If the Federal Bureau of Investigation is good at anything (questionable, if you ask me), they seem to be remarkably effective at recruiting and creating their own terrorists.
THE FBI GROOMED A 16-YEAR-OLD WITH "BRAIN DEVELOPMENT ISSUES" TO BECOME A TERRORIST
LAST WEEK, the Department of Justice announced the arrest of a teenager in Massachusetts on allegations of providing financial support to the Islamic State group.
A flurry of reports picked up on the arrest of Mateo Ventura, an 18-year-old resident of the sleepy town of Wakefield, echoing government claims that an international terrorist financier and ISIS supporter had just been busted in the United States.
The only problem with the case and how it has been described, however, is that according to the government's own criminal complaint, Ventura had never actually funded any terrorist group. The only "terrorist" he is accused of ever being in contact with was an undercover FBI agent who befriended him online as a 16-year-old, solicited small cash donations in the form of gift cards, and directed him not to tell anyone else about their intimate online relationship, including his family. (bold added by me)
This is ridiculous.
The FBI creates their own terrorists, then brags about their 'big busts'?
This is your tax dollars at work. 1) Agents troll online for teens with 'mental issues.' 2) Groom said child and convince them to do something stupid. 3) Bust 'em and congratulate themselves (for nothing).
Sad, really.
And a danger to free people.
Abolish the FBI!
