FBI ‘Sting’ Nets Baltimore Area Terror Wannabe
US Stops US-Provided Fake Explosives From Hitting US Target
The evidence against the detainee, Antonio Martinez, centers primarily around anti-US posts made on Facebook and testimony alleging that he “watched Osama bin Laden videos” on a computer in the public library.
But Martinez’ nefarious life of video watching and Facebook trolling hit an abrupt turn when he was approached by an FBI informant on Facebook, who introduced him to an undercover agent pretending to be a terrorist.
At this point the fake terror plot got really pretend dangerous, as the undercover agent provided him with fake explosions with which to pretend to attack the recruitment center, causing a loud bang which locals described as “scary.”
The White House said President Obama was informed ahead of time of the “plot” and that it proved the need to “remain vigilant against terrorism here and abroad.”

Well I feel ever so much safer now, knowing that the argus-eyed terror-stoppers of the FBI are watching over all of us.

Alpha and Omega- they create heinous plots and then risk it all to foil them. What brave souls we have in the FBI. I'm sure their mothers are proud of them.

Good grief almighty! Again? Are we to be bludgeoned endlessly with these false flag operations?

Oops! Another patsie bites the dust. If the FBI ever runs out of these suckers, they'll be out of business.

Start with a person with a room temperature IQ.
Approach said person with a plan that fits your agenda.
Help the subject to implement the plan.
Arrest the poor moron for agreeing with your plan.
Get reward. Pass GO. Collect two hundred dollars.
We are in deep trouble.

Now, give the brave lads in the FBI some credit- at least they know that it's much easier to deal with fake explosives than it is to deal with the real thing. Heaven forbid they run across some REAL terrorists who will pretty chew them up and spit them out. I wonder who will take credit for the sting team then, after it gets its own collective ass handed to them on a plate by The Terrorists ™.
