Of Course: Texas Police and FBI Disrupt Planned Terror Attack to "Shoot Up" the State Capitol, Out of Antisemitic Animus

No statement that he's a citizen.

So maybe he's one of those Doctors and Engineers our country would collapse without.

Texas authorities and the FBI on Thursday stated that they had thwarted a plan to attack the State Capitol in Austin.
Benny Caldera, 40, was arrested in his home in connection with the matter, Fox News reported. Authorities reportedly received a tip on Tuesday about a possible attack on the Capitol.
Caldera was reportedly angry with the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), a prominent pro-Israel organization that has become a lightning rod for opposition to the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East.

Texas DPS SWAT officers arrested 40-year-old Benny Caldera Jr. at 3 a.m. Wednesday at his home in Converse, outside San Antonio, after a tip that he planned to attack the Texas State Capitol in Austin, authorities said Thursday.
The tip came from a friend who got a farewell message from him. According to arrest documents, Caldera wrote: "𝘐 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶, 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘴𝘦𝘦 𝘮𝘦 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯 ... 𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘢𝘱𝘪𝘵𝘰𝘭 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘴∗𝘰𝘰𝘵 𝘪𝘵 𝘶𝘱."
The same documents say he told that friend he was angry at AIPAC and that "𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘦𝘹𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥," NBCDFW reported. 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐮𝐧 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐚 𝐩𝐫𝐨-𝐈𝐬𝐫𝐚𝐞𝐥 𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐛𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩.
He was first charged with a felony terroristic threat against a public servant and held on a $75,000 bond. By Wednesday evening he was in federal custody. Records show he was arrested in 2023 for carrying an unlicensed firearm. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐚 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐡∗𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝.
The Daily Wire notes the arrest comes amid a steady stream of political attacks on AIPAC, and cites federal filings that rank the group 191st in lobbying spend in 2024 at $3.3 million. Rhetoric about a group of Americans has consequences, and this time the police got there first.

Obviously this was a result of compartmentalization. This was need to know- and you didn't need to know. Jewish dreidels within dreidels.

As a joke, this might be funny. But people really do think like this. One thing is disproven, so they jump to another thing that makes the target even more nefarious. Like Butler. Trump gets shot at under suspicious circumstances. That just means HE orchestrated the whole thing for sympathy! And he was willing to have his own followers shot for cover! He's so fucking evil!

@EricAbbenante
Ana Kasparian thinks that the hijacking of the Israeli flight is 'fishy' and intimates it was a false flag. She is upset that she even has to cover the story period:

"Okay. God help me. Let's get to this next story because we have to talk about it.
This is a still developing story, and I don't trust the Israelis. I wouldn't trust the Israelis with anything.
Any narrative coming out of Israel, I don't I just I can't take it at face value. Sorry"

"Immediately jumping to the conclusion that the copilot is a jihadi. Doesn't make sense to me. Citation, please."

"Just yesterday, Netanyahu was saying that the Iranians are going to carry out some sort of attack against Israel ahead of the Israeli elections.
Everyone was saying, oh, here comes the false flag. Now, look, I'm not saying that this is a false flag. I don't know yet. I don't know yet. I think it's fishy."

'I think it's fishy' if you cannot label actual terrorism, terrorism.

Well, if his gun had a suppressor on it that had not had the NFA tax stamp, it might be sloppily described as unlicensed. But most likely the reporter is merely a J-school grad, so therefore extremely stupid and evil.

199 False flag terrorist threats gonna ramp up big time before the election so that Republicans have an excuse to have people with guns at polling places. Kind of copying Isreal and Russias homework but noone said they were original

The FBI and other alphabet and law enforcement agencies have been recruiting and equipping the "terrorists" they arrest for decades. If you see the FBI volunteering information to the press before charges are filed, they're trying to prosecute through the media.

The people who are still working in the FBI here in 2026 are mostly the 'slow kids.' Trump v2 basically drove out 90% of the agents who were actually competent.

This administration driving away valuable talent and expertise in droves from practically *every* government agency is gonna be a wound that it takes us a long time to recover from. An entirely preventable self-inflicted wound, too. Just flat-out stupid.

So this guy is mad at AIPAC so he decided to attack the state capitol? Just to state the obvious, AIPAC isn't in the state capitol

251 Marquette: Tom Tiffany trails David Crowley 46-45 in Wisconsin.

One point?! Also. Crowley's unfavorables have spiked 15 points in the past weeks.

It's almost like keeping your powder dry until people start paying attention has a real, measurable impact.

Also, fuck the polls. Go vote!

256 Elric, in Watertown, MA, is the largest population of Armenians outside of Armenia. There’s an Armenian museum there, and for years they had a billboard that simply read something like: Armenia was the first genocide of the 20th century.

They were first.

Dems need at least 8+ to take the House.

Largest on the East Coast, yes. One of the two biggest Armenian immigration destinations in the US. Largest in the US is now in Los Angeles (Glendale). Up until the 1960s, the largest Armenian population was here in Fresno, but the immigration trends changed in the 60s and they started going to LA instead.

Russia has the largest Armenian diaspora population, currently. That goes back to well before the Genocide.
