The FBI concocts yet another “terrorist plot” this one in my backyard - 02/12/2013 10:17 AM
The FBI (a Hollywood Production) concocts yet another “terrorist plot:”
I suppose we should be flattered that they think so highly of the California militia that they included us in their contrived plot.
Still, I find it eerily reminiscent of the militia vilification during the 90s.

FBI Thwarts San Jose Man’s Alleged Terror Plot To Blow Up Oakland Bank
OAKLAND – A federal terrorism task force arrested a man they said intended to detonate a car bomb in front of an Oakland bank in the hopes of sparking a civil war by making the bomb blast appear to be the work of anti-government “militias.”
Prosecutors on Friday charged 28-year-old Matthew Aaron Llaneza, of San Jose, with attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction against property used in an activity that affects interstate or foreign commerce, for allegedly trying to bomb the Bank of America branch at 303 Hegenberger Road in Oakland.
Llaneza made his initial appearance in federal court in Oakland without entering a plea and remained in custody; he faces a maximum sentence of life in prison if convicted.
The FBI’s South Bay Joint Terrorism Task Force said it had been tracking Llaneza for months and agents arrested him Thursday night as he stood nearby the bank and tried to set off an explosive rigged in an SUV in front of the building with a cellphone detonator.
What Llaneza didn’t realize was that the purported bomb had already been rendered inoperable by an undercover federal agent, posing as a Taliban sympathizer, who worked alongside him during the plot, prosecutors said.
Authorities indicated that Llaneza expressed support for the Taliban and had hoped the bombing would be blamed on anti-government activists and would somehow spark a civil war after a severe government crackdown. The FBI said Llaneza also expressed a desire to travel to Afghanistan to train Taliban fighters.
Court documents show that it was on Nov. 30 when Llaneza first met with the undercover agent — a man he believed to be connected to the Taliban and the mujahidin in Afghanistan. That’s when Llaneza allegedly laid out his plan to car bomb a Bay Area financial institution.
The federal criminal complaint alleged that Llaneza subsequently selected the Bank of America branch at 303 Hegenberger Road in Oakland as the target for the attack and ultimately specified a spot next to a support column of the bank building as a good location for the bomb.
Authorities also alleged that Llaneza expressed a desire for the bomb to bring down the entire bank building and offered to drive the car bomb to the bank at the time of the attack.
Llaneza and the undercover agent met three more times in December to finalize the plan, according to an affidavit written by FBI agent Christopher Monika. Monika said the FBI rented a storage unit in Hayward and “positioned a sports utility vehicle in it for its use as the delivery vehicle for the car bomb.”
On Jan. 26, the two constructed the “bomb” by pouring chemicals purchased and mixed by the FBI into 12 five-gallon buckets in the rear of the SUV. Llaneza purchased two cellphones, an LED light, nine-volt battery and a “battery snap cap” to construct the device. The undercover agent rigged one of the cellphones to serve as the trigger. The FBI said the device was inert and never in danger of exploding.
The two men met one more time on Feb. 2 to make sure the trigger worked and connected the blasting cap and the trigger to the device.

This is a related excerpt from Paul Craig Robberts' latest posting:
[QUOTE]The justification for the American police state is the “war on terror,” a hoax kept alive by the FBI’s “sting operations.” Normally speaking, a sting operation is when a policewoman poses as a prostitute in order to ensnare a “John,” or a police officer poses as a drug dealer or user in order to ensnare drug users or dealers. The FBI’s “sting operation” goes beyond these victimless crimes that fill up US prisons.
The FBI’s sting operations are different. They are just as victimless as no plot ever happens, but the FBI doesn’t pose as bomb makers for terrorists who have a plot but lack the weapon. Instead, the FBI has the plot and looks for a hapless or demented person or group, or for a Muslim enraged over the latest Washington insult to him and/or his religion. When the FBI locates its victim, its agents approach the selected perpetrator pretending to be Al-Qaeda or some such and ply the selected perpetrator with money, the promise of fame, or threats until the victim signs on to the FBI’s plot and is arrested.
Trevor Aaronson in his book, The Terror Factory: Inside the FBI’s War on Terrorism, documents that the FBI has so far concocted 150 “terrorist plots” and that almost all of the other “terrorist cases” are cases unrelated to terrorism, such as immigration, with a terror charge tacked on. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=LpTOrNQ3G9Q# ! The presstitute American media doesn’t ask why, if there is so much real terrorism requiring an American war against it, the FBI has to invent and solicit terrorist plots.
