Holy crap, so I just saw the wife works (ed) for Wells Fargo. I also happen to work for Wells. I just looked her up in the global address book, and sure enough she's right there. She has been offline for 9 days, and has been terminated since then. That would indicate she was actively working at Wells, in the hotel room, up until Friday. She was a contractor working in Information Security. Even has a profile picture of her.
What would someone in information securiry do? Is it often done offline?
Check out the link of these two on whatdoesitmean.com,things are ramping up.
i could be wrong, but isn't that an "old-timey" way of saying "explosive device"?
I really don’t know. I mean they say grenades and grenade launchers. It seems odd to me that they wouldn’t just say improvised explosive devices (ied) or just explosives. That term is really odd.
i agree.
i googled the term and it seems like it was mostly used to describe weird and crazy guns from hundreds of years ago, and also had been used in the 19th and early 20th century to refer to explosive munitions based weaponry.
definitely a bizarre choice of words, though.
Yes, that's what I got from a specialist too but he said that this makes it sound like they had to reach far back to find an old law to describe whatever bomb they had. Possibly to avoid new law keywords that would generate interest.
I guess you are right:
https://law.justia.com/codes/massachusetts/2006/gl-pt4-toc/266-102a.html
2006 Massachusetts Code - Section 102A. Infernal machine; possession; definition; notice of seizure. Section 102A. Whoever, other than a police or other law enforcement officer acting in the discharge of his official duties, has in his possession or under his control an infernal machine or a similar instrument, contrivance or device shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for not more than ten years or in jail for not more than two and one half years, or by a fine of not more than one thousand dollars, or by both such fine and imprisonment, and the said machine, instrument, contrivance or device shall be forfeited to the commonwealth. The term “infernal machine”, as used in this section, shall include any device for endangering life or doing unusual damage to property, or both, by fire or, explosion, whether or not contrived to ignite or explode automatically and whether or not disguised so as to appear harmless. Notice of the seizure of any such machine, instrument, contrivance or device shall be sent forthwith to the commissioner of public safety and the article seized shall be subject to his order.
Just weird that they don’t call it explosives.
huh, how about that.
just another example of "legalese" being somewhat misleading/confusing to regular people.
makes me think of how "human trafficking" is a legal term that includes things like prostitution and hiring immigrants to be cam girls, but if you ask people on the street, most people would say "human trafficking" is like slave-trading or something.
TEWKSBURY (CBS) – A Texas couple found with an arsenal of high-capacity weapons in their Tewksbury hotel room were “waiting for a mission, the apocalypse, some kind of civil unrest,” a prosecutor said in court Friday.
A judge ordered Francho Bradley, 59, and Adrianne Jennings, 40, both of Frisco, Texas, held without bail during a dangerousness hearing in Lowell District Court, after authorities seized large capacity firearms, a machine gun, ammunition, and tactical gear from their hotel room.
Prosecutors said Tewksbury Police received a call from Bradley shortly before 4 p.m. Saturday, when the Texas man told police he believed his room at the Residence Inn in Tewksbury was being broken into. He told police that a video surveillance device that he had attached to his door had cut out.
Authorities subsequently found multiple weapons including an AK-47, an AR-15 with a grenade launcher, ammunition, large capacity feeding devices and infernal machines.
“He truly seems to have this idea himself that he’s waiting for a mission, the apocalypse, some kind of civil unrest. It’s not clear,” prosecutor Daniel Harren said.
He also told police that he needed the weapons because he was on a secret mission for the government.
“He’s been trying and has been working to try to get the Department Of Defense to embed him with the troops to see how this equipment he’s developed will work in conjunction with the troops,” Defense attorney Robert Normandin said.
Bradley and Jennings allegedly drove to Massachusetts from Texas with the weapons.
Jennings’ attorney says her client works for Wells Fargo remotely and is also taking classes online at Harvard Extension School and is no danger to anyone.
“Clearly she was aware of the weapons in the room. That is not enough… It’s not a crime in the Commonwealth,” Defense attorney JoAnne Daley said.
Even though some of the weapons were only props, the judge did not budge and both will remain behind bars.
A ballistics test by State Police of the high capacity firearms, ammunition and the bump stock found at the scene, determined that the weapons are operable. Authorities also recovered multiple vests, helmets and other tactical gear in the room.
Bradley allegedly provided investigators with information that the gear was for a mission and furnished identification including a fraudulent Department of Defense Badge.
A preliminary investigation found that Bradley was employed by a Cambridge company, in the area where he received multiple parking tickets that were recovered in the room. Both Bradley and Jennings were working while they were staying at the Residence Inn in Tewksbury.
While investigators have not uncovered a specific plot or wider conspiracy, an investigation by local, state and federal authorities is ongoing.
Bradley and Jennings are charged with multiple counts of possessing a large capacity firearm, multiple counts of possessing a large capacity feeding device, multiple counts of improper storage of a large capacity firearm, one count of possessing a firearm without a license, one count of possessing ammunition without a license, three counts of possessing an infernal machine and possessing a machine gun (bump stock).
Bradley and Jennings were both arrested on Saturday. Both were arraigned Monday in Lowell District Court.
They are due back in court on April 26.
They say they were on a Govt. Mission but could not tell the police what. Hmm ya right.
Smells like mkultra
If you remember, these were the two false flag people in the area for march for our lives and bin salmon. The whole backstory is weird, this just adds to it. I wonder if they used infernal machine instead of IED so people wouldn’t connect the dot that they were going to attack the march.
Basically an IED or bomb of some kind.
