While some Texans were planning to monitor American soldiers during Jade Helm exercises, three men in North Carolina were plotting to kill them.
The FBI used wire taps, visual surveillance and a secret informant to track the alleged terrorists as they stockpiled weapons and gathered components to make explosives.
According to court documents, apparent ringleader Walter Eugene Litteral owned 99 acres in South Carolina and “intended to booby-trap the camp and draw government forces into the camp and kill them.”
He and two others, Christopher Barker, 41, and Christopher Campbell, 30, were arrested Saturday after a more-than-month-long surveillance operation by the FBI.
It started on June 18th, when the owner of a North Carolina military surplus store alerted the FBI of suspicious activity.
He said Litteral had patronized his store since March, and had raised concern with Jade Helm, a two-month seven-state special operations exercise that angered many Americans on the extreme fringes of the far right.
News of Jade Helm plans first broke in March, with Texas at the epicenter for its “hostile” label on a military map. Litteral has a son in Texas, according to court documents.
Litteral told the store owner he and others “believe[d] the exercise is a cover for the imposition of martial law in the United States.” The owner understood that the men were preparing to use lethal force to retaliate against government forces.
Litteral had already bought Kevlar body armor and helmets, assault rifle ammunition and radios with throat mics. On June 18, he said he needed smokeless gunpowder for pipe bombs, wanted to pack tennis balls with gun powder and tape nails to the outsides and planned to fill coffee cans with gun powder and ball bearings then detonate them with sniper rifle fire.
And he said he needed it all by July 15—the start date of Jade Helm.
The FBI set up a warranted wiretap and, with the store owner’s permission, installed video and audio surveillance in the shop. Phone records showed Litteral had also tried to purchase “a surgical kit, magazine pouches for an AR-15 and pistol, gas masks, ammunition, hydration carrier, exploding targets and an 8 lb. bottle of black powder.”
In a conversation recorded by the store owner, Litteral said, “Lemme tell you something I gunna have my [expletive] house rigged up. These mother[expletive] come try to come in my house it’s going off.”
“I got a [expletive] .45 beside my bed. I got a .45 and a 9 mil in my truck. I’ve got a 9 mil and a .380 or a .380 in her car. Safe full of weapons. You know what? Every time I open up this [expletive] safe, I mean I’ve got, I’ve got at least 30 weapons that I can see and some tucked all the way in the back, back.”
On July 20 the FBI gathered intelligence suggesting Litteral and his company were in the final stages of acquiring the components of an explosive. Other evidence showed Barker and Campbell were participating in gathering weapons and planning the assault on military personnel.
On Saturday the FBI raided a tattoo parlor owned by Litteral and two homes, arresting all three suspects.
The revealed terror plot comes after recent reporting from the New York Times shows anti-government extremism is among the leading threats perceived by law enforcement, and that right-wing or anti-government militants have killed more Americans since 2001 than Islamist militants on American soil.
Despite widespread fears of a government takeover during Jade Helm, the exercises kicked off and continue with little notice.

“The federal complaints also claim the three were sharing prescription pain killers with one another while working out their plan.”

Oh joy. More psychotropic drugs. As always. You’d think people would notice how strange it is by now that these stories are all magically the same, but alas, they don’t have a clue or think it’s normal.
Most of you will NOT comprehend the gist of the drift, but here it is. If you can’t think in allegory or metaphor, you’ll surely be lost. None of you will get this message, I can tell by your comments to previous articles, ie terminal myopia. I could explain this to you, but I can’t understand it for you:
I get it. 😉 😀
Yea I get it, too. 😉
“Did not see this fbi plot coming”. lot’s more ahead.
yes, mark symbolism has been their trademark throughout the centuries.
attention. you will never control my mind.
pass the ammo.
“The revealed terror plot comes after recent reporting from the New York Times shows anti-government extremism is among the leading threats perceived by law enforcement”
Well what do you expect when they attack the American people for no reason? A thank you?
“and that right-wing or anti-government militants have killed more Americans since 2001 than Islamist militants on American soil.”
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! WOW! Really? And please do share with the rest of us your proof of this outrageous accusation, Dylan. I think we would all like to see it. All I see are cops and the government killing innocent people for no reason everywhere, everyday and getting away with it.
NC,
Get a load of this one:

Leave it to the MSM and their trolls and/or sheeple in the comment section to pretend it’s all a joke. Pathetic. They’ll find themselves all rounded up soon enough due to their stupidity.
As Thomas Paine once said, “To argue with a person who has renounced the use of reason is like administering medicine to the dead.”
Typical.
More baaaaaah’d opinions from the drones.
Well, sum’bitch! looks like the FBI is shot hot on catchin’ all those damb domestic terr’ists. Thank God almighty we have the Fed Gubmint watchin’ ‘r backs.
just immagine folks, if it wasn’t for the FBI, these three domestic terrorists would have killed millions of innocent Americans.
I am glad the FBI cannot see that their ruse tactics are wearing thin on the American people. I hope they continue until even the most brain dead American sees them for the domestic terrorists that they are.
“…..wire taps, visual surveillance and a secret informant to track the alleged terrorists….”
By now you should understand what happened here. The informant convinced these border-line retards to do something stupid, and the FBI swooped in for the terror headline.
BUT….. the real lesson from this incident is that operating a Military Surplus business would be an excellent front for an FBI operation to identify those likely to resist the commie takeover.
Don’t give ANYONE any more information than you need to.
“It started on June 18th, when the owner of a North Carolina military surplus store alerted the FBI of suspicious activity.”
And there it is. Even Alex Jewnes warned people about this. Don’t go blabbing to shopkeepers about what you have or don’t have or what your going to do or not do. It’s none of their damn business.
If you got a few friends that are rock solid and would never betray you then your damn lucky.
I know Gene Litteral he would not harm anybody. Chris Campbell is a very nice guy as well all these men were trying to do was protect there familes against what they saw as a threat
