New Black Panthers Charged In St. Louis Bomb Plot

ST. LOUIS - Two members of the New Black Panther Party arrested last week on federal weapons charges were planning to bomb the Gateway Arch, and to kill St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Bob McCulloch and Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson, sources tell NewsChannel 5.

The men, identified in an indictment as Brandon Baldwin and Olajuwon Davis, are said to have given false information and bought guns from the Cabellas in Hazelwood, Missouri.

Baldwin and Davis were arrested November 20.

are WAY too convenient, how we have a history of manipulating people for certain outcomes.

Like the CIA infesting the AfAm community with crack cocaine.

As guilty of at least vol manslaughter Wilson is, as obviously guilty of vol manslaughter Garner's killer is, as obvious as it is that certain authorities will create boogie men where none exist, as in this story most likely, the REAL problem we have to deal with, well two problems, are being ignored for the most part...

climate change

income inequality

As long as racist cops are slaughtering AfAm in the street, the oligarchs get to continue to steal our money and destroy our environment.

for the shadow gov't and .01% to declare the marshal law they think
they'll need to 'maintain order' when the financial markets crash again,
which seems like a foregone conclusion

I doubt they had any serious intentions of pulling this off especially going after the Gateway Arch.

These agencies like to go after homeless people and the mentally ill with these stings. The informant gets their 'finders fee', the agency gets more funding and the lead investigators gets a raise.

Its a win/win for them.

reported on the night of Nov 20 that the two men had been arrested for a bomb plot. They retracted the story the VERY NEXT DAY.

Who are these fucking 'sources'? I'll bet they are the same ones who fed the line of shit to CBS back on Nov. 20.

You should seriously consider self-deleting this thread, lest you embarrass yourself when the story is debunked yet again.

NewsOK often links to other news sources, notably Huffington Post.

Honestly, I'm not in on some big conspiracy here.

I'm sure you don't believe me, so here's the link:

are Witness #40.

That said, I don't believe it's my responsibility to do quality control on your sourcing. But I'll just tell you right now that the verbiage in the KSDK 5 story sounds almost identical to the verbiage published back on Nov 20 that was retracted within 24 hours!

I know nothing about the quality of KSDK 5's reporting or broadcasts, but I'll simply say: caveat emptor.

I'm pretty sure I could prove I never testified in front of the grand jury if I had to, but I'm not going to bother. Like I said in my earlier reply, if you think I'm part of a conspiracy, I can't help that.
