The FBI has a budget of $10 billion per year or so and 35,000+ employees they deign to acknowledge. I can’t imagine anything happening to change the culture of the FBI, unless it is for the worse. It was probably too late to do anything 50 years ago about the FBI, much less now.

In 1970, my best college professor issued a challenge to students in his class: “Some day you will be required to make this decision - Will you serve truth or serve power. In this world truth and power do not often travel together and your choice will reveal who you are and what you really value.”

I think we see what choice most of our “leaders” made when it mattered most.

Don Johnson, the FBI agent who leaked Richard Jewell’s name to the media, and tried to entrap him, was suspended after the agent’s abuses came to light.

When Johnson returned to work after the suspension, agents lined the hallways to give him a standing ovation.

Don’t buy the “99% of the FBI is honest” nonsense.

If I may, I’ll answer your question with a question; Is there a constitutional basis for even having a federal bureau of investigation, i.e., police force, especially given the framers’ position on human fallibility and limits on a central government?

When it comes right down to it, there’s no constitutional basis for most of the departments and agencies of our gargantuan federal government!

Dr. Bruce Ivins, senior biodefense guy at Fort Detrick, author of two anthrax patents --basically a genius microbiolgist. He was born in a small town in Ohio, his dad was a pharmacist.

Let's take a gander at juuuust how crazy Ivins was as a youth, shall we..?

Dang, get off that microscope, Buddy Holly, wow.

You know that expression, "The man was a CHOIR BOY"..? Kay, Dr. Ivins WAS an actual choir boy. Based on the above mini-bio that should not surprise you. He married a nursing student and had two kids.

He got interested in macrophages, then anthrax and received the "Decoration for Exceptional Civilian Service" — the highest award given to Defense Department civilian employees.

The Feds tried to pin the anthrax mystery on Steven Hatfill, who got pissed and won $6 mil for it, probably something that got some folks in trouble. The head of the FBI ROBERT MULLER, who at that point probably wasn't leaving the blinker on and drooling quite so much at the Bingo Parlor, then tried to ping the whole anthrax mystery onto Buddy Holly, here.

Get out..! ROBERT MULLER did that...?! Yeah, I know, it's sooooo shocking, right?

The Feds figgered it was simply self-interest; the guy had originated the tech to fight anthrax, so an outbreak of it would be something that would put fortunes and the limelight onto him, right? Like a paunchy security guard "finding" a bomb --simple. Same song, different lyrics.

Weird thing is THIS anthrax was tinier than anything in either the Soviet or US inventories, this meant in air it would have great LOFT TIME, it would stay up in the air near breathing mouths, not settle down on the ground where it might be harmless. And the anthrax also featured anti-clumping silica on it --something also very high-tech.

WHOSE was it? They still don't know.

The Feds followed Dr. Ivins around, raided his house twice and the pressure by the Feds was so great they drove him nuts and finally killed himself.

You know what the defense of the Feds was?

"Hey, he was NUTS..."

YA LIKE THAT..?

Time after time the preferred political narrative is "Peace And Prosperity" but the Feds are under pressure to make a case go away, so they just pin it on somebody nearby, and they wad it up, call it solved, and throw it into the garbage:

Case closed.

THAT is your FBI; deeply politicized and unprofessional.

Find a bomb? RUN and keep quiet. And if you have a really sharp head on your shoulders you better reconsider helping the feds with defense:

You could most unfortunately "go nuts and kill yourself".

After eight years of drinking Obama's "transformation" kool-aid, the FBI has been ruined........just one example..

FBI takes on ‘Islamophobia’: Obama sees White nationalism as bigger threat than jihadism
Leo Hohmann | 1/26/18 | FR Posted by markomalley

Two Michigan residents attended a BRIDGES meeting hosted by the Detroit office of the FBI recently that left them stunned by the level of Islamist infiltration at the Bureau. BRIDGES is a quarterly FBI outreach program that stands for Building Respect in Diverse Groups to Enhance Sensitivity, whereby the FBI hosts workshops for law enforcement and various immigrant communities.

They’ve been held in Boston, Detroit, Houston and Minneapolis-St. Paul and some city police departments host similar meetings on their own, without the FBI in attendance. According to the FBI website, BRIDGES “brings together members of diverse communities and state, local, and federal law enforcement agencies to discuss issues and concerns within their communities.”

In southeastern Michigan, those diverse communities include an array of Islamic migrant enclaves, both Shia and Sunni, as well as Coptic, Chaldean and Assyrian Christians forced to flee their Middle Eastern homelands by the Islamic State and other jihadist groups. The outreaches can sometimes go to bizarre lengths to demonstrate the FBI’s respect for Islam. In St. Paul, for example, the FBI boasted in its Oct. 7, 2014 edition of the Law Enforcement Bulletin that the local police department “hosted its first halal cookout” with the Somali Muslim community.

The Jan. 10 FBI BRIDGES meeting in Michigan serves as a fresh reminder of how the FBI has made a concerted effort to divert the eyes of law enforcement away from Muslim communities as potential breeding grounds for terror and refocus attention on “Islamophobic” American citizens. The meeting, held at the Troy Police and Fire Training Center in Oakland County, an affluent suburb of Detroit, was described as “painful to watch” by two guests who attended. Dick Manasseri, an activist with Secure Michigan and a resident of Oakland County, gained entry to the meeting by way of a guest invitation from the American Middle Eastern Christian Congress, a regular attendee. But he said he heard nothing about the plight of persecuted Middle Eastern Christians now living in Oakland County. Instead, almost the entire hour-and-a-half meeting was spent focusing on Islamic religious and cultural practices and trying to debunk any derogatory information police officers may have received about Islamic ideology.

The FBI’s point person for this task was Bushra Alawie, a young female Muslim wearing a full head covering, or hijab. Alawie served in the Army National Guard and upon leaving the Guard in September 2016 the FBI hired her to be its “community outreach specialist” in Detroit. The mother of four spoke confidently and without any trace of an accent during her presentation on Islamic “cultural education.” “I get that initial look like, ‘is that really Bushra’ because of my visibly Muslim attire,” she told Detroit’s WXYZ-TV in 2016. “Immediately those rumors are dispelled and it’s business as usual.”

Alawie admitted in the WXYZ-TV interview that her real mission at the FBI is not to ferret out tips and information useful in the apprehension of terrorists but rather it is to “combat Islamophobia.”

That just happens to be the same exact mission of the Muslim Brotherhood-offshoot Council on American-Islamic Relations, which has an entire division called the Department to Monitor and Combat Islamophobia. And while he did not attend the January meeting, CAIR’s Michigan chapter head, Dawud Walid, has a standing invitation to the FBI’s quarterly BRIDGES meetings in metro Detroit.

Also on the FBI’s invite list is CAIR’s former Michigan chapter leader, Muthanna Al-Hanooti, who was convicted in 2011 of conspiring to work for a foreign government, Saddam Hussein’s Iraq, and making false statements to the same FBI. Yes, that would be the same FBI which now courts him as a guest at its Detroit-area outreach meetings.

WATCH VIDEO AT WEB SITE : Meet Bushra Alawie, a Muslim woman working for the FBI

About that phrase “Allahu Akbar,” so frequently shouted during the commission of Islamic terrorist attacks, Alawie assured the police officers in attendance not to worry or give it a second thought. According to her, “Allahu Akbar”:
<><>Is said by Muslims 85 times a day
<><>Was said by Jews and Christians before Islam began
<><>Would be used to celebrate the birth of a child or in the prayer of a sick person
<><>Is perfectly normal and not particularly associated with violent jihad.

She explained that “jihad” means: An inner struggle – for her to “not eat cheesecake” Higher jihad – inner struggle Lower Jihad – to defend one’s property.

She mentioned that “Jihad” was even a name taken by Christian men on occasion and that there was an FBI employee of Palestinian descent whose name was Jihad. According to Alawie, if we Americans understand these subtleties, then we will be well on our way to wiping out Islamophobia. Where did the impetus for this FBI focus on Islamophobia come from?

It certainly did not originate in Oakland County, Michigan, or even Washington. It’s international in scope. “Combating Islamophobia” has been a top priority, since at least 2005, of the United Nations and the Muslim Brotherhood-dominated Organization of Islamic Cooperation, a 57-nation group of Muslim-majority nations that makes up the largest voting bloc at the U.N.

The OIC adopted its 10-year Strategic Action Plan to Overcome Islamophobia in 2005, calling for nations to pass new laws “including deterrent punishments” for those guilty of Islamophobia. This crime was described as any speech that counters the OIC’s statement that “Islam is the religion of moderation and tolerance.”

This 10-year plan served as the basis for the 2011 U.N. Human Rights Resolution 16/18, which encourages every nation in the world to adopt hate-speech laws making “defamation of religion” a crime. There is only one religion, however, that seeks to punish people for speech deemed offensive to its members – Islam. Many nations in Western Europe, including the UK, Germany and Sweden obliged, as did Canada, and passed hate-speech laws geared toward punishing these vile Islamophobes.

It was also around this same time frame – 2010 to 2012 – that lesson plans in public schools across the United States started incorporating large sections on Islam, emphasizing it as a religion of peace and tolerance. Any teacher who resisted was an Islamophobe.

In 2013 the OIC opened an office in Brussels explicitly for the purpose of combating Islamophobia in Europe.In February 2017 U.N. Secretary General Antonio Gutteres cited “Islamophobia” as the fuel that has ignited the rise of global terrorism. This U.N. focus on Islamophobia came during the peak offensives of ISIS, al-Nusra and other jihadist groups Michigan chapter head, Dawud Walid, has a standing invitation to the FBI’s quarterly BRIDGES meetings in metro Detroit.

Also on the FBI’s invite list is CAIR’s former Michigan chapter leader, Muthanna Al-Hanooti, who was convicted in 2011 of conspiring to work for a foreign government, Saddam Hussein’s Iraq, and making false statements to the same FBI. Yes, that would be the same FBI which now courts him as a guest at its Detroit-area outreach meetings.\ welcoming, welcoming, welcoming,” Manasseri said. “It was terribly discouraging, including when they talked about domestic terrorism and they kept coming back to white supremacism and how do you protect us from white nationalism? Stunning.”

To counter the false and incomplete training being given by the FBI, Manasseri has co-founded a project called Sharia Crime Stoppers in partnership with a retired police chief.

“The Muslim Brotherhood-managed FBI and its pandering to Islam at 60-plus BRIDGES meetings since the 9/11 terrorist attacks provides ample evidence that Michigan is already living under Sharia, even while it contemplates the candidacy of Sharia-compliant and Muslim Brotherhood-groomed candidate Abdul El-Sayed for governor,” Manasseri said. El-Sayed is running on the Democratic ticket in Michigan’s 2018 gubernatorial race.

CAIR’s Dawud Walid has already said, in an article for the Detroit News, that any questions to Muslim candidates about Sharia law are off limits. For any journalist or concerned citizen to ask such a question would be Islamophobic.

“Or is the FBI broken beyond repair and must be done away with?”

The FBI has been broken since J Edgar Hoover ran it.

They are a dark cult unto themselves and the deep state, not a free America.

America and most of us would be better off without the FBI/DOJ and the CIA.

When you control the language, you control the debate and ultimately the culture. Any critique of homosexuality or Islam is halted by labels of “homophobia” or Islamophobia” which is meant to stop any meaningful discussion.
