## Resource

FBI foils deadly drone and sniper plot targeting UFC event at White House—five arrested, including alleged leader “Shepherd,” who planned explosive drone strikes followed by sniper ambushes against VIPs and officials. The scheme, uncovered via TikTok and encrypted apps, stemmed from grievances over U.S. foreign policy and Epstein case. Though firearms were seized, drone gear status unclear. Event—coinciding with Trump’s 80th and nation’s 250th anniversary—was never in real danger thanks to swift intervention. Authorities warn this is just the tip of the iceberg in the growing threat of tech-enabled domestic extremism. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
