  • Magic Beans
    In 2017, a man showed up at the emergency room and confessed that he'd accidentally poisoned himself with homemade ricin. He was federally charged with possessing a biological agent, but his case was dismissed on almost unbelievable technicality. But he's not the only man who thinks he can create the perfect weapon from nothing but a handful of beans.Sources:https://www.ajc.com/news/state--regional/ajc-watchdog-north-man-arrested-for-ricin-radicalized-online/wdxws9G7zMmaUDmm22njYK/https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/the-perfect-poison-ricin-used-in-3-recent-cases/https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/17023504/united-states-v-jordan/https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/6378803/united-states-v-siers-hill/ https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/6293428/united-states-v-gibbs/ Melissa Abbes, Marc Montana, Christophe Curti, Patrice Vanelle.

  • Slow Decline
    In 2016, Nicholas Young became the first American police officer to be arrested and charged with a federal terrorism offense. At trial, jurors were shown mountains of evidence about his collection of nazi memorabilia. But what does that have to do with the gift cards he texted to an FBI informant he thought was a member of ISIS?Sources:https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/4559133/united-states-v-youngHelen Taylor (2019): Domestic terrorism and hate crimes: legal definitions and media framing of mass shootings in the United States, Journal of Policing, Intelligence and Counter Terrorismhttps://www.academia.edu/81063064/Domestic_terrorism_and_hate_crimes_legal_definitions_and_media_framing_of_mass_shootings_in_the_United_Stateshttps://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/2004/11/19/official-allegedly-hinted-at-saudi-torture-of-va-man/d2a5ab07-28dd-4390-a245-c937083178f4/https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/09/13/AR2008091302275.html https://web.archive.org/web/20210924060335/https://www.nysun.com/national/a-prosecutor-is-called-relentless/82727/https://harpers.org/2009/03/more-prosecutorial-misconduct-in-the-al-arian-case/ https://theintercept.com/2021/07/17/julian-assange-extradition-gordon-kromberg/https://theintercept.com/2017/03/16/prosecutors-allege-dubious-isis-nazi-connection-in-terror-sting-case/ https://www.cair.com/cair_in_the_news/va-terror-prosecutor-accused-of-anti-muslim-bias/ https://www.abajournal.com/news/article/prosecutor_accused_of_personal_animus_in_muslim_terrorism_cases http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/foreigners/2015/08/foundation_for_the_defense_of_democracies_inside_the_small_pro_israel_think.single.html https://web.archive.org/web/20150818165301/http://www.thenation.com/article/washingtons-sketchy-pro-israelanti-iran-camp/ https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/02/opinion/conservative-think-tanks-bannon.html Human Rights Watch & Human Rights Institute, Illusion of Justice: Human Rights Abuses in US Terrorism Prosecutions, (2014).Available at: https://scholarship.law.columbia.edu/human_rights_institute/44 T.

  • CZM Rewind: The Civil War False Flag
    When someone left a bomb at a Civil War reenactment event in 2017, it looked like antifascist activists were out for revenge after the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville. A mysterious letter writer claiming to be an antifascist collective took credit for the bomb and threatened even more violence to come if Civil War reenactments weren't called off. But the bomber wasn't antifa - it was a spurned Confederate re-enactor.
