"We did a lot of cool stuff while you weren't looking that we can't tell you about but you should be thankful and praise us."
This give serious "my girlfriend lives in another state" vibes. My go to with these guys is to always assume the opposite of what they say. So I assume they did nothing.

It probably means they messed up their own terrorist plot.

We were gonna terrorize some immigrants but our team wanted to hold a costume contest in a field instead.
Oddly enough everyone decided to dress up as a ghost this year. They burned a large

I'm assuming that this means that the FBI shut down a food bank?

Some kids were planning to dress up in costumes and go door to door asking for candy

I learned today that the local schools have banned dressing up in costumes in the last two years or so. Apparently, It’s a security risk.

Usually, when the FBI arrests "terrorists", you find out that the FBI was the mastermind of the plot; provided materials and weapons; and the people arrested were recruited by the FBI. This pattern holds true with the militia types and the jihads.
Not that violent idiots don't belong in jail, but it's just funny that the FBI has planned more attacks on US soil than any other terrorist org. And it's depressing because any smart and capable terrorist would never come within a mile of the FBI's amateur hour entrapment.

Meanwhile, we had a huge terrorist attack all over the north suburbs of Chicago yesterday with chemical weapons used.

It's likely not true considering the source...

Unless it involved keeping terrorists like ICE out of the neighborhood, I'm gonna call bullsh*t on that.

Worth noting that Michigan is a Hotspot for far-right extremist groups. It was from here they conspired to kidnap Whitmer. False flags are of course common, too. Wasn't a recent shooting there from some qanon nutjob, too?
