Let's not forget the 9/11 hijackers lived with a FBI informant and with the 93 WTC bombing the FBI was going to have their informant build the bomb with fake material, but that got screwed up, additional source. Here is the transcript from the informants secret recordings with his FBI handler:

>FBI Special Agent John Anticev: But, uh, basically nothing has changed. I'm just telling you for my own sake that nothing, that this isn't a salary, that it's—you know. But you got paid regularly for good information. I mean the expenses were a little bit out of the ordinary and it was really questioned. Don't tell Nancy I told you this. [Nancy Floyd is another FBI Special Agent who worked with Emad A. Salem in his informant capacity.]

>FBI undercover agent Emad A. Salem: Well, I have to tell her of course.

>Anticev: Well then, if you have to, you have to.

>Salem: Yeah, I mean because the lady was being honest and I was being honest and everything was submitted with a receipt and now it's questionable.

>Anticev: It's not questionable, it's like a little out of the ordinary.

>Salem: Okay. Alright. I don't think it was. If that's what you think guys, fine, but I don't think that because we was start already building the bomb which is went off in the World Trade Center. It was built by supervising supervision from the Bureau and the D.A. and we was all informed about it and we know that the bomb start to be built. By who? By your confidential informant. What a wonderful, great case!

Republicans have historically taken the same stance on anarchists, communists, and "Islamic terrorists," sorry to say. Guilty until proven innocent.

I think it's important to recognize our own biases. The modern "left" has failed miserably on the issue of due process rights for men accused of sexual crimes; the right has failed miserably on due process rights for men accused of "terrorism," even though many "terrorist plots" are essentially engineered by the FBI and various intelligence agencies. This is a respectable study on the matter:

Turning Men's Rights into a strictly partisan affair and using it as a means of bolstering political parties is a sure way to divide and conquer the movement. I say that as someone who loathes Democrats and Republicans in equal measure.


u/AndTheEgyptianSmiled · 16 pointsr/islam

The FBI conducts more terrorist plots in US than any other organization. There's a book dedicated to FBI's records of radicalizing or bribing poor and unstable citizens to commit terror (see Trevor Aaronson’s The Terror Factory).

At one point the FBI was even boasted about it when an agent admitted that a certain would-be terrorist was “a retarded fool who didn’t have a pot to piss in".

The New York Times and the Guardian have all reported on this repeatedly.

u/The_Paul_Alves · 7 pointsr/todayilearned

I highly recommend this book for those who want to learn about all those "terrorists" the FBI has arrested lately: http://www.amazon.ca/The-Terror-Factory-Manufactured-Terrorism/dp/1935439618

Step 1: Convince impresionable person to become a terrorist.

Step 2: Give them the training, motivate them to commit the crime and give them a FAKE device to activate.

Step 3: Convince courts to charge people who detonate fake devices with the same crimes as if they had detonated real devices

Step 4: Charge the people you groomed, trained, convinced to destroy America, who you GAVE the "devices" to, who you told where and when to go with the device and who pressed the button YOU told them to with crimes.

Step 5: Security!

Amazing book, worth the read if you are at all interested. Well cited, not an Alex Jones type book.

This is silly. Did you wake up this morning and decide to take up geopolitics as a pastime?

Most of the readers here are too far into this to waste time giving history lessons.

If you want to brush up on the subject here are a few books to start with:

Read these books and then do your own research and look into the claims for yourself. Most of his claims are common knowledge, and have been widely reported with frequency over the past decade. They are easily researchable with rudimentary search engine skills.

Your burden of proof logic games are misguided and add nothing to such a prima facia discussion

u/Lostboulevard · 5 pointsr/MensRights

Do they really though? I mean, at least on a subconscious level women must realize that rape culture is complete bullshit, otherwise they wouldn't go near universities. And they certainly wouldn't be comfortable getting shitfaced and going to sleazy clubs and bars. Fantasies of being raped (by some chiseled billionaire) are not the same thing as desiring to be raped, as you obviously know.

While your ideas are certainly interesting (as they come from a female perspective), I think a more mundane explanation is that feminists are running out of things to complain about, so they have to invent new crises. It's sort of like when the FBI or CIA manufacture then miraculously foil terrorist attacks by using agent provocateurs, entrapping mentally ill and borderline retarded Muslim youth in order to justify their bloated budgets.

I do think this point is correct though:

>The idea that a man wants you so much that he's willing to break the law and risk his future just to have you can be stupidly galvanizing.

Not to be unkind but a lot of feminists and women who attend "slut walks" are not very attractive. And as HL Mencken recognized a hundred years ago:

“The woman who is not pursued sets up the doctrine that pursuit is offensive to her sex, and wants to make it a felony. No genuinely attractive woman has any such desire. She likes masculine admiration, however violently expressed, and is quite able to take care of herself. More, she is well aware that very few men are bold enough to offer it without a plain invitation, and this awareness makes her extremely cynical of all women who complain of being harassed, beset, storied, and seduced. All the more intelligent women that I know, indeed, are unanimously of the opinion that no girl in her right senses has ever been actually seduced since the world began;”

It's all a fabricated shame. This book does an excellent job of explaining what's going on beyond the kneejerk headline:

u/RaikerCat · 2 pointsr/worldnews

And the agencies that are charged with this job also can't so shit either. The FBI "stops" terrorism because they manufacture it by giving stupid people bomb making material.

Did you know that the FBI employs 15,000+ informants working on terrorism cases?

http://www.npr.org/2011/08/21/139836377/the-surge-in-fbi-informants

Did you know that the reward for an informant successfully recruiting someone to commit a terrorist act runs up to $100,000?

http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/blog/a-former-fbi-agent-talks-about-handling-informants/

Some relevant parts that scare me:

"agents have helped people suspected of being extremists acquire weapons, scope out bombing targets and find the best routes to Syria to join the Islamic State, records show." - from the NYTimes article.

Did any informants approach Omar while he was being investigated by the FBI? We know at least one did, according to the nytimes here: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/14/us/omar-mateen-fbi.html

If so, did they help him pick a target, and his wife is now being blamed for helping him scope out the club? Do you think there is an informant who would try to persuade someone to commit a terrorist act for up to $100,000 but then fuck it up and accidentally set off the loose cannon that was Omar and then never tell the FBI about it?

u/Alien_Evidence_Tech · 2 pointsr/UFOs

A lot of it, yes.

It's not much different than today. The same as the "terrorist" threat. Two good books on the subject are Satanic Purses and Ghost Plane: the CIA rendition program

Before 9/11 the Blind Sheik was operating throughout America, while his disciple Ali Mohamed was kicked out of Egypt, (Egypt warned the Americans) and he came to work for the FBI & the CIA.

You could ask John O'Neil about it but he died, after he was offered a job in the Twin Towers (subsequently dying on 9/11). He had tracked Bin Laden & Al Queda better than anyone, but was ordered off it by the CIA.

He then tracked USS Cole operatives back to Yemen, linking Mossad to people they didn't want to be linked to. Ambassador Bodine tried to repeatedly shut him down and there was a Mossad plot to kill him.

Forced out of the counter terror chief of NY for FBI, he left behind his 30 year career under pressures, lured out with the head of security position at the WTC building. And he died there. 2 weeks after taking up the position.

What has the "fight" on "terror" done for most everyone? They've done a great job manufacturing events. and the majority of actual events are not even Muslim extremists. So in the end, the gov gets total control over the people, strips rights, increases power and divides the populace.

If you read those books I mentioned, and look over John O'Neil's story, you'd realize security services have a bead on everyone. Hell, in a German mosque, the operatives realized they were spying on friendly country agents, because they were so full of spooks.

Not unlike the 'Cold War', where they had taps on every communist support group, but used the 'threat' as a means to subvert civil rights, follow around, tap the phones of MLK, attack & spy on citizens and use the story outwardly for worldwide support and chess plays.

It's a game, a big stage play that creates good guys and bad guys, but the winners stay the same and the losers are always those who don't wanna play, or haven't signed up to.

>Unsurprisingly, the study confirms the role of the military industrial complex in perpetuating the decades-long state of panic. The text shows how "the defense industrial complex, not the Soviet high command, played a key role in driving the quantitative arms buildup" and thereby "led U.S. analysts to … exaggerate the aggressive intentions of the Soviets."

Interesting interview this morning on the CBC with the author of this book: The Terror Factory: Inside the FBI's Manufactured War on Terrorism Looks like what we have here is a "text book" case of entrapment - the authorities apprehending a "crime" that wouldn't have taken place if they hadn't got involved and egged it along in the first place.

Book description:

A groundbreaking work of investigative journalism, The Terror Factory: Inside the FBI's Manufactured War on Terrorism exposes how the FBI has, under the guise of engaging in counterterrorism since 9/11, built a network of more than 15,000 informants whose primary purpose is to infiltrate Muslim communities to create and facilitate phony terrorist plots so that the Bureau can then claim it is winning the war on terror.

An outgrowth of Trevor Aaronson's work as an investigative reporting fellow at the University of California, Berkeley, which culminated in an award-winning cover story in Mother Jones magazine, The Terror Factory reveals shocking information about the criminals, con men, and liars the FBI uses as paid informants--including the story of an accused murderer who has become one of the Bureau's most prolific terrorism snitches--as well as documenting the extreme methods the FBI uses to ensnare Muslims in terrorist plots, which are in reality conceived and financed by the FBI.

The book also offers unprecedented detail into how the FBI has transformed from a reactive law enforcement agency to a proactive counterterrorism organization that traps hapless individuals in manufactured terrorist plots in order to justify the $3 billion it spends every year fighting terrorism.
