Sometimes I wonder if they create these situations to throw people off their game and leave highly riduculous clues for people to find.
Can they really be this dumb?
According to Forbidden Knowledge TV, Sayocâs CIA friend Ricki is former CIA agent Enrique âRicâ Prado.
In a social media post in 2016, Sayoc wrote: âI would like to wish my great friend from Academy 9 yrs military school Ricki a happy birthday and lifetime from CIA. Congrats on your invention and many successes my brother.â Sayocâs social media accounts have now been expunged from the net. But early yesterday morning, an enterprising netizen managed to take a screenshot of Sayocâs 2016 post:
IHow to Get Away With Murder in America, author Evan Wright tells the story of Enrique Prado, a high-ranking CIA-officer-turned-Blackwater-employee who oversaw assassination units for both the CIA and the contractor. A federal organized crime squad run out of the Miami-Dade Police Department tied Prado to seven murders carried out while he worked as a bodyguard for a narco crime boss. At the time, the CIA declared him unavailable for questioning; the investigation was shut down before he was arrested or tried. (The Atlantic)

of a doubt Cesar's long time friend is "Ricki" Prado. this is mind boggling.
A longtime friend of Cesar Sayoc is a former CIA officer.

President Donald Trump borrowed a serpent staff from a child at the White House Halloweenevent on Sunday to wave in the direction of the media as he and first lady Melania Trumpdistributed chocolate bars and twizzlers to the children of military families before once again attacking the press on Twitter.
'Do you know what I'm doing,' he asked the two little girls, who were dressed in Egyptian style costumes as the first lady chuckled at his antics.
She patted a little guy dressed as a yellow duck on the head and tugged the ear of a little girl dressed as a white rabbit.

Wow. Yet they forced shutdown of Gab.com!!! WTF!
This is absolutely insane, sick and very alarming. Watching the news as of late I feel like I'm trapped in a dystopian episode of Black Mirror. Back in the day when I was growing up this kind of behavior got you instant prison time or firing squad.
Actually the mere thought of it was frowned upon. Well, I hope these idiots realize they have themselves documented, tracked, and monitored on SS sh#tlist for Life!!
Here's an Attempted assassination story which happened in my neck of the woods, Vegas but it sure as hell didn't stay in Vegas. Deport all them bloody Brits! Ok just kidding. Any Brits here might want to keep an eye on this one.
Osmakac was 25 years old on January 7, 2012, when he filmed what the FBI and the U.S. Department of Justice would later call a âmartyrdom video.â He was also broke and struggling with mental illness.
After recording this video in a rundown Days Inn in Tampa, Florida, Osmakac prepared to deliver what he thought was a car bomb to a popular Irish bar. According to the government, Osmakac was a dangerous, lone-wolf terrorist who would have bombed the Tampa bar, then headed to a local casino where he would have taken hostages, before finally detonating his suicide vest once police arrived.
But if Osmakac was a terrorist, he was only one in his troubled mind and in the minds of ambitious federal agents. The government could not provide any evidence that he had connections to international terrorists. He didnât have his own weapons. He didnât even have enough money to replace the dead battery in his beat-up, green 1994 Honda Accord.
Osmakac was the target of an elaborately orchestrated FBI sting that involved a paid informant, as well as FBI agents and support staff working on the setup for more than three months. The FBI provided all of the weapons seen in Osmakacâs martyrdom video. The bureau also gave Osmakac the car bomb he allegedly planned to detonate, and even money for a taxi so he could get to where the FBI needed him to go. Osmakac was a deeply disturbed young man, according to several of the psychiatrists and psychologists who examined him before trial. He became a âterroristâ only after the FBI provided the means, opportunity and final prodding necessary to make him one.

MD, optics.
It has been postulated that "as the world turns" is a reference to JFK assassination day and that tracking that, and a few other drops, we can concluded DJT has had nearly ten attempts on his life. Including from missals. We spoke about this months ago, how would this read if he were to expose this? Could the population deal with the truths?
Sure the "at any cost" folks will see failed assassinations as a job failure, but the rest may have trouble dealing with the concept. So DJT/Q team took the high road for optics. Deal with the real one's quietly and discreetly. Leave the rants, tweets, and even TV folks calling for death alone, as it would simply invite the wrong response.
I agree, it is completely nuts.
One lingering question for FBI director Robert Mueller
0
Â
Back in 1976, as we were celebrating the 200th birthday of this republic, Congress passed a law limiting the tenure of the FBI director to 10 years.
This was done because, after the scandalous findings of the Church Commission, Congress realized that letting J. Edgar Hoover serve as director of the bureau from its founding in 1935 until his death in 1972 had only confirmed Lord Actonâs maxim that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Hoover was a power unto himself, and the FBI that was created very much in his image sometimes acted more like the secret police of the totalitarian regimes Hoover regularly denounced: running rogue wiretaps, harassing political dissidents, using illegal means to collect evidence. Hooverâs FBI wasnât accountable; it was untouchable.
ADVERTISEMENT
So now, just weeks after the FBIâs worst nightmare, a gangster and FBI informant by the name of Whitey Bulger came strolling back into town, Congress is about to ignore its own wisdom and let Bob Mueller, the FBI director and former US Attorney in Boston, stay on an extra two years.

President Obama says he needs Mueller to stay because thereâs been so much turnover in the national security teams at the CIA and Pentagon, and thatâs all well and good.
Mueller has wide, bipartisan support in Congress. To paraphrase Lloyd Bentsen, I know Bob Mueller and heâs no J. Edgar Hoover, though the folks at the ACLU might take exception to that.
The recent FBI targeting of antiwar and labor activists in the Midwest has a disturbing echo of the days when the bureau considered Martin Luther King Jr. a sinister threat to national security.
But Muellerâs a Marine veteran and tough enough to take a question or two before Congress gives the president what he wants, and Mike Albano is just the guy to ask it: What did you know about Whitey Bulger, and when did you know it?
ADVERTISEMENT
Back in the 1980s, when he was serving on the Massachusetts parole board, Albano expressed some sympathy for a group of men who had always maintained they had been framed for the 1965 gangland murder of a hoodlum named Teddy Deegan in Chelsea. The FBI had been instrumental in seeing that the men - Peter Limone, Henry Tameleo, Joe Salvati, and Louis Greco - were convicted. The FBI contended that Tameleo was the consigliere of the Mafia in Boston, and that Limone was a Mafia leader. There is no question that both men were bad actors, and Mafia players, but the evidence showed that neither had anything to do Deeganâs murder.
So in 1983, after Albano indicated he might vote to release Limone, he got a visit from a pair of FBI agents named John Connolly and John Morris. They told Albano that the men convicted of Deeganâs murder were bad guys, made guys.
âThey told me that if I wanted to stay in public life, I shouldnât vote to release a guy like Limone,ââ Albano said. âThey intimidated me.ââ
Turns out that Connolly was Whitey Bulgerâs corrupt handler and Morris was Connollyâs corrupt supervisor. When they werenât pocketing bribes from Bulger, they were helping him murder potential witnesses who were poised to expose the FBIâs sordid, Faustian deal with the rat named Whitey Bulger.
Albano was messing with the FBIâs national policy of going after the Mafia and the Mafia alone. That was the justification the FBI gave for making deals with devils like Whitey Bulger and his partner in crime, Stevie Flemmi. They were supposedly giving up their pals in the Mafia. The problem with the FBIâs national policy is that it didnât take into account that the most vicious, murderous gangsters in Boston were Whitey Bulger and Stevie Flemmi.
ADVERTISEMENT
After Albano was elected mayor of Springfield in 1995, he soon found the FBI hot on his tail, investigating his administration for corruption. The FBI took down several people in his administration, and Albano is convinced that the FBI wasnât interested in public integrity as much as in publicly humiliating him because he dared to defy them.
The recent FBI targeting of antiwar and labor activists in the Midwest has a disturbing echo of the days when the bureau considered Martin Luther King Jr. a sinister threat to national security.
Kevin Cullen,  Globe Columnist
In 2001, the four men convicted of Teddy Deeganâs murder were exonerated. Turned out the FBI let them take the rap to protect one of their informants, a killer named Vincent âJimmyââ Flemmi, who just happened to be the brother of their other rat, Stevie Flemmi. Thanks to the FBIâs corruption, taxpayers got stuck with the $100 million bill for compensating the framed men, two of whom, Greco and Tameleo, died in prison.
Albano was appalled that, later that same year, Mueller was appointed FBI director, because it was Mueller, first as an assistant US attorney then as the acting US attorney in Boston, who wrote letters to the parole and pardons board throughout the 1980s opposing clemency for the four men framed by FBI lies.
Of course, Mueller was also in that position while Whitey Bulger was helping the FBI cart off his criminal competitors even as he buried bodies in shallow graves along the Neponset.
