It has been confirmed that four adults in the US who planned to end the CIA and FBI through the resurrection of a kidnapped child were handed life sentences by a judge.

To paint a clearer picture, in December 2017, the group kidnapped a three-year-old in Georgia and transferred the child to a purpose-built training facility in New Mexico, where they planned to declare war against the US intel institutions.

In addition to the four, there is a fifth person, Haitian national Jany Leveille, who was their alleged cult leader, but she was given a 15-year sentence based on a plea deal, according to the Department of Justice.

Federal prosecutors revealed that the facility, which had no water, food, or electricity, was for training the children to carry out school shootings.

A resurrection prophecy

The kidnapped child died days later, and Leveille prophesized that he would be resurrected in April the following year, and would then lead them against their enemies, killing anyone who refused to join their cult.

The DoJ said, "In response, the group's firearms and tactical training ramped up in frequency, intensity, and complexity in anticipation of the Easter resurrection."

When the resurrection didn't happen on the expected date, she then changed the date.

Several malnourished children were found when law enforcement officers raided the facility, but a later search found the body of the three-year-old child.

"While clearing the compound, weapons, ammunition, and training documents were discovered confirming intelligence that had been received," the DoJ continued, adding, "The group intended to use the child as a prop in a plan to rid the world of purportedly corrupt institutions, including the FBI, CIA, and US military, and to kill those who did not convert and follow Leveille."

Siraj Ibn Wahhaj, the father of the kidnapped child, his sisters Hujrah and Subhanah Wahhaj, and Subhanah’s husband, Lucas Morton, were all jailed for life without parole, while Leveille will be deported upon her release.
