(9,216 posts)showed the pattern of reactionary power using agent provocateurs to stage 'left' attacks, over a hundred years ago. Anarchist groups warned their rank and file that Czolgosz (from the McKinley assassination), and Berkman (from the Frick assassination 'attempt'), were agent provocateurs, before those men staged their attacks.
These people are always 'making enemies'. They use our tax dollars to put people like Noriega, Osama, Hussein, Mobutu into power. Then when these bad guys outlive their usefullness, they call them 'enemies', and use our tax dollars to attack and get rid of them. The reactionary chicken hawks don't care about how many of our troops get killed or maimed in the process. The populations that had to live under the US backed strongmen, for decades, know who put them in, and feel very unfriendly toward our country. The collateral damage caused while taking the bad guys out doesn't make those populations feel any friendlier. Making enemies.
The same reactionary power operates domestically, continually motivating and logistacally 'supporting' these high profile 'attempted terror attacks' that their security apparatus 'thwarts', so the feds are fabricating or making 'enemies'. We foot the bill. Then in their paranoid reactionary minds they imagine that any average citizen who uses constitutional rights to oppose their misuse of our gov's apparatus is a potential enemy, making enemies (in their paranoid minds) of non-violent dissenting citizens.
"...The original job of the FBI was to prevent interstate crime, the foremost practitioners of which are the Mafia. But in the years of Hoover the Mafia grew into a crime cartel and an FBI arrest of a Mafia member was rare except on the FBI radio programs and, later, television shows. Hoover himself kept announcing that he did not believe there was any such thing as the Mafia... he regarded Communist literature on 14th Street in New York as far more dangerous than narcotics on 108th Street. So many FBI agents penetrated the Communist Party that meeting halls became referred to as 'the squad room'."
