ORIGINAL: Real0ne Hmm.... we have moved from a legal system of innocent till proven guilty to convinction on suspicion. They say the FBI has shifted its approach toward arrests rather than keeping suspects under surveillance, and is also targeting individuals thought to be planning attacks in the U.S., PRE CRIME-THOUGHT POLICE-Tom Cruise You lost me. The FBI is arresting people suspected of planning & plotting terrorist acts. There are actions involved in planning, plotting, conspiring, and preparing such attacks. Not just thoughts. Otherwise, I'd be Force-choking the shit outta people regularly. I assume you read the article so Im not sure where the confusion is? Since the thwarted attack on a "Draw Muhammad" conference in Garland, Texas, on May 3, the Justice Department has announced the arrests of 10 individuals it says were inspired by and supporting the Islamic State. In almost all of the FBI's recent terrorism arrests, the suspects are charged with providing material support for a terrorist group, a catch-all charge that can mean ANYTHING<<--my Emphasis providing travel documents and cash to would-be terrorists or trying to recruit new adherents. Despite the increase in arrests and the government's more aggressive actions to quash online incitement at earlier stages, many in Washington believe that the threat from the Islamic State is only growing and that there's just no way America's law enforcement and intelligence agencies can keep pace. its easy in court when they can pick people off, violating their rights one by one. Here I will give you an example of UNCHECKED domestic terrorism. FBI terrorists among us: 1993 WTC Bombing The mind-boggling role of the Bureau by Jon Rappoport July 29, 2014 www.nomorefakenews.com There seems to be a rule: if a terror attack takes place and the FBI investigates it, things are never what they seem. Federal attorney Andrew C McCarthy prosecuted the 1993 World Trade Center Bombing case. A review of his book, Willful Blindness, states: “For the first time, McCarthy intimately reveals the real story behind the FBI’s inability to stop the first World Trade Center bombing even though the bureau had an undercover informant in the operation — the jihadists’ supposed bombmaker. “In the first sentence of his hard-hitting account, the author sums up the lawyerly — but staggeringly incomprehensive — reason why the FBI pulled its informant out of the terrorist group even as plans were coming to a head on a major attack: “’Think of the liability!’ “The first rule for government attorneys in counterintelligence in the 1990s was, McCarthy tells us, ‘Avoid accountable failure.’ Thus, when the situation demanded action, the feds copped a CYA posture, the first refuge of the bureaucrat.” That’s a titanic accusation, coming from a former federal prosecutor. Yes, the FBI had an informant inside the group that was planning the 1993 WTC bombing that eventually, on February 26, killed 6 people and injured 1042. His name is Emad Salem, a former Egyptian Army officer. Present whereabouts unknown. Yanking Salem out of the group planning the Bombing was a devastating criminal act on the part of the FBI. But there is more to the story. On October 28, 1993, Ralph Blumenthal wrote a piece about Emad Salem for the New York Times: “Tapes Depict Proposal to Thwart Bomb Used in Trade Center Blast.” It began: “Law-enforcement officials were told that terrorists were building a bomb that was eventually used to blow up the World Trade Center, and they planned to thwart the plotters by secretly substituting harmless powder for the explosives, an informer [Emad Salem] said after the blast.” Continuing: “The informer was to have helped the plotters build the bomb and supply the fake powder, but the plan was called off by an F.B.I. supervisor who had other ideas about how the informer, Emad A. Salem, should be used, the informer [Emad] said.” The FBI called the “plan” off, but left the planners to their own devices. No “harmless powder.” Instead, real explosives. The Times article goes on: “The account, which is given in the transcript of hundreds of hours of tape recordings Mr. Salem secretly made [taped recordings] of his talks with law-enforcement agents, portrays the authorities as in a far better position than previously known to foil the Feb. 26 bombing of New York City’s tallest towers.” This is a shockingly strong opening for an article in the NY Times. It focuses on the testimony of the informant; it seems to take his side. Several years after reporter Blumenthal wrote the above piece, I spoke with him and expressed my amazement at the revelations about the FBI—and wondered whether the Times had continued to investigate the scandal. Blumenthal wasn’t pleased, to say the least. He said I misunderstood the article. I mentioned the fact that Emad Salem wasn’t called as a prosecution witness in the 1993 WTC Bombing trial. Of course, why would the Dept. of Justice bring Salem to the stand? Would they want him to blame the FBI for letting/abetting the Bombing? Again, Blumenthal told me I “didn’t understand.” He became angry and that was the end of the conversation. I remember thinking: Is there anything under the sun the FBI can be held accountable for…because letting the bomb plot go forward…what else do you need for a criminal prosecution of the Bureau? https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2014/07/29/fbi-terrorists-among-us-the-1993-wtc-bombing/ The author was being kind, since so called law-enforcement officials actually assisted as in aided and abetted in the both the plot and supplied materials. Salem expected they would put in fake powder but they supplied real powder instead. Its perfectly clear that the greatest domestic terror threat is the government and their agencies. Forgot this NBC news report with Dan Rather reporting what I just said: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwC0pHIIMMI and 1993 World Trade Center An FBI Setup - Ted Gunderson Anthony J Hilder https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_H_niMrjAI That said I agree that we do have a domestic terrorist problem. So what do you find confusing?
