Federal agencies paid out at least $548 million to informants working for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), in recent years, according to government audits.

A few informants became millionaires, with some Amtrak and “parcel” delivery workers making nearly $1 million or more.

Many informants were authorized to commit “crimes” with the permission of their federal handlers. In a four-year period, there were 22,800 crime authorizations (2011-2014).

The FBI paid approximately $294 million (FY2012-2018), the DEA paid at least $237 million (FY2011-2015), and ATF paid approximately $17.2 million total (FY2012-2015) to informants.

I owe my existence to the FBI, and most likely they will be a big part of our collective demise.

I’m sure the OSS did some shady things and the Pinkertons prolly did some dodgy things for previous administrations.

The entire DOJ has become the Democrat’s Waffen SS.

Adolph would be jealous.

In other words, Organized Crime. At least to the extent the Feds are in fact organized.

Another little slice of Apocalypse*

An apocalypse, translated literally from Greek, is a disclosure of knowledge, i.e., a lifting of the veil or revelation

Apocalypse is coming at us from all directions. What a time to be here. Thank You Lord.

The OSS was a wartime intelligence and action agency, duly created and authorized by the president and funded by Congress.

No wonder. Every time they frame some old coot up in the hills with guns and terrorism they’ve got 4X more informants in on the frame job than they have actual targets. I think most of it is just them inciting the people to commit acts on which they can later charge them.

The Hollies Lyrics

“Long Cool Woman (In A Black Dress)”

Saturday night I was downtown
Working for the FBI
Sittin’ in a nest of bad men
Whiskey bottles piling high

Bootlegging boozer on the west side
Full of people who are doing wrong
Just about to call up the DA man
When I heard this woman sing a song

A pair of 45’s made me open my eyes
My temperature started to rise
She was a long cool woman in a black dress
Just-a 5’9, beautiful, tall
With just one look I was a bad mess
‘Cause that long cool woman had it all

[Instrumental Interlude]

I saw her heading to the table
Like a tall walking big black cat
When Charlie said I hope that you’re able boy
‘Cause I’m telling you she knows where it’s at
Then suddenly we heard the sirens
And everybody started to run
A-jumping out of doors and tables
When I heard somebody shootin’ a gun
Well the DA was pumping my left hand

And a-she was a-holding my right
Well I told her don’t get scared
‘Cause you’re gonna be spared
I’ve gotta be forgivin’ if I wanna spend my living
With a long cool woman in a black dress
Just a 5’9 beautiful tall
Yeah, with just one look I was a bad mess
‘Cause that long cool woman had it all
Had it all
Had it all

I wonder what they paid out to their provocateurs on J6.
