https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/illinois-man-arrest-bomb-ready-for-civil-war-1235027015/Just after 3 a.m. last Friday, in a small Central Illinois city infamous in the area for being a former sundowner town, a Pekin police officer pulled over a car for a traffic violation, according to an affidavit. Dalton Mattus, 34, was a passenger inside the vehicle, and police say they found a canvas bag under his seat locked with a padlock. When an officer asked what was in the bag, Mattus reportedly said the officer would have to get a warrant to find out. Police took the bag and let Mattus go, then obtained a warrant from a judge and opened the bag inside city hall.
They took the bag and let him go?
Mattus was charged with being a felon in possession of a weapon — his felony stems from a 2018 theft conviction.
Nothing to do with the bombs or terrorism.
Police then went to his home and engaged in a brief standoff before arresting Mattus, according to local media. There, police say, they found three more pipe bombs. Authorities haven’t said what they believed Mattus planned to do with the bombs, but he allegedly told police that he had made them for protection from “undocumented immigrants and a corrupt government,” a local radio station reported.
Nothing to do with terrorism
From the link to that local radio station.
He reportedly told police that he did not intend to hurt anyone, but made the explosives for protection from “undocumented immigrants and a corrupt government.”
Did not intend to hurt anyone. Rolling Stone left that part out, cause they are pushing a narrative, here.
Rolling Stone and American Doom analyzed more than 200 of Mattus’ social media posts going back to 2016. Starting around June 2020, Mattus’ posts suggest he was sucked into the dregs of the far-right internet, where he voraciously consumed and posted about conspiracies and anti-government vitriol.
Conspiracy theories like COVID isn't as dangerous as reported and that the jabs were far more dangerous than reported. Conspiracy theories like rich people were trafficking children for sexual exploitation. For what Rolling Stone calls "election lies".
Since June 2020, Mattus has posted multiple times a day about nearly every right-wing conspiracy imaginable, including posts about gun control efforts, the pandemic, the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, and QAnon-fueled claims of rampant pedophilia among Democrats.
Just like virtually everyone on this site and many other free speech sites. Because there "theories" are accurate.
Mattus also posted several times about the 2020 election being “rigged” against Donald Trump.
Like every single one of Trump's 76 million supporters and about 25% of democrats. Because it's true.
Facebook is among the leaders of platforms allowing for the proliferation of political misinformation regarding the 2024 election, and is home to hundreds of right-wing militia groups who are openly organizing on the platform — much like they did in the lead-up to Jan. 6.
Rolling Stone straight up gas lighting here. We all know Facebook was central to the effort to interfere with the 2020 elections by suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop and had since done shit like suppress the Bin Laden letter or those critical of Israel.
