FBI Goes Rogue on Iran
FBI ROGUES AGAIN?
DOES ANYONE CARE ?
by Dr. Lawrence Davidson
Part I – Going Rogue Again
Back on 1 September 2011 I posted a piece titled America’s FBI Goes Rogue. The gist of that piece was that the FBI’s Counter Terrorist Unit has transformed itself into an instigator of crime.
The Agency’s modus operandi (MO) here reminds one of those carnivorous plants that have evolved physical shapes that lure their insect victims to their deaths. So too does the FBI’s approach to “terror prevention” rely on spinning crime scenarios so as to lure unsuspecting “terrorists” into a criminal trap.
The recently announced arrest of the American-Iranian, Mansor Arbsibsiar, a “failed used car salesman turned drug peddler (who has a cousin employed by Iran’s Quds Force, the special operations unit of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards) falls neatly into this MO. The U.S. Justice Department alleges that Arbsibsiar planned to assassinate the Saudi Arabian ambassador in Washington. At the same time the Department assures us that, according to U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara, “for the entire operation, the government’s confidential sources were monitored and guided by federal law enforcement agents.” In this case the confidential source was a Drug Enforcement Agency operative, who is himself a convicted felon. According to Gareth Porter, the operative is heard on one of the FBI’s clandestine recording “inducing Arbarsiar to agree to the assassination of the Saudi ambassador.” That is entrapment and it is illegal. The “guides” are FBI agents who are involved in fabricating the crime itself. The result is a guaranteed arrest for the government. As Glenn Greenwald has noted, “nobody can deny its [the Department of Justice] record of excellence in thwarting its own terrorist plots.” And indeed, not unexpectedly, Bharara reminded us that during the entire “terrorist” episode, “no one was actually in danger.”
THE BUCK STOPS HERE! WILL HE GET AWAY AGAIN ?
There has always been a fine line dividing the criminal from the police. That is why all major police departments have internal affairs units. The FBI’s Counter Terrorist Unit has obviously crossed that line. The precedent this sets is bad enough, but with this particular case the Justice Department has gone much further. They have charged a foreign country, Iran, with complicity in this alleged crime. It is supposed that Arbarsiar was recruited by his cousin to contact a Mexico drug cartel to assist him in the plot. This has let loose a plethora of threats by the United States government against Iran. President Obama himself has stepped forward to lead the charge. “This is not just a dangerous escalation, this is part of a pattern of dangerous and reckless behavior by the Iranian government….Even if Iran’s leaders did not have detailed operational knowledge, there has to be accountability with respect to anybody in the Iranian government engaging in this kind of activity.”
Part II - The Hypocrisy of it All
Since the Justice Department and the FBI have such a liking for the creative envisioning of criminal scenarios, perhaps we can do the same thing. Consider the following:
1. Someone in the depths of one of American’s many spy agencies, 
perhaps in cooperation with an allied nation, decides to assassinate Iranian nuclear experts. They decide to use proxies and go looking for guns for hire. They don’t go to Mexico for this, but rather to one of the Iranian exile groups with appropriate contacts inside Iran. The next thing you know a number of that country’s nuclear scientists and engineers end up dead. Soon thereafter President Amadinejad holds a news conference and says, “This is not just a dangerous escalation, this is part of a pattern of dangerous and reckless behavior by the U.S. government….Even if American leaders did not have detailed operational knowledge, there has to be accountability with respect to anybody in the American government engaging in this kind of activity.”
2. Now we move to the bowels of the Pentagon where someone has drawn up a list of people who are believed to be connected to Al Qaeda. Some of the names are put on the list because of “intelligence” reports citing second and third hand information. Some are more solid. One name is selected and the person’s approximate whereabouts goes out to the military geeks who program U.S. drones flying out of the Persian Gulf area. Some highly trained computer jockey then launches one of these drones and using an elaborate joystick flies the bomb with wings right to its target–which happens to be someone’s house. Maybe they kill their intended target and maybe they don’t. However, a goodly number of innocent folks unlucky enough to be in the neighborhood do die. After dozens of such attacks the President of Afghanistan or maybe Pakistan holds a news conference and says, “This is not just a dangerous escalation, this is part of a pattern of dangerous and reckless behavior by the U.S. government….Even if American leaders did not have detailed operational knowledge, there has to be accountability with respect to anybody in the American government engaging in this kind of activity.”
One could go on with such examples for a long time. The point is that President Obama and the host of other American politicians and officials who have gone on record with displays of righteous indignation over Iran’s alleged involvement in a plot to enter someone else’s territory for the purpose of assassination, are probably going to appear as embarrassing hypocrites in all future relevant and objective histories. One wonders if they even care.
Part III – Small Worlds All Around
Why do our political leaders act in such duplicitous and hypocritical fashion? To try to answer that question it helps to remember just how small and closed a world they live in. Their world is not an open field of public discourse or the vigorous debate of opposing viewpoints. Rather, It is bordered by the demands and points of view of interest groups that are themselves self-referencing when it comes to objectives and indifferent to morality and, indeed, truth beyond their own arena of action. Here are two relevant examples:
John McCain, Joe Lieberman, Lindsey Graham
A. One self-referencing interest group is the law enforcement community which, given the chance, will begin to act in an authoritarian manner and thus with no real regard for rules or procedures that restrict the range of their powers. The 11 September 2001 attacks ushered in just such a chance for this special interest to justify actions beyond the Constitution. This behavior, in turn, has actually been encouraged by a large number of politicians catering to a majority of citizens most of whom care little for the rights they rarely exercise in their daily lives. As it turns out this majority appears quite willing to sacrifice those rights in the mistaken belief that doing so enhances their security.
B. Another self-referencing group is the Zionists and their supporters who also are instinctually authoritarian in their behavior and thus perfectly willing to disregard the Constitution to achieve their purposes. One of these purposes is the destruction of Iran. It is with their encouragement that more and more Congressmen and women are jumping on the anti-Iran bandwagon. It is with their encouragement that, hovering in the background of the televised denouncements of Iran are U.S. Treasury officials known to be personally pro-Israel. These officials are primed to institute sanctions on Iran’s central bank in the hopes of destroying that country’s economy. That their excuse to do so borders on farce disturbs them not at all.
Behind all of this lies the generic problem of getting the public, so tightly focused on their day to day activities to realize, on the one hand, that what they are told in the media and by the government is not necessarily true. In fact, more often then not, it is untrue. And, on the other hand, that the consequences of blindly following where these pied pipers lead can cause immense death and destruction. Just remember Viet Nam and Iraq. But many do not remember and so one is led to the conclusion that such self-destructive behavior can persist for generations.

My post about my troubles with the Bureau over alleged spying for the Chinese, Sudanese et al, and with being ‘Jihad Jane’s lover, assassin of islamophobe cartoonist Lars Vilks has disappeared without a trace, just more evidence of how pervasive our rouge states are in keeping the lip on their illegal activities.
Will not risk wasting more time on this post for fear that it will disappear too.
Your post has disappeared ? I remember reading it. What was the title of the post ?
Corruption flows downward. “Our” “government” was compromised from the top down, and the corrupt people on top obviously cannot do their evil with ethical people working for them. They don’t need “whistleblowers”, they need amoral opportunists and ideological extremists for whom the end justifies the means.
Look at the anthrax affair. That case alone has utterly disgraced the FBI, just as NIST has completely disgraced itself with its cartoonish propaganda reports regarding the “collapses” of the WTC towers.
Almost any agency or institution with any remaining pretense of honesty or credibility has been or will be sucked dry by the vampires on top. They’ve disgraced all of our agencies and institutions. We now have no properly functioning Judiciary; we have no properly functioning State Dept.; we have no properly functioning Treasury dept.; and on and on ad nauseum…the rot has engulfed everything.
Why if the vampires were to realize tomorrow that most people still have some respect for the Post Office, for example, I wouldn’t be surprised if they start using your neighborhood mailman to spread propaganda…as they squeeze every last drop of credibility out of everything they can find and exploit it to the fullest.

Can someone tell me the last time our govment has told us the truth? I can’t seem to put my finger on when that was!
This was a hastily thrown-together false-flag operation. Seems to me the zionists are getting pretty sloppy. Hopefully it’s because they’re panicked.
Definately reflects desperation, IMO. In one sense a welcome sign, but OTOH, cornered madmen are probably even more dangerous and unpredictable.
True, but cornered conmen are also more likely to screw up and get caught. Karma has several faces…….

This is just one of the self serving and useless- as- tits- on -a -bull agencies that causes more harm then good. It is more than just an agency, it has become a bureaucracy filled with lifers, politicians, useless eaters and corrupt people from top to bottom.
It is time for this and other such agencies to be tossed into the trashcan along with the CIA( Cocaine Importers of America) NSA ( No Such Agency), DEA, ATF, DOE, EPA, FDA and the rest of the corrupted, soviet style bureaucrats who now try to run every aspect of our lives.
Holder is a liar and a criminal. This piece of trash needs to be removed from office, indicted and tried in front of every one . This shit is nothing more than distraction from Holders involvement in Operation Fast and Furious.
Yet, the sheeple will swallow this turd sandwich like a Halloween treat and Obomber will get his little war with Iran…which will prove to be even more costly and deadly for America. It may just finish off America for good as it will go completely bankrupt trying to finance yet another useless war for israhell.
By the way: I stopped believing anything anybody in the government says anymore. I have no confidence in what is being passed off as legitimate government in Washington. I no longer recognize that gathering of duplicitous and corrupt bureaucrats as anything but the most irrelevant and destructive force on this nation.
Yes…but when America has been finally bankrupted and WW3 was a disaster, who will step in to take over America and insert their favourite people to organising the “relative” rebuilding – we wont go into the millions nuked or the 15 or so million dissenters “exd” in Fema camps….who holds the money means and financial power (include eugenics here also)….answer is not far off your lips.
FBI complicity in the Iran affair? Seems more like CIA, clandestine on this one more than normal. Nevertheless, the truth escapes the bulk of the American public. They know what the 6 o’clock news tells them, nothing more. If Elvis did the Iran deal, they’d buy it. In America, when people don’t know, they defend their ignorance hard and tough. They won’t give in, they are sure that despite their woeful lack of facts, they just “know that the US would NEVER do such a thing”. And, damned if Obama and the gangstas don’t know this, it’s like gospel with them. Our government can depend on our innate, cumulative stupidity from our citizenry. You just know that Axelrod is dirty on this gig, and you just know that Jimmy Joe Carville buys it lock, stock, and barrel. Years ago, I coined a little phrase I’d like to share. “I’ve never seen an indigent mother who wouldn’t steal for a hungry child”. Just imagine how totally rotten our government is. They can be caught red handed, convicted, and a short while later, the folks watching the 6 o’clock news from MSM have plum forgotten everything about their guilt. The depth of our cumulative stupidities is boggling. And, McKain, LIE-berman and LIndsay the Graham Cracker just luvv this notion of war against Iran. Israel’s shills wearing some nice, thousand dollar suits, what a picture. Can these schlubs be getting paid in shekels or do they have some hidden retirement fund that has the bills printed in Yiddish? Our reps, the folks who promise the world and then give us the political enema. A small percentage of Americans realize this, the rest are brain dead. Now we know why our educational system is ranked about 18th in the world, behind countries like Burma, Equatorial Guinea, and Cameroons. Analytical thinking has probably been vetoed by Arnie Duncan, the education czar. Don’t want those students knowin’ too much, ya know.
Superb piece
thanks

Is anyone asking about the ” third ” country involved in the money transfer pertaining to this plot ? If not, Why ??
Anyone here actually ever contact the FBI to provide information? I have and it’s a complete joke and you’re are 100% prevented access to any agents in order to disclose information.
Twice I’ve tried to call about the illegal activities of other businesses in my area and NADA, ZILCH, ZERO!!!! Never heard a peep and never will. The FBI DOES NOT stop or prevent crime against the populace period!!!! They only get involved at the level where the 1% are put in harms way or ripped off. As far as they’re concerned the rest of us can eat shit and die.
