The jihadis were stopped and killed before they could commit mass murder at the Muhammad Art Exhibit and Cartoon Contest in defense of the freedom of speech. Is it possible that Obama’s FBI was hoping for a different outcome? Would that really be surprising? Is there any other explanation for the fact that they knew the jihadis were coming to kill, but did not send a team to stop them?
“Pamela Geller–Undercover FBI Agent Told Garland Jihadist: ‘Tear Up Texas,’” by Pamela Geller, Breitbart, August 8, 2016:
The Daily Beast recently reported that “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.”
The Beast’s Katie Zavadski also revealed that the undercover agent was at our free speech event in Garland, where Simpson and Nadir Soofi attempted a jihad massacre.
Zavadski and others in the left-wing media have pounced on the incitement, entrapment angle — which is absurd. These jihadis were plotting jihad at the Super Bowl and planning to travel to Syria to join ISIS, and we’re supposed to believe they were entrapped? What could anyone say to you or me that would make you a mass murderer? Nothing.
While I do believe that undercover FBI agents have to play along with the jihadis they’re dealing with, because in order to be in an informant you have to have credibility, it’s a whole other thing if you’re encouraging and cheering on the proposed murder of Americans who are standing in defense of the freedom of speech, and then not doing anything about it. Why did the FBI only have one agent there? And not a team waiting for them to shoot back?
In the wake of Garland, the media attacks on us were the overwhelming and overarching story. But outside of that, one of the stories that bubbled to the surface was that the FBI knew about the attack before it happened, but did not alert law enforcement or my security apparatus. When I first heard that the FBI had prior notice of the attack, I thought that it was very short-term notice. It was assumed by many people that the FBI had had some sketchy prior knowledge of the attack, but nothing particularly specific.
Now we find they were in on the planning of the jihad attack, and did nothing about it. If you recall, the FBI only got around to alerting Garland police about Simpson’s jihad plans three hours before our event. It was Garland police, not the FBI, that coordinated all the super security efforts with our own security team.
The FBI knew about the impending attack, one of their agents told Simpson to “tear up Texas,” and an accomplice of Simpson was even communicating with the undercover agent at the time of the attack.
The Beast reported that this accomplice “asked the undercover officer about the Draw Muhammad event’s security, size, and police presence, during the event, according to an affidavit filed in court. The affidavit does not specify what the undercover responded to questions about size and security.” Why not? Why weren’t the agent’s answers released?
They knew about the attack, yet they didn’t have a team there in case the jihadis started shooting?
It’s hard to escape the conclusion that the Obama FBI wanted me and the other speakers at the event dead. Dutch freedom fighter Geert Wilders was the keynote speaker; he has been living with armed guards for years for supposedly “insulting Islam.” My colleague Robert Spencer has received numerous death threats from Muslims. Cartoon contest winner Bosch Fawstin drew Muhammad. Did Obama’s pro-Islam FBI want us all dead?
What other conclusion can be reached?
I’ve been trying to get my mind around this thing. What was Obama trying to do? Teach Americans a lesson? Enforce the edict that he enunciated in the wake of the Benghazi jihad slaughter, that “the future must not belong to those to slander the prophet of Islam”?
If people had died at our Garland event, the murders would have had a blood-chilling effect on the freedom of speech in America. That, in my view, appears to have been what the Obama administration wanted — and certainly that’s what the enemedia wanted in the wake of our event, as it gleefully and relentlessly blamed us for violating Sharia blasphemy laws and getting shot at.
If you look at the Obama administration’s track record in regard to jihad in America, it’s abysmal and ghastly. Look at San Bernardino, Fort Hood, Chattanooga, Orlando… Garland is one of the few stories where Americans came out on top.
And now it comes out that in Garland, we have to ask whether the United States government aided and abetted the would-be murderers. It’s astonishing.
Did the Obama FBI want us dead? We need answers: we need an explanation of the FBI’s behavior that accounts for everything we know and demonstrates that this is not the case – if there is one.
This is shocking, and it should frighten every American, all across the political spectrum.

Angemon says
Do we know the religion of the FBI agents tasked with assessing security risks for the Garland event?
Peter says
One would assume that the most senior levels of the federal government, possibly even our illustrious messiah, were informed of a pending “terrorist” or “violent extremist” attack. Maybe the local police didn’t get or obey their marching orders from D.C., and shot the jihadists dead before they could have their desired affect?
Myrtle Linder says
Does Satan have a messiah? If so, I think I know who he is!!!
Richard says
The jihadists were not shot by local police who were ‘on the job’. The successful defense of those attending the event was accomplished by an off-duty cop who was part of the events private security apparatus.
Budvarakbar says
Probably the same as the “Middle Eastern looking” guy seen with McVeigh in several surveillance videos — who was most likely a double agent and half way back across the Atlantic when the bomb went off!
Richard says
Bud, read “The Third Terrorist”, by Jayna Davis if you want to know the whole truth about the “Middle Eastern” looking guy. She tracked him down dead to rights and outlines in her book how the FBI was shilling for jihad even then, and it was at the behest of Bill Clinton.
Bezelel says
That question crossed my mind too.
john spielman says
Robert spencer ET AL SHOULD sue the FBI for failing to warn you about the upcoming attack- sort of like a mini Benghazi BUT WITH OUT THE FATAL OUTCOME FOR THE GOOD GUYS /GALS
mortimer says
Angemon has a good question: Were Muslim agents controlling the FBI presence in Texas?
The duty of the police is defend the human rights of the population…WHETHER OR NOT the political party in power likes the opinions of their opponents or not.
Freedom of speech and freedom from fear are for all citizens.
Mirren10 says
Excellent point, Angemon.
mohammedans have infiltrated everywhere.
Alvin Woods says
*Law suit*. Robert, sue them for willful neglience. They put too many people’s lives at risk.
I asked the same question in the last post on this.
What if the attackers had a car bomb? Back up? Or had actually gained entry?
Why only one agent? Why didn’t the FBI have an ambush in place or raid the attackers in their homes?
They left you all, including the Texas police high and dry.
Sue them with class action law suit. Get everyone in that building to sue the FBI.
Budvarakbar says
Just like they set up the OSP to blow away a 70 yr old unarmed guy with his hands up and floundering around in a snowbank
Alvin Woods says
“It’s hard to escape the conclusion that the Obama FBI wanted me and the other speakers at the event dead”
Using their useful patsys the jihadists who they could wipe out overnight but are keeping around to implement their soft pc totalitarian society.
abbas says
The FBI knew jihadis were targeting Garland free speech event. So why did they have only one agent there?

exactly why would USA do any thing serious against terrorism after all its Satan USA police to support and promote terrorism
USA took 10 year to find its old ally Osama and it will take even more years to find USA created Isis current leader Baghdadi because it do not want to kill its created monster in its childhood
*—————-
USA is biggest arms producer and seller so it need a constant war to run his death machines ( explosive + weapons ) businesses . for that USA planned 9/11 drama with help of Israel + Saudi and started a never ending war on terrorism .
Satan USA supports and promotes terrorism
USA attacks and ruins countries for this or that reason , while it could have killed his own old ally Osama with drones etc ..
but it attacked Afghanistan and then Libya , Syria , Iraq and drones in Pakistan , Yemen , Somalia etc. and Americans are still debating that they should declare war on Islam etc . what wild pigs western could have done more since 2001 , after attacking 9 Muslim countries , and interference in all other countries internal matters and always trying to change regimes
USA has killed million and millions of innocent common peoples , destroyed lives and future of millions of families since 2001 in the name of ” world PEACE”
but in reality world is more unsafe and closer to ww3 than ever
USA politicians , media industries are own by greedy evil Jews
Satan USA and son Satan Israel are both terrorist states
universal truth
” All wars are banker wars and all bank owners are Jews “

America does arm jihadist to the teeth. They funded the mujihadeen in Afghanistan, they armed Isis. That’s all because money talks, and the defense contractors control the US govt as much as any corporations. Right-wingers don’t point this out, because they don’t like to admit the US govt is bought and paid for by corporations. And the war merchants – defense contractors – most of all.

Of course–it’s not as though abbas’ fellow Muslims are murdering people all over the world–including places where the “Great Satan” has no presence at all. sarc/off
It is always bizarre to find these Mohammedans who claim that it was the United States and Israel who plotted 9/11 in order to ‘make Islam look bad’, while at the same time lauding Jihad against the ‘filthy Infidels’, as abbas regularly does.
Cognitive dissonance or just bald-faced Taqiyya? Does it even matter?

What claptrap. It is Islam that has declared war on America–and every other part of Dar-al-Harb, as it has from its founding by the savage warlord “Prophet” Muhammed.

It wasn’t anyone in the civilized West who started violent Jihad–that is, of course, abbas’ own bloody coreligionists.
As for Garland, it was pious Muslims who want to violently shut down any criticism of the foul “Prophet”–this is not an American goal. Does abbas think we have forgotten the attacks on Jyllands Posten, Lars Vilks, and Charlie Hebdo?
Lion of Judah's Cub says
Abbas,
you have failed to consider the role of the muslim brotherhood and saudi arabian infiltration in all levels of American governance and society since the 1930s. This infiltration includes the western media and academia as is evident today. Even fox news is majority owned by arab investors.
According to the al-quaeda master plan published in der speigel in 2005 (although devised earlier in the century), the brotherhood wanted to push the US and other western powers into warfare in the middle east so they could entice young muslims to join the fight for a new caliphate against the west. 911 was a convenient way to provoke such strife. The muslim brotherhood infilitrators and advisors in the American administrations helped push the US into various unhealthy alliances with various violent islamic organizations (consider Afghanistan, Benghazi, Syria rebel support etc).
Even earlier, muslim influence on the US via some ill advised treaties was evident when the US and Brits refused to aid the Christians in Smyrna and elsewhere during the Armenian and other Christian minority genocides in Turkey and region in the early 1900s. Photos allegedly exist of the thousands of women’s heads floating in the harbour of Smyrna after being decapitated by muslim majority citizens (aka jihadists). Ignored by the US and British war fleets, as they did not wish to interfere with diplomatic and treaty relations with turkey, these defenseless women, children and others were brutally slaughtered in the presence of the American and British navies. The American, British and Turkish leaders and individuals involved were vile cowards — just like jihadists and their enablers today.
RonaldB says
Actually, the question of notifications seems murky to me.
I saw the Garland police close up, and I would be much happier with a Garland police team, rather than FBI team, handling the actual matter of sending the jihadists to meet Allah. Is it possible the FBI actually gave a warning to the Garland police, who set up a containment operation to dispose of the Muslim terrorists once and for all? It seems to me a 3 hour warning, if sufficiently clear, is quite enough time to set up an ambush.
Alvin Woods says
What *if* those 2 jihadists had back up or a car bomb or had a actually gotten into the building?? Or waited for Robert or Geller to step outside??
Seems to be highly negligent to assume SWAT wouldve taken them out before they had gotten in.
Never underestimate your enemy, they may have seemed like 2 untrained punks but when adreneline kicks in they could’ve caused havoc.
*luckily they were blown away as they came guns blazing out of their car*
Either way a tragedy was averted thanks to the Garland cops and no thanks to the FBI
Alvin Woods says
Yeah thats also possible the fbi passed over security to swat. Seems more plausible than the fbi actually wanting a massacre.
RonaldB says
Thanks for your observations.
The Garland SWAT teams were magnificent and 100% supportive of the people there.
Yet, it was an off-duty traffic cop who actually took out the jihadis.
Dave Q says
Well the FBI didn’t go after Clinton, didn’t ask any questions that would result in her indictment, and what I heard on one interview was the director did not attend Clintons FBI interview. No direct record of the conversation nor of the questions ask exist. So the FBI played politics here with Clinton. From that its a safe bet they play politics with lesser beings.
Again in normal times with a normal press this would be a major story about an FBI cover up instead of a curiosity on the internet. I do my part send links add it to social media, write a comment, but my friends and family ignore them, “safe” in their group think socialist world.
Although I bought tickets to this event and contributed an amateur drawing I did not attend; Dallas from Boston is a long way to go for a little excitement.
R says
The FBI didn’t want you dead. They’re just incompetent.

I cannot believe that the FBI *wanted* a massacre. Maybe–as is so often the case–they *still* weren’t taking the possibility of Jihad violence seriously enough.
Deeply troubling, whatever the case.
R Cole says
It’s the unthinkable!
But then Pakistan’s jihadists have been used liberally – to fight against India, to wage war in Kashmir – they were used in Bangladesh – which used to be called East Pakistan – to stop that country from gaining its independence. In the Pakistani press some openly acknowledge that the Pakistani state was carved out in part on the reliance of the jihadists – the same ones who wage war there today.
Was the Garland attack a set up – from the beginning?
::
After the Benghazi attack – blaming a video critical of Muhammad – Obama knowingly made the false statement at the UN saying – the future doesn’t belong to those who criticize Muhammad. But I would put it to him that it does. Some of the first organised critics of Islam – which set out to deliberately cause offence to the Prophet – was a campaign organised by Christians in Moors Spain. If we look at Spain today – clearly the world doesn’t belong to a Prophet who would keep people enslaved under his everlasting tyranny.
Just like the Spanish – we the people will decide who the future belongs to – not a President with forked loyalties.
Cornelius says
There’s no doubt that the behavior of the FBI was inexplicable here. But we have to question the assumption here that Obama micro-manages the FBI and directed the details of this operation in the hopes of facilitating an atrocity.
mortimer says
I can’t imagine things would be better for free speech under Hillary. She is likely to crush freedom of speech in every possible devious way.
BlueRaven says
What a disgusting bunch – Obama and Co. He is a worst President in the history. Trump will trump.
Sam says
I pray that Hillary will not become president. I sais the same thing for Obama also. So I am not that confident.
tonynoboloney says
I believe the FBI was fully complicit in the Garland Texas Terrorist /murder attempt. If you look at the circumstances you will note the FBI had nothing to lose.
If the Garland Police had not stopped the perpetrators they may have successfully assassinated Pam Geller, Robert Spencer and Geert Wilder et al. OR in the case that happened the terrorists were killed. You see the Government would be successful either way it went as they would like to see our host Robert Spencer dead. (My deepest apologies Robert, I believe you are a brave patriot). It was win/win for the FBI to keep their mouths shut.
This is TREASON pure and simple. We are screwed.
Kay says
So what about all the checks and balances I learned about in school. Who can hold the FBI accountable?
Kay says
@ Robert Spencer
I’m adding your safety to my prayer list.
Sam says
Did FBI also cover Hillary on the email thing? Our administration is working for the Jihadis so blatantly, they have no fear for repercussion thanks to our enemedia and ignorant liberal population.
Sending money to Iran is no big deal either. Right?
Not surprised at all. I don’t trust FBI, CIA and even our military as we have all these liberal generals running the show under Obama.
Alec Rawls says
I agree that the failure to protect Draw Muhammad after being in on planning the attack, indicates murderous intent on the part of the FBI. Not necessarily the agent involved, but the intel he passed on could implicate him, and since that intel has no current value there is no reason not to release it except to cover up FBI culpability.
Felix Quigley says
I agree but that vital Intel can only be made public through a legal action against the FBI head. I cannot see any alternative. To advance beyond that afidavit means a legal case. Finance will be necessary and that needs to be brought into the centre of the Trump alternative-republican campaign and also the so-called left has to be challenged on their position on this. Are the latter socialist fighters for freedom and truth or are they agents of the repressive state apparatus.
Felix Quigley says
Pamela Geller has performed a most useful service tothe true socialist and libertarian movement by publishing the truth about the FBI and Garland
Every enemy of socialism and of the future struggle for socialism in the world will now be aiming to deflect from the true implications of what Geller has written. These deflections always have one thing that marks them out – thye all contain large doses of distortion especially of historical distortion which to answer fully is impossible in one comment or post. So I just register that large distortion of history takes place.
The fact is that in Garland the FBI set up many libertarians and fighters against Islam to be murdered but especially Wilders, Spencer and Geller herself. That is undeniable, absolutely undeniable, and only some kind of scoundrel would seek to deflect from that truth.
Who sttod to gain? Firstly supremacist Islam. Secondly those who are using Supremacist Islam to advance what are many agendas, but all leading to curtailment of basic democratic rights, and ultimately dictatorship of some as yet undetermined form.
It is clear that the Jihadist attackers were well prepared and totally fanatical but they lacked depth in attack – because America is not yet France. They also seemed to have underestimated the political savvy of Geller, Wilders and Spencer who had prepared an independent defence. But no matter how intelligently they had prepared there was some luck involved too because as has been pointed out what if they had come prepared with a car bomb to the front door, or waited until Geller exited.
Then a major force in the fight against Islam in America and Europe would have been gone in the flash of an eye. As a socialist and as a communist and Trotskyist I would have felt myself to be a big loser because I fight in solidarity with such libertarians for free speech.
This was and is not an isolated event because it has to be connected to many others, especially the isolation of the Serbs and leaders such as Milosevic and Mladic, and the more recent attempts to murder Tommy Robinson while in prison. The recent book by Robinson shows that the State, especially the British police and prison authorities, were working closely with the Islamic Supremacists backed by “Left wing” people to murder him.
As was shown in Yugoslavia these are murderous forces who are capable of bringing to its knees a whole country and nation. Thye are not to be underestimated.
I believe that a true Trotskyist Party and leadership will have to be built in every country including in America.
But nothing will be built anywhere if basic democratic rights are not protected. This is primarily the first two Amendments of the American Constitution. The right to free speech and the right to be armed for protection
There are many diversions being created to keep knowledge from advancing. For example Stalin was not trying to stir up socialist or communist revolution in the time of Roosevelt as has been advanced by Diana West and even by David Horowitz, even though Horowitz disagrees with the other lies of the horrific West. The role of Stalin was to put down socialist revolution and the Spanish Civil War proves that for all time. Any who advance this kind of distortion of history as does Diana West are scoundrels to truth. The CPUSA as mentioned in these typically false comments on Jihadwatch was a Stalinist party through and through. It engineered from America the murder of many socialists especially the murder of Leon Trotsky by a person recruited in the Spanish Civil War, from Catalonia in fact, a nonentity piece of filth called Ramon Mercader, a practised and dedicated murderer of socialist revolutionaries.
Now a change has take place. Geller, Spencer and Wilders must accept that although they are still a target and must try to defend themselves best they can, they are no longer the MAIN TARGET who is in fact Donald trump. Their ban into Britain must be brought to the front since this was an invitation by May to murder. I support especially taking legal action as suggested against the Governent on the Garland attack issue but also wish to see it acknowledged that Trump is NOW their number one target for elimination and that it is necessary to ensure Trump will win in November. Trump is in fact at the head of the fight today against Jihad. It is not enough to just acknowledge this formally but far more coverage of these similar to Garland attacks are happening to Trump almost every hour now must happen on Jihadwatch and on Pamela Geller’s blog. Trump has to be fought for and defended in a far more proactive way than has been happening.
Felix Quigley says
There is no, absolutely no, guarantee of winning this war. There are very many Serb fighters for their country and simply like Jews in the nazi Holocaust people against Islam Supremacy backed by the US and EU state governments and media that today are rotting away in European prisons. The good and truthful do not alwasy win. To win you need to have personal initiative which is based on correct strategy and sometimes some luck as well. The luck has happened once but do not bet on luck always happening.
Debi Brand says
“The FBI knew jihadis were targeting Garland free speech event. So why did they have only one agent there?”
Clearly, hoping for the “best.”
Edward Cline says
The FBI was “nice enough” to visit me at home and inform me that I was the ISIS “hit list” because of my Rule of Reason columns about Islam, but did nothing in the way of protection, except to advise me to move.He claimed he wasn’t allowed to offer any other kind of advice or help. He offered no other advice. I showed the agent (based in Norfolk, VA with NCIS) my two nonfiction books on Islam on Amazon, and he recognized the covers and also my novel about Muslim Brotherhood operatives in “The Black Stone” set in the early 1930s. Not only that, but my landlady, informed of the FBI visit, evicted me claiming that my presence in the apartment complex comprised a threat to the safety of her other tenants! So, at great expense and stress, I had to uproot my whole life thanks to the FBI and my landlady whose sympathies were markedly not with me. The FBI is turning out to be as fickle and submissive and protective of Muslims as Obama wishes it to be. It is no longer a federal agency entrusted with the security of American lives. It is now the emasculated poodle of those who hate this country and want it and Americans to submit. It is now as bad as the German and Swedish police who on orders refuse to report to the public how rampant Muslim crime is in those countries. The FBI is as traitorous as are Obama, Hillary, John Kerry, and others who “carry water” for and collaborate with Islam.
Debi Brand says
“It is now the emasculated poodle of those who hate this country and want it and Americans to submit
…. The FBI is as traitorous as are Obama, Hillary, John Kerry, and others who “carry water” for and collaborate with Islam.”
Yup. Well stated.
And the pro-Islam, thus defenders of Islam crowd, from the Right, from the Left, grows larger steadily, thus, our “best” and “brightest” teach us how to bow and prostrate with those who bow and prostrate.
Lonny Watson says
Not surprising. From the outcome, the Garland, TX Police Department did not need the FBI. They took care of business.
