Watch this news vanish: Pulse Shooter's father is FBI informant

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.

https://www.globalresearch.ca/father-of-orlando-shooter-is-long-time-ci

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.

https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-06-12/orlando-shooter-worked-securi

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.

will just continue the same old bullshit routine of Punch Down, Punch Left, as has been done since the day the 'Murican Empire was established in 1789. Rights? Nah. We've never had those. The sacred parchment only grants privileges to those who are worthy of them. The rest just work here.

I've been following that completely bogus trial. She's been held for a year with no bail. (and no case.)

Her IQ is in the bottom quarter.

The judge is furious.

Not saying you are wrong; but I didn't see anything about the judge's attitude, only his ruling.

I guess I could dig into the court case; but its the Deep State connections that interest me. Can you share anything you've read about whether the judge is really reaming out the prosection?

Also, why has the case has been going on for a year? I doubt the defense has money or desire to stretch it out that long. Is the prosecution trying to bankrupt the defendant on top of railroading her? All this to someone "in the lower quarter of IQ" ( that would be IQ less than 90 by my googling).

IN A FEDERAL COURTROOM in Orlando this afternoon, the prosecution of Noor Salman, the wife of Pulse nightclub shooter Omar Mateen, suffered a major setback. In front of the jury, a glaring hole in the prosecutors’ case was exposed by the questioning of FBI Special Agent Richard Fennern directly from U.S. District Judge Paul Byron. Outside the presence of the jury, the judge in angry tones made clear that he believed he had been misled for months by prosecutors about a key part of the government’s evidence, which was exposed today as being a fraud.

https://theintercept.com/2018/03/22/at-trial-of-omar-mateens-wife-judges...

Upon hearing Fennern’s testimony that this crucial part of Salman’s statement could not have been true, and that the FBI knew this very early on, the judge began questioning him in front of the jury about the FBI’s discovery that this claim was false. After taking a break, but prior to the return of the jury, the judge more aggressively scolded the prosecutors: “I’ve heard many, many times the drive around Pulse nightclub had occurred.” “I think I’ve kicked the beehive,” he added.

.

But factions within the FBI have long wanted to prosecute the wives and girlfriends of accused terrorists on the ground of complicity — especially when the couple is Muslim — and the Salman case presented an opportunity to finally do so. But from the start, there has been an extreme dearth of such evidence regarding Salman’s guilt; indeed, much of the available evidence strongly suggests she could not have participated in the attack.

The usual FBI entrapment and lying: The incriminating statements were written not by Salman, but by FBI agents, based on their claims about what Salman had said during their interviews with her — interviews which they did not record.

For many reasons, the idea that Mateen would conspire with or confide in her about his planned attack lacks all credibility: Salman has a low IQ that places her in the bottom 20th percentile of the population; she was regularly physically abused and lied to by her husband, who carried on multiple affairs with women behind her back; and she had no access to the couple’s funds. He treated her like property, not like a partner, accomplice or trusted confidant.

But as FBI agents spent hours questioning her — during which they threatened to take her son and told her what they believed had happened — she began to submit to their suggestions. Subsequent examinations revealed that Salman, in addition to having a low IQ, is also at the extreme end of suggestibility tests,

Wow, the FBI is really beginning to look like cheap thugs! And, this was when Comey and Mueller, those paragons of virtue (LOL!), were in charge. This playing games with unrecorded interviews is emerging as a pattern of FBI "prosecutions". Their vindictiveness and overkill have long been trademark behaviors; nothing new there.

I wonder if they are going to have a little talk with the judge on this? Or does no one really pay attention to last year's massacres? Just let the whole thing fade into the background as they ramp up the confrontation with Russia?

This FBI 2.0 writes "memos" to themselves that they later use as actual evidence. I believe Comey started the trend, but McCabe was ready to pull out his little memo book, too.

Libertarian tropes. As in,

"The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury”

The quotation is usually attributed to George Washington (1732-1799), but there is no evidence that he ever said it.

Translation: Some Libertarian said it, then they lied about George Washington to give them some credibility. Because Libertarians are complete humbugs.

But I digress, its true that the government (as in democracy, as opposed to millitarized police state) is on its last legs and that all the QE, on top of massive deficits, has ammounted to looting. The last non-military assets left are Social Security and Medicare, which will soon be declared bankrupt because they spent all the money gold-plating F-35s, ABMs, and Zumwault class garbage scows.
