A few years ago, the FBI found some islamist edgelords on a forum. They created a fake terrorist organization, radicalized them to accept terrorism as a legitimate act, gave them inert weapons to blow up a bridge or something, then arrested them.
The FBI effectively created their own terrorists and arrested them before they could carry out a terrorist attack. You know, to fight terrorism. The charges stuck, btw.
I admit this is fully speculative. But this whole thing stinks to high heaven. And the fact that Fox News had somebody on, praising how non-partisan the FBI was under Bill Barr when talking about this event seems pretty fucking suspicious.
Not exactly, and that's kinda my point.
