FBI Caught Cooking Crimes Statistics
Headline USA ^ | 10/16/2024 | Ken Silva

em>Real Clear Investigations has caught the FBI manipulating crime statistics, stealthily changing the final stats for 2022 to show that crime went up that year—and not down, as the bureau originally reported.

“When the FBI originally released the “final” crime data for 2022 in September 2023, it reported that the nation’s violent crime rate fell by 2.1% … But the FBI has quietly revised those numbers, releasing new data that shows violent crime increased in 2022 by 4.5%. The new data includes thousands more murders, rapes, robberies, and aggravated assaults,” RCI reported Wednesday.

According to RCI, the updated data show that there were 80,029 more violent crimes in 2022 than in 2021—including 1,699 murders, 7,780 rapes, 33,459 robberies, and 37,091 aggravated assaults.

The FBI never announced the upward revisions. RCI said it only discovered it because the bureau’s website mentioned that it “updated” the data. When RCI compared the original data with the updated set, it found the massive upward revision.

RCI noted that the false statistic that crime dropped in 2022 has been widely reported by mainstream media, and used as a talking point by Democrats. For example, USA Today reported last month that crime dropped for a “third straight year” in 2023.

“It is up to the FBI to explain what they have done, and they haven’t explained these large changes,” Thomas Marvell, the president of Justec Research, a criminal justice statistical research organization, told RCI.

RCI’s bombshell investigation sparked outrage among conservatives, who noted that Donald Trump was “fact checked” by outlets such as ABC News over his claims that crime has risen under the Biden-Harris administration.

The FBI updated their national crime data — without any announcement — adding 80,000 more violent crimes, including over 1,000 more murders. At the debate when Trump said the FBI crime data was unreliable, ABC News “factchecked” him with this “data.” https://t.co/v1ggzwwnhp

— Clay Travis (@ClayTravis) October 16, 2024

“At the debate when Trump said the FBI crime data was unreliable, ABC News ‘factchecked’ him with this ‘data,’” political commentator Clay Travis noted.

RCI also asked whether the FBI’s 2023 statistics can be believed, given the enormity of the 2022 revision.

“While the FBI claims that serious violent crime has fallen by 5.8% since Biden took office, the NCVS numbers show that total violent crime has risen by 55.4%. Rapes are up by 42%, robbery by 63%, and aggravated assault by 55% during Biden’s term,” RCI added.

“Since the NCVS started, the largest previous increase over three years was 27% in 2006, so the increase under Biden was slightly more than twice as large.”

Ho hum, more election interference that just so happens to benefit Democrats.

Because it’s not a crime when they do it. Nothing’s ever a crime when they do it.

The title lacked one key word. Cooking the Crime statics AGAIN

. One can also add to this list, CIA, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Homeland Security, General Accounting Office, Interstate Commerce Commission, The Federal Reserve NASA, National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration, etc. But oddly not the rank and file and regional supervisors of the Border Patrol. They call it like it is and it is ugly. Their DC bosses do lie with great speed. What is odd about those is they know they are lying, the media knows they are lying and the media does not contest the lies. It is all Kabuki theater and Potemkin villages. """The term "Potemkin Village" has been used to describe the purported, fake village settlements erected at the direction of Russian minister Grigori " In effect it was lies trying to fool the public that this is reality.

Fake inflation numbers.

Fake crime numbers.

Fake CDC numbers.

Is there any area of our current government or - for that matter - our society that isn’t corrupt to the core?

The "National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration" is the worst for cooking the books in favor of Global Warming as an existential crisis. They literally make up numbers when the real data does not fit the political agenda. When satellite data did not support their global warming calculations (It had to do with troposphere temperatures) they adjusted the numbers to reflect the error of the instrumentation on the satellites.

I sure as hell do not remember a mission by astronauts to take a look at those satellites and with a tool bag on their hip to check those satellites reliability. They simply lied.

This earth has endured multiple ice ages and temperate and tropical interludes between ice ages. Science today accepts this is due to orbital mechanics of the earth relative to the sun. Our orbit is not always the same nor is our inclination to the sun the same over thousands of years. Yes the earth has been warming for the last 20 thousand years.

However, today with a brief 200 years of industrialization on earth all is blamed on CO2 by our "learned scientists." They are not learned. They are after government grants to do research that supports a political viewpoint. I prefer to call them "scientific whores." The ultimate sin in science research is to fake data or exclude data you do not like. That is a scientific whore. My apologies to whores to comparing them to these charlatans of science. Whores have standards superior to our NOAA

Today we have global warming and that is true. We had global warming after our many ice ages before man walked the earth until today. Today global warming is now defined as due to mans industrialization of earth. Is it not odd that the melting of the ice caps many times before man was due to celestial mechanics but now this one time when man walks the earth it is due to man and industry. Oddly the ice caps may totally melt as in the past or we can go back into ice age conditions now as in the past. It has happened many times. If the ice caps melt totally as in the past we will retreat from the sea over thousands of years and civilization will continue. When life flourished on earth at the maximum was during times of high CO2 levels. It is plant food. Life flourished when levels of CO2 were multiple of times greater than today. Oddly historically speaking we are in a CO2 drought.

NYC did this back under the David Dinkins admin.
Just not report or prosecute crime and magically crime goes down.
It doesn’t exist if you don’t acknowledge it.
And they decided to apply it nationwide.

Yup.
Pretend certain things just don’t happen, don’t exist, aren’t a problem.

Global warming? YEAH! Bring it on!

I'll all for lower heating bills and longer growing seasons.

CO2 vs Temperature:

And I just noticed someone messed with this graph and put in a PC, fossil fuel *prediction* as if it's fact.

From 2023...

See if Police in Your State Reported Crime Data to the FBI Nearly one-third of law enforcement agencies are missing from the FBI’s 2022 crime statistics. Use our tables to check on your state and local agencies.

From June, and across the pond...

FBI says crime has plummeted to start 2024 - but is missing a big part of the data Data informing the FBI’s figures is supplied voluntarily by law enforcement agencies across the US, and do not include major metropolitan areas including Los Angeles and New York, where crime is historically high

(My opinion) : When do statistics seem to vary from an updated report - it must be election time again.
Who benefits ?
When statistics need adjustment, who benefits from the misinformation ?

NCVS is not an accurate measure of crime, anymore than self-selected internet polls are related to statistically valid measures. Clinging to specious reports just reinforces the perception we’re all cultist kooks.
