    I'm not saying that intelligence officials don't fake crimes or lure people into operations, but I'm saying that these intelligence agencies are not God-like figures which can perfectly plan out and perfect mass-scale operations with pinpoint accuracy and control every single aspect of everything magically.
    Obviously if you've read my posts elsewhere on the forum I've said as much; there are lots of examples of FBI entrapment - for example, the FBI lured a young muslim man into bombing an NYC subway around 2010 (iirc), and as I said above, the vegas shooter is another "suspicious" one. There are also other examples of this in recent history, like the supposed entrapment of adam lanza or the FBI bulldozing a "shooter training camp" in New Mexico & scrubbing the story online.
    What I'm saying is that government agencies are not all knowing all powerful entities like people online want them to be often; they are hugely incompetent due to bureaucracy, modern government structure, misplaced incentive, and many other factors. this is not just a front for "shielding operations", it's the truth, these agencies are powerful due to the lawless nature and amount of resources they have, they aren't powerful because they're staffed with omniscient demigods.

    I'm sorry but when you run with their defacto incompetence defense and totally misunderstand how they are guaranteed to facilitate crime/murder , it's hard to take you seriously.

    Not to mention the classic conflating of actual reporting and exposure of their crimes with outlandish internet theorizing. Another branding success.

    I've already thrown out my measured disclaimer that no, they aren't actually God. Yes, we know. Brilliant insight. Now go do the actual reading on the subject like the "conspiracy theorists" you people are always arguing against. Another great branding operation to smear anyone investigating matters outside of the establishment.

    Start with easy s*** like Whitey Bulger. The LEAST you walk away with is understanding how their structure leaves them unaccountable for their "incompetence" (actual corruption and complicity on an agent level in that case) which results in dead bodies. I mean you'll be 15% less gullible after that.

    Now this specific case is still fresh. I really hope this guy left a video of him talking about it before he killed himself. Of course, the man who livestreamed himself in DC talking about having a bomb in his truck did that. He referred to people who helped him aqcuire the bomb multiple times. Now, once they realized it wasn't an active bomb but a dummy one (strange) they could drop that part of the investigation. Nobody cared. The country with the most media in the world couldn't be bothered to care about going "huh that's weird right".

    What about the absent bomb makers in the Boston marathon case? Hmm, if only we had examples of the feds supplying unwitting people with bombmaking material or alleged bombs. Huh, I guess we do don't we. What's the gap there. How many steps removed are setting up a terrorist attack or pretending to set one up of protecting an asset who doesn't use that cover to commit atrocities and protecting an asset who does use that cover to commit atrocities. An insurmountable gulf according to people like you. I guess they are incompetent AND god if they can tow a line that thin.

    But hey, what's their incentive. It's not like their budgets go up and their powers are increased the more bad things happen lol. Everytime they f*** up they get promoted and get a raise. I mean come the f*** on.

    what do you think the incentive was in this specific scenario, the only possible thing i can imagine is FBI entrapment, but if this is the case, why such a niche sub-group? did the FBI suddenly rebrand and now cares primarily about thecoli posters? joking, but more seriously, in recent times the FBI cares far more about keeping tabs on actual political organizers or young muslims rather than they do unstable hoteps online

    It’s about who they can form a believable narrative around. losers, race warriors, anyone with anti-establishment rhetoric, and so on. These are all the types they like to keep tabs on and even sometimes recruit. I’m not saying that’s the case here but once I hear about explosives, like actual bombs I always consider the possibility.

    I'm not arguing against any "conspiracy theory" nor am I conflating anything with internet theorizing. Which part do you want a source on? You seem to be coming at this from the angle of as if I was saying "intelligence never does anything", which is the exact opposite of anything I said. I can provide sourced reporting on every part of the above I said, these aren't just random websites like "oh yeah a comment on twitter said this was the FBI and this wasn't". I'm not saying agencies don't entrap people or commit crimes themselves, why are you arguing with me as if I'm denying the history of this?
    The part I'm saying is that given how these agencies operate, a proximity to being watchlisted is not itself proof that the person is an asset, there is just as high of a chance of the person being on a watchlist then being ignored as there is the person being lured into entrapment or being used as an asset. Is this or is this not true? If you legitimately think every single person who has ever been watchlisted is a direct asset and no incompetence can ever happen on the part of intelligence agencies you are for all intents and purposes saying they are all powerful - I'm not trying to be some theory genius here, I'm just stating the obvious about how idiotic it sounds to pre-blame these agencies as if every single crime that becomes a public spectacle must inherently be facilitated by them. Like do you think they just get assets to commit random crimes for no reason? I even conceded in another post I wouldn't be surprised if the motive was some sort of entrapment, but I'd be surprised considering "schizo hotep" is usually not on the top of their "people to entrap" list. Assets are called assets for a reason, and until I see some sort of reason this could have been committed as such, I don't see a reason to classify it like that. If you can find me a reason I will happily admit I was wrong, I'm not tied to this as if it's a meaningful part of how I view the world, I'm just not jumping to conclusions ahead of time for no reason. There's no reason to be this hostile as if I'm talking down to you for saying I disagree with what could have happened, it's not like I'm defending intelligence agencies nor defending the US government

    in this case there weren't actual bombs, apparently that was misreporting/early report confusion, it was just smoke grenades. smoke grenades are not that hard to get ahold of, there's lots of youtubers which even get them for videos and film makers get them for films all the time. If he was found with actual straight up non-IED explosives then I would agree with you.

    A 62-year-old man who railed against Mayor Adams and made bizarre threatening rants on YouTube has been identified as a person of interest in the savage Brooklyn subway attack that injured at least 29 people Tuesday morning, officials said.

    Frank James — who warned last month that he was “entering the danger zone” — rented a U-Haul van tied to the N train attack in Sunset Park and is being sought for questioning, police said at an evening briefing.

    “Mr. Mayor, I’m a victim of your mental health program,” James said in one lengthy video.

    “I’m 63 now full of hate, full of anger, and full of bitterness.”

    James said he had a diagnosed mental illness and railed against what he called the “horror show” of the city’s mental health services.

    “What’s going on in that place is violence,” he said about a facility he claimed to receive care from. “Not physical violence,” he explained, “but the kind of violence a child experiences in grade school… that would make him go get a gun and shooting motherf–ers.”

    The person of interest ranted about race issues and claimed that the Russian invasion of Ukraine was proof that black people were treated with disdain in society.

    “These white motherfu–ers, this is what they do,” he said. “Ultimately at the end of the day they kill and commit genocide against each other. What do you think they gonna do to your black ass?”

    The only options James could find, he claimed, was to commit more violence or become a criminal.

    “And so the message to me is: I should have gotten a gun, and just started shooting motherf—ers,” he said.

    “Or I should have gotten some dope and started shooting or starting hitting bit–es in the head, robbing old ladies, you know what the fu– it is.”

    The key to James’ van was found at the scene of the crime, as was a credit card that rented the vehicle out of Philadelphia, cops and law-enforcement sources said.

    Police have launched a massive manhunt for the shooter and revealed that surveillance cameras at the Sunset Park subway station were not working at the time of the assault. Law enforcement sources told The Post that the cameras tend to go out “from time to time.”

    NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell said at an earlier press conference that the suspect is a roughly 5-foot-5 black man with a heavy build at around 170 pounds. He was wearing a gas mask, an orange and green construction-type vest, neon-green work helmet and a hooded gray sweatshirt at the time.

    During an evening press briefing, Sewell said that among the items recovered by cops at the scene were a 9 mm handgun, a hatchet, gasoline and “consumer-grade fireworks.”

    At least one witness said she mistook the attacker for an MTA worker.

    In an e-mail earlier in the day to the entire police patrol force, cops had been ordered to keep their eyes peeled for the U-Haul and mark down its location and license plates.

    his personal videos, his belongings left, he rented the uhaul associated, there’s a lot of circumstantial evidence. that’s why he was only labeled as a person of interest as opposed to suspect, however he was named as a suspect this morning so they probably have more info now

    they did say they were not releasing all the info they have because they don’t want to jeopardize the search / investigation
