The FBI has foiled yet another of their signature terror plots, this one involving a young man who they claim wanted to wage jihad on the military in the Midwest on behalf of “ISIS™ “.
In Topeka, Kansas 20-year-old John T. Booker Jr. was steered along by not one but two confidential informants (CI) working for the FBI as they prepared a car bomb for him to detonate, along with one of the informants mind you, at Fort Riley military base.
You can read the criminal complaint here. It was filed today, 4/10/2015.
It’s full of the same crap they are always filled with: a hapless “terrorist”, already on the FBI radar for a while, poor, being led around by the nose by a CI who’s probably looking to get off for some crime he committed in the past.
In this case, the bomb making material wasn’t stored at Booker’s home and the fake bomb itself was crafted by the two CIs… not Booker.
Also important to note, they claim Booker wanted to detonate the suicide bomb himself but for some reason one of the CIs had to drive him to the location where he was arrested.
According to the report, he picked the location:
“When asked whether he knew of a target, Booker told the FBI source he know of a military post in Manhattan called “the Big Red One.” CJ Online
The plan then was set for Fort Riley, home of the “Big Red One” 1st Infantry Division, which is in Kansas… where Booker lived.
Left to his own devices, Booker couldn’t put a bomb together because he had no money and no skills.
But that’s not why I’m writing this article. That’s always the story with these FBI heroics, isn’t it?
No. Here’s why I’m writing this late at night:
Take a look at this image they are circulating of John Booker, a.k.a. Muhammed Abdullah Hassan. Seems pretty straight forward, right? He’s a Muslim, ergo a turrurrurrist.
I don’t know why he looks 12 in that photo, but there you go.
It’s not by chance they chose to use that one as opposed to this one:
JEN CLARK/THE CAPITAL-JOURNAL First Sgt. Donald Munn, back, gives a wrapping lesson to Cadet Master Sgt. John Thomas Booker Jr. The Topeka West Army Jr. ROTC group spent Wednesday afternoon wrapping approximately 130 gifts for The Farm, Inc., foster children.
Yes ladies and gentlemen, that is Cadet Master Sgt. John Thomas Booker Jr. of the Topeka West Army Jr. ROTC back in 2011 when he was in high school. And yes, he’s doing some community service helping disadvantaged kids.
John T. Booker graduated high school from Topeka West High in 2012. He then did a year at jobs corp studying “security and protective services” through 2013.
Now this is where the story becomes really interesting.
Here we have an ROTC Master SGT. who goes and studies security and protective services who then suddenly and without any prior indication, starts up a brand new Facebook page in Feb. of 2014 posting crap about “jihad” and wanting to stick some officer in the army with a sword.
What?
Yep, that’s the story. I guess the year in job corps didn’t have the effect they were thinking it would. Either that or…
Anyway..
“Through postings on Hassan’s Facebook page, beginning on February 23, he posted al-Qaida propaganda materials. There are also photos of Osama bin Laden and a video of the 9/11 mastermind reciting the Quran”. heavy.com
Now pay attention because this is where the story gets really f-ed up.
So he starts down the “jihad” road in Feb of 2014.
He also started down the military road that same month. That’s when he signed up with the army. But he signed up on the delayed entry program and was scheduled to begin basic training on April 7.
Now remember, he’s posting crappy jihad poems on his new Facebook page this whole time.
In March he supposedly pops up on the FBI’s radar thanks to his Facebook postings that scream “come arrest me”
According to the official story, all that time he was telling people on Facebook that he was going to sign up with the military so he could stick an officer with a sword.
This is the same guy who spent his high school years in ROTC mind you.
“I will soon be leaving you forever so goodbye! I’m going to wage jihad and hopes that i die,” he wrote on March 15, 2014, according to federal prosecutors.
“Getting ready to be killed in jihad is a HUGE adrenaline rush!! I am so nervous. NOT because I’m scared to die but I am eager to meet my lord,” he wrote four days later, on March 19.
On March 20, FBI agents questioned Booker about the Facebook posts. After waiving his Miranda rights, Booker allegedly told agents that he enlisted in the Army to commit an insider attack against American soldiers similar to one carried out by Nidal Hassan at Ford Hood, Texas, on Nov. 5, 2009 CJ Online
Imagine that. Someone doing an interview with the FBI and they “waive their Miranda rights”. That never happens, right?
Anyway… let’s sum up so far… Mr. ROTC for life kid does a year in the security and protective services program at the local job corp and as soon as he’s completed that he makes a Facebook page to rhyme about jihad and signs up for the military so he can stab an officer.
But instead of going to “meet his lord” immediately, the kid waits around to be arrested for posting jihad material on Facebook.
Got it so far?
Good.
Now, the FBI does one of their famous “no recordings” interview with the 19-year-old who “waved his Miranda rights” less than a month after creating his offensively stupid Facebook page.
He is then denied entry into the Army for obvious reasons.
“After questioning by the FBI, Booker was denied access into the military” CJ Online
But wait… there’s more.
On Oct. 8, 2014, Booker made his first contact with an unidentified person who, unbeknownst to Booker, was an FBI informant. Two days later, according to federal prosecutors, Booker told the source he dreamt of joining Islamic State fighters in Iraq but didn’t know anyone who could help him get there. CJ Online
He drops off the radar until Oct of 2014. I’m assuming, his little trick with the military now done, he stops posting Facebook posts about sticking officers with sharp implements.
But wait… it says here they were looking for him!
The FBI is searching for a recent Army recruit believed to be planning a “Fort Hood-inspired jihad against U.S. soldiers,” FoxNews.com has learned.
The alert, whose legitimacy was confirmed by military and law enforcement officials, stated that a man identified as Booker had told friends of his “intention to commit jihad.” Booker, who is also known as Muhammad Abdullah Hassan, was recruited by the U.S. Army in Kansas City, Mo., in February 2014 and was scheduled to report for basic training on April 7. But he was discharged last week, apparently after law enforcement authorities learned of his alleged plan.
Both the FBI and the 902d Military Intelligence Group at Fort Leavenworth are involved in the hunt. Fox News April 1, 2014
So wait a minute, let’s back up…
The FBI had this 19-year-old master terrorist (Oh wait, no, he was an ROTC Master Sgt. my bad) they had him in their interview on March the 20th and by April the 1st, they had completely lost track of him?
Lost track of a 19-year-old?
The FBI did?
With all it’s resources?
Lost a 19-year-old kid they said wanted to pull off a terrorist attack in the US targeting a MILITARY BASE?
And they just lost him?
hmmm.
OK.
But wait… there’s more…
Because then he pops up in Oct… chatting with an FBI CI.
They leave the guy on the streets, the same guy they claim wanted to pull off another Fort Hood shooting. The same guy they claim they were hunting with the 902d Military Intelligence Group at Fort Leavenworth.
They leave him on the streets from Oct of 2014 till yesterday?
Not only that, but apparently they helped him pick a target for his suicide bomb, made a fake bomb for him and helped him make some incriminating jihad videos… kinda like this:
Oh no wait. That’s another ex-military patsy. Sorry. I get confused with all of ’em sometimes.
For almost half a year after Booker “surfaced” chatting with their CI, the FBI allowed this subject of the big manhunt to run around Kansas, supposedly knowing the guy just wanted to stick an officer with a sword.
Do you think it ever occurred to the “heroic” folks over at the FBI that he might just happen across an officer in uniform on the street one day and flip out and stab him?
Do you think they might have foreseen a little problem with that possibility especially considering the fact that they were letting him run the streets while they ran him while supposedly there was this big manhunt going on for the guy?
That’s the official story folks. Not a shred of ‘conspiracy theory’ to be found in it. Not one.
That’s the official, FBI approved story. That and the fact that the kid couldn’t have put together photo-bomb with any success much less a 1,000 pound nitrate car bomb as they claim the CIs did for him:
On March 25, Booker was told that one of the FBI sources had been selected to join Booker on a suicide mission. According to the federal indictment, the two then traveled to local retailers to purchase the bomb-making components, placing them in the storage facility. Prosecutors allege that Booker told the source that he wanted to be the one who detonated the explosives.
Earlier this week, Booker and the FBI source moved the items from the storage facility to a second facility to be assembled. The two FBI informants then built the inert bomb as Booker drew up plans to deliver it to Fort Riley, according to the indictment. CJ Online
They built the bomb for him, paid for it for him and didn’t trust him to drive to the location and trigger it himself so an FBI CI had to go along for the ride?
Does that about sum it up?
Yes, they claim he made a video in which he states:
“This message is to you, America. You sit in your homes and you think that this war is just over in Iraq…Wallahi, we today we will bring the Islamic State straight to your doorstep.”
As if I need to say it again, “ISIS™ ” is nothing more than a narrative to justify Obama’s re-invasion of Iraq, reigniting the war over there. That statement seems to make that point pretty clear doesn’t it? “You think the war is over in Iraq? Think again. We’re ISIS™ ! We’re everywhere”
Yes indeed, someone is bringing ISIS™ straight to your doorstep.
And it seems pretty obvious who that someone is…
