The facts snipped below have been reported by the NYT, Time, etc.; so this is not some kooky CT. The FBI belatedly released these facts at the trial of the shooter's wife. It looks like the FBI wants her to take the fall for their "asset", the father - who seems quite deeply connected to Hillary, several warmongering Congresscritters, and the Deep State.

I'm linking to the Zero Hedge account because it has actual court filings about this. (Spoiler: the judge refused to declare a mistrial despite the fact that this evidence was withheld until after testimony had closed.) The ZH comments section (wear rubber gloves to pick out the gold nuggets from the bucketfuls of noxious crap) links to more interesting facts about the father, the FBI, plots against Pakistan, attempts to run the father for President of Afghanistan (WTF? unbelivable.)

The complete failure of not only the FBI, but the security company G4S, who employed the shooter, to bust someone openly and repeatedly bragging of his connection to terrorists speaks volumes about how dirty and shady the private police racket is and how deeply corrupt all our law enforcement is.

Oh, BTW, this all happened on Comey and Mueller's watch. In light of this new fact, their public statements about the shooting smell pretty bad.

I am not a massacre-denier (although some in the ZH thread bring in photos that they claim show crisis actors rehearsing), but these kinds of stories clearly and repeatedly demonstrate that perpetrators of massacres were well-known by (if not actually part of) our security agencies. Its no wonder that rightwing CTers have built elaborate massacre-denier stories. I mean, just recall all the holes, inconsistencies, and lack of motivation in the Las Vegas massacre story.

IMHO, the massacres are real; but they are LIHOPs. The security services track these nutbars, maybe even steer them a little, then stand back and let them go ballistic. The payoff: public outcry forces government to give more power to security services. The whole thing is Crassus' fire brigade. They burn down houses to increase demand for their services.

Testimony and court documents from the trial of Noor Salman - the widow of Pulse nightclub shooter Omar Mateen, reveals that Omar's father - who sat right behind Hillary Clinton at an August, 2016 campaign rally, was an FBI informant for over a decade...

Disturbingly, Omar Mateen was such a threat that his co-workers reported him to the FBI - who had his supervisor wear a wire to try and capture Omar bragging about connections to terrorism.

Martin also testified about investigating Omar Mateen, after co-workers at the security firm G4S reported in 2013 that Mateen had made comments about being connected to Al Qaeda, Hezbollah and the Muslim Brotherhood. Martin had Mateen’s supervisor wear a concealed recording device. -Orlando Sentinel

The elder Mateen also made several money transfers to Turkey and Afghanistan between March 16, 2016 and June 5, 2016 - a week before the Pulse attack.

Pulse Nightclub Killer's Father Was Decade-Long FBI Informant, Planned Terrorist Attacks Against Pakistan

Here are some snips from various comments:

And as attorney Robert Barnes concisely sums up:

Facts Obama's FBI under #Mueller & @comey knew:

1/ Mateen bragging to co-workers about terror ties so badly, they reported him to FBI;

2/ Mateen bragging to others about terror ties led a sheriff's deputy called FBI;

3/ reported Mateen family ties to domestic & foreign terrorists

This FBI connection is a new twist, but not surprising. The father has connections in Congress and State, and is a known CIA asset with his own TV show on the US/Paki-sponsored propaganda network in Afghanistan.

The "shooter" son was a Gay Muslim who worked for the UK security company G4S, and was contracted to DHS. His job? Picking up catch-and-release illegal aliens for Obama's infiltrating alien army and taking them to the bus station.

Puzzled me to see the Father in VIP seating at Clinton's rally a few days later. No mystery, as a good Muzzie asset he ok'ed them to off his gay son as part of the psyop. Quite likely he was offered Clinton's future help in his bid for the Afghan presidency.

This one sums up my attitude about the security firm:

Every time an American applies for a low-wage, temporary or part-time job, s/he is put through endless, mouse-on-a-treadmill scrutiny to make sure that s/he is a perfect “fit” for the job, however low paying and short term it is. It is super-important to get just the right person for this $10-per-hour six-week call center gig.

All of this melodrama over finding just the right match for these low-wage churn jobs, but these professionals cannot spot a terrorist employee, even when the terrorist is telling them straight-up...

Upon hearing that he bragged about terrorism, did the managers who hired the Orlando mass murderer at the security firm fire him?

Managers fire other citizens all the time, including those who meet quotas every month and work long hours, coming to work every day and staying all day, for frivolous-beyond-belief reasons, but they chose to overlook outright scary stuff with this guy.

Oh, and then there's a reminder of another Clinton Creature scandal which has been sent to the memory hole:

That's what ya get with Imran Awan the IT Administrator for the Dems and Wasserman Schultz in the House of Representatives.

With dots this easy to connect, you can see how rightwingers paint the picture they do.

In closing, :sigh:. We live in a refugee camp; and every once in a while, the oligarchs shoot up one of the tents just to keep the refugees terrified and subservient.
