Fresh off the FBI announcing the arrests of three people in Brooklyn, none of whom appeared to be planning anything until FBI informants convinced them to say they wanted to join ISIS, Director James Comey revealed the FBI is pulling this sort of operation nationwide.
“This isn’t a New York phenomenon or a Washington phenomenon. This is all 50 states and in all ways,” Comey said, saying the targets are “in various stages of radicalizing.”
Comey went on to say that ISIS “slick propaganda” that “resonates with troubled souls, people seeking meaning in some horribly misguided way.” Earlier this month he said investigations were ongoing in every state but Alaska, but now insists it is all 50 states.
The FBI has first-hand knowledge of the allure of ISIS propaganda, because their informants seem to be among the heaviest purveyors of it in the United States, hoping to suck in people they find on social media and then arresting them in the ensuing sting.
Guessing he wasn't asked just what 'slick propaganda' he was referring to. First thought was he's telling the opposite of the truth. Propaganda is pretty slick in the US–at least ito saturation and adaptation.
There was a time when the FBI pretended to be all about the law. Now among all government corruption these guys want to stand out as the most corrupt and abusive of them all. And of the thousands of employees there, no one has anything to say about this change?
Based on past prosecutions of whistleblowers, it's likely they prefer their jobs over conscience.

Indeed…

Interesting to say the least, do not be played like you seem to be!
Apparently my sarcasm missed its mark. My intent was to offer some "slick propaganda" that would entice "troubled souls" to join a military outfit, in this case the National Guard.
Several years ago there was a National Guard billboard near my home that showed a young guy that seemed to be trying to grow a blonde mustache, wearing goofy looking goggles, in military garb with the text: "Part-Time Soldier, Full-Time Hero". It looked more like, "Hey, Loser, join us and be something all will unthinkingly praise". How far is that from what "slick ISIS propaganda" does?
'Slick propaganda that resonates with troubled souls, people seeking meaning in some horribly misguided way'
Oh, I thought he was talking about military recruiters.

It's hard work catching terrorists when you haven't a clue. The "record" looks so much better if you pad the stats in your favor. Otherwise people might start questioning your efficacy – and then the need for your services and they can't have that.
I used no stats! I simply have provided facts from those in the 'Know' which you apparently did not review from these links. Care to be more specific to what is contained in these posted links that you disagree with? That would be reasonable don't you think?
OK – try this:
It's hard work catching terrorists when you (THE FBI) haven't a clue. The "record" looks so much better if you (THE FBI) pad the stats in your (THE FBI) favor. Otherwise people might start questioning your (THE FBI) efficacy – and then the need for your (THE FBI) services and they can't have that.
If you (Mr. Lincoln) expect to get hammered for what you (Mr. Lincoln) say then that is what you (Mr. Lincoln) will see. I don't know you (Mr. Lincoln) so why would I go off on you? I (curmudgeonvt) generally tend to prefer to deal in the abstract rather than personal…but each to his own, I guess.
If you will review the Peter Lance interview above you will find the F.B.I. stages events for the government class, and are behind most attacks staged and facilitated by them alone.
The US has spent a hundred years building cradle-to-adult institutions designed to manufacture uninformed, compliant, non-thinking workers susceptible to propaganda, then acts surprised when they are susceptible to propaganda from Evildoers as well.
Uncle Sam's propaganda can camouflage history and it's own atrocities, but it can't hide the carnage in our own backyards. Empty factories, abandoned homes, overflowing prisons can not be disguised as prosperity and progress.
When everybody has friends and family who've been in prison or killed by the police, will they be able to maintain the facade of Freedom? This is now a very long list and growing by the day.
Just last week the state police killed my neighbor's brother, Ken Kreyssig, inside his own house, in Smyrna Maine. Since he shared the house with his elderly mom, I expect she watched her own son die at the hands of the police. I can not imagine the horror she experienced.
How long will the Fear of Evildoers trump Fear of Police?
Police states don't have happy endings. The US will be no different.
ISIS under the bed, oh my! See, you kids better stop talking about our liberties and the growing police state and fork over billions of tax dollars more. What will you say to the victims of terrorism when an attack happens?
And of course, let's not mention or notice US immigration policy, in league with misguided religious do-gooders, who bring these 'refugees' here by the thousands from the hell-holes our foreign policy created. So much for 'fight 'em over there so we won't have to over here'. Well, the FBI DOES need a steady source of pattsies for their stings, I suppose. We are ruled by psychopaths.
The US and its instruments such as CIA,FBI, and whatever , are acting like the fireman who wants to be hero who goes around igniting fires in many places and then he is always the first one on the scene saving the day in such a heroic fashion.
Smoke screen law enforcement — Jail the innocent to protect the criminals
The root cause of terrorism is our rich ruling class, the highest achievers in society who hoard
three-fourths of all our wealth. For the scumbags supply 90% of political donations and make sure that war-hawk politicians keep our wars of aggression and plunder well funded.
So, what is the FBI doing going after laboring men, the lowest achievers in society? Well, the FBI are the slave drivers of society, laboring men are the only slaves in society and this is what Empire USA is all about.

Gotta keep making those boogeyman consisting of people whose countries we've already bombed or sanctioned…AND draw out real or imagined idiots from Der Homeland to keep the population sufficiently irrational and fear based.
When do the concentration camps , oops safety zones for potential American terrorists ?
Based on religion of course. Never again, yeah!
