FBI Blames Anti-Gov Extremists in More Manufactured Terrorist Schemes
The Truth Behind The News

The Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) found another patsy to frame in a manufactured terror plot. In another “sting” operation, the FBI became friendly with Matthew Aaron Llaneza, a young man with a history of mental illness. Llaneza’s handler assisted him in building a dummy improvised explosive device (IED).
Llaneza was implicated in an entrapment scheme to build an IED to detonate at a San Jose branch of Bank of America (BoA). Officials claim Llaneza wanted to start a civil war by aligning anti-government militias to the storyline.
Yet according to the FBI press release: “Unbeknownst to Llaneza, the explosive device that he allegedly attempted to use had been rendered inoperable by law enforcement and posed no threat to the public.”
Llaneza was charged with “attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction against property used in an activity that affects interstate or foreign commerce.”
The FBI asserted that it was “Llaneza’s stated goal was to trigger a governmental crackdown, which he expected would trigger a right-wing counter-response against the government followed by, he hoped, civil war.” The FBI went on to claim: “Llaneza’s arrest was the culmination of an undercover operation during which he was closely monitored by the FBI’s South Bay Joint Terrorism Task Force.”
Framing Llaneza was quite easy considering he had a long history of mental illness. He had been taken to a psychiatric hospital for observation after an attempted suicide where doctors diagnosed him with possible schizophrenia and having bipolar disorder.
Last October, the FBI recruited another pasty to blow up the Federal Reserve Building in New York. Like in the Llaneza case, the FBI claimed they were protecting the “Homeland” by exposing this terroristic scheme they concocted.
Mary Galligan, acting assistant director of the FBI stated: “It is important to emphasize that the public was never at risk in this case, because two of the defendant’s ‘accomplices’ were actually an FBI source and an FBI undercover agent. The FBI continues to place the highest priority on preventing acts of terrorism.”
The US District Court confirmed that the IED built by the recuited FBI patsy was intended to be used against the New York Federal Reserve Bank. “The material that purported to be the explosive material was actually inert and posed no threat to the safety of the public,” the document established this idea which was used to fuel criticism of the federal government’s terror-war tactics – that include cultivating terrorists and supplying all their terror needs.
In September, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) requested 700 pounds of high density ammonium nitrate and 700 pounds of A-5 Flake RDX explosives. These ingredients are known to be very high powered explosives.
The DHS was given oversight of procurement of ammonium nitrate after Congress requested they “regulate the sale and transfer of ammonium nitrate by an ammonium nitrate facility…to prevent the misappropriation or use of ammonium nitrate in an act of terrorism.” The Ammonium Nitrate Security Program focuses on preventing a terrorist attack by use of ammonium nitrate in a home-made bomb by requiring that its sale and those that purchase it be registered with the DHS. Purchasers are screened against the Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB).
Meanwhile, the DHS and FBI are warning about the threat of false flag attacks using improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and “anarchists”.
Domestic terrorists, according to the DHS, are more of a threat to American safety than foreign terrorist organizations. This harkens to the 2009 report DHS published for the Obama administration called “Rightwing Extremism” that stated domestic extremists, particularly white supremacists, were proposed to be the newest and most dangerous threat to the US since al-Qaeda.
While admitting that the agency had no definitive proof that “domestic rightwing terrorists are currently planning acts of violence, [however] rightwing extremists may be gaining new recruits by playing on their fears about several emergent issues. The economic downturn and the election of the first African American president present unique drivers for rightwing radicalization and recruitment.”
The FBI warned that anarchists would throw eggs and Molotov cocktails at the RNC convention and are still decrying extremists will attack the DNC in order to disrupt the proceedings. The FBI claimed that “given the historical precedence and recent arrests, we assess anarchist extremists will likely continue to exploit lawful protests to facilitate violent criminal activity at events like the upcoming political conventions.”
Funded by the DHS, at the University of Rhode Island, Jimmie Carol Oxley, chemist and professor, works with the DHS on projects with her students to analyze IEDs from manufacturing to various “terroristic scenarios” that these diverse explosives could be used for.
Oxley has worked with many governmental agencies, such as the FBI, NSF, and National Academy of Sciences (NAS) National Research Council (NRC); as well as written over 80 papers on “energetic materials (explosives, propellants, pyrotechnics). She has worked on law enforcement issues [with the FBI simulating the World Trade Center bombing (1993), with FEL examining large fertilizer bombs, and with ATF studying the behavior of pipe bombs]; however, her main research interest is hazard analysis of energetic materials.”
On a 2,200 acre site, Oxley and her students take IEDs constructed in the lab and detonate them to “see what happens.” They use chemicals such as hydrogen peroxide to study how chemical additives can reduce or exacerbate the effects of a home-made bomb. Most of Oxley’s students go on to work for the DHS specializing in criminal and terrorist investigations.
