Just in case any IBA readers don't know what this post is referring to:
The FBI clearly knew the attack on our free speech event was coming (although it didn’t bother to inform us or our security team), as this FBI agent was right there, following behind the jihadis, whom he had encouraged to “tear up Texas.”
But even though they knew the attack was coming, they didn’t have a team in place to stop the jihadis. They had one man there, and one man only.
The jihadis were not stopped by FBI agents, but by our own security team. If the jihadis had gotten through our team, they would have killed Pamela Geller and me, and many others. (They would no doubt have loved to kill Geert Wilders, but he left before they arrived.)
It was revealed in August 2016 that this undercover FBI agent encouraged the jihadis:
“Days before an ISIS sympathizer attacked a cartoon contest in Garland, Texas, he received a text from an undercover FBI agent. ‘Tear up Texas,’ the agent messaged Elton Simpson days before he opened fire at the Draw Muhammad event, according to an affidavit (pdf) filed in federal court Thursday.”
What was the FBI’s game in telling them to do that? Why didn’t they have a phalanx of agents in place, ready to stop the attack? Or did they want the attack to succeed, so that Barack Obama’s vow that “the future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam” would be vividly illustrated, and intimidate any other Americans who might be contemplating defending the freedom of speech into silence?
We twice asked the clueless and corrupt FBI for an investigation into this matter. They ignored us.
