BREAKING: Details via federal arrest affidavit reveal that a California man named Michael Alan Thomas was one of the alleged organizers of the alleged UFC White House terror plot. Feds say he admitted he believes the U.S. government is run by elites who sacrifice and eat children, had involvement with Jeffrey Epstein, and are protected by President Trump.

Investigators took screenshots of his Signal chats in which details of the plot were discussed and maps of the UFC event were shown with suggestions on where snipers should be placed. Feds also recovered rifles & ammo.

Correction: Phone and weapon photos are from a separate defendant, a 19-year-old Ohio man named Tycen Proper, also arrested by FBI.

According to the complaint, Proper allegedly spent 3k of his "graduation money" to purchase "lots of" ammunition, guns, extra magazines and other things for the alleged attack. Had quit his job to meet up with people he had met online to conduct "missions" and "recons."
