I'm becoming more and more unsure about the Intercept. This reads a bit too passionate and conspiracy theory-esque for me. I don't know. My first thought after reading the headline was "is this a reddit editorialized headline?" My first thought after reading the article was "This is crazy if it's true. What blog is this anyways?" I was reading on feedly and failed to note it was on the Intercept until after I had completed reading it.
I don't know quite what to make of it. Thoughts?
this is pretty common if you look at all the FBI terrorism busts in recent history. look up Brandon Darby and the 2008 RNC arrests, the NATO 5, and the kids from Occupy Cleveland. and that's just in the anarchist community, there are several more incidents in the Muslim community that I just don't know off the top of my head.
there's a common joke in activist circles that whoever offers to bring the explosives is the pig. and it's hilariously/unconformably true.
