topsecretresearch Posted May 15, 2013 #1 Share Posted May 15, 2013 A Bridge Too Far The informant, a longtime crook with 13 felony convictions, talked two of the defendants into buying the fake C-4, drove them around, nudged the plan along, hired three of them and — according to several sources close to the men — gave some of them illegal drugs. Meanwhile, he continued to commit crimes of his own. Great article. FBI stings, like one in Cleveland, become more common in terrorism investigations So, did the agency's efforts prevent a heinous crime that could have sent scores of unsuspecting motorists plunging to their deaths, or did they help create a crime that never would have occurred without its help? That woud be the latter. "Presently, the prevailing kind of view in the public is that the war on terror is so important that we're going to condone aggressive government conduct," said Geoffrey Mearns, a former assistant U.S. Attorney who helped prosecute one of the Oklahoma City bombers. The truth is looking at the Cleveland case none of these kids would have done anything that drastic without an FBI informant aiding them on. How FBI Entrapment Is Inventing 'Terrorists' Shame on the USA for going down that slippery slope. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s33ker Posted May 15, 2013 #3 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Is that "Entrapment", and I wonder,if it's "not that bad"I mean, they would also be easy targets for the terrorist recruitment team too,wouldn't they. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topsecretresearch Posted May 15, 2013 Author #4 Share Posted May 15, 2013 It'd be funny if the flunkies in the Cleveland case found out the guy was an FBI informant with a long felony rap sheet and pushed him off the bridge and claimed he fell.

Simbi Laveau Posted May 15, 2013 #5 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Law enforcement has been this way for decades really. This is how the NYPD caught all the old Italian mafiosos . They do drugs,kill people,and have affairs with women ,to make it all seem real,while their wife and kids are home hoping he's still alive . It's a horrid way to live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things definitely changed with 9-11, homeland security and all that stuff. This is definitely a more agressive tactic employed by the Obama admin using the FBI. Of course now there is a political scandal invloving the FBI and the IRS where Obama has to hold a press conference and try to deny any invlovement. No surprise there.

Rafterman Posted May 18, 2013 #9 Share Posted May 18, 2013 I get the entrapment argument to a point, but at the end of the day, these guys still wanted to blow up a bridge and acted on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree. They wanted to blow up the bridge BECAUSE of the FBI informant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafterman Posted May 20, 2013 #11 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Disagree. They wanted to blow up the bridge BECAUSE of the FBI informant. So you're saying that these Occupy guys were just sitting around their tent smoking some cheeb while listening to a DMB bootleg and FBI guy just walks in and says "hey, ever thought of blowing up a bridge?" bull****. These guys had intent. They wanted to do this. The FBI informant just helped them along. As the article says, they were caught planting the bombs. At any time during the process they could have pulled out of the deal, but they didn't. They wanted to kill innocent men, women, and children. Frankly, I'd like to shake the guy's hand that stopped these sick b*******. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a person has actually bought the bomb material on their own and are following through with a plan on their own then that merits action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the article: The five men were arrested last Monday after the FBI said they placed the devices beneath the bridge that connects Brecksville and Sagamore Hills and tried to detonate them with cell phones. They did it - helped or not. I don't know about you, but if some guy started talking to me telling me how I could blow up a bridge and kill a lot of people, there's no way in hell he could "convince" me to do it. Again, these guys had intent. They wanted to do this. It went well beyond a bunch of guys talking **** to each other.

topsecretresearch Posted May 21, 2013 Author #18 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Here are some big red flags: "The informant, a 39-year-old con man, began working for the FBI last July when he was facing an indictment that would result in his 13th felony conviction." That raises a red flag. The FBI informant = probably a drug addict. It becomes pretty obvious when he has to write bad checks even after being recruited. It makes you wonder how much FBI slime is out there. Moving on... The article goes on how anarchist Doug Wright seemed unaware how to create a bomb. "The next day, the informant set the trap for the FBI's sting. He asked Wright if he'd rather buy explosives from someone the informant knew." and "On March 28, the informant was driving Wright and Baxter over I-480's Valley View Bridge..." Note: It was the informants car. Without the informant the idea would have never came. and "On the floor, one agent laid out all the riot gear on Baxter and Wright's wish list: tear gas canisters, Israeli gas masks, smoke grenades and retractable batons, plus some ballistic vests and helmets. Next to the gear, the agent laid photographs of explosives." You can stop there. The Occupy guys were losers. There was no bomb making material and no pan to blow up a bridge before the FBI came along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake1967 Posted May 21, 2013 #19 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I would have to agree with Rafterman. Since the perps had no knowledge that they were under investigation by the FBI..that fact ALONE exhibits an intent to do harm. I mean really..If the intent was to do harm..what difference does it make as to how the harm would be accomplished and through what sources? Good call Rafterman.

You can argue intent with a lot of people especially if you coecre them and give them everything they need to comit a crime. America is just a f*d up country. It has the highest incarceration rate in the world. The National Debt is through the roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
