Turns out that bomb plot against the NY state capitol was essentially planned and funded by the FBI who then got someone to take part in preparation for execution before arresting them for terrorism. Wow.

It goes back even further too, they’d have plants in groups like the Black Panthers, ingratiate themselves to the leadership, and then accuse actual dedicated members of being feds, suggest killing them, and then arrest everyone involved once the deed was actually done. The FBI creates a lot of terrorists so they can flaunt themselves arresting the terrorist they created.

I mean, J. Edgar Hoover’s name is still on the FBI headquarters, and Hoover was 100% an evil man. Hoover was an ardent racist who believed that the Civil Rights Movement was a Communist plot to destroy America. This dude had such a low opinion of Black people that he thought it had to be Soviet spies and Communists riling up Black people against segregation. Like he thought they couldn’t use their own eyes to see the situation they were being held in. And his legacy is still in the FBI.

And with the FBI, much like with the regular police, it’s not like NOTHING they do is worthwhile, it’s not like NOTHING they do is good. Some of the work is good. When the FBI broke the back of the KKK in one of their earliest major cases, that was good. When the FBI broke up the mafia in the 1970s, that was good. But these institutions then use those good things as a shield when they do heinous shit. It becomes “yeah, we did a bad thing, but where would we be if we hadn’t done the good ones?”
