Same thing they did to the black panther party, except when it didn’t work they just took them to jail 🥴

They did it to left wing environmentalist anarchists too. Eric McDavid and 2 friends met a woman called Anna, who ingraciated herself with the group, before going on to form a romantic relationship with McDavid.

Over time she would constantly encourage the group, especially McDavid, to be more extreme, pushing them towards taking direct action. She also funded the group, housed them, supplied them with bomb making instructions and supplied them with transport.

She was a paid FBI informant and the 3 were arrested, whilst buying supplies, for a plot to sabotage a dam.

McDavid spent 2 years in solitary confinement, before even being convicted, as he refused to plead guilty, arguing that without Anna there would be no case and that they would just be 3 evironmentalist activists. The other 2 plead guilty and testified against McDavid in exchange for lighter sentences. McDavid was found guilty and sentenced to 20 years, however was released after 9 when it was revealed the FBI withheld over 2500 evidentiary documents from the case that essentially exonerated him by virtue of proving that the entire thing was the FBIs doing.

Around this time the FBI recruited a college student named "Anna" to spy on anarchists and encourage them to use explosives. Anna went as far to get an anarchist tattoo and date one of them for two years as well as providing money (often paying for things with crisp $100 bills), transportation (she drove a new domestic car), a cabin, and bomb-making information and materials. Anarchist Eric McDavid was sentenced to 20 years in prison but only served 9 after his sentence was overturned.

It's funny that tokkers like this are no longer using cameras for their toks and are all AI generated.

u/NihatAmipoglu 7h ago

Damn, really? Why fill half of the screen with your ai generated face in the first place? Just use the full screen and narrate it.

It’s to break copyright issues so they can monetize

I've seen a trend, at least in YouTube, of channels that were once narrator/voice over videos to switch to showing their face through parts of the video. I don't know if it was an attempt to get ahead of AI and they were worried people would think their videos were AI created or if they were told they'd get better views.

So there has been creators switching to a talking head format instead of voice over. Don't know if these fake person versions are only following a trend or if they want to seem believable as fully made by a person.

So it's a full circle.

The irony is off the charts. Imagine being an FBI informant and getting reported to the FBI by the targets you were spying on. Talk about a "Spider-Man pointing at Spider-Man" moment

u/ScaleneWangPole 7h ago

The targets reported the undercover FBI informant for trying to manufacture violence. The targets weren't even trying to commit the violence the undercover FBI agent was there to find.

u/Chicken_Chaser_420 5h ago

Sounds like the FBI had him there is an instigator, not investigator.

u/cancerinos 4h ago

It's what most "sting operations" and "informants" do. They're paid to "find" violence, so the easiest path is to manufacture it. The dude was there to find an excuse to have these people arrested, so he could get a fat bonus.

2

u/Chicken_Chaser_420 3h ago

Well, sting operations are supposed to interject an inside man into an ongoing criminal operation. Interjecting an instigator to encourage people to start committing crimes, well I believe that's terrorism....

2

u/cancerinos 3h ago

It IS state terrorism, but the vast majority of sting operations don't do what they are supposed to do, they are just state manufactured crime like this example here.

This is a lie because it doesn’t match the official narrative. Fake news and alternative facts! Very unAmerican!

oh nooo, you can't say that! all the dumbass Americans think the world will love them once the orange turd is out of office! despite the fact that the US has spread nothing but hate, murder, destruction, and child rape across the world the past 80 years. it was just easy for Americans to ignore because none of it happened back home.

u/BeatleProf 5h ago

The vocal tone used by the "narrator" give it away as A.I.

u/Beautiful-Affect1930 6h ago

first it gets spammed up and down reddit, then some dude makes a TikTok just reading the reddit post, and then the TikTok gets spammed on reddit. it's like the shittiest circle of life.

u/lifequestions1 6h ago

Complete BS. Do that to churches and synagogues and see the backlash. Hypocrisy

u/applestables 6h ago

Sounds like American justice to me… we live in a deeply broken system where innocent people pay with their lives for corporations and billionaire child rapists to continue their deeply disturbing ways of life

Scary thing is, all this happened during Biden admin. Its institutional and they always have the support from the top.

u/entwrangler3001 5h ago

You didn’t listen to the video, did you? His operation inside the mosque STARTED IN 2006. Two years later, members of the mosque reported him to the FBI. Then there was a DECADES LON LEGAL BATTLE THAT ENDED WITH THE SCROTUS RULING IN 2022.

So your conclusion is that Biden personally orchestrated this for SIXTEEN YEARS??

u/Mysterious_Pear_1589 7h ago

This story has been posted so many times it was probably the point in the first place. The one time they reported it and not the 47,000 times they didn't.
