Federal authorities arrested Raymond Eugene Chandler III, a Pennsylvania man running for the U.S. Senate as a Democrat in the 2028 election cycle last week for allegedly making graphic death threats against President Donald Trump and a member of Congress.

Chandler is accused of violating federal laws related to influencing, impeding, or retaliating against a federal official by threat.

According to an FBI affidavit, he left multiple voicemails for a congressman between April 2025 and January 2026, urging the lawmaker to assassinate Trump and threatening violence against the congressman’s family.

One voicemail dated April 29, 2025, stated: “I want you to walk into the Oval Office with a gun in your hand. I want you to put it to his [Trump’s] temple, and I want you to pull the trigger”.

Additional messages referenced threats to “personally kill” and included discussions of acquiring weapons to fight the government, according to the complaint.

His messages also include graphic depictions of violence against wealthy people, such as breaking into their homes and slitting the throats of affluent families.

Authorities described Chandler as holding far-left political views.

His campaign platform included proposals such as “Tax the Billionaires,” abolishing ICE, and implementing universal basic income.

The arrest comes amid heightened security concerns involving threats targeting Trump in 2026.

In a separate incident days earlier, authorities reported an armed attempt by another individual, identified as Cole Allen, to enter the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

Also on May 1, 2026, a U.S. Army veteran, Daniel Swain, was arrested in a separate case while allegedly traveling to Washington D.C. to kill Trump.

The cases are part of ongoing enforcement actions by the U.S. Secret Service and FBI targeting threats against federal officials.

IN the summer of 2019, I was seated in the wine cellar of a walled Medieval town high above the Dordogne Valley of France, not far from Sarlat-la-Canéda, making phone calls, writing reports. I have given this story in other places and it appears as though you’re about to hear it again. Rob Skiba is a name you that you might be familiar with. Though he had made a name for himself as a Nephilim researcher, more recently Rob had taken a dive into the deep end of the pool via flat earth research. The recorded interviews I conducted between he and Rick Hummer, a fellow flat earth investigator and close friend of his, was published while still occupying that very wine cellar. Read all about it. Chicago Is Not a Mirage.

Word quickly spread. Within a few short weeks, dozens of flat earth researchers began accepting my invite for a private interview, if not a series of interviews. From a 17th-century tower built by King Louis XIV, and with a stunning view of the Alps, I sat down with Robbie Davidson, founder of the Flat Earth International Conferences, conducting multiple sessions. While staying in Dumfries, Scotland, David Weiss agreed to take part in the interviews, as did Bob Knodel of Globebusters. There were others. But when I asked the interviewees to discuss the moments that shaped their lives, among the many PSYOPs, false flag attacks, and hoaxes that were discussed, only these men committed commentary to the false 9/11 narrative.

The resulting recordings ballooned into The Unexpected Cosmology, a book which became a website and was even intended as an anthology. And of course, the following discourse was originally a chapter. It was Walt Disney who stated, “Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.” Those sentiments remain applicable here as well. American Sensationalism: The 9/11 Interviews was always intended to be expanded upon with the inclusion of new researchers. So I’m sorry to say the project became stagnant during the Covid-19 psychodrama. I took a break to tackle other projects. We lost Rob Skiba. Rob offered hours of private conversation regarding his life but we never got around to the big one. 9/11. It was in the cards. Sadly, Bob Knodel died soon afterwards. Voices are being squeezed from an entire generation. Gnosis passes with them.

In the aftermath, the FE community became fractured. People began going their separate ways. Robbie Davidson, among a noted few others who were interviewed for the project, got up and left the movement altogether. It is not my intent to erase his or the contributions of others if only brief. They came, they went, their testimonies remain.

The original vision may have hit roadblocks but it is not forgotten. I expanded this paper a few years later to include testimony from author Pauly Hart, a dear friend of mine. I had wanted to continue that trend every year thereafter but you know how it goes. For the 25th anniversary of the attack I have redirected my efforts to its first large scale expansion, including Andrew Hoy and Darrin Geisinger into the mix. Perhaps others will lend their experiences to the recorder in time.

The following is their report.
