a committed individual, even one with no direct connections to, or formal training from, an international terrorist organization, can pose a serious danger to the community.
I also struggle to accept it as intended. If you find this unreasonable, perhaps you’ll consider the work of James Corbett on various related topics – specifically his coverage of OKC and 9/11. If after reviewing such works you can make a case in support of trusting the FBI, I will personally write you a gushing letter of appreciation and apology.

To blindly distrust all authorities would be unreasonable; I value good government, and support it. The FBI has actually done good work on occasion, as exemplified in the case of the egghead(1). However, the abundance of evidence indicating that such authorities operate in an super-insufficiently open manner, makes blind acceptance absurd, and scrutiny vital.
Using numbers, a persuasive argument can made against the extreme imbalance of the terror®-to-budget/police-state ratio. Based on current expenditures of resources, and wholesale liquidation of liberties in the war on terror®, I estimate that confronting more serious threats such as auto-collisions or ill health, would present an impossible challenge. At best it would be a Pyhrric victory, and we’d probably only be able to reduce the collisions by a small margin, but at the expense of our health. Of course, this is based on the present methodology employed, which is poor, albeit rigorously practiced and imposed.
An analogy for such methods might be two opposing forces of greater and lesser numbers (and interests) facing off for battle. The larger force attacks only a single individual of the lesser force, bludgeoning the remains so fiercely, that a hole is dug into which the attackers fall onto each-other, unwittingly fighting themselves in confusion, and ultimately burying each-other through their excess of force and over-focused strategy.
Predictably, at such a pace and direction, we will have an exceedingly well protected hell, in which vegetables verbally inform consumers of RDA guidelines, critical-thinking is a crime, standards are for the few, and those unscathed by disease are crippled by vaccine. Essentially, Walden Two(2) with zombies, x-rays, self imposed ignorance, Tasers, and poverty – aka “change”.
The quote by DesLauriers seems to me, clearly indicative of both previous trends, and an agenda which has much less to do with public safety than with deceiving the prospective victim of American society. While already expressed and known, it may still be worth further pondering that this terrorist convert/sympathizer was being actively encouraged by an elite group with elite toys and resources. Left to fester in the solitude of his own angry and misguided mind, might Ferdaus have simply stayed there? Might he eventually have changed, and learned the error of his ways? Maybe – and even probably – not. But I still consider it. Projects such as MK-Ultra illustrate the power of manipulation, the extent to which individuals can be molded, and a willingness to do so. There are many other examples too(3). Humanity is diverse, and we will – save specialized eugenics – always have the strange and insane lurking amongst us.
Other similar operations conducted by the FBI and other “intelligence” sources, have involved assisting the suspect beyond preventive measures. Some operations border on thought-crime, pre-crime, or even no-crime. The notion of preventive operations is by no means bad; it is again, the methods employed. An analytical review of recent history will show that the methods used can sometimes be the core of the crime itself. Again, I refer you to the Corbett Report.
I do not make a case for psychotic tyrants. I simply cite history, and perhaps suggest a different approach. Maybe all worked well in the particular case of Ferdaus – but what will be the outcome of other similar operations? History offers a few possible examples, and based on the new and very serious implementation of emergency-style powers being delegated to nearly all divisions of authority, and the opaque nature of modern government-based “security” measures, I’d say we should be concerned. Do we want to abandon the judicial system before we have something better?
Allow me to make a point, and try to imagine:
~ We have a recovering alcoholic or drug addict. Maybe this individual has some pretty negative tendencies in general, and has done a few questionable things. But there is a genuine willingness to quit. Now take a few FBI agents who have on their resume the following:
☻ Experience in deceptive interfaces and deceit.
☻ Experience in killing people who insist on ingesting or distributing certain non-volatile substances. – No citation needed.
☻ Experience in murdering suspects before a trial and listing the deaths as suicide.
☻ Experience murdering heroic law enforcement officers.
☻ Indifference.
☻ X years obediently operating under a corrupt hierarchy, with or without good intentions. – Protocol
During a therapy session, the agents offer various narcotics and beverages to the addict. The addict is naturally inclined to accept. After heavy persuasion, the drugs and beverages are accepted . . . a hopeless fiend. ~
Before you go into a rage and say I am hopelessly naive, imagine this: You are in an Apache helicopter, flying over some (Middle Eastern?) city. You and your buddies see a few armed journalists, a dozen others, and a van. You decide to empty a few hundred – or more – .50 caliber rounds on them.
When only moist steamy chunks remain, and all but the child with the bullet in her belly and her critically wounded (7 year old) brother have been spread thin and nil, you say “dude”, and laugh. Your buddies say “that’s what they get for bringing their kids to war.”(4)
Maybe that provides just-enough contrast to highlight the much larger background existing behind the US terror® stage. I think it provides a solid example of how easily one can be converted into a terrorist, whether intended by the individual or not. It may even suggest that terrorists are good, so long as they work for the “right” side.
I, and presumably you as well, want to prevent terror® (and terror) – whether it be from a brown man, white man, black man, blue planet, second Sun, civilian, or government. As the common failure of all empires might suggest, their is something insidious about terror®. It seems to never come from where it is expected, and despite thousands of years of remedial hands-on experience, before it is identified, it has usually done its will, hence the unsustained existence of nearly every government or empire ever written of on papyrus, or paper.
For those brave champions in the new sport of anti-terror®, I observe an inability to distinguish between opportunity and genuine concern. At best, they have a very loose set of limitations, and seem inclined to follow whims of suspicion with heavy hands and irresponsible sense of adventure. If the FBI cannot exhibit enough competence to meticulously remove from terrorist watch-lists those who’ve been shown to not be terrorists(5), I suggest hearing it loud and clear when one of them begins babbling about all the otherwise normal people who have possibly – according to them – converted to something which may not even exist as we’ve come to “know” it.
In no way do I propose that Ferdaus was a desperate project of a failing and rejected terror® paradigm; I only consider that history may suggest it’s not terribly unlikely. Ten years later, and no major media source has mentioned Building 7. The FBI would have you believe this is a jumbo jet. Sixteen years later, critically important OKC video surveillance remains unreleased. After nearly a half century we have yet to learn the details of the Kennedy assassination. The Federal Reserve cannot even be asked about 500 billion dollars sent to unidentified nations. The US has carpet-bombed Libya while snickering at Liberia and other troubled nearby nations.
Our taxes are not enough, and now they want our liberties, and our minds too. Need I go on? Is there a problem with priorities here? They say they care so much, that they will go to any measure to protect us, and they say this while houses foreclose and families prepare to hit the streets. They say this while telling Osama bedtime stories, and waging strange-wars. They say it all with less than lip-service to the issues that really threaten us.
If you scour half a continent containing over 300 million people, you will find bad things indeed. You will find things and beg you hadn’t. Never mind Mexico and narco-terrorism. Never mind veterans and the sick. Never mind education. Never mind the economy. Never mind anything but the Quiet Ones; they’re out there.
