The FBI Admits Its Primary Focus Is "Not" Law Enforcement
Submitted by Mike Krieger of Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,
Recently, the FBI made a significant change to its self-proclaimed primary focus in its fact sheet from “law enforcement” to “national security.” This change merely confirms what I and countless others have claimed to be true for quite some time. That the entire regulatory, security and intelligence apparatus of these United States has been redirected away from protecting the Constitution and the rule of law, toward a narrow focus on protecting the economic and social positions of the oligarch class at all costs under the guise of a “war on terror.” We have seen many signs of cronyism at the FBI for decades now, something most accurately pointed out in the priceless image “All My Heroes Have FBI Files.”
While this change to the FBI fact sheet is just confirmation of something we already knew, it’s still mind-boggling to see it shoved right in our faces:

TechDirt covered this story well. Here are some excerpts:
A couple years ago, it was revealed that the FBI noted in one of its “counterterrorism training manuals” that FBI agents could “bend or suspend the law and impinge upon the freedoms of others,” which seemed kind of odd for a government agency who claimed its “primary function” was “law enforcement.” You’d think that playing by the rules would be kind of important. However, as John Hudson at Foreign Policy has noted, at some point last summer, the FBI quietly changed its fact sheet, so that it no longer says that “law enforcement” is its primary function, replacing it with “national security.”
Of course, I thought we already had a “national security” agency — known as the “National Security Agency.” Of course, while this may seem like a minor change, as the article notes, it is the reality behind the scenes. The FBI massively beefed up resources focused on “counterterrorism” and… then let all sorts of other crimes slide. Including crimes much more likely to impact Americans, like financial/white collar fraud.
So… what has the FBI been doing? Well, every time we hear anything about the FBI and counterterrorism, it seems to be a case where the FBI has been spending a ton of resources to concoct completely made up terrorism plots, duping some hapless, totally unconnected person into taking part in this “plot” then arresting him with big bogus headlines about how they “stopped” a terrorist plot that wouldn’t have even existed if the FBI hadn’t set it up in the first place. And this is not something that the FBI has just done a couple times. It’s happened over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. And those are just the stories that we wrote about that I can find in a quick search. I’m pretty sure there are a bunch more stories that we wrote about, let alone that have happened.
All of these efforts to stop their own damn “plots” screams of an agency that feels it needs to “do something” when there’s really nothing to be done. Thousands of agents were reassigned from stopping real criminals to “counterterrorism” and when they found there were basically no terrorists around, they just started making their own in order to feel like they were doing something… and to have headlines to appease people upstairs. The government seems to have gone collectively insane when it comes to anything related to “terrorism.”
Once again ladies and and gentlemen: USA! USA!

When I rent a DVD, I now see three Federal warnings about copying same. FBI was the original. Then Homeland Security got in the act. I can't remember the third, but I feel safer.
Blockbuster can be a dangerous place.
...there is this thing called torrenting. A friend told me about it. Hollywood actors, producers, and directors actually enjoy redistributing their work so everyone can enjoy it because everyone is entitled to entertainment.
I rent exclusively from Red Box because of my political beliefs :).
You're entitled to entertainment without paying for it. Hollywood actually embraces this concept on a broader basis. You should join the movement.
I understand what you're saying, but to me the bigger issue is why the Department of Homeland Security has anything to do with a fucking movie.
Because the trolls have run out of bridges to hang out under, I suppose.
that's what the oligarchs fear...........hanging FROM bridges......too bad they'll probably dangle a lot of us first from them......."for our safety" of course....
It's a smart move, after pissing off all those people, now you have to defend yourself with "national security".
More countries are becoming police states, it seems. Where the police serve those in power instead of the people.

Great, another Federal agency at the ready to rear its ugly head against the citizenry
Listen silly, "laws" are gone. They have been gone for a long time now.
Is that what Bye-Law means???
Listen silly, "laws" are gone. They have been gone for a long time now.
I think "Law" has always been something, throughout history, whch has applied only to the mundanes, and has always served its role as control mechanism for keeping the mundanes in line, along with religion and morality. These things quite obviously do not apply to those at the top, nor to their enforcers. But that fact has always been mostly hidden from the mundanes, whose lives consist of work, going to church, loving their children, and paying taxes to keep the whole phony thing on its feet.
The information revolution has been like the invention of the printing press. Now it is plain, for anyone who cares to see, to see that corruption, bribery, scandal, greed and violence are rampant at the top levels of government. It has become so obvious, in fact, that the efforts to conceal it have all but stopped. Now in its place we see the hubris of the dare for us to try to do something about it.
Many mundanes, most in fact, trapped in their morality, still cannot conceive of just how greedy, amoral, and corrupt the politicians are. It is inconceivable to them. Ask them. I have. They have a clawing sense that something is desperately, desperately wrong, but, like all of us, they see the world through the lens of our own experience, beliefs and morality, and that worldview, so carefully inculcated by the system, quite literally prevents them from seeing they are slaves.
Have you seen the state of our nation's bridges?
Not a suitable place for any troll. I'm glad they're getting jobs with homeland security and making this country safe for all of us.

Rumor has it that the Three Billy Goats Gruff are a Njorwegian affiliate of LAQIS (Lutefisken Al Qaeda In Scandinavia).
Really?
$$$
Would tend to suspect it really is all about the $$$. FBI budget = X. NSA budget = (classified, peasants, but assumed to be) 1000X±. You're one of the suits running the Federal National Security Bureau®, by definition you wants mo' mo-NAY. LOTS mo'.
And this is how you go about getting it.
Hollywood is essentially an extension of the government (see: Jerry Bruckheimer movies). It's really just the Department of Indoctrination and Recruitment.
"but to me the bigger issue is why the Department of Homeland Security has anything to do with a fucking movie."
Because Hollywood is a big private Corporation full of rich bastards ,you Floridian schmuck.
And to make sure that YOU are paying for all the propaganda and indoctrination they're stuffing into every movie made these days.
4 months before September 11 2001 Pearl Harbor was released. how convenient.
The Bush presidency might well be the Jerry Bruckheimer presidency -- after the hugely successful producer of ''Armageddon,'' ''Black Hawk Down'' and ''Top Gun,'' the movie re-enacted by Mr. Bush in his flyboy landing on the Abraham Lincoln. Mr. Bruckheimer has enjoyed a happy partnership with the Donald Rumsfeld Pentagon from the get-go. While the nation and the administration snoozed in the late spring of 2001, unaware that the next Pearl Harbor was less than four months away, the gala premiere party for Bruckheimer's summer extravaganza, ''Pearl Harbor,'' took place on the aircraft carrier U.S.S. John C. Stennis, which had been sent from San Diego to Hawaii for the festivities.

Censorship is key!
Hollywood, like the NFL, has established itself as a non-regulated trust (along with all media). Since 9-11, they have joyfully cooperated as the propaganda arm of the oligarchy in the great war on terror in exchange for this special designation. You'll soon see Mark Wahlberg as a SEAL in LONE SURVIVOR at a theater near you. It's your duty as an American to see it.
"Hollywood actors, producers, and directors actually enjoy redistributing their work so everyone can enjoy it because everyone is entitled to entertainment."
That's the funniest shit I've heard in long time. You view a fucking multi-billion dollar global industry from your own personal perpective. I can understand that.
oh, it's on with these types. when i bought car insurance they asked me to answer a multiple choice 'security' question, giving me the choice of 3 street addresses and asking if any of them related to me or family. i didn't recognize any of them, but when i thought more about it later, i realized one was a house i rented in college. funny thing, i never had a driver license at that address. this came right out of a random insurance agents computer. somebody's supercomputer is trying to connect 30 year old dots. no file on all americans, my ass.
You can always change your name, that throws um for a big loop and you end with an alias tag on your file.
All this security is really starting to scare me
Securiphobia.
DSM-5 is already out, but maybe you can get it in DSM-6.
Where to start?....
http://www.healthnewsreview.org/2012/12/critic-calls-american-psychiatri...
Dr. Allen Frances writes that the American Psychiatric Association approval of the 5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual this past weekend marks “a sad day for psychiatry.“ Frances, psychiatry professor emeritus at Duke, chaired the DSM-4 task force.
He lists the top ten changes that he says should be ignored:
“I would suggest that clinicians not follow these at all (or, at the very least, use them with extreme caution and attention to their risks); that potential patients be deeply skeptical, especially if the proposed diagnosis is being used as a rationale for prescribing medication for you or for your child; and that payers question whether some of these are suitable for reimbursement. My goal is to minimize the harm that may otherwise be done by unnecessary obedience to unwise and arbitrary DSM 5 decisions.
1) Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder: DSM 5 will turn temper tantrums into a mental disorder- a puzzling decision based on the work of only one research group. We have no idea whatever how this untested new diagnosis will play out in real life practice settings, but my fear is that it will exacerbate, not relieve, the already excessive and inappropriate use of medication in young children. During the past two decades, child psychiatry has already provoked three fads- a tripling of Attention Deficit Disorder, a more than twenty-times increase in Autistic Disorder, and a forty-times increase in childhood Bipolar Disorder. The field should have felt chastened by this sorry track record and should engage itself now in the crucial task of educating practitioners and the public about the difficulty of accurately diagnosing children and the risks of over- medicating them. DSM 5 should not be adding a new disorder likely to result in a new fad and even more inappropriate medication use in vulnerable children.
2) Normal grief will become Major Depressive Disorder, thus medicalizing and trivializing our expectable and necessary emotional reactions to the loss of a loved one and substituting pills and superficial medical rituals for the deep consolations of family, friends, religion, and the resiliency that comes with time and the acceptance of the limitations of life.
3) The everyday forgetting characteristic of old age will now be misdiagnosed as Minor Neurocognitive Disorder, creating a huge false positive population of people who are not at special risk for dementia. Since there is no effective treatment for this ‘condition’ (or for dementia), the label provides absolutely no benefit (while creating great anxiety) even for those at true risk for later developing dementia. It is a dead loss for the many who will be mislabeled.
4) DSM 5 will likely trigger a fad of Adult Attention Deficit Disorder leading to widespread misuse of stimulant drugs for performance enhancement and recreation and contributing to the already large illegal secondary market in diverted prescription drugs.
5) Excessive eating 12 times in 3 months is no longer just a manifestation of gluttony and the easy availability of really great tasting food. DSM 5 has instead turned it into a psychiatric illness called Binge Eating Disorder.
6) The changes in the DSM 5 definition of Autism will result in lowered rates- 10% according to estimates by the DSM 5 work group, perhaps 50% according to outside research groups. This reduction can be seen as beneficial in the sense that the diagnosis of Autism will be more accurate and specific- but advocates understandably fear a disruption in needed school services. Here the DSM 5 problem is not so much a bad decision, but the misleading promises that it will have no impact on rates of disorder or of service delivery. School services should be tied more to educational need, less to a controversial psychiatric diagnosis created for clinical (not educational) purposes and whose rate is so sensitive to small changes in definition and assessment.
7) First time substance abusers will be lumped in definitionally in with hard core addicts despite their very different treatment needs and prognosis and the stigma this will cause.
8) DSM 5 has created a slippery slope by introducing the concept of Behavioral Addictions that eventually can spread to make a mental disorder of everything we like to do a lot. Watch out for careless overdiagnosis of internet and sex addiction and the development of lucrative treatment programs to exploit these new markets.
9) DSM 5 obscures the already fuzzy boundary been Generalized Anxiety Disorder and the worries of everyday life. Small changes in definition can create millions of anxious new ‘patients’ and expand the already widespread practice of inappropriately prescribing addicting anti-anxiety medications.
10) DSM 5 has opened the gate even further to the already existing problem of misdiagnosis of PTSD in forensic settings.”

Oops. I should have read further down from Chumba before posting the same thing. My bad.
Chumba - keep in mind also the laws that are slowly being put into place to make it illegal for anyone with certain medicial issues or history from owning firearms. Not claiming this is the is part of any motivation or plan here... just connecting dots to see if there is a pattern.
You got it Chumba. Correlation is NOT causation. Psychiatry tells patients they lack chemicals in the brain so take something. However, the causation of the lack of chemicals in the brain is never discussed with patients. I advise anyone with a mood disorder considering seeing a shrink to first see an MD which is more likely to give you what you need for narcotics right (shrinks will give you everything else first that have nasty side effects) away to ease suffering but while also attempting to determine the underlying cause of the mood disorder.
I have anxiety and gerds cause by Barrets disease, the short of it I dont fully digest certain minerals properly, so less processed minerals means less chemicals to the brain.
I'll tell you my short story. So I went to a nurse practictioner years ago for anxiety and occasionally got a chill pill. Well, a couple of years ago I figured I would try a specialist, a shrink. They must really know what they are doing right? I had one that told me I was manic and must be bi-polar, based on the dialation of my eyes and hurried speech.
He put me on meds that had adverse effects to the point I was a near drooling idiot for eight months. I also developed suicidal feelings while on them. I told the shrink give me the chill pill like I used to have and I am going off the other drugs or your fired. He gave them to me. Research based on my anxiety symptoms and adverse reactions to drugs prescribed from the American Journal of Psychiatry put me a a camp where only narcotics work so wrong prescription, I had to do my own research and show this to him.
My clear thinking restored I began doing tons of research on causation of lack of chemicals in the brain. The most common causes are digestive disorders, a person doesnt absorb, metabolize or distribute the chemicals processed (or not in my case) from food. You see a high correlation of people tested for low vitamin D or lithium levels with digestive issues and mood disorders. Thyroid issues can also cause mood disorders which should also be tested.
I went to an MD and got tested, I have Barrets. So between diet changes, supplements and exercise which helps anxiety for a ton of reasons, I take only 2 MG of Ativan daily for the anxiety which is near nothing and I take it now more for business performance issues, for focus. The MD gave me a comprehension test for bi-polar with the results stating I was not. So shrinks destroyed eight months of my life, cost me thousands of dollars. About a year ago I met a retired German shrink on a plane to Boston while traveling for business. When I told him what happened, he said shrinks do not want patients to be treated for the CAUSe of mood disorders, they want you as a patient for 20-30 years at $200 an hour. The Upton Sinclair quote comes to mind: "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on not understanding it."
I tell you all this not because I want pity, I tell you this to warn you to see that MD FIRST and determine causation and avoid the shrinks so you do not pay a VERY heavy price for trusting this profession. It nearly ended my life, quite literally. And I went to some groups of people with mood disorders and I can tell you the devastation caused by this profession is rampant and widespread. For every one patient helped, you'll see five made worse.
It is the only medical profession that I can tell that can get away operating soley on correlation. BTW, a majority of famous entertainers and scientists have mood disorders. Well, it appears that if you lack certain chemicals in the brain your body may produce more adreline to function which increases beta brain waves. In today's America, Einstein would have been drugged out by his parents on ADD meds to control his mood disorder for not cooperating at school. I rarely use profanity but to ALL YOU SHRINKS: FUCK YOU
Chiropractors do the same thing, they can fix your back at the first visit but don't. Been there, done that.

William Tell's first arrow hit the apple, not his son's skull.
Had he missed, the second arrow was for the Austrian prick Gessler, who would have had it coming to him.
William Tell was a real person.
"Fuck that prick Gessler, just who in the hell does he think he is?", William Tell must have thought to himself. "I ain't submitting to any of his bullshit. I'm not bowing to his hat and certainly not to him. Jesus Fucking Christ Almighty, who is going to put up with this bullshit?"
William Tell's own words, I am quite sure. If they're not, it's close. Sometimes, enough is enough and putting up with it is not the answer, so open defiance can be a valuable tool.
Do what William Tell did and your life is going to be better.
Fuck you, Obama, you stupid prick. Take your Obamacare and shove it right straight up your ass, you stupid shit.

Never, ever, apologize for being defiant!

Most Americans can not see the National Security blanket smothering the Constitution.
This means the constitution, to their retina, is unobfuscated. This is giving way, way too much. Many feel the supremacy clause is for any old law the supreme court likes, whereas it is applicable only to laws made in persuance of the constitution, to which the States are the parties.
The 3rd warning is from The Egg Council. Easy to see how you can forget that one. But--don't sleep on The Egg Council; tough, sneaky bastards, they are.

The FBI has turned into an evil and treasonous organization.
The NSA and FBI would make Stalin jealous if he were alive.
"The FBI has turned into an evil and treasonous organization."
Remember HOOVER?
Thanks for the post.
The employee's main purpose is to get paid. The agencie's purpose is to protect the members of the Carlyle Group, the FED and the rulers of tyranny in Washington D.C.
The FBI is a formal agency of paid mercenaries.
I knew an FBI agent who complained vehemently that just after 9/11 they were pulled from work on major financial crimes to running down baseless complaints from busy-body old ladies who saw 'terrorists' everywhere.
Those very real and substantial crimes are now past their statute of limitations.
Amazing how many investigations (like the $2 trillion unaccounted for in the Pentagon's spending) evaporated after 9/11. Some very suspicious activity in clearing Treasuries also occurred under 'emergency measures' just after 9/11 as well.
Just proves - If you're going to steal, steal BIG. Seems like 'Too big to fail' can also be 'Too big to investigate and prosecute'
Financial crimes? There is a Gubmint entity known as FinCEN that I believe focuses on that. Don't know much about them. But they had an office in a building I worked in here in DC, and they had a seriously armed security detail hanging around...
You Knew FBI working on major financial crimes,LOL no really LOL..500 billion pulled from MM in one day in fall of 2008 and no one in the public knows by whom, for whom or why, SEC did nothing, to this day the biggest month of robbing the investing publics money has never seen the light of day, get over it the FBI never got near looking into that one, sorry but you are a dupe.
"knew an FBI agent who complained vehemently that just after 9/11 they were pulled from work on major financial crimes"
Got to wonder why said agent ain't having breakfast with Snowden. Oh yeah, no balls.
Overmedicated, I believe it was 2004 when the FBI warned of a coming crime wave from the financial system. That the FBI was directed away from prosecuting their criminal political bosses to now directly protecting them shouldn't come as much of a surprise.

Was right after 9/11. Back then they still WERE investigating and even prosecuting financial crimes. Since then - forget it.
BTW - there have been fewer prosecutions of financial crimes under Obama than under Bush or any other recent President. I guess even W wanted the appearance of action - whihc may be what these recent prosecutions are under Obama - all prescripted settlements with minor fines (relative to the amounts looted) and nobody going to jail (unless they're 'outsiders' - South Asians or such and blatant thiefs like Madoff or Corzine... uh ... scratch that last one)
So the FBI is like Crystal Mangum. Basically out there tempting fools like a slut at a Lacrosse kegger. FBI gets you in the bedroom, slips the hand down your pants and then accuses you of rape. Tax dollars at work! I feel safe.

The only truth in that whole "fact" sheet is the first half of the last line.

"National Security" my puckered ass hole.
The fucks at the F.B.I. are doing nothing but supporting the Kleptoligarchy.
Supporting the Bankster/Insurer/Corporatocracy of the U.S.S.A. and abaondoning the long-forgotten Constitution and the individual citizens of the Republic.
How anyone can work at the F.B.I. without busting Wall Street and Jon Corzine and Angelo Mozillo and Llloyd Blankfein and Jamie Fucking Dimon with a straight face and believing they serve the Nation and The People is beyond me.
The same goes for you spineless fucks in the U.S. Military and the rest of the Law Enforcement and Judiciary.
When the hammer falls on your heads for such a grandiose failure you can only blame yourselves.
Could not have said it better. They are too busy avoiding their taxes, especially the judiciary. The Fed Judge that had the cahonnes to rule against the NSA is the only standup I have noted in the MSM<truth.
"The same goes for you spineless fucks in the U.S. Military and the rest of the Law Enforcement and Judiciary."
Add spineless fucks called American Citizens who are responsible for allowing this crap to get this far.
Constitution?... Individual Citizens of the Republic?...
All I can tell you is that the Rockefellers and the people they put in charge of the hen house in Washington are laughing their asses off at the 40 year experiment and more importantly the illusion they created that made the Almighty USD worth more than the every man and womans soul!
this has been going on since at least the mid 40's....and has the Rothschilds fingerprints all over it....
''Its a wonderful life''
''However, a group convened by J. Edgard Hoover's Los Angeles FBI field office found it to be dangerous propaganda, according to media blog Aphelis.
The anonymous circle of screenwriters targeted both the writers and the film itself. 'It's a Wonderful Life' and other films were targeted under a film regime designed by Ayn Rand, the 'Atlas Shrugged' writer who has become an icon for some libertarian conservatives in recent years, according to Aphelis.
'According to [source name redacted] the writers Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett were very close to known Communists and on one occasion in the recent past... practically lived with known Communists and were observed eating luncheon daily with such Communists as Lester Cole, screenwriter, and Early Robinson, screenwriter,' the FBI document says.
The FBI file also claims that the bureau's screenwriter sources said the film 'deliberately maligned the upper classes, attempting to show the people who had money were mean and despicable characters.'
The screenwriters reporting to the FBI claimed that the film would not have suffered if Mr Potter had been portrayed as simply looking after his bottom line, instead of as an evil, greedy fat cat.''

the propaganda is fricken thick
as long as we're all hollywood/fbi here for the moment- "american hustle" was very good. everybit as good as "wolf" without the excess. highly recomended. worth 7 bucks or torrented 'for your consideration'.
If the FBI was about protecting The People and law enforcement, they would've busted 911 wide open shortly after it occurred, but no, they sold their souls a long time ago and now they're just the hired guns of the oligarchy.
"SA Muldar, we called you to this committee meeting to testify about your waste of funds chasing flying sucers. Is there not any LE work you could do?"
"Yes, Congressman Foghorn, but that would mean arresting all of you. And my bosses. I'll stick with UFOs."
Leave me out of it.
Their mission now is, "National Security," which we all know means full time security apparatus for the entrenched public servants and oligarchs. Can't be about real terrorism because the admin is now arming Al-Qaida like they were the Sinaloa drug cartel or something,
The nation state is on its way out everywhere, especially in the Western world. The reason for nation states was they could field bigger armies, and those no longer enjoy the edge they once did. New technology will level the playing field, so than an individual can protect his assets against consfiscation and other types of violence. A big nation state is no longer needed, also it can't maintain its tax base.
That is very bad news for the political and economic elite, both in the U.S. and in Europe. In Europe, the elite tries to slow down the development back to city states and other smaller entities, by concentrating all power into Brussels. The U.S. elite has responded to this same pressure, by tightening its grip on the citizens. Hence the "Security" apparatus with almost unlimited powers. Another move, a very smart one, was to attack the very reason behind the change. Hence, NSA has been trying to corrupt cryptographic algorithms and destroy citizens' privacy. If the citizens can't hide anything, they can't hide their wealth either, and the nation state can tax them like before.
They will lose, but it is going to get very ugly.
So that must be why they haven't investigated and charged all the CRIME being commited by the large banks and hedge funds. Because they're only TERRORIZING the common people and not the more equal ones.
I thought we had the DSH, TSA, NSA, CIA and a host of other assets working on terrizm. So now we can add the Federal Bullshitting Imbeciles to the list.
Hey, they had two agents chasing UFOs, because I saw it on TV. It was Agent Muldar, I think. What a waste of resources. This has been going on a long time, IMO.
Now, if they have been wasting money on UFOs and Geeks, it does not surprise one to find out they have created these plots. Somebody needs to investigate, but nobody's left.
It's called consolidating assets or Centralization.
Good work, NSA, FBI, CIA and DHS, you cought a potential terrorist:

Oh, wait ...
The FBI in the past initiated criminal investigations that the DOJ was obiliged to prosecute, now no investigation will be allowed into democrat office holders or crony capitalists. With a seven year statute of limitations, many crimes will be grandfathered during a typical 8 year administration.
Hell they don't even call them crimes anymore. They are called "business as usual".
But surely they can claim more funding as a law enforcement agency, after all there are more criminals than terrorists around, that is unless if they know there is going to be another 9/11 soon ...
I often wonder how many of the shills and goons that infect the comments section of this site and many others, are fbi or nsa or tsa or cia or god knows what shadow agency no one even knows about.
I await an answer from one of the many losers that seem to show up when I rarely post. It's kind of funny to see which one is working this shift and has to come up with some dopey reply.
... depressing, but there
must be a lesson to be learned in it.
The FBI is doing God's work. American citizens should be thankful that their government and elected officials always put the safety of its people first
They have provided you with the country's bravest men and women to protect you against evil terrorists who wish to do you harm
I for one am happy to give up all of my privacy if the good people at the NSA will protect me from Al Quada
and the populace buys it hook line and sinker. Brains on loan from God. Oh wait a second. Thats that other guy.
it's is all about the budget and the "money",
evermore. just ask any incumbent or challenging
"representative", any director or administrator.
even children .....
they know exactly , and not, what they do.
it is a mind trance thing and it don't mean
a thing if you ain't got that swing ...

• The FBI does not keep a file on every citizen of the United States. That is a function of the NSA. If we need such a file, they give us full access.
I expect people to be outraged but can anyone be surprised?
https://pathofmusashi.wordpress.com/2014/01/07/winter-shoes/
We are the federalies, we don't need to enforce no stinkin laws!
Go long black ski-masks. There's a play out there you just got to know how to get in the money.
https://pathofmusashi.wordpress.com/2014/01/07/winter-shoes/
This is what's called a "power grab".
"Move along, citizens, nothing to see here. We're just trying to keep up with the joneses (NSA) and stay relevant in the now fully established American police state."
If the FBI was truly committed to stopping terror it would have gone after the members of the elite that were behind 9 11. Building 7s collapse can only be explained by demolition charges and that means 9 11 was an inside job. So in reality the FBI seems to have moved from law enforcement to protecting terrorists.
Get over it, it is a completely normal symptom of fascism.
"national security" is a more impressive-sounding mission than "false-flag event construction"
One thing to remember about this 'terrorist' thing is just how many serious terrorists there are in the world that a) have the means, and b) the intelligence (many of them live in huts and can't even read or write) to actually attack the west.
I'd hazzard a guess the number is between 2,000 - 5,000.
One would think a small budget could keep track of these guys wouldn't you?
So the terrorist threat is massively overblown and the sheeple lap it up all the way into a massive Police state.
I think the number is closer to 300 than 3000. Even al Qaeda was admittedly only 150-170 people. And they don't have the means really. They have no real money. They have to beg rich boys like bin laden to fund an operation.
Now it's become a brand name. A banner or something akin to putting a picture of a dragon on your shield when fighting. So the militants in Syria or Iraq who call themselves "al Qaeda" have almost nothing to do with the group that attacked the US.
Seems like every govt agency has to get in on the national security honeypot.
"b) the intelligence (many of them live in huts and can't even read or write) to actually attack the west."
Such thinking illustrates our own weakness and our own lack of intelligence. Never underestimate a man in a hut.
I thought the military was in charge of national security.
Honestly, I think even the lawyers at the FBI have a hard time justifying the agency. So they went with mission creep.
Maybe they'll reassign FBI agents to work security at airport in place of the TSA. That's national security too, right?
Y'all just cut the anchor chain dumb asses. Without law as a basis for action, concrete ideas born of the ages, you just bought in to the "war on tare" amorphous bullshit. WHICH ideas define your actions now? How do you decide the specifics of "national security". You are now an army of one big asshole! Are you running around looking for concensus views on what is actionable. How much time do you waste following the biggest preening rooster who tells you what to do? How confident are you in your direction?
"law enforcement" is a precise mission description."National security" is the new mission description because it is imprecise, and is effectively the "mission creep" (but on steroids) that got Fan/Fred in trouble.
Gubmint is a cancer, always metastasizing until it is exorcised or it kills the host - the citizenry.
A mass has formed in Mr. Doe's lung....
vague is more actionable than precise
I am Legend, I am Vague!
There are big crimes that are committed all the time about which the public knows absolutely nothing.
Does anyone for instance believe that the only money being printed is just that reported by the Federal Reserve?
Does anyone believe that the people named as enemies by the USA are actually enemies of the elite?
Does anyone believe that it isn't possible for the USA to produce an audited set of accounts?
Of course the FBI is going to work for the puppeteers. After all, the puppeteers have a lot more money riding on the "outcome" than the rest of us. What would we be doing if we were in their position and scared for both of our assets and our lives?
It's a bizzaro world and the results may prove to be even more bizzaro when the fat lady sings.
re What would we be doing if we were in their position and scared for both of our assets and our lives?
Pssttt... forget about them: if you are not scared for both your assets and your life - then you haven't been paying attention.
You and I need to understand that the people who run and control the FBI and all the other alphabet soup organisations, simply have fears like the rest of us. They might also be psychopaths, scammers, control freaks and the rest, but they still have fears and the way they try to placate those fears is through controlling the apparatus of courts, police, security agencies, congress and banks.
As for worrying about my life and assets, yes I do, but not overly so because there is the danger that fear will intimidate us more than reality to the point that life loses its meaning and spontaneity.
We have to accept that these agencies have the means to destroy each one of us individually either through real or contrived evidence and through legal or illegal means.
At the same time we have to recognise that there are a great many people working in these organisations who DO have a conscience and a sense of resposnibility to their fellow citizens and their nation.
"At the same time we have to recognise that there are a great many people working in these organisations who DO have a conscience and a sense of resposnibility to their fellow citizens and their nation"
And are afraid of acting on said conscience or Snowden would have much company.
they select the reptiles that work there, extensive backrounds and testing...so your statement is nonsense.
"recognise that there are a great many people working in these organisations who DO have a conscience and a sense of resposnibility to their fellow citizens and their nation."
assets? What are assets?
correct - make that ass'es ;)
"Does anyone believe that the people named as enemies by the USA are actually enemies of the elite?
Does anyone believe that it isn't possible for the USA to produce an audited set of accounts"
Yes
Chertoff strikes again.
What would the US be without the Bill of Rights, maybe the UK. A true police state in every respect.

Feel free to join in.
Do you really think they would have writ the 2nd the same way if they knew that one day one man and a machine gun could wipe them off the map in a second? I think not, it is pure sin that slowly developed and handed us the situation we are currently in, pure and unadulterated SIN. Now where do u fit in?
They were more clever than you can imagine. Tyranny is borne out of power over others. Without this guarantee the founders would have ensured tyranny. Take your subversion elswhere.
Becuase the U.S. citizen is the new terrorist! OR least will be considered as such for a convienent excuse because the reality is the average US citizen makes a sheep look brave and honorable.
It is how they justify not arresting obvious criminals in banking and government. They have to tell themselves that it is not their job. What a disgrace. The FBI is a complete and utter digrace.
Nothing is more terrifying to any state then it's citizens. Hence all citizens are terrorists.
"The FBI does not keep a file on every US citizen."
Is that suppose to relieve us of the feeling of being watched? I never thought they had files on EVERY US citizen as some are newborns. I figure they don't start a file till 10 years of age, unless of course, you happen to get suspended for making a play gun with your hand.
They don't need to keep a file! They just call the NSA and have one run!
You ought to see the fortress the FBI built not 10 miles from where I live. I mean a fortress! it is a multi-building compound with 12' high walls, security gates, cameras on every corner. The tallest building is right in the center, just like medieval times. This fucker is right behind a shopping center. Projecting the power of the federal government. It is increadibly creepy.
Oh, I mean... I feel so safe now!
Eric Holder has been abusive to the Constitution and his oath of office
just as his mentor, BHO has.
He has waived polling violations ala the Philly Black Panthers.
He has allowed guns to be run, untraced, into Mexico
He has waived the federal laws against marajuana in CO and other states.
Where do these people get off doing such things against their oath to uphold
the laws of the nation? Where do they get off fundamentally altering the mission
of the FBI? And the Federal Reserve for that matter???
Yeah but who's gonna prosecute the top cop in the land? Our worthless DO NOTHING CONgress? Good luck with that!
Don't forget Holder was Attorney General under BILL CLINTON.
Those tentacles all belong to the same octopus...
Freedom — I won't.
Obama/Holder are employees of the Sinaloa cartel and the FBI makes sure no action is taken on intel that can prevent a terrorist attack. Did the FBI ever get to interrogate any Benghazi perps... of course not... they got their information from newspaper reporters who did. This administration is busy violating USSA cits rights and playing games with the muslim brotherhood/al queda, just like we did with bin laden...Maybe the NSA would like to explain why the intercepted call between Al Zawahiri and the Benghai perps was not acted on prior to the attack? Just let it flow...it keeps the dual purpose gestapo tactics in the homeland justified...make sure no government biggies are hit and fuck the people... plus if the people get out of hand we can crush them... in that arena they will be proactive. Exactly what did J Nap do with 2 billion hollow point bullets anyhow...?
congress is asleep at the wheel and not checking and balancing as the constitition intended....
CONgress people are being intimidated/blackmailed with n$@ data?
Why keep a file when one can call the NSA and have one with full algorithmically structured queries creating exact histories of movement and word sent over?
