The farcical jihadist career of Kansas resident John Booker Jr. came to an equally preposterous end today, when the FBI agents he’d been working alongside announced they’d arrested him for a plot “in support of ISIS.”
Or at least what he thought was a plot in support of what he thought was ISIS. Booker and two undercover FBI agents went to Fort Riley with a fake bomb the FBI had manufactured for the occasion, and Booker is charged with wanting to detonate it, which could lead to life in prison.
The plot, such as it is, got started when Booker posted on Facebook last year that he was “getting ready to be killed in jihad,” adding, in a suggestion he doesn’t get what jihad is, that he is “eager to meet my lord.”
The FBI confronted Booker on the post, and he conceded that he’d tried, unsuccessfully, to join the Army the previous month, and only tried to join so he could “commit an insider attack against American soldiers.”
That apparently wasn’t the right nonsense plot from the FBI’s perspective, so they got undercover agents to contact him in October, with one claiming to be a “top Islamic sheik.” In March they made a phony ISIS propaganda video, and then made another this month with the phony bomb, before he was finally arrested.
The FBI agents should stop watching reruns of CASABLANCA, because they have taken "round up the usual suspects" much too seriously.
Pro Tip: NEVER say you want to be the one to detonate the bomb.
Seriously- you've probably never even SEEN a real bomb before, much less detonated one; better to let one of those higher-ranking (and clearly more experienced) jihadist handlers do it. If you want to be really hard-core about it, volunteer to shoot the bomb handler if he fails in his mission.
Also, make sure you document everything you're told and photograph everything you're given and make sure you send the whole shebang to every media outlet in town before you go on your "mission". Bonus points if you can get your 'handlers' on video saying they're not law enforcement officers or associated with any law enforcement agency- and get them to swear to God on that.
thats why the feds pick on halfwits like this, because they are not going to do that and they are going to take the bait again and again
I wonder how many people has the FBI hired to read all our Facebook and Twitter posts. It must be pretty boring 99.99% of the time.
If they are the same caliber as the horrible TSA….

HOW THE FBI CREATED A TERRORIST Mar. 16, 2015
IN THE VIDEO, Sami Osmakac is tall and gaunt, with jutting cheekbones and a scraggly beard. He sits cross-legged on the maroon carpet of the hotel room, wearing white cotton socks and pants that rise up his legs to reveal his thin, pale ankles. An AK-47 leans against the closet door behind him. What appears to be a suicide vest is strapped to his body. In his right hand is a pistol.

…semi off topic: Scott Horton's site just became impossible to access with some interesting timing, e.g. especially his attention to the Slager shooting. Last time I remember noticing that it was during an Israeli campaign on Palestine.
They can make fake ISIS video also! Is that later being downloaded by Rita Katz's 2 person operation outfit. -SITE, to present as evidence to CIA?
When will a federal judge put a stop to these phony bomb plots?
