The FBI Is Out of Control, The Light of Truth Will Destroy This Darkness

I used to respect the FBI. When I worked at the State Department’s Office of Counter Terrorism, I was one of two officers who handled liaison with the FBI on its investigation of the 1988 terrorist bombing of Pan Am 103. My supervisor and I sent out the cables to our Embassies requesting permission for FBI Agents to go to those countries to collect evidence and pursue leads. Ambassador Morris Busby, who headed up the Office of the Coordinator for Counter Terrorism (it is now known as the Bureau for Counter Terrorism) in 1990 put me in charge of advertising the Terrorism Rewards Program and I developed the public service ads, with the help of Diplomatic Security, that launched “Are You the Next Hero?”

In the process of developing these ads I coordinated closely with the FBI, including the Deputy Director of the FBI. The advertising campaign, which launched in August 1990, played an important role in leading to the capture of the terrorist who planned and executed the bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993 (Diplomatic Security officers Brad Smith and Mike Parks provided critical assistance in implementing this program).

I participated in the training of the Foreign Emergency Support Team (aka FEST), which put me in regular contact with the FBI members of that team. The men and women I worked with were apolitical patriots. That was then.

Today’s FBI is a nightmare. They have turned the FBI into a political force akin to the East German Stasi and the Nazi’s Gestapo. Instead of protecting American citizens they are spying on patriots and launching groundless cases, such as the bullshit charges brought against DEA Agent Mark Ibrahim:

    Larry,

    This DEA agent has to be charged to distract attention away from the agent and ‘swinger’ who framed the rubes charged with the ‘kidnapping’ attempt on Governor Whitmer of Michigan: “An FBI agent at the center of the plot to kidnap and kill Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is accused of jumping on his wife in bed and smashing her head against a nightstand after a dispute stemming from a swingers’ party, according to court records.” as well as “The man who’d advised them on where to put the explosives — and offered to get them as much as the task would require — was an undercover FBI agent.” (Buzzfeed news).

    Speaking of FBI misconduct needing a giant distraction there is the rapist defending FBI agent who let the USA Gymnastics doctor get away with crimes for years.

    FBI has been fully captured by crony capitalists. It can only get worse before it gets better. If this agency does get dismantled at some point something like it must be banned from every being created again. Go back to the modular system where nobody has all the power. An agency made up of agents from many states with no allegiance to any one block of power. Someone is always looking over their back at every level on a personal level. What we have now is devouring the country.

  3. Deap says:

    Democrats want to wag the dog against these FBI charges, so they are re-opening the Brett Kavanaugh case – demand to pursue all “sexual harassment tips and leads not fully investigated – lurid and hateful.

    Plus demand to know which ones were shared with Trump. TDS deja vu all over again – Democrats are nervous about something – next Wednesday’s AZ Audit report?

    People are turned off about covid-covid-covid and Democrat’s pure hatred of anything Trump or anyone around Trump. Roe v Wade threats must be scaring them too. Caged and angry with no leadership, demon rats now devouring their own

    Locally, the Planned Parenthood Democrats are at war with the Mandatory Vaccination Democrats. “My body my choice” Democrats versus “your body our choice” Democrat fault lines.

    • AK says:

      Deap,

      In my experience the Planned Parenthood Democrats and the Mandatory Vaxx Democrats are one and the same. The cognitive dissonance is something these people learned to live with a long time ago. All of their ideas and beliefs depend on it.

    Every case you read of in the past 10 years of the FBI thwarting an imminent terrorist attack/governor kidnapping/mass shooting/right wing military massacre:inevitably pretty much every single case bears the hallmarks of massive FBI entrapment at every stage of the plot. Had two of these millenial spooks show up to my door in ‘19 asking me why I was watching Taliban/hezbollah/ISIS/AQ propaganda online. I’ve been doing that since the 00s, the greater subject is a hobby of mine. I’m sure if I had a Facebook or Twitter they would have tried contacting me long ago posing as emirs of wilayat USA with free tickets to Afghanistan or whatever it is they have been doing since ‘14 to entrap the close to one thousand innocent sub- 100 IQ Americans with fake terror charges. I’m certain all those fake charges has done much in padding their budgets and growing their tendrils that now creep into all aspects of American life, no one is safe. By the end of our “conversation” they got the idea of what I was and left me alone, gave me their cards and asked me to contact them if I ever knew anything that could help them

      In the post 9/11 world the defense side of several national security cases engaged me as a consultant and expert witness. At the same time the federal courts themselves employed me on other cases in the same capacity. The US government asked me to accept a restoration of my information security clearances and accesses so that I could be of service to the national war effort in various ways. I was given access in the “discovery” process to what the FBI and DoJ had done in these cases in which I was acting for the defense. In these cases it was clear that the FBI (with the concurrence of DoJ) had systematically entrapped the defendants using native speakers of Arabic and enticed them to participate in attacks on civilian targets. The FBI arrested the defendants once they committed to the attack. I asked to be de-briefed from all access in 2015 convinced that there was nothing useful in further participation.

      Ah the good ol’ Patriot Act. This is a timely reminder that the feds do not even need a warrant to view your browsing history – thanks to a single Senate vote back in May last year. Thankfully there are ways to keep it private. I use Tor which is a PITA sometimes, but does at least hide your browsing habits – even from your ISP.

      • Serge says:

        Barbara Ann,

        The first thing they asked me was whether I used Tor. I didn’t, and don’t, because(and I hate to say it) I have nothing to hide in this matter, and I can’t tolerate the slowness of it.

        • Pat Lang says:

          Serge

          The first thing who asked you?

          • Serge says:

            Colonel,

            The spooks. They asked me about my tor/VPN use then moved on to to the main subject. I do use a VPN for work which is where I think the line of questioning originated from.

          • Serge says:

            Colonel,
            No RCMP, they never gave me any static, I’m only here on vacation visiting family. This happened in the US where I live, it was the FBI based out of their local headquarters.

  7. JerseyJeffersonian says:

    Good on ya, Col. Lang.

    The FBI seem to have skipped over alpha or beta testing, and gone right to full bore implementation of their Secret Police powers. Why bother when they knew that: a) they would have bi-partisan political cover regardless of their illegalities; b) there would be little to no scrutiny from the MSM, as they were hard-wired into the deep state.

    What little serious investigation arising from independent journalism could be muted by the agreed upon “cone of silence”. Those troublesome enough to present an issue, such as Julian Assange, would be dealt with through frame-ups, and the raw application of state violence, “legal” and otherwise.

  8. akaPatience says:

    I seem to recall FBI investigation of (or involvement in???) “skinhead” activity in Oregon and the Pacific NW in general around 20 or so years ago during the Clinton administration. I wonder if the bureau used the same MO to recruit and entrap people back then as they have more recently? It makes me wonder if they’re also involved in recruiting and inciting Antifa and BLM? After all, unless the MSM is covering up for those leftist groups, we don’t hear much about prosecutions among that particular ilk. Could it be that the FBI is involved to the [great] extent that’s been revealed in the so-called kidnapping plot of the MI governor? And to carry it even farther, I wonder if these groups of thugs, who threatened chaos if Trump won, are militants purposefully gathered by a well-known former “community organizer” to act as enforcers??? The idea may seem farfetched but could “Organizing For America” have evolved into Antifa/BLM, with help from a corrupted FBI?

      My impression was that they were not doing somethin novel for them.

    • Deap says:

      We had a weird set-up for Organizing for America during the first Obama campaign in our town. A given that California would go for Obama, a given our county would go for Obama. They did not have to lift a finger.

      The local Democrat party had a large headquarters in support of all Democrat parties. But instead OFA came in, rented a huge now empty bank building and installed massive numbers of their own staff and phones …just to support Obama?

      What more was there to support – what was their real agenda? Where they the network left behind Obama would rely on for his own intended and personal agenda? It was a huge campaign expense, a redundant campaign expense so there must have been some other agenda.

      The one thing I noted is the parking lot for this “Organizing for America” was full of foreign make cars – not a single Detroit brand in the entire large parking lot.

      Fast forward to 2020 – I am still trying to figure out why the national Democrat Party legal and lobbying arm – (Something), Farber, Shreck and (something) has such a large foot print in this back water central coastal California town too. Keeping their eye on Prince Harry and Oprah?

      Nope, Democrats stopped being the party of blue collar Joe the Plumber, working class Democrats a long time ago. They now run deep, quiet and sinister.

    The FBI is only living up to its name. It was probably unconstitutional in the first place, but courts are reluctant to rein in authority by pointing out such basic truisms when it limits the power of the permanent regime. If you translate from the German, Gestapo means Geheime Staats Polizei, Secret State Police. Stasi means Staats Sicherheit: State Security. Instead of using the first letters for abbreviations, Germans use the first syllable of the words to designate the organization. Being an extra-legal secret police describes the FBI to a “t” and their methods of staging provocations and manufacturing crime committed by those stupid enough to follow the snitches, criminals groomed by the FBI as judases, they are a tried and true Stasi and Gestapo, as does their unequal treatment of real opposition versus controlled opposition like the fascist “Antifa” and the racist divide and conquer organization “Black Lives Matter”, which can be translated as “some pigs are more equal than others.”.
