Judge Napolitano Tells It Like It Is!

10/13/2011 There were 20 or more plots to kill Americans over the last 10 years. What they will not tell you is that there were 3 that were interrupted by members of the public. There were the Shoe bomber, Underwear bomber, Times Squire bomber. An alert public notified authorities or subdued the threat themselves. Of the 17 plots interrupted by the Feds, all were created by the Feds. They were planned, plotted and carried out by the Federal Government itself. All were sting operations against people without the knowledge or resources to carry them out themselves. RC Fake terror plots, paid informants: the tactics of FBI 'entrapment' questioned Critics say bureau is running a sting operation across America, targeting vulnerable people by luring them into fake terror plots guardian.co.uk, Wednesday 16 November 2011 12.33 EST David Williams did not have an easy life. He moved to Newburgh, a gritty, impoverished town on the banks of the Hudson an hour or so north of New York, at just 10 years old. For a young, black American boy with a father in jail, trouble was everywhere. Williams also made bad choices. He ended up going to jail for dealing drugs. When he came out in 2007 he tried to go straight, but money was tight and his brother, Lord, needed cash for a liver transplant. Life is hard in Newburgh if you are poor, have a drug rap and need cash quickly. His aunt, Alicia McWilliams, was honest about the tough streets her nephew was dealing with. "Newburgh is a hard place," she said. So it was perhaps no surprise that in May, 2009, David Williams was arrested again and hit with a 25-year jail sentence. But it was not for drugs offences. Or any other common crime. Instead Williams and three other struggling local men beset by drug, criminal and mental health issues were convicted of an Islamic terrorist plot to blow up Jewish synagogues and shoot down military jets with missiles. Even more shocking was that the organisation, money, weapons and motivation for this plot did not come from real Islamic terrorists. It came from the FBI, and an informant paid to pose as a terrorist mastermind paying big bucks for help in carrying out an attack. For McWilliams, her own government had actually cajoled and paid her beloved nephew into being a terrorist, created a fake plot and then jailed him for it. "I feel like I am in the Twilight Zone," she told the Guardian. >SNIP< "Most of these suspect terrorists had no access to weapons unless the government provided them. I would say that showed they were not the biggest threat to the US," German said. The rest of the Article: www.guardian.co.uk
