Why the FBI has always sucked

Saturday, February 3, 2018

Nothing is more hypocritical than hearing progressives defending the FBI.

This is especially true for older progressives that serve in Congress who have lived long enough to know better, but now need the FBI to make their case when in the past, we were usually the target of FBI abuse.

This historic level of stupidity is made even more blatant now that the GOP has released a memo every Democrat is trying to discredit, partly because it lays bare just how additionally vicious, sneaky and unethical the Hillary Clinton Campaign was when she ran for president.

The memo – which was approved by the FBI before its release, but apparently caused high level Democrat-connected FBI officials to freak out – showed the real roots of the Russian conspiracy, and how Clinton and the Democrats paid for research that allowed the FBI to begin spying on the Trump campaign – information media, the Democrats and questionable intel officials later used to claim the FBI had had wind of a Russian plot long before the Clinton campaign crashed and burned in November.

This is called – in police vernacular – planting evidence, and goes a long way to discrediting the Mueller investigation which even before was questionably wrapped up with conflicts that included personal vendettas and connections to the Democratic Party.

In the Wizard of Oz, this is the part where the curtain gets ripped away and we get to see just how the mechanisms of the fake investigation works.

But to hear progressives howl about how the memo is a disservice to the FBI is the worst part, since from the beginning, the FBI has historically been used as a vehicle against progressives – from union busting and anti-communist days in the 1930s to operations against anti-war protesters in the 1960s.

The FBI haunted John Lennon, and secretly invaded offices of the black panthers, the Weather Underground, and did as much as possible to destroy alternative press – some of which I worked for in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

When I served in the United States Army, FBI hunted down deserters – often bringing them back bleeding and with broken bones, as well as people who fled the draft.

The FBI has history of illegal wire taps and creating secret lists of enemies – on which some of my friends were listed. Indeed, recently, when I sent an email with a picture of Bill Clinton attached to one of these former radicals a few years ago, the FBI intercepted it.

When I ran and underground newspaper in the 1980s, the FBI tried to infiltrate it, and that same operative eventually became a stooge reporting on the activities of WBAI in New York.

When Ronald Reagan was running against Jimmy Carter for president, former members of the FBI operated behind the scenes to secretly negotiate with Iran for the release of the hostages behind the back of the Justice Department and President Carter, showing just how unethical the FBI can be even when dealing with its own bureaucracy.

Now, when the FBI colludes with the Democratic Party to plant evidence of a phony Russian Conspiracy, progressives who ought to know better suddenly make this unlawful enforcement agency over into a pack of saints.

Every progressive congressman I know is sending me messages telling me how terrible a thing this is that someone should finally pull open the curtain and reveal just how horrible a group of people the FBI is.

This is a body that would be better compared with ICE than with saints, a group as secretive and unethical as all intelligence agencies are, and clearly operating on behalf of former President Obama, who gave them and other intelligence agencies the license to kill (in some cases literally).

The fact that progressives are defending a group that has long targeted them, show just how pathetic modern progressives are or perhaps dishonest, interesting more in maintaining or regaining power than in truth or justice.

But then, progressive of today differ from those of the past, leaving a stench of self-righteousness wherever they go, even though as this memo makes clear, they do exactly the same unethical things they accuse their opponents of doing.
