Embassy Bomb Plot Thwarted: Colorado Man Arrested After Threats Against U.S. and Trump

 

A Colorado man is facing serious federal charges after allegedly attempting to bomb a U.S. Embassy office in Israel and posting violent threats online against Americans and President Donald Trump. Joseph Neumayer, 28, a dual citizen of the United States and Germany, was taken into custody Sunday afternoon at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York following his deportation from Israel.

 

 

Neumayer had reportedly traveled to Israel in April. According to the Department of Justice, on May 19, he approached the U.S. Embassy branch office in Tel Aviv carrying a dark backpack. Prosecutors say that as he passed an embassy guard, he spat on him before attempting to flee. In the process, Neumayer dropped his backpack, which authorities later searched. Inside, they allegedly discovered Molotov cocktails—homemade incendiary weapons commonly used in acts of sabotage and violence.

 

Israeli law enforcement tracked Neumayer to his hotel in Tel Aviv and arrested him shortly afterward. Further investigation revealed disturbing social media activity. On the morning of the incident, a post from an account believed to be Neumayer’s read: “Join me as I burn down the embassy in Tel Aviv. Death to America, death to Americans, and f*** the west.”

 

Authorities also uncovered additional online posts in which Neumayer had threatened to assassinate Donald Trump. He was quickly deported by Israeli officials and turned over to U.S. authorities. His first court appearance took place on Sunday in New York.

 

Attorney General Pam Bondi condemned the alleged plot in strong terms. “This defendant is charged with planning a devastating attack targeting our embassy in Israel, threatening death to Americans, and President Trump’s life,” she said in a statement. “The Department will not tolerate such violence and will prosecute this defendant to the fullest extent of the law.”

 

FBI Director Kash Patel echoed those sentiments, stating, “This despicable and violent behavior will not be tolerated at home or abroad, and the FBI, working with our partners, will bring him to face justice for his dangerous actions.”

 

If convicted, Neumayer faces up to 20 years in prison and a fine of $250,000.

 

This arrest comes in the shadow of two prior assassination attempts against Donald Trump during his 2024 re-election campaign. On July 13, Trump narrowly survived an attack at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, when a bullet grazed his ear. The shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, fired from a rooftop, but Trump’s dramatic response—raising his fist and yelling “fight, fight, fight”—galvanized his supporters and became an iconic image of the campaign.

 

Two months later, on September 15, another potentially deadly incident occurred when a man armed with an assault rifle was found hiding in the bushes at Trump’s Florida golf course while he was golfing. That man, Ryan Wesley Routh, is currently awaiting trial in November on charges including the attempted assassination of a major presidential candidate.

 

With the 2024 election cycle having seen multiple threats and attacks, authorities are taking no chances as they investigate the motivations and affiliations of individuals like Neumayer.

I've said it and i'll say it again ... the democrat leftists are nut cases. I used to be democrat when I was younger but then my opinion about democrats started to change around the time trump won his first election. I am sure I am not the only one who sees these leftist liberals as the cause of many problems today.

You do not know if he was a "leftist".  He is not much of a bomber nor given to planning, because he quickly  gave up.

How did he manage to assemble the parts for a molotov cocktail? Surely, in super security fixated Israel, someone would have noticed. Is anyone else wondering if he was helped along the way? Of all the places for a foreign visitor to try and bomb, a US  facility in Israel would be the least likely  because of the security.  Something isn't right with this. And awfully fast extradition. I would have expected the court appointed legal counsel to delay the procedure for weeks if not months.

Molotov cocktails are just a bottle with gas and a rag.

[Quentin Zen]

Although extremely dangerous, the Molotov cocktail can allow even an untrained civilian to take on a tank.

Maybe they wanted a win for Pam Bondi after 

months of doing nothing but talk on Fox.

Who are MAGA terrorists?

 

How much death and damage has been caused by the Oath Keepers or Proud Boys? Oh of course, screech January 6. No deaths though and surely no TARGETED  assassinations

How has she not been winning? Whole bunch of scumbags out there being arrested.

I haven't seen anywhere that Joseph Neumayer is a liberal but I did see that he is not: 

1. From the Middle East

2. dark skinned

3. An illegal immigrant

CNN and MSNBC are tools of radicalization. Something needs to be done

Why bring race into this? The two previous assassination attempts on Trump were also not.

Half American,  half German?  I guess he wanted to shoot up the embassy with an automatic rifle but he was too cheap to buy the bullets.

Come on Yagoda , you know the long list of people that lied to congress.

Nearly all of the Biden adm .

That just the easy ones .

Comey just lied about 86-47 , not in congress , and it was a clear threat . Why is he still walking around.

All the other crimes may take more time especially with a DOJ full of lefties

and an inept Bondi.

Even the credibility of Cash and the other FBI guy is falling.

 

So 4 years of Biden adm and the MAGA's don't have a list with evidence against all

the criminals during that period ? ( Comey , Mayorkas ,....)

Did they only just start after nov 6th or jan 20th ?

No , Trump's time could be limited.

They could loose the midterms.

And worse they can be pardonned in 2029 if they steal the election AGAIN.

[Patong2021]

The accused is 28 years old and his website is sketchy. His Linked In account is  all over the place

He has quite the imagination.   His listed job is that of CEO of Atlas Light Co.

https://www.imladrisai.com/team-and-independent-advisory

 

Interestingly enough he claims multiple  relationships with UAE, Saudi Arabia, Israel Latvia, Lithuania,  and others.

None of his posted information  is anti american or anti Trump.

 

Curiouser and curiouser.

 

I have a hunch  he is a few cards short of a full deck.

Exactly.

Media is making it worse and adding fuel to the fire.

I don't think there is any turning back

I think it will get worse before it gets better.

 

This is never going to end. And arguing on AN is also adding fuel to the fire.

True, but when you take them to court, you have to have all the facts and ducks in the proper order.   Sometimes it isn't that easy to get it done.  

 

I had one case that where it was evident that there were violations of law.  But it was almost a year before I had all the, factual evidence, gathered so it could be put before a federal judge.   It was a small piece by piece collection, then put together showing the time line and actions,  until it could be shown how the guy was committing the crime.   Judge sentenced him to a year.   That was a complicated case. 

 

A couple of times I got feedback from the judges telling me without evidence I gathered, they would have let the person go.
