    Weisenburg and Thomas had plans to purchase a sailboat, firearms and ammunition as well as recruit homeless people from Washington, D.C. to serve as their “mercenary force” as they invaded the Island of Gonave and staged a coup d’etat.

    Weirdly specific that they wanted to go from North Texas to DC to re ruit mercenaries to invade Haiti…

      Or that they thought they’d recruit enough to take over an island of 87,077 people

        I was going to lookup the population and expected it to be like 100-200 people but 87k people??? I would love to see what kind of operational plans they had to pull that off. What size occupying force would even be needed? Probably at least 1-2 thousand mercenaries??? One sailboat ain’t fitting that size group.
