Member of white supremacy group charged in alleged plot to solicit murder of 'high-value targets'
Noah Lamb was charged and indicted in Northern California federal court with eight counts of conspiracy, soliciting the murder of federal officials, doxing federal officials, and interstate threatening communication, according to a federal indictment unsealed Wednesday.
Authorities allege that between November 2021 and September 2024, Lamb collaborated with members of the Terrorgram Collective to create a list of targets they viewed as "enemies of the cause of white supremacist accelerationism," the indictment states.
The Terrorgram Collective is described as a network of white supremacist, neo-Nazi and accelerationist groups who promote violence and white supremacy, according to the Anti-Defamation League. The group primarily connects through the social networking app Telegram.
An attorney for Lamb declined to comment on the case.
The indictment does not name any of the targets but says that the list included a U.S. senator, a U.S. district court judge, a former U.S. Attorney General, as well as state and local officials, non-governmental groups, and business leaders.
The targets were allegedly chosen because of race, religion, sexual orientation, and gender identity based on the group's belief that "the white race is superior," the Justice Department said in a Wednesday news release.
Each target had a "list card" that allegedly included reasons why the group viewed them as an enemy, according to the indictment. The judge was allegedly labeled as "an invader" from a foreign country and highlighted the judge's ruling on an immigration issue, the indictment states. Federal prosecutors say the senator was allegedly labeled "an Anti-White, Anti-gun, Jewish senator," and the former attorney general was called a racial slur.
According to the news release, Lamb was responsible for identifying the targets and obtaining their home addresses and other personal information, which other group members could then disseminate.
"Transnational criminal networks that promote extremist ideology and seek to commit targeted assassinations and cause terror obviously have no place in our society," Assistant Attorney General John A. Eisenberg of the Justice Department's National Security Division said in a statement.

Mom sparks elementary school lockdown after sending child to class with deadly weapon in her bag
A Florida mother sent her child's school into lockdown after she placed a deadly weapon in her bag. Sierra Nichole Bronner, 39, of Middleburg, was arrested on felony charges after her daughter went to school with a gun in her backpack on Wednesday. She had allegedly packed the weapon in the student's backpack to have her give the gun back to her father, who lives separately, before the school day, but the child forgot. When the girl opened their backpack while at Coopergate Elementary School, she allegedly discovered the gun and informed a teacher, prompting a modified lockdown, Clay County Sheriff Michelle Cook said. Students were still allowed to continue with class, but were not allowed to leave or enter school grounds until police completed their work. The father, who was not identified, had driven the girl to school and was unaware the child had the weapon in their bag. Bronner was charged with child neglect and giving a firearm to a minor and taken to the Clay County Jail. Cook advised parents to check children's backpacks before bringing them to school so they are aware of the contents. 'It's crucial that parents know what their children are bringing to school before they leave home,' Cook said in a statement. 'In this specific case, this was a poor decision and could've ended in tragedy.' Daily Mail has reached out to Bronner for comment. It comes after a North Carolina mother was arrested after firing two shots in the air at a back-to-school event to break up a fight between her son and another boy. Cherez Montique Davis, 34, of Charlotte, was arrested on Saturday after allegedly firing at least two rounds into the air from her Taurus G6 while at an event at the CW Williams Community Health Center around 1pm. The shots were fired to break up a fight between her son and another boy, according to an affidavit viewed by Daily Mail. Another adult intervened and that is when Davis pulled the gun out of her backpack and fired it before placing the weapon back inside and walking away, the filings say. No one was injured, but the sound of gunshots made the crowd of 100 scatter in fear, the affidavit said. She was charged with going armed to the terror of the people and carrying a concealed weapon. Both are misdemeanors.

Now we have proof free speech is a joke in two-tier Britain
After Labour councillor Ricky Jones stood at a demonstration in Walthamstow decrying 'disgusting Nazi fascists' and telling a crowd through a microphone that 'we need to cut all their throats and get rid of them all', a jury of Mr Jones's peers cleared him of any offence. When Lucy Connolly – married to a Tory councillor – posted on social media 'set fire to all the f-----g hotels full of all the b------s for all I care… if that makes me racist so be it', she chose to plead guilty under apparent pressure from the state. Ms Connolly is currently serving a 31-month prison sentence, at times on a 23-hour lockdown confined to her cell with no privileges, for her ill-tempered words. Others, who stood their ground, walked free. The results were still unpleasant – the process is in part the punishment – but better than they might otherwise have been. It is hard not to feel that the difference between the two cases is less a matter of law than politics. Lucy Connolly was denied bail as Sir Keir Starmer and the judiciary worked on their 'shared understanding' that anyone expressing sentiments that could have encouraged last year's riots needed to be made an example of. Sir Keir himself told the nation that individuals would be held on remand. The Home Office openly risked prejudicing trials by labelling those arrested, charged but not yet convicted as 'criminals'. If there's a lesson here, it may well be that people can say stupid things without the world collapsing around them. And that the public – which did not visibly respond to either exhortation – can be trusted, for the most part, to recognise the distinction between genuinely threatening language and idiocy, both on the streets and in jury deliberations. Unlike our American cousins, British people have only a very qualified right to free speech. While the human rights system appears to go out of its way to undermine attempts to control borders or crack down on crime, protection of speech is heavily caveated. And the British state makes full use of these carve-outs in its attempt to maintain its fragile grip on the country it has built. Its most important aim is to prevent tensions between groups. Speech that might inflame them is subject to stringent oversight and exacting scrutiny by officials terrified of what might spiral out from a frank examination of the country as it is. People on the Left, however, can speak with relative security. The result, in the words of Reform's Zia Yusuf, appears to be 'a country in which those who have the correct 'regime' political views can openly call for their political opponents to be brutally murdered, be filmed doing so, and face no criminal consequences'.

The US delegation left Alaska in Air Force One after a long day and landed back in Washington shortly after 7am. Trump held a lengthy phone call with Zelensky during the flight and invited the Ukrainian President to Washington in just 48 hours. Zelensky later posted on Telegram accepting the invitation as he added: "We discussed positive signals from the American side regarding participation in guaranteeing security for Ukraine." Nato leaders were also updated on the summit in a separate call with Trump. The US President revealed on Truth Social that he informed the European side and Zelensky of Putin's main wish for a complete end to the war instead of a ceasefire. Trump then confirmed: "It was determined by all that the best way to end the horrific war between Russia and Ukraine is to go directly to a Peace Agreement." The latest update came hours after the US President rated his talks with Putin as "10 out of 10' but admitted we "haven't quite got there". He added: "There's no deal until there's a deal." Trump followed this up by insisting it's now up to Zelensky to "get it done" and secure a deal over Ukraine's future. Putin himself also claimed he was "sincerely interested" in ending the war. But back home, his troops continued their savage bombardment with over 85 attack drones and a ballistic missile fired overnight, according to Kyiv's Air Force.
