THE FBI GROOMED A 16-YEAR-OLD WITH “BRAIN DEVELOPMENT ISSUES” TO BECOME A TERRORIST
The Intercept ^ | June 15, 2023 | Murtaza Hussain

LAST WEEK, the Department of Justice announced the arrest of a teenager in Massachusetts on allegations of providing financial support to the Islamic State group.

A flurry of reports picked up on the arrest of Mateo Ventura, an 18-year-old resident of the sleepy town of Wakefield, echoing government claims that an international terrorist financier and ISIS supporter had just been busted in the United States. The Department of Justice’s own press release on the case likewise trumpeted Ventura’s arrest for “knowingly concealing the source of material support or resources that he intended to go to a foreign terrorist organization.”

The only “terrorist” he is accused of ever being in contact with was an undercover FBI agent who befriended him online as a 16-year-old. The only problem with the case and how it has been described, however, is that according to the government’s own criminal complaint, Ventura had never actually funded any terrorist group. The only “terrorist” he is accused of ever being in contact with was an undercover FBI agent who befriended him online as a 16-year-old, solicited small cash donations in the form of gift cards, and directed him not to tell anyone else about their intimate online relationship, including his family.

It is very hard to catch a real terrorist; easier to groom a high school kid.

How many domestic and foreign terrorists were created by the FBI and CIA?

Been convinced most all the “mass” shooters have been FBI/CIA groomed.

Sort of like how so many of these lone gunmen have parents or other relatives that work for the FBI or CIA? How about how the would be assassin of Reagan was the son of one of Bush Senior’s business partners, who just happened to have his criminal investigation dropped by the FBI weeks after the assassination attempt?

As a matter of percentages 50% of this terrorist cell was the FBI.

The other 50% was a 16 yr. old with an underdeveloped brain.

I’d rather have an underdeveloped brain than such underdeveloped morals FWIW.

And this worked out so well for the government with Ted Kaczynski, didn’t it?

Oh. I thought this was another article on Ted Kaczynski.

Except it was the CIA that mind bleeped him.

The FIB is a terrorist group so I guess he is technically guilty.

Why not? Several of the recent mass firearm murders have the same MO. The perps weren’t sent to do the killings. They were just groomed for them.
