As stories continue to surface of its
agents lying under oath, enjoying legalized cover-ups and even creating
false terrorism, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is rapidly losing its 104-year-old luster of “fidelity, bravery and integrity.”
In the midst of two of the most recent
agent-fueled false terror plots, an FBI memo appeared showing that,
among other things, the federal law enforcement agency has the ability
and leeway to “bend or suspend the law and impinge upon the freedom of
others,” as well as “create ethical dilemmas for others when we ask that
they provide information on someone” that they normally would not be
willing to do.
Earlier this year, the FBI had one of
its agents pretend to be a member of al Qaeda and furnish Amine El
Khalifi, 29, a mentally-addled former drug addict, with a phony suicide
vest. He then instructed the would-be bomber to attack Capitol Hill.
After receiving the FBI-created non-explosive vest, the Moroccan was
dropped off by his FBI informant on Constitution Avenue and was arrested
shortly thereafter allegedly only blocks from the Capitol building. He
apparently was the only one not on the FBI’s payroll in the sordid
scheme.
The FBI boasted at the time that congressmen were never in danger and assured them that it was “all very controlled.”
AMERICAN FREE PRESS has reported many
times on the FBI’s standard operating procedure when it comes to
domestic terror cases. Agents approach someone, often after an offhand
comment made on the Internet, supply fake explosives to carry out some
mythical mission and then arrest the “terrorists” after alerting the
cooperative news media to be on the scene.
With such contrived operations of
tricking individuals to commit terrorism, the FBI has so far been able
to mislead the public into believing that it has developed certain
methods to prevent future terrorist attacks.
Such was the case in Cleveland in early
May when agents arrested five young men just before they could blow up a
bridge. This backfired, though, when it turned out that the men were
all duped into the scheme by yet another well-paid FBI informant. Note,
many FBI informants are criminals.
Then there were the plots to shoot
missiles at military aircraft developed by men in Newburgh, N.Y. and the
wild scheme in Massachusetts to fly explosives via model airplanes into
the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol Building. These turned out to be
concocted and supplied by undercover agents preying on naïve victims
rather than terrorists.
Informants have been reported to receive
$200K from the FBI for setting up terror cases. In other instances,
they have had their own criminal records cleared and avoided deportation
in exchange for participation in these shams.
This behavior is nothing new. Two
decades ago, the late Hoppy Heidelberg saw it from inside the grand jury
room in Oklahoma City.
It was at that time that famed criminal
defense lawyer Gerry Spence wrote: “I found the minions of the law—the
special agents of the FBI—to be men who proved themselves not only fully
capable, but also utterly willing to manufacture evidence, to conceal
crucial evidence and even to change the rules that governed life and
death if, in the prosecution of the accused, it seemed expedient to do
so.”
