Could the Feds Have Been Involved in the New Orleans Jihad Massacre?

Would they do such a thing?

Trust in our government has lowered to the point that some people are suggesting that the New Orleans jihad massacre was aided and abetted, or even concocted, by the feds in order to stir up unrest as Trump prepares to return to the presidency, or to create a pretext for some other action. Some of those who are making suggestions of this kind, such as Candace Owens, just want to find some plausible way to blame Jews, or to claim that it’s all in the service of trying to get the U.S. involved in a war in the Middle East on behalf of Israel. Those types, including Owens herself, tend to downplay or deny outright the reality of Islamic jihad, preferring to see virtually all the workings of the wide world as the puppet show of the all-powerful and ever-unseen Zionists. Still, would the feds really get involved in a jihad plot to kill Americans? Sure.

No one really knows for sure, except the conspirators, if there are any, whether or not the feds are involved. And jihad is real, as the news out of Africa, Asia and Europe shows daily. Still, the question must be asked: would the feds really aid and abet a jihad terror attack? Have they really become that corrupt and compromised? And the answer is: yes. Of course they would, and yes, they’re that corrupt. The evidence for this fact lies in their behavior at the Muhammad Art Exhibit and Cartoon Contest that Pamela Geller and I organized in May, 2015.

The Daily Beast wrote in August 2016 about how this undercover FBI agent encouraged the jihadis. The Beast’s Katie Zavadski wrote: “Days before an ISIS sympathizer attacked a cartoon contest in Garland, Texas, he received a text from an undercover FBI agent. ‘Tear up Texas,’ the agent messaged Elton Simpson days before he opened fire at the Draw Muhammad event, according to an affidavit (pdf) filed in federal court Thursday.”

This was not entrapment. Simpson and his partner Nadir Soofiwere determined jihadis who had scouted out other targets. Simpson, along with Soofi and another jihadi, Abdul Malik Abdul Kareem, who supplied weapons to the pair and helped train them, sought information about pipe bombs and plotted to attack the Super Bowl, and planned to go to Syria to join the Islamic State (ISIS), long before anyone told him to “tear up Texas.”

But what was the FBI’s game in telling them to do that? Why didn’t they have a phalanx of agents in place, ready to stop the attack? Or did they want the attack to succeed, so that Barack Obama’s vow that “the future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam” would be vividly illustrated, and intimidate any other Americans who might be contemplating defending the freedom of speech into silence?

We twice asked the FBI for an investigation into this matter. They ignored us, of course. On Thursday in The Federalist, that publication’s elections correspondent, Brianna Lyman, recalled some of the curiosities of the Garland attack, about which the feds have maintained their silence for nine years now. Lyman wrote: “Radical Islamist terrorist Shamsud-Din Jabbar plowed his truck through a crowd in New Orleans in the wee hours of the New Year, murdering 15 and injuring dozens. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is now leading the investigation — the same agency in which an agent once encouraged a radical Islamist terrorist to ‘tear up Texas.’”

Lyman noted that “in 2015, local Texas police thwarted what would have been a massive terrorist attack in Garland, Texas. The saga began when the Islamic State recruited Erick Jamal Hendricks, a North Carolina man, who later befriended an undercover FBI agent. Hendricks connected the FBI agent to radical Islamist terrorist Elton Simpson.”

Lyman also pointed out that “during initial discussions between Simpson and the undercover FBI agent — who has never been named in government documents — the agent told Simpson to ‘tear up Texas’ after Simpson made the agent aware of an alleged blasphemous Muhammad cartoon contest to be held at the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland.” Simpson and Soofi then drove eight hours from Phoenix, Arizona to Garland, and opened fire in the parking lot outside our event just as it was ending.

Lyman states: “The FBI agent was present at the attack and later told Hendricks — who was not present at the attack — that he was Hendricks’ ‘eyes’ that day.” Also: “Trenton Roberts, a lawyer for security guard Bruce Joiner (who was injured in the attack), reportedly said he was ‘convinced that there is much more to this story than the FBI has admitted.’”

Oh yeah. No doubt about that. And now the same agency is going to tell us the full truth about what happened in New Orleans. How reassuring.

“...or to create a pretext...”

“Pretext” should be a civics class in and of itself in today’s America.

People who are at bottom honest/earnest are typically simultaneously ignorant of pretext, and vulnerable to the evil people among us who shamelessly make liberal use of it.

It is odd they said it was not a terror attack while they were still collecting bodies.

Shamsud-Din Jabbar killed the stepson of Prince William and Prince Harry’s former nanny ..

Jabbar, who had an Islamic state flag flying on the back of his truck.

It’s a crazy world and it can be hard to know who to believe.

There is a lot to like about Candace Owens. For example, early on (I think), she appeared in a White Lives Matter shirt. However, if her concerns are more about Jews than about Muslims, I have to say no. There has just been too much evidence of Muslim terrorism to ignore.

As for, control of the world conspiracy theories, I put the Jews in the same category of the Freemasons, a little more likely than the Stonecutters from the Simpsons.

Elon is pushing the Muslim/Left pedophilia narrative on X. I don’t need another reason to oppose either Muslims or the left. Pedophilia accusations, most likely false, have been an excuse for government murder in the past. Nonetheless, there are unmistakable indications that both Muslims and the left have relaxed ethical standards on the topic of sex in general, to include children.

I also think there are leftists (and most likely Muslims) in both the CIA and FBI. Do they dominate either organization, or are they isolated cases?

When you look at all the lying & associated shenanigans they engaged in trying to get rid of Trump during his first term, the armed raid on Mar-a-lago, the J6 situation, etc .... ZERO trust in the FIBS. Kash has a nest of vipers to clean out and he’ll have to disinfect deeper than just the top 2-3 echelons.

You've probably never heard the story of Kriss Donald, a 15-year-old Scottish boy tortured and murdered by 5 Pakistanis because he was White.

I suggest you revise your screed.

Here’s a quote from the article”

‘Barack Obama’s vow that “the future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam”’

I assume this is true, though it is worth confirming. I think those words will not age well.

You’ll know they were if the ultimate result is a request to expand the Patriot Act.
