They declared the destruction would be “Netflix worthy” and earn them “rock star status,” federal authorities said. With whom, exactly? The global jihad and Democrats.

“We need to stick together, we need to defeat them, we need to take a lot of casualties.”

Places “like malls where innocent children are.”

Duo allegedly planned terror attacks targeting Trump Tower, other sites: feds

Two men allegedly plotted terror attacks on high-profile US targets, including at Trump Tower and the New York Stock Exchange, where they claimed the destruction would be “Netflix worthy” and earn them “rock star status,” federal authorities said.

Kristopher Sean Matthews, of Elgin, South Carolina, is accused of conspiring with other ISIS supporters over a period of months, including a Texas man named Jaylyn Christopher Molina, according to a federal affidavit obtained by The State.

The pair, who were arrested Monday, discussed several possible sites for US terror attacks and Matthews suggested the best locations would be government centers rather than places “like malls where innocent children are,” court documents show.

“We need to stick together, we need to defeat them, we need to take a lot of casualties,” Molina allegedly wrote in a secretive chat group where FBI investigators said they announced their loyalty to ISIS.

If successful, Matthews said the attacks would grant them “rock star status baby,” the affidavit shows.

“This could be Netflix worthy,” Matthews allegedly wrote in the chat group, court papers show.

The FBI used undercover agents and confidential sources to track down the pair, who are accused of conspiring to provide material support or resources to a designated foreign terrorist organization, court document show.

If convicted, they face up to 20 years in prison, The State reports.

Molina, who referred to himself as “Abdur Rahim,” was arrested by the FBI in San Antonio. He’s expected to appear in federal court in San Antonio early next week, KSAT reports.

Matthews, who was arrested in Tennessee, referred to himself as “Ali Jibreel” and used an encrypted messaging app last year to try to find an ISIS facilitator outside the United States to help him travel to Syria and recruit additional members, a criminal complaint obtained by KSAT shows.

Molina joined the same encrypted chat sometime in April and later posted manuals on how to train with an AK-47 and how to build a bomb, according to the complaint.

Molina also posted an extremely graphic photo collage on social media of an American citizen being killed by ISIS, according to the complaint.

Records show Molina and Matthews also discussed possible attacks at the headquarters of the CIA, the FBI and the Drug Enforcement Administration, KSAT reports.

The pair allegedly wrote as recently as last month that they could use a “multi-wave attack strategy” to carry out the terror attacks, court documents show.

Molina was also in contact in late August with a woman from an unidentified European nation who sought bomb-making instructions, according to the affidavit.

Terrorists will grab all the power they can. This time Iran is trying to grab Iraq. Iraq has oil, and Iran is broke, and too stupid to maintain their own supplies:

Who cares? One group of totalitarian, theocratic muslums fighting another group of totalitarian, theocratic muslums. Do you think it’ll make any difference to the fewer and fewer Christians being brutalized by the Iraqi muslums (not that you care a whit)?

It would have been a “mostly peaceful” Islamic jihad terror attack defended by the Dims. They would argue “Trump provoked them.”.

Now you see why I carry a concealed weapon on me everywhere I go, especially to church.

It is better to have a gun and not need it than to need a gun and not have it.

Be safe, be trained, be alert.

Take it seriously as the jihadis have never stopped their stabbing shooting bombing van driving terrorism and in France it’s non stop except when deemed newsworthy but still rushed in less than couple of minutes they got off the storyline and in UK nothing about the stabber ever since they got him & crew , they killed non muslim kids at that Manchester arena so don’t think they won’t do it again as that’s more generations of our people wiped out whilst theirs multiply, it’s another way to assist the takeover bid for the future until there is no future already isn’t the jobs for our kids now and people being made homeless as Covid has killed jobs , homelessness on increase , not enough homes and the government make it so hard to claim money to live on BUT are paying for migrants crossing channel , all young muslim men put up in 3 to 5 star hotels meals three times a day plus money and already found to be preying on young white schoolgirls but money for them , not a problem, it’s a dam replacement UN not agreed or consultation with general public who have to foot the bill , so until Uk s out they treat these fully supplied unsustainable not refugees so our own people are suffering and have to fight for scraps and live off food banks , nurses included ! Before long people will fight back as police protect these criminal peadophiles while homeless vets have no shelter so it’s time to make sure you’re elderly sick and disabled folks get the help to vote trump in as Pelosi & co are in with these people as George Soros & son is paying for all our destruction and it’s our kids future and generations that are already being affected and only Trump will stop this ! He’s got the judge being sworn in and I’m glad he called the demoRats bluff and did it before the election as you need more conservative republican judges to route out these criminal supporting Soros paid for ones . Rally your troops and keep your kids safe at any cost !
