He planned to shoot Pope Francis in 2015 during a public mass in Philadelphia, after the Pope’s arrival for the World Meeting of Families. He hired a man to shoot the Pope and to obtain bomb components, engaging in target reconnaissance in preparation. But the man he hired was actually an undercover FBI agent, and he was arrested more than a week before the mass.

And that is what the FBI is for.

 

[ClearWater]

Thank God he was caught in time!

 

[tawny]

Thank God he was caught in time!

Amen.

This story will almost certainly turn out to be massive fraud perpetrated by the FBI. A careful reading of the article, in light of known FBI scams, makes it virtually 100% certain this is false news. Trust the FBI at your peril.

It’s a very safe bet this teenager is completely innocent of any crime whatsoever, but will have an absolutely Hellish life behind bars or in a mental institution purely due to FBI stupidity and cruelty. I’d wager he has either Down Syndrome or some other type of serious organic brain damage. Innocent disabled children like that are invariably the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s favored victims in these dishonest schemes.

Can’t wait to see some evidence on that. I assure you, I’ll agree with you as soon as I see the basis for such an interesting story.

Dear Exiled Child,

I find your hypothesis interesting and provocative, but any such hypothesis has to be grounded in facts and precedents.

Can you point this (non-American) reader towards instances when the FBI has organized such “false flag” operations involving youth as scapegoats?

And why should such an operation involve Pope Francis, whose involvement and role in American politics is fairly minimal?

These “terror plots” are always, literally always, made-up and manufactured by the FBI.

Thank you for your courtesy and altogether Catholic politeness regarding my inflammatory and angry post, RomanoAmerio. Truly, it speaks very, very well of you. :yup: The sad truth of these fake terror plot scams manufactured over and over and over and over again usually works like this: the FBI identifies a sad, lonely youth, often with severe mental disabilities, and they befriend him. These are often kids with zero friends, absolutely lonely as lonely can be, and with an especially rich inner-life of pure fantasy. Not in touch with reality, but good, decent kids with learning disabilities. The FBI informant then plays upon the victim’s penchant for cartoonish heroism and valiance, his childish outlook, and begins feeding this kid plots, as though they were taken from a third rate nineteen fifties superhero comicbook. Before long, the FBI informant has convinced this vulnerable, lonely, emotionally starved child that some hypothetical evil act cooked-up by the feds themselves would be a good idea. They then shower the victim with gifts of money, a vehicle, their first apartment, as well as weapons and fake bombs that look real. When the target begins to verbally go along with their new and only friend in the world, the FBI busts him and it becomes a front-page news story. And as I said, this is the basic framework for how it’s always happened to date. By the time the truth of the matter comes out, it’s ages later and the news cycle has moved on to other things. The public has forgotten and no longer cares. I can certainly speculate on the mass-psy-ops intentions of this, from the perspective of cultural engineering and mass-brainwashing, but this is the basic template, tried and true.

I don’t have an opinion either way as to the validity. I did find this story as well.

ibtimes.com/who-santos-colon-jr-new-jersey-teen-pleads-guilty-plotting-kill-pope-during-2520168

I do find the last two paragraphs interesting.

"*Colon often used an adopted name “Ahmad Shakoor” while he was planning for the attacks. Officials also said that he planned a sniper attack on the Pope during his visit.

The officials revealed that Colon was unaware he “engaged someone he thought would be a sniper but was actually an undercover FBI employee.” Colon also allegedly “engaged in target reconnaissance” with an FBI confidential source and asked them to purchase materials for the production of explosives meant for the attack."*

It does seem to suggest a 15 year old boy who wasn’t aware of what was going on.

Dear Exiled Child,

Thank you for your considerate and detailed reply.

My friends from Asian countries inform me that a cruder form of this practice occurs in some of their native lands: police would randomly arrest beggars or vagrants to improve their statistics, or pin a theft on some wandering mentally ill individual who would then spend years shuttling between prison and the nearest psychiatric facility.

However, the practice you highlight appears to be far more sinister. One wonders why the FBI needs to generate such “fake terrorists”. Is it out of a desire to manipulate the populace into being afraid of terrorism or Islam in general? Or simply a desire to appear effective in the much-vaunted “war on terror”? As you said, such practices do represent a particularly reprehensible form of social engineering. Let us pray for this boy and hope that he emerges from his ordeal without too many lumps. After all, Saint John Paul II was a model of forgiveness towards an actual assassin who actually managed to fire bullets into him.

I think you are right. Its a shame more people cannot ‘read between the lines’ regrading incidents like this.

The FBI and CIA have been involved in some very disturbing things in the past, lord only knows what they are up to today!

When it comes to such a corrupt tyrannical govt as the US, I would not put ANYTHING past them and I mean ANYTHING.

I agree that the cases cited in that link (and in several other articles I read which were linked to within that article) definitely don’t look good on the FBI. I’m not so sure about the ethics of entrapping a person who is ideologically a terrorist but has no material ability to execute his terrorist fantasies.

But I can’t agree with your statement that these terror plots are “literally always” made up. It’s actually a pretty amusing assertion on your part.

Can you prove that 100% of terrorists that have been stopped by the FBI were entrapped in a similar manner to the 2-5 cases I was able to find referenced in the link you posted?

I’m willing to guess that you can’t. And that there’s evidence to the contrary.

Can you provide me the name of a homegrown ISIS terrorist who was legitimately foiled by the FBI? I stand by my statement.

I don’t mean to be flippant either, dshix, because I know you mean well and just find it impossible to believe.

If you carefully look at every one of these cases, you’ll find that the FBI groomed and created each “terrorist” before catching him.

Also dshix, I thought I’d add that I was speaking of Muslim terrorists, not just any random person who commits some crime that’s labelled as “terrorism”. Like those militia rancher guys in the middle of rural Oregon who had a standoff at some Federal building or Federal property or whatever it was. Yeah, you’re absolutely right - the FBI does catch people like that. You could almost say that they caught Ted Kacynzski, too, even though it would be more accurate to say that his brother caught him and gave the feds his name and location. Random one-offs like that definitely do happen, but that’s not the War on Terror. I originally started speaking about this specific fourteen or fifteen year old Muslim kid who’s accused of hatching a plan to assassinate Pope Francis and blow up Philly. He’s the type of terrorist who grabs the headlines, partially to make Americans feel safe, and partially to justify an ever-increasing surveillance apparatus at home and abroad. And it is primarily the Middle East where these frightening sureillance tactics are being constantly upgraded, tested and perfected. Facial recognition programs, for instance, are being routinely used in Muslim countries before they’re brought home to be used on us. And I’m not saying it doesn’t already exist here in a more primitive way. Are you familiar with longrange iris scans? A person can be identified by an iris alone at fifty feet. This kind of mind-blowing tech-garbage is going to be everywhere in Europe and America at some point, but in order to convince Congress and the public to support constant funding increases into these areas, a steady stream of Muslim terrorists is necessary. Hence all of this stuff we’ve been talking about. Informants being paid enormous sums of money to secretly go to mosques and schools, locate the low-hanging fruit, and cultivate “terrorists” from scratch.

So yeah, I’m speaking specifically of the War on Terror.
