The FBI, entrapment, and the fear card

The FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force has been around since 1980, when the first was established in New York City. Today, these task forces are based in 104 cities nationwide, including at least one in each of the FBI’s 56 field offices, for a total of 71 JTTFs created since 9/11.

Today, these task forces operate through a network of 15,000 informants to search out and find Muslims to prosecute for terrorism or related activities. Some of these informants are on a regular payroll, earning between $50,000 and $60,000 per year.

In many cases, they entrap Muslims by approaching men or women that had no thought of breaking our laws or killing anyone. These are generally individuals who can’t even read or write. The informant will offer money—anywhere from $5,000 to as much as $250,000—to get the FBI sting suspect’s interest. Then they are provided bombs (that won’t explode) or other weapons like stinger missiles (that won’t fire). They are then arrested and prosecuted with as much media fanfare as can be generated to show what a wonderful job the FBI is doing to protect us!

Known as “entrapment,” this is unlawful FBI sting activity, because it’s the FBI that creates the crime, not the suspect!

Entrapment is the act of luring an individual into committing a crime in order to prosecute the person for it. This is what is happening, and has been happening, with all the recent terrorist conspiracies and the FBI sting operations. The FBI has caught no real terrorists, but they are generating a lot of press in order to keep us living in fear.

The Newburgh Four are a perfect example. A documentary is currently playing on cable television about how an informant set up four men who had no intention to kill anyone, and they were convicted and are now spending 25 years in prison simply for being stupid.

Shahid Hussain, a Pakistani immigrant who was an FBI employee as a paid informant, making $57,000 a year, got the four men to say they were going to commit these crimes, paying them $100,000. Hussain presented the men with a fake stinger missile and Hussain offered these poverty-stricken men cars and money in exchange for their promise to carry out the manufactured plot.

What are they guilty of? Stupidity is not a crime. If it were, most politicians would be in prison.

The FBI and its paid informants are manufacturing crimes and creating scenarios. The courts are convicting these people knowing that the crimes were set up by the FBI, and the appellate courts are upholding these convictions. These convicts are in reality political prisoners.

Attorney Steve Dowds, who tracks cases like the Newburgh Four, argues that the US government is systematically employing preemptive prosecution.

“They are taking some down and out vulnerable individuals and not only planting the ideology of jihad on them, giving them all the things they need, all of the material. They are setting up the plan, giving them all the research and then grabbing them and claiming these were homegrown terrorists. It is just a fiction,” said Dowds.

The FBI, while playing our protector, has been so busy taking down innocent individuals that they missed several real terrorist attacks, such as a fatal shooting at a Knoxville church in 2008, the shooting at Fort Hood that killed 13 people and injured 30 in 2009, and the Boston marathon bombing that killed three and injured 264 others in 2013.

What will they miss next?

Why are they missing the real thing? Because the FBI is so busy setting people up that they miss real terrorist attacks.

There were 2,608 total terrorism attacks and 226 fatal attacks in the United States between 1970 and 2011.

All the hype and fanfare is calculated to ensure that we live in fear while plans for a complete police state and 24/7 surveillance of those who are deemed the real enemy—us—are implemented.

Yes, terrorism is real in today’s world, but you don’t stop it by setting up innocent people because they are easy targets or Muslims!
