A Jewish-American man who pretended to be an Australian-based IS jihadist is facing up to 20 years in prison after reaching a plea agreement with authorities in the United States.
Joshua Ryne Goldberg, a 22-year-old first exposed by a joint SBS-Fairfax investigation in 2015, pleaded guilty to charges arising from an attempt to enlist a person to bomb a September 11 memorial event in Kansas City.
Posing online as “AusWitness” and “Australi Witness”, Goldberg had also discussed getting someone to stage a terrorist attack in Melbourne and encouraged attacks on a Texas art exhibit that included caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed.
...
Goldberg sent an FBI informant website links with instructions for making explosives similar to that used by the Boston bombers in order to inflict maximum carnage on the Kansas memorial event for first responders killed during the September 11 attacks.
“Goldberg provided the (informant) with a list of items to use in the pressure cooker bomb, including shards of metal, nails, and broken glass,” the department said.
Goldberg told the contact that he would post a video of the bombing on his website.
“A forensic analysis of the bomb-making information determined that it could have been used to make explosives that would cause property damage, personal injury, and/or death,” the department said.

Makes you wonder how many of these IS "claimed" attacks are actually carried out by "Muslims" or rather Jews who would benefit from a Islam vs West style conflict.
Also the double standard of the west when reporting terrorism by non-Muslims, calling them anything but terrorists, even when this guy provided instructions, directions, and motivation for committing terrorist attacks.
Other fun stuff for this guy, one of his reddit accounts, where he is the moderator of dozens of anti-semitic, pro-white, anti-islam subreddits.

He is also thought to be part of the Rita Katz SITE intelligence group, who always manage to find a "jihadi" announcement video before anyone else does. A guy with such massive reddit coverage does not appear to be a lone-actor, he has to be a state sponsored agent.
