🚨 New Dangerous Details about the Attempted Attack at White House UFC Freedom 250

This past Sunday, President Trump hosted a UFC event on the White House lawn. The event was a success by all appearances. There was a massive show, a live audience, even a flyover by American jets. But the evening could have ended much differently. A revolutionary group from Ohio was planning a massive attack to, in their words, jumpstart a revolution. But as we'll see in a moment, their motivation may have been very different and much more dangerous than was originally reported in the media.
About a week ago in Danville, Ohio, a woman called her local police department. She was calling in regard to her 19-year-old son, Tyson Proper, who was still living at home. She didn't know exactly why she was calling, but she knew something wasn't right with her son.
Apparently several months before, Tyson had quit his job and had been leaving for weekend trips with unknown friends. He had also been buying thousands of dollars of ammunition, also a shotgun, rifle, camping gear, body armor, et cetera. And this was not normal behavior for Tyson. According to Tyson's mother, he had been becoming more and more religious over recent months and had been researching locations around Washington, DC.
When she asked Tyson about what he was doing, she was not prepared for the answer that he gave her. He told her that he was making plans as recon for hit and run missions. This is what prompted the phone call to the police.
Tyson was quickly arrested. The FBI were notified and an investigation was opened. The FBI quickly discovered an Internet group that Tyson was a part of. Members of the group believed that the United States needed to be dismantled so that it could be rebuilt. And in service to this idea, they planned a massive attack on US government officials. And this attack would take place at the UFC event at the White House. Here's a clip by Secret Service Deputy Director Matt Quinn explaining more.

I'd say it was unique due to the numbers involved, the level of planning involved. Thankfully, our Advanced Threat Interdiction Unit got on top of it very early, involved partners.
Working these cases is a whole of government. They don't happen in a bubble. But it was an active plot, yes, involving purported claim to be planned to use drones, snipers, etc.

Before I go into how they intended to carry out this horrific attack, I want to discuss some of their motives. Apparently, the group was founded on ideology, very similar to the likes of what we've been hearing from far-right conservative commentators. Rhetoric like Jeffrey Epstein was a Mossad agent and Israel, through AIPAC, controls the United States government. Both of these claims are absurd on their face. There is no evidence whatsoever that Epstein had any connection to Israeli intelligence. And AIPAC is just one of the many lobbying groups who spend money to influence the US government, and is actually completely run by Americans with no connection to the Israeli government. In fact, when you look at lobbying groups in the United States and rank them by amount of money spent on influence, AIPAC doesn't even make it into the top 50 They do give money to help fund election campaigns, but again, their influence is largely overrated. For example, in the 2024 US elections for president and also for representatives, both of those combined, AIPAC gave less than 1% of all funds given to election campaigns.
But members of this group had bought the lie that AIPAC and thereby Israel are controlling our government, and that was all that they needed. Apparently Tyson told his co-conspirators in a message that they should target Senator of Tennessee, Marsha Blackburn, because of her support for Israel. He also mentioned targeting senators Jim Justice, Shelly Capito, Carol Miller, and Representative Riley Moore. It seems this plan of targeting pro-Israel representatives was ultimately scrapped in favor of a higher profile attack on the UFC event at the White House. And the details that have been released so far as to exactly what they were planning to do are horrifying. The conspirators involved would leave their homes with their weapons and equipment several days ahead of the event, meeting in Fredericksburg, Virginia, which is about one hour's drive from the White House. On the night of the UFC event, they would stage a protest near the White House. The protest would then be used as cover to launch small explosive rigged FPV drones to fly toward the north end of the White House. The drones would then explode over the UFC event, causing chaos and a panicked evacuation. The intention was for the explosions to force people to evacuate toward the south, directly towards waiting gunmen. While the evacuation was happening, attackers would be staged in vantage points with clear view of the exits, and the attackers would then use sniper rifles to either pick off high-value targets or simply gun down as many people as possible. Thank God, the FBI was able to stop this, and a massive tragedy was prevented. As the Secret Service Deputy Director said in that video that we played earlier, this was unique due to the numbers involved and the level of planning involved. And the outcome of this could have been horrific.
