Members of Pro-Palestine Group Arrested for Allegedly Plotting New Year’s Eve Bombings
“Free occupied Turtle Island from the illegal American empire. Free Palestine. Free Hawaii. Free Puerto Rico.”
The FBI arrested four people connected to the Turtle Island Liberation Front for allegedly plotting to bomb numerous parts of Los Angeles, CA, on New Year’s Eve.
The agency arrested a fifth person in New Orleans.
Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote on X regarding California:
After an intense investigation, the Department of Justice, working with our @FBI, prevented what would have been a massive and horrific terror plot in the Central District of California (Orange County and Los Angeles).
The Turtle Island Liberation Front—a far-left, pro-Palestine, anti-government, and anti-capitalist group—was preparing to conduct a series of bombings against multiple targets in California beginning on New Year’s Eve. The group also planned to target ICE agents and vehicles.
This was an incredible effort by our U.S. Attorneys’ Offices and the @FBI to ensure Americans can live in peace. We will continue to pursue these terror groups and bring them to justice.

Over the weekend, the @FBI disrupted a credible, imminent terrorist threat and arrested FOUR individuals connected to the Los Angeles area.

From Fox News:
According to the FBI, they were allegedly planning coordinated bombing attacks on New Year’s Eve using improvised explosive devices (IEDs), targeting five separate locations across Los Angeles.
The agency said the four were arrested in Lucerne Valley, where they were believed to be preparing to test explosive devices ahead of the planned attacks. They have each been charged with conspiracy and possession of a destructive device.
Many Indigenous people refer to North America as Turtle Island.
TILF’s main Instagram account has one post that reads, “Peaceful protest will never be enough.”
Another slide says, “Free occupied Turtle Island from the illegal American empire. Free Palestine. Free Hawaii. Free Puerto Rico.”
The Los Angeles chapter’s page is more active. One member tried to connect Palestine to Turtle Island, which, as I said before, refers to North America:
So, as many people are learning, Palestine is the true name of Israel, right? Israel, a creation in 1946 by the Zionists. It’s the same with Turtle Island. That was what the original tribes on the Americas, before it was called America, it was known as Turtle Island because, believe it or not, if you look at the map rather from the top down, but the bottom up, you put that map of the Americas, it looks like a turtle. And so that’s what the natives called it, was Turtle Island. So that’s the decolonized name of the Americas. And, uh, Turtle Liberation Front is looking for reparations and land back for these indigenous groups in which the land was observed.
Um, okay.
By the way, that is NOT me in the video.

“…before it was called America, it was known as Turtle Island because, believe it or not, if you look at the map rather from the top down, but the bottom up, you put that map of the Americas, it looks like a turtle. And so that’s what the natives called it, was Turtle Island.”
A juvenile and moronic interpretation/corruption of the legend. The suggestion that Native Americans had any idea of the shape of North America is preposterous. The land, all land, was the “turtle.” The land’s shape had nothing to do with the legend. Relating the “turtle” of legend to some imagined similarity to the shape of the continent is a retconning of Native American legend by white people with a point to make and no real respect for Native American heritage.
You mean they didn’t look it up on Google Earth? That’s racissss!
The Indians looked at their satellite photos, complete with the 20th century boundary lines on them, and made this adorably childlike comparison, centuries before the white man arrived to spoil things with their evil technologies, like the wheel.
What a moron.
The article never says, but I get the sense that these yutzes have as much ethnic connection with Palis as Wonder Bread.
In fact, the terms used are persons, members, and subjects.
Makes chances almost certain it’s more crazy white chicks (like “Mary”).
They can’t even get their cultural appropriation right, these losers. Of course they also think that the American civil rights movement explains the Israel and Palestinian conflict, so they like being the ugly American and westernizing complex issues that actually involve knowledge and undertsanding other cultures, histories and languages. But its so much easier when you can just put it in simplistic flatttened terms that makes sense to losers like this. That way they can virtue signal and feel so morally superior without even knowing anything.
Somehow, I never hear of Turtle Island before. Regardless of their motives, people who plan terror actions, rather they manage to follow through or no, should be terminated.
Oh, for God’s sakes. The amount of stupid makes my brain hurt. The Great Turtle is confined to the NE US specifically the Iroquois but more specific to the Mic Mac or Mi’kmaq Nation. It’s not used all over the US. These friggen upper class white kids glomming onto this stuff are as much of a bane as AWFL’s and Wine Moms
Let me clarify. As a member of the Nulhegan Band of Abenaki’s I’m a little familiar with this topic.
It looks like we’re entering another era like the early 70s, when both domestic and foreign terrorism were highly active.
Except now it’s leavened with mid 2020s’ academic ignorance.
Academic ignorance used to be an oxymoron! Now it’s an apt descriptor of our liberal western universities.
These “activists” likely are students of “Stamped from the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America”, by Ibram X. Kendi.
And/or Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States.
Can we just kill these losers and be done with it. Yes yes I know so incorrect but to be honest I’m tired of this crap.
We can just claim a turtle squashed them.
Christmas is coming.
Sometimes you don’t need to see a whole face to recognize the craziness in someone’s eyes.
“Four Whites.”
The level of leftist stupidity and delusions of self-relevance are amazing.
I’ve some bad news, we’re all brothers. When man first left Africa some hung a left and went up into what is modern Europe and got stuck. The rest hung a right, went across Asia, across the frozen Bering Strait and kept going until they reached the tip of South America. Mean while it wasn’t until 1492 when Columbus sailed the ocean blue did we finally connect the family back together. Some just got here first and now we are all one big happy family.
“now we are all one big happy family.”
You are so rayciss!!
The next thing your going to say is that snow being white isn’t racist or Jingle Bells isn’t racist.
YAY!
The “right side of history” morons strike again. Of course they don’t actually know any history, but man can they make a crazy looking tictoc video. History requires reading and thinking and it’s so much easier to just watch instagram and get super angry and fired up! By any means necessary to reach your idiotic utopian dream of returning the land to the natives. Which natives do we mean? And should we try to return the land to people the native americans stole it from as well? Or may the ones those people stole it from? How far back do we need to go geniuses? Maybe they called the land “moron island” way back then in honor of these idiots ancestors?
The “right side of history” nonsense is Marxist propaganda, based on Marx’s “dialectic”.
Marxist Historians, typically called “revisionists”, have rewritten all of world history based on this dialectic.
Translation: Democrat Terrorists
Get the rope & have a good I’ll fashioned necktie party for these traitors!
We have to start teaching American History in schools again. The younger generation has not got a clue, and it shows
As a student of history, I think these social misfits would be so much better served if they looked to the future that America’s Founders and the U.S. Constitution have blessed them with. Except for their warped learnings, they would know that if the peoples that occupied North America in the 15th century had been conquered by the Chinese or Arabs, they’d have been completely wiped off the Earth five centuries ago.
