Why People Don't Trust The FBI

 By Warren.

As most of you know, I live in Indiana. Several years ago, in Indiana, if you had a license to carry a concealed weapon, you could walk into a gun store and buy a pistol or long gun only having to fill out the required Federal form -- ATF Form 4473 -- and you could walk out with the firearm.

This was normal, and you had already gone through the local police, been fingerprinted, gone through a background check, submitted 3 personal recommendations attesting to character, a State police check, and an FBI background check. At that time, an FBI check meant that they would have to search written records -- if you had a file/record. The process would take -- at the very least --  a month. In my case it took longer.

The reason for that delay?  I had an FBI record, so someone would have to physically find the record and see what was in it. The reason I had a record?  I had a secret security clearance, and my entire life had been researched by the FBI before the clearance was granted. 

Several years later, the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) was instituted, and I bought a .22 caliber rifle at a gun show. Even though I had a license to carry a concealed weapon, the sale was put on hold for 3 days before I could acquire the rifle. The rule was the FBI had to respond within 3 days or the purchase could go through.

Things in Indiana are different now. I no longer even need a license to carry concealed -- although I have one. Getting a license was the reason I started to become curious about the FBI.

Later on, there were Ruby Ridge, the Branch Davidians, the ruination of Richard Jewell, Clivan Bundy, Dr Steven J Hatill and several other incidents that pointed out the shabbiness and extralegal operations of the FBI.  All that shabbiness and the various extralegal operations of the FBI are why I don't trust the FBI -- or, for that matter, any other agency of the Government.

I came across a series of articles from The Capital Research Center, an investigative think tank that was "established in 1984 to examine how foundations, charities, and other nonprofits spend money and get involved in politics and advocacy, often in ways that donors never intended and would find abhorrent." 

See a culmination of several articles with links to other articles related to the FBI.

Read it or remain ignorant.  

Your choice.

  1. The FBI, like many of the alphabets, is largely unaccountable. One point in their defense: At least they tried to hold the liar McCabe accountable, but Biden's JustUs Department did Andy a large, and now he pontificates on CNN.

  2. There is corruption and malfeasance in every government agency, from federal to local...so this isn't a surprise to anyone who's paid attention. I'd argue that on average, you'd find more corruption in local law enforcement than federal.

    But having an easily targetable, central boogeyman is the natural 'enemy'. Hell, the rubes even invented an umbrella boogeyman to launch their rage at, justified or not.

    1. True enough. Here in my county a formerly very respected sheriff was found to have been a serial abuser, corrupt, and advanced the careers of women who *ahem * fulfilled his wishes.

      It all came out, he was prosecuted, and the sheriff's department got a thorough house cleaning.

      Related to this, with the proliferation of everyone carrying a camera in their pocket, our eyes have been open to what minority and poor communities have been telling us for decades: there are corrupt police officers, and in cases like New Orleans if anyone remembers, entire corrupt police departments.

      So we see corruption at the local level, but then we also see prosecutions and house cleanings because the evil doings were exposed.

      The days of the local corrupt official or rich person running everything and stifling everything are over.

      We never see such exposures and house cleaning in any federal agency.

  3. Read your thoughts, Warren and the link is a great one! My view is jaundiced because of one event: the Garland attack at the Geller event. I was there as a member of the press corps along with Fox News, etc. To later find out that an F.B.I. agent had told the men to "Tear up Texas" and was busy filming the whole thing disgusted me on a very deep level. One individual was shot - but by friendly fire. What if the beautiful, young red-headed girl had been killed in the melee?
    For the record: I also harbor concern that the agency is used as a domestic political weapon. Remind me of the date of the raid on the Clinton manse, and I might change my mind.

      The threat of ruination by IRS is second only perhaps to ruination by threat of federal prosecution.

      Would that make it any less legitimate.

      People put tags on things all the time. Anti-Trumpers, including those in the press, declaring themselves "The Resistance" was a little overblow dont'cha think? Not to include disrespectful of real people who sacrificed everything to fight an actual resistance.

      She was there, she reported on it and she can title it anything she wishes irregardless of the opinions of hack preachers who think they have the 'inside track'.

  4. For quite a while now, we have been in an era of rule of power. A cynic would say, well, it's always been rule of power, our government just dressed it up as rule of law.

    Our federal government wields awesome and fearsome power, and both parties have become more willing over the past decades to brutally employ it. That is why elections are so hotly contested

    2. Cynic. The astute observer is the Kynic.

      from The New Yorker...

      In 1983, a few years after his return, Sloterdijk published a thousand-page book that has sold more copies than any other postwar book of German philosophy. The title, “The Critique of Cynical Reason,” seemed to promise a cheeky update of Kant’s “Critique of Pure Reason,” but the book instead delivered a wildly personal polemic about the deterioration of the utopian spirit of 1968 and called for Sloterdijk’s generation to take stock of itself. His peers, as they reached middle age, were pragmatically adjusting to global capitalism and to the nuclear stalemate of the Cold War. He issued a challenge to readers to scour history and art for ways of overcoming social atomization. Punning on Kant’s concept of the thing-in-itself, he asked, “Have we not become the isolated thing-for-yourself in the middle of similar beings?”

      The antidote to cynicism, he suggested, was a re-immersion in the heritage of the Cynics of ancient Greece. He looked to the philosopher Diogenes, who rejected the social conventions that governed human behavior and said that people should live instinctively, like dogs. The word “cynic” comes from the Greek kynikos, meaning “doglike,” and Sloterdijk coined the term “kynicism” to differentiate Diogenes’ active assault on prevailing norms from the passive disengagement of the late twentieth century. He celebrated the direct way that Diogenes made his points—masturbating in the marketplace, defecating in the theatre—and suggested that the answer to his generation’s malaise was to repurpose the spontaneous currents of sixties counterculture.

      The book caught a moment and made philosophy seem both relevant and fun, beguiling readers with arguments about the philosophical import of breasts and farts. But although it made Sloterdijk’s name, he remained an academic outsider, drifting from post to post for almost a decade. His response was to dismiss those who dismissed him—“Their codes and rituals are reliably antithetical to thought,” he told me—and to forge his reputation instead with articles in magazines and newspapers. He received job offers from America, but it was becoming clear that he was by nature a gadfly—that he and Germany needed each other because they agitated each other so much.

      Can you understand, even while not agreeing, but can you understand how some people can look at events over the years and perceive a bias?"

      Yes SF, I understand that mainly in the last 6 years (albeit a phenomenon), that some people, in fact many people, can look at events and actions and perceive a bias in government institutions.

      What's mind boggling to me is how this cult, and the good conservative/liberal hating roundtable café coffee sippers such as you included, can allow themselves to be persuaded by the think tanks to belly up for free drinks at the Propaganda Saloon and ork like trained seals to their piper's tune.

      The assaults on government institutions have been taken to new levels from the post Sharpie welder in-chief. Thing is, these folks that are looking and perceiving a bias honestly believe Biden is an illegitimated president occupying a seat he stole from Trump and attempting to use illegitimated powers to incarcerate the man they are convinced rightfully and legitimately won the Presidency.

      That's what these Tucker swigging indoctrinated basket of gullibles and misguided misfits actually believe.

      So yeah, I get it that some folks see what they want to see, regardless of the big picture of what is true and what isn't true.

    1. Was the Mar-A-Lago raid related...?

      President Trump’s Memorandum issued on January 19, 2021:

      “At my request, on December 30, 2020, the Department of Justice provided the White House with a binder of materials related to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation. Portions of the documents in the binder have remained classified and have not been released to the Congress or the public. I requested the documents so that a declassification review could be performed and so I could determine to what extent materials in the binder should be released in unclassified form.

      I hereby declassify the remaining materials in the binder. This is my final determination under the declassification review and I have directed the Attorney General to implement the redactions proposed in the FBI’s January 17 submission and return to the White House an appropriately redacted copy.”

    2. Seems Congress knew about this...

      The CIA and FBI have implemented a number of reforms and new procedures at the CIA that are designed to detect the slightest of early warning signs of espionage. As a direct result of these reforms, anomalies were detected that ultimately led to the identification of Nicholson and his alleged espionage activities. These reforms include:

      The Chief of CIA's Counterespionage Group is a senior FBI official who has full access to CIA's most sensitive counterintelligence data and is thus in a position to fully coordinate the joint efforts of both organizations.

      The Chief of CIA's Counterespionage Group is assisted by deputies from both the security and operational disciplines at CIA and has at least one FBI Special Agent on the Counterespionage Group staff full-time.

      Section 811 of the Fiscal Year 1995 Intelligence Authorization Act requires immediate notification to the FBI whenever there are indications that classified information may have been disclosed without authorization to a foreign power.

      The position of Associate Deputy Director of Operations/Counterintelligence was created to ensure high-level focus on the Agency's counterintelligence and counterespionage effort. The Associate Deputy Director of Operations/Counterintelligence's duties include full-time coordination with the FBI, currently including weekly meetings with senior FBI officials in the FBI's National Security Division.

      New training initiatives to enhance and improve counterespionge efforts have been undertaken.
      Congress has provided increased resources for joint counterespionage efforts.

  17. Classifications marks of original official documents don't magically disappear just because they have been declassified. They remain.

    On another note, the government is notoriously remiss in declassifying any document. Not just our government either. There are still many documents from WW2 that haven't been declassified even though they are not relevant except for historical reference.

  18. Even Presidents can't declassify certain things, like the names of deployed spies (remember the left tried to "gotcha" Bush with Valerie Plame, who was not deployed) and national nuclear weapons and technology secrets.

    If that's what Trump was holding on to, the Justice Department should go ahead and announce their death penalty case against him.

    Presidents can classify and declassify and reclassify just about anything except the identities of our spies and nuclear secrets. Biden could say "everything Trump walked out of the White House with is classified / reclassified" and Trump would be screwed.

    But the search warrant itself lists three laws that don't require the information and files Trump stole to be classified or to have ever been classified. It's enough that he stole them and was found to have been in possession of them. Maybe he faces prison for that. If it was nuclear secrets or compromised deployed intelligence agents, get the gallows ready and hang the bastard.

    "What about" enforcing the law indeed. No Trumpster really wants that.

    4. False. The US President (any US President) while in office does not have such powers to legally expose US intelligence assets, military or nuclear secrets. The President is not free to commit treason or sedition. Should some foreign power or domestic uprising threaten to overthrow the US government, the Constitution does not even give the President the power to cede territory or surrender. The President certainly does not even have prima nocta powers lol. There are checks and balances in the US government. Congress funds, denies, and overrides Presidential vetoes at their leisure, as it should be, as they *make the laws.* They make the treaties, they make the rules. Not a mere President. Don't get it twisted. Power in the United States never has been and never will be in the hands of just one person. The US government doesn't even have to spy on its own citizens. They can have the UK, Canada, Australia, or New Zealand do that for them in a quid pro quo.

    6. "You want to be a nation of laws? Then either enforce the laws equally, or repeal them."

      Yes, that's exactly what has happened, and there's not a damned thing wrong with it. If you want so badly to try and convict someone, come up with evidence and witnesses that actually exist outside your imagination.

      That's how the rule of law works.

      Guilty until proven innocent is not the American way.

      Guilty even after having been proven innocent, the standard you seem to desire, would be bizarre in even the most totalitarian regimes on Earth.

    9. As required by the PRA, former President Obama has no control over where and how NARA stores the Presidential records of his Administration.

      You really should read your own links.more carefully and for comprehension, lol.

    10. pps - Good luck seeing any of these "NARA owned" Obama documents. It literally takes YEARS for a FOIA request to get answered for one.

    11. pps - Look at the Press Release date. Misinformation has a mother, and it's the deep state bureaucracy.

    12. Obama has been hiding these documents from the public on the pretense of digitizing them for over five years now five eyes.

    13. How many have been digitized? Zero.

    14. pps - Does that letter mentioned above sound like "no control" to you?

    15. Yes, it sounds precisely like Obama has no control over where and how NARA stores records. Hence, he had to send a letter and make a request. English is a wonderful language.

      Meanwhile, Team Trump's own internal communications verified the existence of the Russian PeePee Tapes long before Michael Steele reported the rumor of them.

      So Trump likes to be peed on. Weird, but okay. Apparently he's shamed enough to hawk classified information to the Russians to keep the tapes unreleased.

  19. @ Five Eyes,
    Seriously? You're going to cite Roger Sollenberger?
    Let me help you out a little. There are lies, damned lies, Roger Sollenberger and TDS. You seem to be suffering from the last.

  20. Pretty sure Sollenberger is not the only one vindicated by the Mueller Report revelations that Team Trump was scrambling to stop the Russians from releasing their compromising tapes of Trump getting pissed on by Moscow hookers long before Michael Steele came along and added to the counterintelligence probe into Trump's ties to Russia.

    You can "read it or remain ignorant," but you can't explain away the efforts of Trump's inner circle making efforts to stop the Russians from releasing something that allegedly wouldn't exist.

    Think about it. Suppose someone told you that they have a video of you having sex with a baby rhinoceros. Do you have your people fight to keep the tape from being released, or do you sit comfortably in the knowledge that you've never had sex with a rhinoceros, baby or otherwise?

    Team Trump scrambled to squash a nothing? Really? How is that logical?

    To quote Sollenberger. "I know the Trump Piss Tape exists. Aristotle told me."

  21. Slander and libel laws exist, and Trump is litigious if anything.

    Why hasn't Trump tried to sue both Christopher Steele and every major media outlet on the planet?

    Psst. It's because Trump sent his own team out to stop the Russians from releasing videos of Russian hookers pissing on him.

  22. Defamation lawsuits brought by "public figures", reach an almost level of burden of proof and are almost always dismissed out of hand. That's why you never actually see them. They are a waste of time, money and resources.
    Funny thing about the "pee pee tape". No one claims to have it and no one will claim, under oath, to have actually seen it. Only claims that someone else saw it and told them about it. The original claim came from a Russian and apparent Russian asset that was the basis for the fraudulent "Trump Collusion" hoax and admitted that he had never seen such a tape and was a claim of one of his "contacts". He is presently under indictment on other Federal charges.
    Don't bother to reply, you are a waste of my time.
