Who do we trust?
None. Everything this country taught me as truth was a lie, unless one has enough money to look the other way. It's like talking to HR at work, nothing changes but they'll still try to win you back with more lies.
They breed terror so they can come back to be a hero.
The FBI's political surveillance was not a result of popular hysteria, such as scholars used to claim, or a rational response to communist spying and the Cold War confrontation, such as a number of historians have recently argued. Instead, it was an integrated part of the attempt by the modern federal state, rooted in the Progressive Era, to regulate and control any organized opposition to the political, economic and social order, such as organized labor, radical movements and African-American protest.
The FBI working against progress shouldn't really be surprising when this is what they did in their formative years. It's a big mistake to think we were stupid in the past and that we're above doing what we used to do, today, and I'm really starting to wonder if intelligence agencies actually are a net positive the more I read about them, at least they seem like they're well overdue for some radical reforming to ensure they act in the best interest of common people, rather than whatever they're doing now and historically.

All of them, for the ruling class.
The Deep State at work. It has always served conservative interests and established power.
Then why is the FBI hunting like 01/06 animals like a fucking Terminator? Still nailing those fuckers, seems like one every day, even after nearly 2-years.
That's the DOJ prosecuting them. Are the FBI still finding them? I thought since there's video of almost all of em, its mostly about using the courts to put them in prison and make deals to get info on those who couldn't be identified.
Fbi, dhs and cia need to be destroyed and remade with real oversight.
This happens too often
Fascist Bureau of Intimidation strikes again.
