Page also allegedly asked attendees if they would like to receive firearms training from a group that held a training about a month prior, and Carol said that she had a contact who could obtain unregistered ars. This wasn't the first time

Turtle Island Liberation Front members allegedly brought up firearms. The indictment claims that on quote December third, twenty twenty five, defendant Page, using an encrypted messaging application, asked the confidential human source if the human source was interested in receiving fire arms training. Explaining his plan to shoot ICE officials. In a voice message to the confidential human source, defendant

Page stated, quote, I just had this day dream. I was like, we're just patrolling or whatever, and we're strapped right, and we see ICE trying to pull up on someone or a group of people, and we just like roll up on them, like strapped up, and we're like, nah, get the fuck out of here. They're gonna get shot if they try to do anything like we shoot first, we ask questions later. That's the policy. I told that

too in Brackets defendant Carol. Defendant Carol knows all about this, and Brackets Defendant Carol was like, yeah, let's fucking do it. But I'm like, seriously, that is what's needed. Maybe if ICE agents they're like, wait, I don't want to get fucking shot right now, they ain't gonna do it. And if they still try to do it, well, guess what. Welcome to the dirt, motherfucker unquote. After sending this voice message, Page told the confidential human source quote, let me know

when you listen so I can delete it. Unquote. Small lines like that are part of what I find really interesting in this Turtle Island Liberation front case, because the indictment and criminal complaint are just full of the defendants recommending these security folklore practices like setting up your phone to stream a long movie to create an alibi, and placing a small pebble in your shoe to alter your gait, deleting these messages after you send them, which they're trying

to do, all while working with not just an FBI informant but also an undercover agent. During the December seventh in person meeting, Page and Carol discussed plans for future attacks after this New Year's Eve bombing plot, specifically a plan to target ICE agents and vehicles with pipe bombs starting around January or February twenty twenty six, with Carol noting in the meeting quote that would definitely take some of them out and would probably scare the rest of them unquote.

or another Turtle Island Liberation Front related chat. But I will read through some of these messages. Quote Page messaged co conspirators, including defendants Carol and Garfield quote death to Israel, death to the USA, death to colonizers, death to settler colonialism. In response to defendant Pages message, defendant Carol stated, quote death to them all, burn it all down, three burning

heart emojis. Unquote. Defendant Carol messaged co conspirators, including Page and Garfield, quote I identify as a terrorist and I am a Hamas fangirl. Unquote. Garfield messaged co conspirators, including Carol and Paige quote I am here to destroy Zionism by any means necessary.

just another toy in the machine. Unquote. Carol messaged quote glory to the martyr's death to Israel, three salute emojis. And on December third, defendant Carol told the Confidential Humans source quote these fucking SJW peaceful protest libs are insane, like it's wild to me that I've seen state violence enacted on some people like that, and they still think they can keep going with peaceful protest bs and indirect

roots unquote. Defendants used the BLACKLOADUS group chat what Carol described as quote our group for everything radical unquote, to discuss sourcing bomb making parts including cotton string and PVC pipes, as well as coordinates for the explosives testing site in the desert quote where we will set up camp and where we will test unquote. On the afternoon of December tenth, Page messaged the group about just having acquired two parts for the bomb recipe and that starter would be picked

up later that day. Page was under FBI surveillance around the time this message was sent, and fifteen minutes prior to sending this message, Page was seen grabbing a package from an Amazon pick up location. Hours later, FBI agent's watched Page by pistol primers from a store in Irving, California. Quote dressed in a manner to obscure Page's identity, namely wearing a medical mask, gloves, ball cap, and longsleeved shirt

to quote the criminal complaint. Carol replied to Page's messages about obtaining more items from the ingredient's list, writing that another package was quote already delivered, got to pick it up tomorrow, but yay with four whys unquote. The criminal

complaint says that quote. According to Amazon records, on December seventh, twenty twenty five, Carol purchased two five pound bags of potassium nitrate ninety nine percent heure prilled Kno three five pounds for industrial and technical applications, to be delivered to the Amazon counter at the Whole Foods located at three three seven seven South La Sienna Boulevard, Los Angeles, California. The potassium nitrate was delivered on December eleventh, twenty twenty five. Quote.

In early December, Carol messaged the confidential human source on signal a list of components chemicals and tools, along with prices of the required items. Several of these components were either listed as already purchased or designated to be acquired by another quote unquote. Comrade Carol advised the confidential human source quote with the list, write it and down when you have some time. Then I'll delete that message, so it's no in the chat all well.

completely sealed with aluminium. The phones would not be returned until the care caravan was out of the campsite and back on the main road. Quote forgetting to the desert, page wrote that each navigator should have a burner phone, quoting page in the complaint quote no phones besides burners, and all phones except navigators to be wrapped in foil or a Faraday bag for the entirety of the trip and install OSM. And it is an open source maps,

so no corporate tracking unquote. Garfield wrote quote, I have a few burners, but I'm saving for the big event, the big party celebrate emoji quote. On December tenth, Carol sent the Confidential Human Source a message on signal reading quote I kind of hand this notebook where I wrote down multiple plans that never happened or got delayed, So it's like my terrorist diary. Lmaoooo, I have to get

rid of that unquote. On the morning of December twelfth, twenty twenty five, Carol Page, Garfield, and Lye traveled to the desert in two vehicles, the confidential human source in one car and the undercover in the other. To quote from the complaint quote. In the undercover vehicle, Page discussed using cigarettes as a delayed fusing device for the explosives.

Once they arrived in the desert, in the other vehicle, Carol explained to Lie that the day's events were meant as a test run for the New Year's Eve bombing plot, which Carol described in detail, stating, quote, what we're doing will be considered a terrorist act unquote. In response to Carroll's detailing of the New Year's Eve plot, Lie asked if there would be any people at the bombing target locations.

Carol responded in the negative, but noted that if they saw any people such as a security guard at any of the locations, they would warn them. At approximately ten am, the co conspirators arrived at the desert and began setting up a campsite including tents and tables. Based on information

from the undercover and confidential human source. Carol Page, and Lie all brought bomb making components to the campsite, including various sizes of PVC pipes, suspected potassium nitrate, charcoal, charcoal powder, sulfur powder, and material to be used as fuses, among others. After the undercover alerted law enforcement with a predetermined signal indicating that bomb testing was imminent, FBI personnel intervened and

placed Carol Page, Garfield, and Lie into custody. This is a clip from the law enforcement press conference announcing the arrests with a Keel Davis, Assistant Director in charge of the FBI Los Angeles Field Office.

And then what happened after this is the Los Angeles FBI SWAT team, along with the FBI's Hostage Rescue Team, moved in and arrested all four subjects without without incident.
