Atlanta Olympics, 1996:

An overweight security guard Richard Jewell finds a bomb in a crowded Atlanta park, an act of terror. He alerts the cops, but the bomb goes off and a desperate Bill Clinton facing a reelection bid ORDERS the FBI to simplify things by making Richard Jewell the perp.

Knowing Richard Jewell revers “real cops” the FBI brings him in for questioning, finally pretending to relent and accept his story of innocence. They then flattered him and lowered his guard by chatting him up in grand style like A Law Enforcement Colleague.

The FBI then claimed to Jewell that they were making a Training Videotape simulation in which a perp under questioning breaks down and confresses to a bombing, “Ah shucks, our actor crapped out, got sick, say Richard, would ya help us FBI guys out..?”

A micrometer away from consenting to help them with their “training video”, Jewell suddenly realizes if he cooperated with “his friends”, they might turn around use the tape against him in the world famous bombing that just transpired.

He calls his ex-roomate, a lawyer, who admonishes Jewell that he’s in very grave danger. He leaves the FBI questioning and AVOIDS LIFE IN PRISON BY A WHISKER.

YOUR FBI IS **FINE** ACTING AS AN INSTRUMENT OF POLITICAL TERROR.

It started at least 20 years ago.

Mr. Eastwood is just batting them out of the park...

I saw the movie.

I loved it.

I’d recommend it to any Freeper.

Very good review by LS. Thanks for posting.

Actor left, real right

This is better than “The Empty Chair”.

The exact blast time: Known with great precision

The exact 911 call time: Known with great precision

If HE had been the perp, he would have to BE in those two locations at those times, right?

Yet he would have had to be an Olympic SPRINTER to have been the person to call 911 with the threats, and then then be near the subsequent blast.

Even after the looked into that basic fact, they did not stop.

Unfortunately, the film has been bombing in the box office. I am taking my wife to see if this afternoon, and we haven’t gone to a theater to watch a movie since our children were kids (they are all grown with their own kids now).

If you are listening/watching this thread Larry.

The moment the movie started I began to think about Richard Jewell and how strong of a man he must have been to survive the onslaught he endured.

I immediately began to mentally compare him to Trump and his strength to deal with the entire govt. and media lined up against him every day.

Excellent review, but haven’t seen the movie.

I’ve *never* had confidence in many federal institutions. I would never openly talk to LE about anything of import unless I knew the LE really well. I think many of them have contempt for the Constitution and BOR. And I say this as a Christian and a conservative.

Dr. Bruce Ivins, senior biodefense guy at Fort Detrick, author of two anthrax patents --basically a genius microbiolgist. He was born in a small town in Ohio, his dad was a pharmacist.

Let's take a gander at juuuust how crazy Ivins was as a youth, shall we..?

Dang, get off that microscope, Buddy Holly, wow.

You know that expression, "The man was a CHOIR BOY"..? Kay, Dr. Ivins WAS an actual choir boy. Based on the above mini-bio that should not surprise you. He married a nursing student and had two kids.

He got interested in macrophages, then anthrax and received the "Decoration for Exceptional Civilian Service" — the highest award given to Defense Department civilian employees.

The Feds tried to pin the anthrax mystery on Steven Hatfill, who got pissed and won $6 mil for it, probably something that got some folks in trouble. The head of the FBI ROBERT MULLER, who at that point probably wasn't leaving the blinker on and drooling quite so much at the Bingo Parlor, then tried to ping the whole anthrax mystery onto Buddy Holly, here.

Get out..! ROBERT MULLER did that...?! Yeah, I know, it's sooooo shocking, right?

The Feds figgered it was simply self-interest; the guy had originated the tech to fight anthrax, so an outbreak of it would be something that would put fortunes and the limelight onto him, right? Like a paunchy security guard "finding" a bomb --simple. Same song, different lyrics.

Weird thing is THIS anthrax was tinier than anything in either the Soviet or US inventories, this meant in air it would have great LOFT TIME, it would stay up in the air near breathing mouths, not settle down on the ground where it might be harmless. And the anthrax also featured anti-clumping silica on it --something also very high-tech.

WHOSE was it? They still don't know.

The Feds followed Dr. Ivins around, raided his house twice and the pressure by the Feds was so great they drove him nuts and finally killed himself.

You know what the defense of the Feds was?

"Hey, he was NUTS..."

YA LIKE THAT..?

Time after time the preferred political narrative is "Peace And Prosperity" but the Feds are under pressure to make a case go away, so they just pin it on somebody nearby, and they wad it up, call it solved, and throw it into the garbage:

Case closed.

THAT is your FBI; deeply politicized and unprofessional.

Find a bomb? RUN and keep quiet. And if you have a really sharp head on your shoulders you better reconsider helping the feds with defense:

You could most unfortunately "go nuts and kill yourself".

Good job, Larry. Will definitely see that movie now.

RIP Richard Jewell. I’m sorry you never got to see this vindication for yourself.

Thanks gaijin and ls. This is a little unusual, okay, it's a lot unusual, for a modern history topic to be used for a GGG ping, and a GGG Digest ping to boot, but we never forget, FR is a political forum.

i thought of POTUS - and Carter Page - and Gen Flynn - and Geo Papadopoulos - who all have had reason to doubt the nature of the heart of this country.

When it comes out on bluray I'll be buying it..without a doubt.

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks for re posting this terrible photographic history.

The murders of these innocents were under the command of Bill Clinton and his bull dyke AG, Jake/Janet Reno.

Wasn’t Mueller the investigator? What a coincidence... he seems to always be on the wrong side of things.
