THE FBI GROOMED A 16-YEAR-OLD WITH “BRAIN DEVELOPMENT ISSUES” TO BECOME A TERRORIST
The Intercept ^ | June 15, 2023 | Murtaza Hussain

LAST WEEK, the Department of Justice announced the arrest of a teenager in Massachusetts on allegations of providing financial support to the Islamic State group.

A flurry of reports picked up on the arrest of Mateo Ventura, an 18-year-old resident of the sleepy town of Wakefield, echoing government claims that an international terrorist financier and ISIS supporter had just been busted in the United States. The Department of Justice’s own press release on the case likewise trumpeted Ventura’s arrest for “knowingly concealing the source of material support or resources that he intended to go to a foreign terrorist organization.”

The only “terrorist” he is accused of ever being in contact with was an undercover FBI agent who befriended him online as a 16-year-old. The only problem with the case and how it has been described, however, is that according to the government’s own criminal complaint, Ventura had never actually funded any terrorist group. The only “terrorist” he is accused of ever being in contact with was an undercover FBI agent who befriended him online as a 16-year-old, solicited small cash donations in the form of gift cards, and directed him not to tell anyone else about their intimate online relationship, including his family.

The Unibomber was groomed/mind-wrecked by the CIA.

The guy in Garland a few years back was apparently being followed by a fed on his way to the convention center.

Seems thinking back to McVeigh, there have been curious references to others and “new friends” that keep popping up.

The others and friends always vanish.

It is very hard to catch a real terrorist; easier to groom a high school kid.

Especially a special needs kid.

This is so wrong.

The parents should sue the FBI and DOJ immediately, for millions, and demand all charges be released

On the other hand, I doubt very much that the FBI found this kid posting comments on something harmless like a sports website and then lured him onto a terrorist supporting website. Odds are, before anyone took notice of him, he was already taking an interest in jihadi stuff on his own initiative. Not that mere curiosity implies guilt, it only explains why he was singled out for a closer look.

There aren’t enough investigators to monitor all the harmless websites out there (unless they relate to Trump) so they are going to be assigned to just monitoring the dark stuff, not Sesame Street.

Lee Harvey Oswald is probably the most famous FBI/CIA groomed individual.

I always believed that after a school shooting the FBI comes out and says we had our eye on him or it, This is deliberate, they are killing our kids for thier agenda and to sway public opinion on guns

"he was already taking an interest in jihadi stuff on his own initiative."

The father explains. "He was trying to help the FBI"
Which makes sense given the kid has special needs.

How many domestic and foreign terrorists were created by the FBI and CIA?

If we shuttered both, crime and terrorism in America would plummet.

That is exactly where the Uni-Bomber was sourced.

Elements within the government have been doing experiments on some Americans for generations now. Consistently unconstitutional, and consistently ignored by our politicians of both parties.
