Marine accused of taking classified docs in neo-Nazi plot gets 7 years in plea deal – #terror

Federal prosecutors laid out a case against Jordan Duncan, a Marine Corps veteran and federal defense contractor who became immersed in a secretive neo-Nazi group in the summer of 2020, describing an operative nicknamed “soldier” who was prized by his fellow extremists for his military expertise. The indictment against Duncan alleged that while serving in the Marine Corps 2d Radio Battalion at North Carolina’s Camp Lejeune, he “gathered a library of information, some military-owned and some publicly available, regarding various weaponry, to include firearms, explosives, and even nerve toxins.” The government presented evidence that Duncan shared the information with a handful of other young, white men who actively plotted an attack on the power grid that they hoped would plunge the country into chaos and provide cover for an assassination campaign. All of it, the government alleged, was for the purpose of launching a race war that would ultimately allow the formation of a white ethno-state. But when Duncan stood in a federal courtroom in Wilmington dressed in an orange jail jumpsuit and horn-rimmed glasses on Monday, the seven-year prison sentence meted out to him by a judge was for a firearms violation.
