SET’EM UP, KNOCK’EM DOWN

The FBI seems to have hit upon a winning strategy to keep the war on terror alive and well-funded. Given the paucity of real terror attacks, the FBI has developed its own cottage industry – creating terror plots, than adeptly foiling them. Presto! The FBI can point to the plots as evidence of a continuing terror threat, and it can tout their success at nabbing the bad guys before anyone gets hurt. Win Win. It works equally well against ‘self-described’ anarchists (is there any other kind?) and hapless young Muslim men. The plots unfold in the same pattern, time and time again. It behooves activists mobilizing for the Republican and Democratic National conventions to learn the pattern and devise strategies to protect each other from falling into the FBI trap, just as it behooves the Muslim community to review the scenario which has played out over and over in mosques across the country.
It's only a winning strategy if we keep falling for it!
Educate yourself and others. DDF has a copy of Better This World, a riveting documentary about Bradley Crowder, David McKay and the FBI informer who pushed them to consider violence. Please contact us (202-529-4225) about borrowing the DVD to screen for your group or community.
Anatomy of an FBI Terror Plot
Step 1: Target a community based on their religious or political beliefs: mosques, Occupy groups, animal rights, environmental and peace groups. It’s unclear if the FBI is infiltrating anti-abortion, neo-Nazi or sovereign groups, but recently exposed right-wing plots have not involved FBI informers or undercover agents.
Step 2: Find the right informer. Informer should be in some legal trouble of their own. (FBI guidelines were recently revised to allow the FBI to search through the garbage of people who are not suspected of any crime, for the purpose of allowing the FBI to find information it can use to coerce people into becoming informers.)
Step 3: Find the members on the fringe, the ones spouting the most extreme rhetoric, generally ignored by the rest of the community. These will usually be young men with troubled lives, often with psychological problems, often lonely and without steady employment.
Step 4: Befriend these losers and wannabees. Offer them a job, a meal or drugs, anything to encourage their dependency and strengthen the relationship.
Step 5: Talk politics or jihad. Belittle them for being unwilling to move from talk to action. Suggest some very excellent plots; these plots always involve explosives, not guns.
Step 6: Facilitate every necessary action: from planning to financing to procuring the needed materials. The young men will likely need rides, help with building the device, understanding how the explosives will work.
Step 7: Record most, but not all conversations. Recordings of targets talking about violence will add credibility to assertions that there were un-recorded discussions in which the targets expressed a willingness to move from talk to action, callous disregard for human life, or anything needed to make the case.
Step 8: Make sure the targets have everything they need to implement the plan. If the targets are unable to procure necessary items, or unable to assemble an explosive device, do it for them.
Step 9: Foil the Plot! FBI agents will sweep in to save the day. Even if the targets never throw a Molotov cocktail, plant a pipe bomb or otherwise complete the plan, they will be charged with terrorism, and they will be found guilty. They always are.
Step 9a: In the case of “self-proclaimed anarchists,” the arrest should be made just days before a major protest.
A short list of recent cases that followed this pattern:
Hemant Lakhani – sentenced to 47 years in prison in 2005 for smuggling a missile into the U.S. in a plot, developed and facilitated by the FBI.
Eric McDavid – environmental activist arrested in 2006 and serving 20 year sentence for planning to sabotage federal facilities in plot developed by FBI.
Liberty City Seven –accused of plotting to blow up the Sears tower in 2006, after two mistrials, five of the men were convicted, despite lack of physical evidence and the defendants complete inability to pull off such a plot without the leadership of two FBI informants.
Mohamed Osman Mohamud – a Somali-American college dropout awaiting trial for the 2010 plot to detonate a bomb at a Christmas tree lighting in Portland, Oregon. Plot suggested & facilitated by FBI
Bradley Crowder and David McKay –jailed for making Molotov cocktails at the 2008 Republican convention. Their story is told in Better This World.
Cleveland 5 – arrested for participation in FBI-led plot to blow up a bridge on May Day 2012
NATO 3 –charged with material support of terrorism and conspiring to commit terrorist acts before the NATO protests in Chicago, May 2012

Targeted Crimes

I've been a known activist in the Seattle area and I've been targeted for and plagued by burglaries.I believe CRIMINALS are MASQUERADING as LAW ENFORCEMENT, and connected to the F.C. Sheriff Office & Homeland Security, & involved Illegal Entries, Surveillance, Searches, Vandalism, & Burglaries in my Ferry County residence, my Tukwila storage unit & other Washington locations.
They arrogantly flaunt their ability to be “Untouchable,” the criminals have left souvenirs, & objects of unknown origins, including cassette tapes left on top of a video tape labeled “Unlawful Entry.” Illegal Entries & Burglaries have been occurring since 2011 at Malo -- even AFTER the installation of HIGH SECURITY DEADBOLTS costing over $400, & even when the house was left, for brief time periods.
Some items from the earlier burglaries have been returned & hidden in the house, some used & damaged, on the subsequent entries & burglaries.
Backdoor computer access codes ( possibly law enforcement, fire department or FEMA entry codes )have been used at my storage unit near the Homeland Security Building Complex in Tukwila to deactivate alarms and enter my storage unit. Stolen property from my home has been put into my storage unit, as well as property stolen out of it..
The burglaries are ongoing and I cannot stop them.
The local police recently arrested me because I was carrying a gun on the private property I live on and someone parking on it felt threatened.
I need an investigator, I followed one of the people I believe is involved in the burglaries to a meeting location where other people were at and some of the vehicles of people there I recognize from have been involved in stalking and surveillance activities around me previously.
My requests and appeals for getting my FBI files has been repeatedly denied.
Not only are people being targeted for surveillance operations, but now the information being gathered is used to target the people for crimes in
Washington State.
