According to the complaint, Perry’s phone was seized, and showed extensive contact with Faye leading up to his arrest.

“Specifically, Faye expressed a desire to travel with Perry and another individual to the U.S. /Mexico border and commit acts of violence,” the complaint stated.

In March 2023, the FBI introduced an undercover agent to Faye on TikTok. After exchanging messages, Faye provided the agent with his phone number for further communication.

On April 1, 2023, three undercover agents met with Faye, in person, along with his two sons. During the meeting, Faye asked if the undercover agents were federal law enforcement.

After confirming that the undercover agents were not law enforcement, he began discussing his beliefs that the government was “training to take on its citizens” and allowing migrants to enter the country to assist them.

I do wonder if the GQP will lose full control over these groups. They are good at getting them riled up and keeping their attention, but if we take a page from apocalyptic cults; after several failed predictions they often conclude that it is up to them to ensure the second coming.

I mean, that's ultimately where this is going to head I'm afraid. Lots of these crazies are thinking a civil war is imminent, which means they may try to kick something off. We've been seeing this largely isolate behavior now for a few years, I don't think it's going to get any better anytime soon.

They’re poking a tiger and then leopards ate face is gonna happen. They allowed Margie to have a platform and she’s surprisingly good with it. Bobo didn’t know how to use it, but Margie is a natural. It’s all gonna go to hell pretty soon. I’m planning on getting out.
