No Big Deal, Just the FBI Interrogating Citizens About Their Social Media Posts

Just your government checking up on you, nothing to worry about.

Just think of the FBI as a big, friendly "big brother" looking out for you, making sure you don't get into trouble.

FBI Agent Says He Hassles People 'Every Day, All Day Long' Over Facebook Posts

"It's just an effort to keep everybody safe and make sure nobody has any ill will," he claimed.
Matthew Petti
The FBI spends "every day, all day long" interrogating people over their Facebook posts. At least, that's what agents told Stillwater, Oklahoma, resident Rolla Abdeljawad when they showed up at her house to ask her about her social media activity.
Three FBI agents came to Abdeljawad's house and said that they had been given "screenshots" of her posts by Facebook. Her lawyer Hassan Shibly posted a video of the incident online on Wednesday.
Abdeljawad told agents that she didn't want to talk and asked them to show their badges on camera, which the agents refused to do. She wrote on Facebook that she later confirmed with local police that the FBI agents really were FBI agents.
"Facebook gave us a couple of screenshots of your account," one agent in a gray shirt said in the video.
"So we no longer live in a free country and we can't say what we want?" replied Abdeljawad.
"No, we totally do. That's why we're not here to arrest you or anything," a second agent in a red shirt added. "We do this every day, all day long. It's just an effort to keep everybody safe and make sure nobody has any ill will."

The report says it's unclear whether Meta, FaceBook's parent company, reported the posts to the FBI or if the FBI's teams of surveillance operatives found them themselves.

For the past week, she has made multiple angry posts per day about the war in Gaza, referring to Israel as "Israhell." But none of the posts on her feed call for violence.

I know this person is on the other side of the aisle but the left often stages "test cases" where, for example, they'll prosecute a black killer for a hate crime, just to prove that the right is lying when they say hate crime laws will be used to target white people. Then, after the case survives judicial review, they use the law for what it was always intended for, to increase jail sentences for white people exclusively.

FBI agents hassled an Oklahoma woman over her Facebook posts.

"We do this every day, all day long," one of the agents said.https://t.co/AQSrgw3nlt

----

And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?

Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?

The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If... if... We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.

26 Somewhat adjacent. About that 75 year old guy who is on trial for shooting at illegal immigrants on his property: A few details were left out.
Man responds when he hears a gun shot on his property.
Finds illegals brandishing a gun at him so he fires in the air.
Illegals scatter.
Later he finds a dead guy on the property and reports it.
He is arrested and charged with first murder, then mansalughter.
They never find the bullet that Killed the illegal. They have no idea what caliber the bullet was. What kind of gun it came from.
Yet they charged this guy for killing someone based on the testimoney of another illegal who has been convicted of running drugs.
Even if found innocent, the process is the punishment.

Great tactic, and the Right plays into it like Wile E. Coyote. Not the politicians - they're in on it with the Left - but the normies.

I tried to warn the people here that were cheering Milo Yiannapoulis' cancellation that SV was running up a flag that our side would be willing to salute, so they could then turn around and cancel *everyone* they hated.

It only took them like six months. Him, then McInnes. Then it was everywhere, and striking everyone until Brandon was safely ensconced.

It was always about regaining the digital battle space they lost in '16.

Stuff like this is the next step.

69 insurgens ad opus RE: Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

It will always repeat. Government is organized; citizens are not. It's almost impossible to get enough disparate individuals to reach the critical mass to do, collectively, what Solzhenitsyn suggests. And by the time the individuals coalesce, the aggregate numbers are too small to fight the State.

It's a societal failing. I don't even think there's a human response to such evolutions. It's only when things are intolerably bad with no one having anything to lose that you get a corrective Revolutionary action.

America is in a bad place.

Easy enough for the FBI to refute.

Tonight's show plots:

Special Agents Maggie Bell and OA Zidan investigate the death of a safety inspector and its possible connection to a leak at a nuclear power plant.

After a senator's daughter is kidnapped and held for ransom, the FBI is called in to assist with finding the child before their time limit expires. However, in order to do so, they must dig into the senator's past for clues to who did this to his family.

Maggie and OA hunt down a ruthless group of robbers who are posing as NYPD officers to target armored trucks.

One thing to contemplate (and not in defense of the FiBIs here, but something with which to evaluate any encounters you might have) is that all federal folks - contractors, military, cops, etc. - are told that you cannot have anyone photocopy your fed ID. Because of how good scanners are nowadays, they don't want anyone to be able to churn out even a visually pleasing facsimile of a valid ID. And, it is entirely possible to do that with a high-resolution camera now.

So, be prepared to ask to see the ID, write down badge number and name, then read them off to the supposed fed while they are on camera, "Is this your badge number and name?" If they won't do that, then call the locals on them as fake feds and that they're trespassing. And, if any of them are carrying openly, add in that you fear for your life because these fake cops are carrying guns.

162 So, be prepared to ask to see the ID, write down badge number and name, then read them off to the supposed fed while they are on camera, "Is this your badge number and name?" If they won't do that, then call the locals on them as fake feds and that they're trespassing. And, if any of them are carrying openly, add in that you fear for your life because these fake cops are carrying guns.

166 > If you desire to deport millions of illegals from the USA eventually, there's going to have to be a lot of govt agents knocking on a lot of doors. How to square that circle?

Make eVerify mandatory for every employee. Make employing them a massive fine. Get IRS info on people using fake SSNs. Make eVerify mandatory for government assistance. Revoke the tax exempt status of any NGO, Church, etc that helps illegals enter the US and settle here. Assign ICE agents to every medium to large courthouse and give them authority to detain any illegals. Revoke the bar membership of any Judge who helps illegals evade ICE detentions. Withhold Federal funds from any municipality that declares themselves sanctuaries.

170 This isn't a "test case" scenario. It's an ass covering situation. The FBI knows that Biden's asinine immigration hijinks let a large number of potential terrorists into the country. If they pop off with some event, then Biden looks even worse than he does now.

I guarantee that the FBI did a back channel to social media asking for pro-Hamas comments so they could physically go to that individual's residence. They could care less about the commenter. They want to see if there is evidence of new residents (groups) living at those locations. They're closing the door after then cows got out, and now are trying to find these newly arrived terrorists....and they wouldn't be doing it unless they thought something was concretely scheduled.

This should scare the crap out of all of us, and not just because of the Free Speech issues associated with it.

A couple of years later when I left the service, I met a bunch of folks at home who asked me if I'd robbed a bank or something, because the Feebs didn't tell them why they were asking about me.

202 Do y'all know what a "First Amendment Auditor" is? They're these guys who go into government offices and make themselves nuisances while filming everything. They also like to insert themselves into police interactions with the public and try to force the police to overreact so they can film the police overreaction and sue and promote their YouTube channels.

One of the more irritating examples is a guy named Jose "Chille" DeCastro. Jose just got 180 days in jail for interfering in a police traffic stop. The prosecutor asked for 90 days deferred, but Jose pissed off the Judge so much, she gave him 180 days. The Judge says his behavior didn't influence her decision, but I don't really believe her.

Here is a hearing after that where he's begging to be let back out.

We dredge every damned thing. We also build what various municipalities ask us to do, but rarely design those projects. Most places want everything to stay just as they remembered it, so we end up fighting mother nature and usually lose that battle. Read up on the Achafalaya River and what it did to the dams.
