Prosecutors say a Coast Guard lieutenant is a “domestic terrorist” who wrote about biological attacks and had a hit list that included prominent Democrats and media figures.

He couldn’t have been the sharpest tool in the shed... cause he didn’t add Paultards to his list.

15 firearms and over 1,000 rounds of ammunition

Hasson routinely read portions of a manifesto written by Norwegian mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik

That ain't nothing!

Ooooh,how scary, he read something! Is that illegal now? Busted for a Federal Thought Crime.

Ooooh,how scary, he read something! Is that illegal now? Busted for a Federal Thought Crime.

Being arrested for a thought crime seems unlikely for a 49 year old 0-3.

That boy wouldn't be the sharpest tool in anybody's shed.

Prosecutors say he also had compiled a list of prominent congressional Democrats, activists, journalists and media commentators.

Quite a few of the more rabid posters here have done that as well.

Attaboy... keep defending those bias journalists and media commentators. You admittedly are or were one during your profession.

The police aren’t the problem in this country... LameStreamMedia indoctrinating the sheeple are... AND THATS WHAT YOU DID FOR A LIVING.

From another article:

A U.S. Coast Guard lieutenant and self-identified white nationalist was arrested after federal investigators uncovered a cache of weapons and ammunition in his Maryland home that authorities say he stockpiled to launch a widespread domestic terrorist attack targeting politicians and journalists.

Christopher Paul Hasson called for “focused violence” to “establish a white homeland” and said, “I am dreaming of a way to kill almost every last person on the earth,” according to court records filed in U.S. District Court in Maryland. Though court documents do not detail a specific planned date for an attack, the government said he had been amassing supplies and weapons since at least 2017, developed a spreadsheet of targets that included House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D- Calif.) and searched the Internet using phrases such as “best place in dc to see congress people” and “are supreme court justices protected.”

“The defendant intends to murder innocent civilians on a scale rarely seen in this country,” the government said in court documents filed this week, arguing that Hasson should stay in jail awaiting trial.

Hasson, 49, of Silver Spring, is expected to appear before a judge for a detention hearing in federal court in Greenbelt at 1 p.m. Thursday.

Hasson was arrested Friday on ­charges of illegally possessing weapons and drugs, but the government said those charges are the “proverbial tip of the iceberg.” Officials with the U.S. attorney’s office in Maryland outlined Hasson’s alleged plans to spark chaos and destruction, describing in court documents a man obsessed with neo-fascist and neo-Nazi views.

“Please send me your violence that I may unleash it onto their heads,” Hasson wrote in a letter that prosecutors said was found in his email drafts. “Guide my hate to make a lasting impression on this world.”

A magistrate judge ordered the federal public defender’s office to represent Hasson; that office declined to comment Wednesday.

Hasson has been working at the U.S. Coast Guard headquarters in Washington since 2016, according to court documents filed by prosecutors. He also served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1988 to 1993 and in the Army National Guard for about two years in the mid-1990s, the filings state.

Agents with the FBI field office in Baltimore and the Coast Guard Investigative Service arrested Hasson, FBI Baltimore spokesman Dave Fitz confirmed.

A Coast Guard spokesman, Lt. Cmdr. Scott McBride, said Wednesday that Hasson no longer works at Coast Guard headquarters.

“An active duty Coast Guard member stationed at Coast Guard Headquarters in Washington, D.C., was arrested last week on illegal weapons and drug charges as a result of an ongoing investigation led by Coast Guard Investigation Services, in cooperation with the FBI and the Dept. of Justice,” McBride said in a statement. McBride declined to comment further, citing the open investigation.

Federal investigators say Christopher Hasson had a cache of guns stockpiled to launch a terrorist attack targeting liberal politicians and journalists.

Court documents do not detail what prompted federal law enforcement to begin investigating Hasson but contend that Hasson had been studying the 1,500-page manifesto of right-wing terrorist Anders Behring Breivik, who unleashed two attacks in 2011 that killed 77 people in Norway, and echoed Breivik’s attack preparations. The manifesto outlined how Breivik planned and prepared his attacks with the aim of providing a road map for others planning similar terrorist operations, the U.S. court filings say.

Breivik took steroids and narcotics, believing it would heighten his abilities to carry out attacks. When law enforcement raided Hasson’s apartment, they said they found a locked container loaded with more than 30 vials of what appeared to be human growth hormone. He has also ordered more than 4,200 pills of the narcotic Tramadol since 2016, along with synthetic urine to allegedly bypass possible random drug screenings at work, they said.

Breivik encouraged identifying targets and traitors. In recent weeks, according to the court filings, Hasson developed a spreadsheet of targets that included top Democratic congressional leaders and media personalities. The list includes “JOEY,” what prosecutors say is a reference to former congressman Joe Scarborough (R-Fla.), now of MSNBC; “cortez,” an alleged reference to freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.); and “Sen blumen jew,” presumably about Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.).

Authorities seized 15 firearms, including several long guns and rifles, and more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition from his cramped basement apartment after executing a search warrant this month. Over the past two years, he had made nearly two dozen purchases of firearms or related equipment and made thousands of visits to websites selling weapons or tactical gear.

The filing was first reported Wednesday afternoon by the Program on Extremism at George Washington University.

Authorities said Hasson has harbored extremist views for years.

“The defendant is a domestic terrorist,” the government said in court filings, “bent on committing acts dangerous to human life that are intended to affect governmental conduct.”

In an email drafted in June 2017, he contemplated biological attacks and targeting food supplies, according to the court filings. He considered the merits of a “bombing/sniper campaign.” And he included a “Things to do” list that mentioned purchasing land “out west or possibly NC mtns” for family and researching tactics used during the civil war in Ukraine.

“During unrest target both sides to increase tension,” Hasson wrote in the email, according to the court filings. “In other words provoke gov/police to over react which should help to escalate violence. BLM protests or other left crap would be ideal to incite to violence.”

In another letter drafted months later to an American neo-Nazi leader, cited in the court filing, Hasson called for a “white homeland.” He sent the letter to himself nearly two months after the neo-Nazi rally in Charlottesville, where torch-carrying white supremacists clashed with anti-racist protesters.

“I never saw a reason for mass protest or wearing uniforms marching around provoking people with swastikas etc.,” Hasson said in the letter, according to court filings. “I was and am a man of action you cannot change minds protesting like that. However you can make change with a little focused violence.”

Hasson’s commitment to destruction appeared heightened in recent weeks, according to prosecutors. He created a list of “traitors” and targets on Jan. 19 in an Excel spreadsheet on his work computer, they said, which was created two days after he conducted several Internet inquiries:

8:54 a.m.: “what if trump illegally impeached”

8:57 a.m.: “best place in dc to see congress people”

8:58 a.m.: “where in dc to congress live”

10:39 a.m.: “civil war if trump impeached”

11:26 a.m.: “social democrats usa”

The arrest marks the second time that the service has responded to an incident involving alleged white supremacy in recent months. In September, the Coast Guard reprimanded a service member who flashed what some people identified as a white-supremacy sign in the background of a televised interview with another officer during the response to Hurricane Florence.

“We are aware of the offensive video on twitter — the Coast Guard has identified the member and removed him from the response,” the service said at the time in a tweet. “His actions do not reflect those of the United States Coast Guard.”

That individual was not identified.

Quite a few of the more rabid posters here have done that as well.

So says the clown who thinks that women who murder their kids through abortion should face no punishment. Zero. Decriminalized.

Democrats are evil.

That was typical and predictable. He is so transparent.

Deckard always puts a “slant” on everything to promote his warped libertarian agenda.

Prosecutors say he also had compiled a list of prominent congressional Democrats, activists, journalists and media commentators. Quite a few of the more rabid posters here have done that as well.

Who did that and how would you know. The only way you would know that is if they posted it here. They didn't.

That makes you a liar.

Deckard why do you have to lie?

It’s easy to notice the Paultard asshole took one sentence out of context and used it as a segue to imply nefarious actions by others.

That was typical and predictable. He is so transparent.

Deckard was pulling a smollet.

Uh ..

Don’t forget libertarians.

The U.S. Libertarian Party political platform (2012) states: "Recognizing that abortion is a sensitive issue and that people can hold good-faith views on all sides, we believe that government should be kept out of the matter, leaving the question to each person for their conscientious consideration."

I believe I am reading that right but I stand to be corrected if I am not.

Furthermore, I fail to understand how anyone can have a “good-faith view” on having an abortion.

But then, there are lots of things I don’t understand about the actions and ideas of Paulrards.

And I really will never care to …

Deckard was pulling a smollet.

They are obviously "two of a kind."

Both will do anything to support their warped agenda.

...women who murder their kids through abortion should face no punishment.

Last I checked, abortion is legal. I don't like that fact but there is really no foreseeable hope that it will ever change.

Republicans don't want abortion to become illegal - it's just one of the hot-button issues they gin up to fleece the rubes.

That being said, I am not going to take the law into my own hands and start bombing abortion clinics or shooting women who have had legal abortions.

Seems to me your position is just that.

Women who have abortions will have to face judgement by God if they haven't repented.

The only way you would know that is if they posted it here. They didn't.

Oh come on - look at some of FireIsland's psychotic posts here (and some of yours BTW).

This site has become an echo chamber of hate and bloodlust towards anyone not of your political tribe thanks to you.

Last I heard illegal drugs are illegal. So shut the fuck up about it.

The point is you are a LIAR! You said you area against abortion yet you don't want to make it illegal and you want zero punishment. So fuck you douche.

To your next lie. Republicans don't want abortion to be illegal. I vote Republican and am registered as one and I want abortion illegal. We have a governor in Ohio who just signed probably the toughest anti abortion bill in the country. Or rahter he will sign it when they send it to him former Gov Kasich vetoed it. So that is like at least 3 lies you already told today. Bad start to the day for you chump.

Then you lie again pulling a Bernie Sanders. Saying we want to blow up abortion clinics. You pulled that out of your recently fucked ass.

Well I agree with your third point on judgement.

Oh come on - look at some of FireIsland's psychotic posts here (and some of yours BTW).

This site has become an echo chamber of hate and bloodlust towards anyone not of your political tribe thanks to you.

There you go with your tribe bullshit. My family is my tribe and I prefer them to you.

America is also my tribe. Not yours I guess since you hate many things about it.

Wanting some moral laws to punish murderers is righteous. Not giving a shit and saying oh well God will take care of it is what a pussy with no morals does. You are ok with murder. I am not.

That being said, I am not going to take the law into my own hands and start bombing abortion clinics or shooting women who have had legal abortions.

Seems to me your position is just that.

I have never read where Stone advocates the “bombing of abortion clinics” or suggests “shooting women who have had abortions.”

You really should stop with the hyperbole.

Your wanton and exaggerated statements are claims you cannot support.

Stop with them …

The point is you are a LIAR! You said you area against abortion yet you don't want to make it illegal

I've made my position on abortion perfectly clear, yet you remain a lying asshole about my beliefs. In a perfect world, abortion would be considered murder and be prosecuted as such.

Republicans don't want abortion to be illegal.

They've had 40+ years to change the law - nothing has changed - in fact it's gotten worse.

But you keep pulling that lever for your tribe chump.

Not giving a shit and saying oh well God will take care of it is what a pussy with no morals does.

First of all assclown, I do give a shit - and if you think that someone who says God will pass judgement on abortionists and women who have abortions has no morals - you'e simply delusional.

I've made my position on abortion perfectly clear,

You sure have.

Lip service. No punishment zero. So in fact you are for it being legal. Quite pretending.

They've had 40+ years to change the law - nothing has changed - in fact it's gotten worse.

But you keep pulling that lever for your tribe chump.

There are Republicans who are in favor of abortion too.

You said Republicans are for abortion. Or however you worded it. Implying all Republicans are for abortion.

Ok simpleton.

Lip service. No punishment zero.

What punishment do you suggest? Abortion is legal.

Man up and take matters into your own hands.

So in fact you are for it being legal.

No I am NOT - stop making shit up about my views.

Either that or shut the fuck up - I'm tired of you spewing your constant bullshit.

There are Republicans who are in favor of abortion too.

We should kill them too, right?

Red Flag Gun Confiscations "Reasonable Restrictions", aka Gun Control

Chuckles Barr is now taking the guns.

President Trump's new US Attorney General, William Barr is working with Dianne Feinstein on "Reasonable Regulations" for guns, aka Gun Control including Red Flag Gun Confiscations.

Watch the whole video of the hearing and especially the response by Barr to questions by Feinstein and pay particular attention the follow up question by Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) when Cornyn asked Barr to update Congress on his view of the Second Amendment.

Here is a good summation of Barr responding to Feinstein and Cornyn:

(CNSNews.com) - "In 1994, you said that gun control is a dead end," Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) told Attorney General-nominee William Barr at his confirmation hearing on Tuesday.

"Do you still believe that prudent controls on weapons won't reduce violent crime?" Feinstein, a staunch gun control advocate, asked him.

"I think that the problem of our time is to get an effective system in place that can keep dangerous firearms out of the hands of mentally ill people," Barr replied.

That is -- should be priority number one. And it's going to take some hard work. And we need to get on top of the problem. We need to come up with agreed- to standards that are prohibitors of people who are mentally ill. We have to put the resources in to get the system built up the way we did many years ago on the felon records and so forth.

We have to get the system working. And as I say, it's sort of piecemeal a little bit right now. We need to really get some energy behind it and get it done.

And I also think we need to push along the ERPOs (Extreme Risk Protection Orders), so we have these red flag laws to supplement the use of the background check to find out if someone has some mental disturbance. This is the single most important thing I think we can do in the gun control area to stop these massacres from happening in the first place.

Later, Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) asked Barr to update Congress on his view of the Second Amendment.

Barr said that even before the Supreme Court's 2008 Heller decision, which upheld the individual right to bear arms, he believed that was so.

"I personally concluded that the Second Amendment creates a personal right under the Constitution," Barr said.

It's based on the Lockean notion of the right of self-preservation. It's tied to that. And I was glad that -- to see Heller come out and vindicate that initial view that I had. And so there's no question under Heller that the right to have weapons is -- firearms, is protected under the Second Amendment and is a personal right. At the same time, there's room for reasonable regulation.

And you know, from my standpoint, what I would look for is -- in assessing a regulation is, what's the burden on law-abiding people? And is it proportionate to whatever benefit in terms of safety and effectiveness will be conferred?

As I said just a moment ago, let's get down to the real problem we're confronting, which is keeping these weapons out of the hands of people who are mentally ill. And I think all the rest of this stuff is really essentially rhetoric until we really get that problem dealt with, in terms of regulatory approaches.

You, Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), Barr, and President Trump are on the same page, Take The Guns First, Due Process later.

There has been no conviction of anything, but the guns have been confiscated prior to even appearing in court. Guilty until proven innocent.

AG Barr is another Eric Holder, fast and furious gun confiscations. When are you going to get off of the Obongo plantation?

You, Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), Barr, and President Trump are on the same page …

Under 18 U.S.C. § 922(d), it is unlawful for any person to sell or otherwise dispose of any firearm or ammunition to any person knowing or having reasonable cause to believe that such person “has been adjudicated as a mental defective or has been committed to any mental institution.” Restrictions in state laws vary from state to state.

Career

Hasson served in the Marine Corps from 1988 to 1993. He was then on active duty with the Army National Guard for approximately two years. He began working for the Coast Guard in 2016.[4]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Paul_Hasson#Career

Hanson is a United States Coast Guard officer. He wouldn't be there if he had been deemed mentally defective.

Your shuck 'n jive BS has nothing to do with this incident. If you weren’t so mentally defective, you'd realize that.

Hanson is a United States Coast Guard officer.

I know of no one who said he wasn’t.

He wouldn't be there if he had been deemed mentally defective.

I know of no legal authority where he was deemed mentally defective.

So, what is your point?

Your shuck 'n jive BS has nothing to do with this incident.

But the facts I presented have everything to do with the topic of your post to me which was:

Red Flag Gun Confiscations "Reasonable Restrictions", aka Gun Control

If you weren’t so mentally defective, you'd realize that.

Now which do you want to discuss, Hansen’s case or Red Flag laws?

The two subjects are entirely different and definitely not mutually inclusive here.

Take your time to decide. I realize that making a simple decision is a complex matter for you.

Hogg Wild Tater Nation

The topic is President Trump's campaign to disarm military personnel, after demonizing them. IMO, a test run for national gun confiscations. You'd be OK with that, but what about red blooded Americans?

You're a wacko, tater peeling officer Gatlin, so we're taking ur guns!

Deckard was pulling a smollet.

Haaaaaa
