That Portland Terror Plot

Once again, the FBI encourages someone to commit a terrorist attack, sets him up with the weapon, and stops him just in time, thank goodness. Just as before, we are told over and over that the crime was in no real danger of being carried out, and yet we are supposed to thank the federal government for preempting that which they promise us never came close to happening. See Larisa Alexandrovna on this latest example of the FBI instigating a phony and contrived terror plot, stopped by the FBI. She writes:
Here is the problem I have with this whole thing. Would this teen have given up after no contact was made with the second Pakistani associate, or would he have continued on his path toward Jihad in Pakistan? Would he have even considered a domestic attack on his own? The FBI opened the door to the domestic attack. The FBI stoked his interest in committing a crime. That for me contaminates the case.
Alexandrovna points out that Mohamed Osman Mohamud could have easily been arrested on other occasions, and that if indeed he was a real threat, the FBI was playing with fire by egging him on. Had he actually carried out the attack, would not have the FBI been conspirators or accessories? It would seem so.
And all this time I thought that the function of the FBI was to lock up criminals, not to create them.
Silly me.

Even the rocks cry out “False Flag” event! It will be used to further reduce our freedom. The next order will be to limit the number of people who can gather at one place. If all the False flags were posted in a single listing it would knock your socks off.

You leave out the most important part... entrapment. Entrapment is when a law enforcement official (in this case, FBI agents) break the law in an attempt to get a suspect to break the law. By egging the suspect on, they not only contaminated the case, they are guilty of entrapment and should serve sentences in jail equal to the suspect’s.
Lest we forget; “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal...” What these agents did was make themselves coconspirators. If we lived in a society that believed the above words, they would be arrested, tried, and if convicted, dealt with accordingly.
Sadly, we live in a nation where as George Orwell so succinctly put it in his book Animal Farm “...some animals are created more equal than others.”

All of these false flags, entrapment, setting people up, stool pigeons or whatever else you wanna call it is leading straight to something very dangerous which those of us who have lived under Communist regimes know all to well: pre-emptive laws. Take for example, the Cuban law against laziness (Ley Contra la Vagancia), I kid you not! Under this law, the government had the right to profile citizens to determine which ones had a propensity to become “lazy” (unemployed). Get this, you could be a student or a full time worker, however, for whatever the reason, the government determined that at any point in the future there was a possibility that you could become lazy (whether that was voluntarily or involuntary never waged in the consideration) and, zap! They had the right to arrest that person at their place of employment or educational institution and put them in jail for years.
Y’all got that? No? Confused? Well, that makes two of us. However, the government was crystal clear on what it had to do, when and to whom. The US government has, apparently, been taking lessons from Fidel Castro.
