Averting what might have been one of the most serious right-wing terror sprees since a neo-Nazi group called The Order carried out a series of attacks 30 years ago, Texas FBI agents on March 27 arrested a man who was allegedly plotting to use C-4 explosives and weapons to kill police officers, rob banks, and blow up government buildings and mosques.

Alleged aspiring terrorist Robert James Talbot Jr., 38, of Katy, Texas, was held without bond on federal charges of attempted interference with commerce by robbery, solicitation to commit a crime of violence, and possession of an explosive material.

Talbot, who dreamed of 鈥渞estor[ing] America pre-Constitutionally鈥� and who 鈥渓ook[ed] forward to stopping the Regime with action by bloodshed,鈥� allegedly recruited followers through a Facebook page called American Insurgent Movement (AIM), seeking five or six allies who shared his belief that 鈥淸b]lood and bullets are the only two things that will change this world, short of divine action.鈥�

Talbot鈥檚 openness about his alleged plans was his undoing. Instead of the 鈥渓ike-minded鈥� individuals he sought, his online activity attracted an FBI confidential informant and two undercover FBI agents, who on March 26 provided him with inert C-4 explosives and eight other useless explosive devices he purchased for $500. FBI agents arrested Talbot the next day, after a meeting at a storage facility with the three supposed allies, who, he believed, would help him rob an armored car and 鈥渇ight to stop Marxism, liberalism, Central banking Cartels and the New World Order.鈥�

According to the testimony of FBI Special Agent Renee Cline, who is part of a domestic terrorism task force, Talbot to have AIM kick off its murderous spree on March 28 by going to a mosque at prayer time to 鈥渢ake women, children, men and shoot them.鈥�

Cline testified that Talbot, who urged his recruits to prepare for their bloody mission by 鈥渨atching violent war movies to mentally prepare for killing people,鈥� had been banned from two militia chat rooms because the views he expressed were so violent. 鈥淚 cannot take someone who doesn鈥檛 understand what war/battle is like ... that can not handle seeing body parts flying everywhere,鈥� he allegedly during an online chat with a prospective recruit.

Talbot鈥檚 thwarted plans bear a disturbing similarity to a terror spree carried out three decades ago by a neo-Nazi group called The Order, or Silent Brotherhood, whose members used a machine gun to assassinate Jewish radio talk show host Alan Berg and robbed $3.8 million from an armored car in Ukiah, Calif.

The FBI opened an investigation into Talbot鈥檚 activities in August 2013 after uncovering his plan to recruit others for terror attacks. According to court documents, he planned to rob banks to fund 鈥淥peration Liberty,鈥� murdering 鈥渆veryone working for the 鈥榖anking Cartels鈥� during the heist.鈥�

鈥淪ame goes with the Muslims,鈥� he wrote on Facebook. 鈥淢osques are going to be a blast! With three of my guys with FA [fully automatic] AK鈥檚 [AK-47 rifles], we will send that white house worthless piece of dirt and his Muslim brotherhood a message they will never forget.鈥�
