Who wants to place bets on the fact that the mole thought up the idea to begin with? That seems to be the modus now.

It would be nice if the FBI could spend a little effort on trying to prevent serious crime. The sum total of crime carried out by the militia movement approaches zero.

I'd suggest that they spend a little less time trying to infiltrate militias and a lot more time trying to sting members of our hopelessly corrupt government.

Or maybe a little time/effort infiltrating the Wahabbist madrasses around the country?

I can just imagine that scene out of "Team America". "Durka durka mohammed jihad?"

Yeah, because a paid fibbie snitch would never lie.......

Oh for the ignorance of the whacknuts. Dost they not know that they will always be infiltrated.

I read somewhere (online a few years ago) that something like 40% of ALL militia members are paid informants for "Da Feds" and the like. As its been suppositioned (sp?) the amount of 'agitation' by these people who, in one respect remind me of the STASI in East Germany (those of you who remember Germany used to be East and West during the Cold War).

That the STASI files, when finally opened after the crash of the "wall" something like 80% of the civilian population had been co-opted into informants for their political masters. Wifes reporting on Husbands and vice versa.... This is part in parcel as to why reconcilliation has been rather unsucessfull (sp) in the reintergration of the former East into the 'Greater Germany,' as NO ONE in the East trusts ANYONE and for good reason.

What with the constant media blitz against the tea party and the rest, is it any wonder that the timing of this raid on a 'supposed insurrectionist group' comes at a time when the current occupants of the Hill and WH need a 'right wing boogieman' in order to alleviate, nay distract from the recent revalations of the Obamacare fiasco-in-the-making? Just sayin' the timing on this and the utilization of a bunch of "Christian" wannabe revolutionaries doth not make a revolution, rather a bunch of "ig'nint" rednecks with guns talking a good story, and trying to puff up their rather dead end lives with the theory that "They are THE CHOSEN."

From a PURELY military tactical/strategic outside observation, this plan of theirs wouldn't've worked. Case in point in 2006 in Polk County FL. a Deputy was shot and killed by an assailant who was subsequently hunted down in a manhunt that defied a 'normal manhunt.' I was home on R&R and saw the first hand TV accounts showing the Hillsborough County Sheriff's M-113A3 APC and squads of Deputies in SWAT gear literally using straight-from-the-Field manual FM 3-21.71 Mechanized Infantry Platoon and Squad (Bradley) tactics. For these people to think that they would have successfully E&E'd from the intial contact, and THEN been able to utilize guerilla warefare/terror attacks on the funeral is laughable on it's face. (Also: Side note... what the HELL does the sherriff need a M-113A3 APC withh turret mounted M-240s? Not only that but where the hell did they get it? Oh yes! the FedGov has beefed up local law enforcement so Officer Friendly is now more apropriately looking like one of Ahhh-nuld's Commandos in "Predator" just sayin there too...)

All in all, my call: A 'plant' ne' "Weed" projected a course of action to a bunch of soft like minded individuals, and then allowed said "Snowball Effect" to take place, where then, the FedGov Cops could step in and 'pluck the conspiracy' when and if ever needed, thereby allowing whoever was in charge to claim that they NEED to further crack down on any and all opposition to their agenda, be it whatever "it" is at the time.

Yeah, the discovery phase of the case is going to be a royal ball of worms.

Prosecution: "We will show that the defendants were planning on doing X"
Defense: "We want to see every single recorded conversation Piatek had with any branch of law enforcement for the last ten years. Because we can show reasonable doubt on your premise by showing Piatek had reason to lie about my clients and encourage them to these actions with the intent of earning money."

A 'plant' ne' "Weed" projected a course of action to a bunch of soft like minded individuals, and then allowed said "Snowball Effect" to take place, where then, the FedGov Cops could step in and 'pluck the conspiracy' when and if ever needed, thereby allowing whoever was in charge to claim that they NEED to further crack down on any and all opposition to their agenda, be it whatever "it" is at the time.

The only thing you forgot is SPLC...

Obama's first false flag op!
How cute.
Our little dictator is growing up.
No doubt he got advice on how to do it from Bubba Clinton.
