Jeff LPH 3 sends along an update on the men who are accused of plotting to kidnap Governor Whitmer (D-MI) and kill cops to kickstart a civil war.
Two of the 13 men arrested in an alleged domestic terrorism plot to kidnap Michigan Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer were Marine veterans, according to Marine officials.
Joseph Morrison was a Marine reservist who joined the Corps in March 2015 and was discharged from the reserves as a lance corporal on Thursday, Capt. Joseph Butterfield, a headquarters Marine Corps spokesman, told Marine Corps Times Saturday.
He was assigned to Engineer Support Company, 6th Engineer Support Battalion, 4th Marine Logistics Group, Battle Creek, Michigan, and his awards included the National Defense Service Medal and the Selected Marine Corps Reserve Medal, Butterfield said.
His exit from the reserves had nothing to do with the alleged kidnapping plot, Butterfield said. The men were charged on Thursday.
Daniel Harris was an 0311 [infantry rifleman] who joined the Corps in June of 2015 and was discharged in June of 2019 after serving with 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marines, based out of Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, Butterfield said.
His awards included the Good Conduct Medal, the Humanitarian Service Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, the Korean Defense Service Medal and the Sea Service Deployment Ribbon, Butterfield said.
The two men were allegedly part of a militia group named the “Wolverine Watchmen,” who were allegedly plotting to take down the Michigan government for perceived constitutional violations, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel said at a Thursday news conference.

The only question that really matters:
Where they Trump supporters or not?
Where they conservatives or not?
The media is going to run with it regardless. I already had some of my young millenial Judden relatives saying “see? I told you Trump was a racist Nazi supporter”.
Me, I am like, facepalm.
read the other day that two were anti-Trump, the rest “alt-right” – sounded to me like more of an “anti-everything” idiots group. Don’t know if the anti-Trump folks were either of these two.
This group is a mix of right-wing nuts, left-wing agitators, anarchists, whack-jobs, and nincompoops so the story has lost a lot of steam in the eyes of the Industrial Media Complex. If this group was 2A/MAGA hat wearers they’d dominate the news cycle for next 3 weeks. You can always tell the race/ethnicity/political leaning of any suspect by what the IDC DOESN’T describe.
The lock-down by Whitmer was ruled unconstitutional by a Michigan court… not sayin’ they were justified but just sayin’.
Do they have NDSM’s?
The highly coveted and rarely awarded National Defense Service Medal?
The article said so. (Just shaking my head with rage that once again the proud order of the NDSM has been sullied. . . .)
I believe the clean-shaven guy attended at least one BLM rally. And posted anti-Trump BS online.
So far, I have yet to see anything that shows this collection of morons was pro-Trump. Since the info about their anti Trump statements came out, the stories on the whole thing is quietly fading into the background in outstate Michigan.
Lots of use of “allegedly”.
Rumor has it the Wolverine Watchmen served crayons at the meetings, these Marines just got wrapped up in free snacks.
—R-D, Out
DAMN!!! Roh-Dog!!!:lol: :leer: 😆 😉
You win the inherwebz comment on that one!
These guys were tasked with picking up all of the brass once the mission was completed.
Video of one of the Whitmer kidnap plot ringleaders on an anti-cop rant. Notice the Antifa flag behind him.
Technically, that circle-A brand is “anarchy” , not “Antifa”.
Antifa usually uses a black flag with a circled pair of flags, one black for anarchy one red for marxism/communism.
But anarchists/antifa are not noted for consistency (or rational behavior) either.
I stand corrected. Coffee is proscribed.
That’d explain it. 😉
“pro·scribe
/prōˈskrīb/
verb
past tense: proscribed; past participle: proscribed
forbid, especially by law.”
LOL..A Gaggle of misfits…
They wish they rose to that level. They are still trying to reach as high as “shitshow”.
Nice…!!!
Seems Governor Resting Bitchface was about to get abducted by her ideological peers. Wonder if they planned to make their getaway in her husband’s boat?
And does she thank the Trump administration for saving her ass? Of course not.
