The FBI is hyping another round of dubious “terror” arrests today, this time capturing three men who are charged with conspiracy to provide material support for terrorism.
That sounds like a big deal, but what it boils down to was FBI informants convincing three people to tell them they’d really like to join ISIS, then booking flights for them to Turkey, then arresting them.
The goal appeared to be to get them to say the least plausible things possible. Abdurasaul Jaroboev, 24, told the FBI of “his willingness to kill President Obama,” if ISIS asked him to. Another, 19-year-old Akhror Saidakhmetov, complained his mother took his passport so he couldn’t go to Syria, but said he’d just go to the store, buy an AK-47, and “shoot all police,” apparently unaware that there aren’t just AK-47 stores.
The third man, Uzbekistan citizen Abror Habibov, apparently offered to help pay for the trip to Turkey, which was apparently enough that the media is now trumpeting him as “terror financier.”
“material support for terrorism”
Surely by terrorism has our Empire overthrown hundreds of democratic governments, killing thousands in the process. Take the fascist coup d’état that Gloria Newland said we funded in Ukraine with $5 billion, part of which paid for the snipers to kill over a hundred protesters and police. Material support for terrorism, surely we wrote the book on it.
One wonders why FBI hasn't arrested Adelson yet
Or the Hilary for talking about nuking Iran, or Obomb-ya for talking about sending predator drones after young men if they didn't please him in their behavior toward his daughters, or… Ah the list goes on.
Stationed in Berlin during the cold war. This is East Berlin kind of stuff, USSRian stuff.
I'm not saying the USSR "won" the cold war, but somebody did, and it wasn't the American people.
…don't forget that we're fast approaching National Material Support for Terrorism Day, April 15th. But you understand you won't get arrested for it until "angels with flaming swords" descend to scourge the US.

Jaroboev sounds like he was either joking, heavily sheltered, or mentally challenged.
"…joking, heavily sheltered, or mentally challenged."
That could be any one of the Congresscritters the American people were gullible enough to have elected.
I guess they'd tend to get included when you're trying to cover all the bases in a 'diagnosis.'
