White Supremacist Skyler Philippi Arrested in Drone Bomb Plot Against Nashville Power Substation
Nov 5, 2024, 01:01 AM
Federal authorities have arrested 24-year-old Tennessee man, Skyler Philippi, moments before he planned to use an explosive-laden drone to destroy a Nashville power substation. The Department of Justice announced that Philippi, who adheres to a violent white supremacist ideology known as accelerationism, aimed to "shock the system" and cause widespread disruption. He is associated with the Atomwaffen Division, making him the 20th member of the group to face federal charges. Prior to the attempted attack, Philippi participated in a Nordic ritual that included praying to Odin. The FBI infiltrated his network and thwarted the plot shortly before it was to be executed.
