Default Been wondering what...

...the boyz in my bozo bin have been doing...now I know:

Right-wing extremists are using encrypted channels to call for violence
against government officials on Jan. 20, the day President-elect Joe
Biden is inaugurated, with some extremists sharing knowledge of how to
make, conceal and use homemade guns and bombs.

The messages are being posted in Telegram chatrooms where white
supremacist content has been freely shared for months, but chatter on
these channels has increased since extremists have been forced off other
platforms in the wake of the Jan. 6 siege of the U.S. Capitol by
pro-Trump rioters.

In the days since the Capitol attack, for example, a U.S. Army field
manual and exhortations to "shoot politicians" and "encourage armed
struggle" have been posted in a Telegram channel that uses "fascist" in
its name.

Chris Sampson, chief of research at the defense research institute
Terror Asymmetrics Project on Strategy, Tactics and Radical Ideologies,
said his group is focused on and concerned about users of the channel
and has alerted the FBI about it. (TAPSTRI is run by Malcolm Nance, an
NBC News terrorism analyst.)

“When they start calling for assassinations, when they start calling for
action versus sharing information, we flag them a little higher," said
Sampson. "Some channels merely swap information, but then they
accelerated into conversations of where to be.”

Army field manual?
When those military types go wrong, they really go wrong.
They probably shouldn't be allowed to own guns for the benefit of the general population.
