is the FBI a terrorist organization?
Of the many criticisms levied about the recent so-called sting operation there is one I have not heard: It could have backfired.

Recruiting people to commit terrorist acts promotes terrorism. It is not a "sting" nor infiltration of a pre-existing terrorist cell - it is CREATION of a terrorist cell, albeit an incompetent one. By recruiting these bozos the FBI could have started something and lost control of it. They could have found an alternative source of weapons/explosives (McVeigh did) and proceeded without the informant. Had that happened, the entire FBI would be documentably a domestic terrorist organization. Come to think of it, by law, they are anyway, whether it backfires or not.

2. Ask John Dillinger.


The way Hoover ran the FBI, you have to wonder. And you can't help but notice he established the system and it hasn't been necessarily overhauled.

3. Fear of terrorists?
A high majority of citizens...if they were honest....would have to admit to being more afraid of our "police forces" in day to day life than some vague group of terrorists. You would have to "filter out" the influence of the perpetual MSM propaganda as far as what to be afraid of first though...to get an honest answer.

FEAR of TERRORISTS means more police power....and cops like power. The elites who own the cops (and almost everything else) like power. So...WHAT'S NOT TO LIKE? :eyes:
