    I mean, how did he get caught? The FBI likes to target and prey upon low-income/autistic people for these "terrorist" acts. Who knows how much coaxing they could have done to make him "come up with this plan." Gimme a sec and I'll find a good article on it

        This just came up again in the Chicago 7 episode. In the movie, Sorkin has the FBI plant trying to prevent violence, instead of inciting like they normally do.

        Felix joked that she'd be the worst spook, doing Operation Gladio and writing Italian newspaper articles about how everyone needed to come together.

      I'm guessing he wanted to do it all along, but didn't think he could manage or get away with it. Some spook probably convinced him otherwise.

        Haha haha.

        Unironically doing the "defending the FBI by deflecting the main point" shit.

              The domestic intelligence and counter-intelligence branch of that white supremacist settler colony, whose job is, among other things, manufacturing consent for the police state by finding or making high profile terrorists.

            It's an establishment garden plot. Social problems seed the garden - angry seedlings sprout. Corporate media control weeds the garden - hate against the system is mocked by mainstream media, hate against scapegoats is amplified by right-wing media. The FBI then picks the ripened fruit in defense of the system - let some go to spread fear and uncertainty, catch others to send the message that the people are all weird bigoted terrorists, and the system is the only thing keeping them in check.
