CONFIRMED: FBI Introduced Florida Shooter to InformantsBy Tony Cartalucci New York Daily News in their article, FBI spied on Orlando gay club terrorist Omar Mateen for 10 months in 2013: FBI Director James Comey, would admit (emphasis added): Mateen first appeared on authorities radar in 2013 after the security guards colleagues alerted the FBI to inflammatory statements he made to colleagues claiming family connections to Al Qaeda, according to Comey. Mateen also told coworkers he had a family member who belonged to Hezbollah, a Shia network that is a bitter enemy of ISIS the network he pledged allegiance to the night of the carnage, Comey noted. The FBIs Miami office opened an inquiry into Mateen. He said he hoped that law enforcement would raid his apartment and assault his wife and child so he could martyr himself, Comey said. Nevertheless, FBI investigators investigated Mateen, who was born in New York, for 10 months. They introduced him to confidential informants, spied on his communications and followed him. They also interviewed him twice. The significance of this cannot be understated. Informants in this context, according to FBI affidavits regarding similar counterterrorism investigations, refers to individuals posing as members of terrorist organizations who approach suspects, coerce them into planning and preparing for terrorist attacks, before finally aiding the FBI in the suspects arrest before the attack is finally carried out. Among the activities these informants carry out includes providing and training suspects in the use of real explosives, providing suspects with arsenals of weapons precisely like those used in the recent shooting in Orlando Florida, and encouraging suspects to adopt radical ideology over the course of the investigation. Suspects are given the false impression that they are working on behalf of terrorist organizations like Al Qaeda or the self-proclaimed Islamic State, often cultivating delusions of grandeur among otherwise mentally ill suspects. The Intercept in its recent article, Before Nightclub Shooting, FBI Pursued Questionable Florida Terror Suspects, would note that the FBIs Miami office who investigated Mateen, has been among the bureaus most active and aggressive counterterrorism units. It would also report on the specifics of this units activities: For more than a year ending in April a time during which investigators will now be looking for any clues from Mateen that might have been missed the FBI in Miami focused on a counterterrorism sting that targeted James Medina, a homeless man with mental problems. The Intercept would reveal that the FBI informant, not Medina, came up with the idea of crediting the planned attack to the Islamic State. In fact, upon reading the FBIs affidavit (.pdf), it is clear the FBIs informant encouraged and walked Medina through every aspect of the planned attack, including providing him with what he thought was an explosive device. Upon reading Medinas incoherent conversations with various FBI informants, it is clear he possessed neither the mental or technical capacity on his own to perpetrate the attacks he was arrested for. The Intercept would continue: Nearly a year before Medinas arrest, the FBIs Miami office arrested another supposed terrorist, 23-year-old Cuban-American Harlem Suarez, also known as Almlak Benitez, whom former co-workers described as a little slow. The government alleged that Suarez conspired with an FBI informant to bomb a beach in Key West in support of the Islamic State. The FBI provided a fake backpack bomb. Finally, the Intercept would reveal (emphasis added): The Orlando shooting isnt the first case to raise this question. In 2011, when the FBI investigated Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev, agents did not deem him a threat. Instead, at about the same time, the Boston FBI started a nine-month sting operation against Rezwan Ferdaus, who had no weapons and no connections to international terrorists, and whose mental wellness had deteriorated so much that he was wearing adult diapers at the time of his arrest on terrorism charges. Rezwan Ferdaus, like Medina, was provided assistance by the FBI every step of the way, including being provided 24 lbs of C4 explosives, 6 fully automatic AK47 rifles, and 3 grenades the FBIs own affidavit reveals (.pdf). He was brought deep into a fictional world where he believed he was working directly with Al Qaeda for nearly a year told that detonation devices he constructed and passed on to FBI informants were used in Iraq to kill American soldiers. Image: The FBI provided Ferdaus with thousands of dollars to purchase various pieces of equipment for his planned drone attack on Washington D.C. The FBIs informants conduct similar practices in virtually all of their investigations. In 2010, the FBI investigated naturalized US citizen and Oregon resident Mohamed Osman Mohamud. In their own official statement titled, Oregon Resident Arrested in Plot to Bomb Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony in Portland, released by the U.S. Attorneys Office on November 26, 2010 it was stated (emphasis added): According to the affidavit, on November 4, 2010, Mohamud and the undercover FBI operatives traveled to a remote location in Lincoln County, Ore., where they detonated a bomb concealed in a backpack as a trial run for the upcoming attack. The FBI in February 2012 provided another suspect with live explosives in the lead up to what was ultimately a foiled suicide bombing planned with the help of FBI informants at the US Capitol. Image: The bomb the FBI constructed for the Portland Christmas tree bomber. USA Today reported in their article, FBI foils alleged suicide bomb attack on U.S. Capitol, that (emphasis added): According to a counterterrorism official, El Khalifi expressed interest in killing at least 30 people and considered targeting a building in Alexandria and a restaurant, synagogue and a place where military personnel gather in Washington before he settled on the Capitol after canvassing that area a couple of times, the Associated Press writes. During the year-long investigation, El Khalifi detonated explosives at a quarry in the capital region with undercover operatives. He is not believed to be affiliated with al-Qaeda, officials said. Considering the disturbing activities conducted by FBI informants during these investigations, the FBI appears obligated to tell the American public just what their informants were doing with Florida shooting suspect Omar Mateen in the 10 months they were investigating him beginning in 2013. Did they also walk Mateen through planned attacks he ultimately backed out of? Did he eventually change his mind again after the FBIs investigation was allegedly closed? The American media and US elected representatives have an obligation to ask these questions, obtain this information from the FBI, and to reevaluate the FBIs means and methods of investigating potential suspects through what is clearly a dangerous process of entrapment, indoctrination, and deceit. The FBIs counterterrorism program has not made America safer. It has clearly been used to provide a steady stream of foiled attacks that otherwise would never have materialized causing hysteria, hatred, fear, and division across American society. The FBIs counterterrorism program has also clearly failed monumentally to stop actual terror suspects know to them before real attacks have unfolded. The FBI is supposed to represent an asset for the domestic security of the United States but in reality it appears to be one of the most compromised of liabilities.

The FBI has a long history of inciting violence through use of informants. Google up Emad A. Salem. He was an Egyptian explosives expert working for the FBI. The Bureau ordered him to build the bomb that blew up in the World Trade Center in 1993. Yes, the FBI blew up the WTC in 93. Then they tried and convicted some retarded people for the act. Look it up. Whats very disturbing here is the possibility that the FBI informants encouraged, trained, and equipped Mateen in order to be entrapped in their sting operation, but instead he struck out on his own You get it wrong, this is and was intended not meant to be stopped at all. I think this was planned to happend, period, this babbeling from the FBI makes me more certain that there is more than just druling something on the news. Yup, this was an fully fledged false flag, they just confirmed it, stupid creaps, and this dumba. runs an intelligence, muhahaha, agency. peace I just had an weird creepy feeling. That one, is the person that flew Norway the same day Breivik was arrested for the killing of 70 Norwegain youths, that one flew directly down to an kibbutz in Israel and havent heard nor seen anything about that person since, not a word even thoe the person was photographed in our MSM, witch I belive was an clitch made by the MSM. Just an hunch. peace So basically, the FBI interviewed him for 10 months for his final job If I understand this right,the FBI is enabling a mentally ill man,and telling him to go commit a crime? That makes them an accessory to the crime. Mercy! not hard to find stooges is it? Did anyone check to see if the guns used were from the Fast and Furious debacle?
