ISIS member with IEDs caught in Los Angeles today

[-]

Eywadevotee@reddit

The device shown wouldnt do much if it would work at all. Probably a FBI catfishing expedition..

[-]

Winter-Collection-48@reddit

First thing that popped into my head. That said, is there evidence to support this being a false flag?

[-]

Choice_Supermarket_4@reddit

Do we have any evidence that this story is true? That's the problem with the DOJ not operating in good faith. I have no reason to believe the narratives they push or the "evidence" they proffer.

(Not that the US Gov has ever been particularly honest and forthright, especially given the litany of crimes the FBI and CIA have committed against us.)

[-]

ImNotFromTheInternet@reddit

There is a photo of some of the evidence above. You will just question everything from the "other side".

[-]

Choice_Supermarket_4@reddit

There is a photo that they are telling you is evidence, but which we have no reason to believe is true. That's the inherent problem.

And it's not an issue of immediately rejecting "the other side", it's an issue of "the other side" repeatedly and demonstrably lying, defrauding, or otherwise attempting to bamboozle the American public.

And like I said, I don't think the US has ever been particularly honesty. Regardless of who's running the show.

[-]

ImNotFromTheInternet@reddit

You'll say that to literally any piece of evidence presented to you and you know it. You know you aren't thinking for yourself. You KNOW you are just blindly arguing for one side.

Respond to me however you want, but the above is true.

Pathetic.

[-]

Choice_Supermarket_4@reddit

I'm not blindly arguing for anything. The current administration has shown a clear, wanton disregard for US Law, down to the US Constitution. They have repeatedly pushed false narratives to go after everyone from migrants in the asylum process to judges whom they disagree with. So yeah, I'll reject any "evidence" from the Trump admin because I flat out don't believe a damn thing they say or come out with. That's what happens when a pathological liar is elected and has an army of sycophants who will happily keep praising the Emperor's new outfit.

Now they want us to think that some random immigrant has apparently been "sending money to ISIS" (which, I'm pretty Trump claimed to eradicate lol), and the "evidence" we see could be put together in under 3 minutes with stuff lying around a house. I call Bullshit.

[-]

TheMillenniaIFalcon@reddit

Why would they make some dumbass random low level false flag? What does that do?

Yet, we know for a fact there are a lot of extremist terrorists out there, of all faiths.

What’s more likely?

[-]

Emmy_Em_Maree@reddit

The alleged is apparently a Filipino with very Mexican-coded (ie, anyone from south of the border to right wing fashy types) name, whilst the govt's new Gestapo is grabbing whomever they want aiming to disappear them to S Sudan, Libya, or who know where. Note: anyone who looks Latino, including citizens, are the out-group they're targeting.

This seems like a great way to feed an anti-immigrant fire this gov't has been attempting to start.

[-]

Ben-Sisko85@reddit

DING DING DING DING DING!!! We have the truth right there. This is exactly what I thought the minute I read the name and the link. The MAGAts aren't going to be competent/intelligent enough (not that they ever were) to actually read or even listen to non-biased news aka: propaganda. They'll see the name and scream that it was a Hispanic/Latin American terrorist.

[-]

DangerousWhenWet444@reddit

No.

[-]

Nominaliszt@reddit

I think you mean Hanlon’s Razor.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanlon%27s_razor

Occam was concerned with positing entities ad hoc, recommending that we use the smallest number of entities in a given explanation.

[-]

DangerousWhenWet444@reddit

I guess it can go both ways. Though I did mean Occam's Razor. I meant that there are many more leaps of faith required to believe in a "deep state conspiracy" (e.g., how many people need to know about and be involved with it, without the secret ever being revealed) than the comparatively simpler explanation of one bozo terrorist wannabe.

But yeah malicious government agents vs. stupid terrorist wannabe fits the bill for Hanlon too

[-]

Any_Tumbleweed_908@reddit

With fascism, the former sounds more likely

[-]

Pea-and-Pen@reddit

I mean, with the current government, I’m going with the first. They absolutely would do this.

[-]

Vulcan_Jedi@reddit

Our current government wouldn’t say it was ISIS because Trump likes to brag about how he destroyed them in his first term.

[-]

QHCprints@reddit

You think he even remembers his first term?

[-]

thehairyhobo@reddit

He also wants to flatten LA and any other Cali city with military force. What a perfect excuse to do so as well.

[-]

Rivia@reddit

What's your reasoning? What other false flags have they done?

[-]

Ghost_of_Durruti@reddit

Many, many terrorist convictions in the US are the result of the FBI twisting arms and using their tools to generate fake terrorists.

[-]

Rivia@reddit

Can you provide examples i can read about? I've never heard of this

[-]

Ghost_of_Durruti@reddit

The Terror Factory by Trevor Aaronson. He has a podcast too called Alphabet Boys. The Whitmer kidnapping plot was somewhat similar. The FBI pays the scummiest, sleaziest, worst excuses for humans that they can find a little less than a million dollars for some of these operations. It's like a high pressure salesman routine where the informant will do ANYTHING to get their near million dollar payout. Drugs, coaching, slowly acclimating the target, normalizing extremist rhetoric through their own words/actions, etc.

[-]

Winter-Collection-48@reddit

Alphabet Boys is good. I'll check out Terror Factory.

[-]

JoseSaldana6512@reddit

Theres been a bunch. The most famous ham fisted ones are the jihadi they sent to NY mosques shortly after 9/11 who got reported to his agency for being so fucking obvious. There was also the Gov. Whitmer (sp?) kidnapping plot that had more feds than conspirators.

[-]

Winter-Collection-48@reddit

Wait what? I didn't know that about the Whitmer thing

[-]

burnthatbridgewhen@reddit

There’s a podcast called weird little guys, I think the latest episode is about the FBI following one dude with extremist leanings for years and convincing him to buy gift cards for ISIS. It’s kind of similar to what these guys are talking about.

[-]

carlitospig@reddit

Also a plot point on The OA!

[-]

Rivia@reddit

Thanks for answering instead of downvoting

[-]

burnthatbridgewhen@reddit

Ofc. It’s something not a lot of people know about and it can be hard to find examples of it unless you know the correct search terms.

[-]

TheMillenniaIFalcon@reddit

Why?

That makes zero sense. Some low level Isis rando manufactured? That does nothing.

Americans are very familiar with terrorism, so not sure what this accomplished.

[-]

cscaggs@reddit

Retarded take for you to have, but okay

[-]

OGLydiaFaithfull@reddit

Use more burns from the 90s. L.

[-]

Evacipate628@reddit

Before the govt was completely fascist, you know with everyone fired and replaced with unqualified loyalists, it would've been easier to believe that such a conspiracy wouldn't be kept secret.

But I mean JFC dude, the govt is being run by Q basically, it's being run by those who share the ideologies of the Buffalo mass shooter. Miller alone is bad enough but there are so many of him in there at this point.

Every narrative that's pushed now is actually more likely to be a conspiracy because it's now more plausible that they manufactured this event, because no one is going to contradict any narrative that's used, than it actually being true.

[-]

DangerousWhenWet444@reddit

Would it not be easier to provide funding clandestinely to an authentic terrorist and let him do the dirty work? That would be a lot closer to USA's typical playbook.

In this case, an ISIS wannabe lacked the skill to manufacture an effective IED. You can tell he wasn't an experienced terrorist because he couldn't keep his mouth shut on the internet, leading to his capture.

Not everything is a conspiracy.

[-]

betterthan911@reddit

How do we know that not what Trumps doj did here?

[-]

TheNorseDruid@reddit

They literally do this all the time, specifically there was a neonazi cop that sent gift card codes to an "ISIS member" that was either an FBI member or paid informant, both are involved in the story. Nicholas Young, of Fairfax VA.

[-]

outdoor-high@reddit

Today? After they got caught lying about charges in L.A. and considering the historical parallels this far? Its easier to believe the government, or one of their contractors, perpetuated a false flag than it is to believe anything they say is true

[-]

Dawg605@reddit

Considering ISIS is most likely a creation of Israel, yeah, I'd say it's a false flag.

[-]

Winter-Collection-48@reddit

Did they have mutual interests? Yes. But Israel created ISIS? Don't know about that.

[-]

carlitospig@reddit

I literally wouldn’t trust anything that this admin claims at this point.

[-]

SurveyPlane2170@reddit

With the state of our government and what we know they’re willing to do (and have done) it generally seems like the safer bet. It being published by a mainstream outlet gives that hypothesis more credibility imo

[-]

Winter-Collection-48@reddit

I don't disagree. I think what you said highlights the importance of not latching on to a narrative until it's supported by verifiable information.

[-]

SurveyPlane2170@reddit

On the money. And how come our government can send money to isis, but this guy can’t? Land of the free my ass.

[-]

Nominaliszt@reddit

Isn’t sending money part of his free speech?

[-]

Bunsplittin@reddit

I can’t tell if this is a joke or not

[-]

Money clearly isn’t speech, if we’re to interpret that sending money to ISIS isn’t simply free speech then we should bring the same clarity to our election process.

[-]

No-Walk9551@reddit

Not Isis in particular but the Taliban who funds the rest of the groups. Until quite recently we were sending the Taliban up to 80million a week thru usaid and other ngo’s and just straight fuckin to them

[-]

swiggidyswooner@reddit

ISIS and the Taliban have been at war for a number of years

[-]

No-Walk9551@reddit

Watch the Sarah Adam’s interviews with Shawn Ryan. She talks quite a bit about how the Taliban have centralized training camps to bring people in. This dude I’m sure was an idiot who saw something online and convinced himself it was a good idea

[-]

ncbraves93@reddit

[-]

softeggnoodles@reddit

Simple google search can tell you our government created Al Qaeda and ISIS and similar groups to fight off our own enemies in foreign territories. We arm them and fund them, that and the Cartel!

[-]

SisyphusRllnAnOnion@reddit

I think they’re referring to the new Syrian government. It’s composed of former ISIS members. I don’t know about direct monetary contributions, but we did lift the old sanctions from the Assad days back in January.

[-]

Bunsplittin@reddit

[-]

Fretwizard125@reddit

Because our government needs "Taliban", not Isis, to continue to tend to the opium fields for Big Pharma to make their drugs. Can't let the supply fall into hands we dont control, like the messican cartels.

[-]

gamergirlgstring@reddit

if anyone wants a very informative tale about the last time the feds arrested someone for sending money to ISIS, cannot recommend this enough: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/weird-little-guys/id1760218611?i=1000718766310

long story short, under no circumstances do we ever have to hand it to ISIS, but in some circumstances the FBI would very much like someone to hand “it” (gift cards) to ISIS

Yes, yes I know the answer. He wants his own private army to be a tyrant and attack Americans that oppose him. I get it. But MAGATS will instinctively want the money to go towards actual terrorist over the so called immigrants problem. Well, until they’re told the immigrants are the terrorist.

tradeisbad@reddit

there's a whole bunch still in prisons in Syria and Iraq. The ones in Syria are under control of the Syrian defense force (SDF) and the US pays to keep them in prison. like 10,000 plus 50,000 children and women in a camp. A lot of them are sort of mercenaries who signed up because the salafist muslim ideology preached that all the trappings of society are bullshit and we need to get back to the basics of the Quran. It's almost like they're preppers, they're mad at what has come of the world so signed up to fight to take it down or prep for it's downfall. I guess some fight club anarchy-esque shit. but really the top guys were using the mercenaries to get power over the region. and a lot were probably drawn by the appeal of getting some young women sex slaves. It's also uncertain how much they really believe in the ideology, or how much they just see it as a method through which to take power. probably a little of both. there were a bunch of telegram and tiktok campaigns glorifying fighting and the causes to recruit fighters from around the world. Some were Sunni muslims who were in power under Saddam but were getting fucked over when the Shia took over after the US kicked out Saddam et al...

There have been accusations from survivors who were 12 or 13 at the time they were victimized, and the journalist who leaked the black book and flught logs 10 years ago has said multiple times that there are much younger victims who haven't come forward publicly yet.

Nanarchenemy@reddit

Well, I'm not a forensics expert, but I am very experienced in how the FBI puts together cases. This has entrapment written all over it. Notice the article keeps saying "self-identified" ISIS. One or all of those ISIS "actors" was very likely a federal investigator. "Material support" cases are VERY easy to manufacture, especially against young, or mentally unbalanced, or socially isolated individuals. The "material support" here is about $1300 usd, sent over a period of months. The guy isn't a U.S. citizen, either. That's a bingo for the FBI. I've seen it time, and time again, as a lawyer for 30 yrs. The IED speaks for itself. This is distraction at its finest, and an easy career booster for the agents, and the US Attorneys office in the LA district. Pffft.

Emmy_Em_Maree@reddit

I majored in History/Poli-sci, and outside of Gaza rn, it was the ultimate horror I studied back then in those 4 four years of education.

In a nutshell, the USA gained the Philippines after the Spanish-American. The Spanish, per tradition m, were notoriously horrific occupiers. USA came in and said, "Hold my beer" and then were just as brutal as Spanish. So many innocent people slaughtered. IIR correctly, the outcome of that war was the USA giving up on being a Spanish/British-like colonial empire.

Of course they didn't give up colonialism, they just shifted it to an economic model of paying countries (under the guise of aid) so they would do whatever ever the US govt wanted out of them.

You're in danger and we need to deport the people who are applying for citizenship about it without due process. Like 5000 of them. The rest we need to put into internment camps run by private contractors and then use them for labor. For safety.

ALSO. god emperor trump absolutely defeated ISIS forever, and he'll do it again on a regular basis every time someone brings up how he is a rapey felon and a pedo. To keep you safe.

So glad they let all these nice illegals in no vetting I rem one terrorist saying at the border we would know who he was it was all over youtube.

ceiffhikare@reddit

Definitely a FF. TPTB had to go this route as the whole shooter thing has been overplayed.. and they have ticked off enough on all sides that they couldnt be sure the next guy would miss. I figure another couple of scandals they might have to actually let something go all the way to distract America.

P.S. Oh yeah, RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!

That is not a handsome IED

“The weapon was crafted using three aerosol cans meticulously pressurized with a weeks worth of Villanueva’s Hormel chili farts.”

Raddish3030@reddit

One hand.

False flag.

Other hand.

The border was open for so long that there are legitimate Muslim terrorists that made it through the border unvetted.

So it is both, sadly enough.

Fakest looking "bomb" ever.

Affectionate_Stop860@reddit

spray paint cans with tinfoil/electrical tape does not equal a fucking bomb our gov. has lost their shit.

"In February, prosecutors allege Villanueva messaged one of the self-identified ISIS fighters and offered to send money."

who in the hell is this "self identified ISIS" member DOJ?? Please let us know.

sounds like a false flag operation.

Are those aerosol cans? Weapon of mass destruction I'd say. If you think about it, we're all walking around with an IED in our pocket. Pray hackers never get into the system and over load the batteries when people try to make a phone call.

yawn I'll get worried if Isis develops strategic bombers and a navy.

This is a pathetic attempt at distraction.

And if it is a terrorist attack, equally pathetic. Like bro, Americans kill Americans all the time, we're a violent country. A pathetic firecracker lile this doesn't even count as terrorism because it is so lame.

Come on. Really. Is this the best you can do?

I’ve been watching Hollywood for years. You guys can go to a surplus store and buy like claymore mines and grenades and whatnot. My 14 year old kid could knock up a better IED than this with a Dr Pepper and some sherbet.

Xijit@reddit

Read the article, not the headline.

Dude was just a Dipshit American who was sending money to people on the internet claiming to be ISIS & the "bomb" was some bullshit they found in his apartment when they arrested him for providing funds to a terrorist organization.

This dude likely never left the country, much less joined ISIS, and the "bomb" really is some wires duck taped to 4 cans of spray paint (I would bet real money he made it to take selfies in the mirror).

Oh no the scary isis better send more bombs to Middle East. Each country’s biggest threat is its own government.
