Trump shooter Matthew Crooks reportedly had an account on the popular gamer chat app, Discord.

HERE'S WHY THAT MATTERS!

🧵 Image
As referenced in the above image, the FBI has been ramping up its efforts to infiltrate gamer chatrooms.
According to a GAO report from February, last year "the FBI worked to increase engagement with gaming and gaming-adjacent companies"

And it's not just the FBI! Private intelligence contractors are also ramping up their efforts to target gamers.
This is from last year, shortly after the Discord Leaks were made public:

Remember this bombshell? You should! If not, watch it again! If so, watch it again anyways!

The Biden administration will tell you they need to infiltrate gamer chatrooms for public safety reason. But sometimes it's their own agents who are the bad actors.
Last August, for instance, an FBI contractor was arrested for grooming gamers on Discord

Even more sinister, feds have had contact with mass shooters
The most notorious example of this was Buffalo shooter Peyton Gendron, who had been in touch with a "retired federal agent" ahead of his killing spree
The coverup w/ this appears ongoing

More recently, the Iowa school shooter from January was also revealed to have a Discord account
“The Discord user said they had flagged the chatroom to the FBI in November ... The user emailed the FBI agent screenshots of the server but did not hear back."

Here's my story on this issue, published minutes ago. It's not comprehensive, but I tried scraping together all the coverage I've done on the war against gamers. Please read and share!!

🚨NEW: The House released former AG Bill Barr's deposition on Epstein today. I read through it as quickly as I could. Here are the highlights, in order of significance imo -- starting with Barr admitting that Epstein's 2008 plea deal was unlike anything he's ever seen before!

🧵 Image
When asked whether he discussed the Epstein/Maxwell case, Barr said it was largely handled by the SDNY. However, one time he discussed it was when she disappeared! I remember public reports about her disappearing, but this is the 1st time I've seen that gov't couldn't find her. Image
Barr explains why he didn't think Epstein killed himself -- totally ignoring the question about private examiner Dr. Baden's findings that the broken neck bones indicated foul play Image

While I'm less sympathetic to entrapment claims when the target is enlisted in the military, this case is pretty egregious.
On Dec. 13, the 2 undercover agents convinced Said to record an ISIS propaganda video. Said actually suspected them of being feds, so he put AirTags in their car. The undercover agents then confronted him about it and asked if he was getting "cold feet."
They then bought Said a ticket to Turkey, but he never showed up!
Two months later, they finally convinced him to attack the military base. It looks like one of the undercover FBI agents was a female who seduced this guy. He told "him/her" that he loved "him/her" right before he went to carry out the plan.
🧵Image
Image
Look at how Said and UCE-2 talk to each other. UCE-2 surely was a female, right? Image

Palm Beach County Sheriffs arrested someone who was in touch with Rupnow for years. Seems likely that this was the "boyfriend" who provided a journalist with Rupnow's manifesto.
The two were so close that police think they had a "conspiracy" to commit mass shootings.

This is a wild one

🧵Image
Image
Allen purportedly came onto the FBI's radar after Rupnow's shooting, when agents found her phone. Agents found videos of Allen posing as a police officer. Allen was apparently so convincing that the FBI thought he really WAS a cop!
Allen had all the authentic gear, including an apparent police laptop. Law enforcement still doesn't know how he got their authentic uniform.

According to local reports, Allen also had "an FBI uniform, an Army Ranger outfit, Marine Corps dress blues, a ballistic vest, helmets, and fake federal and military ID badges."Image
Image
Image
Police found a veritable arsenal at Allen's home.

"Inside Allen’s home, deputies say they found 18 firearms, including what appeared to be automatic weapons, more than 300 pounds of ammunition, and full PBSO deputy uniforms. Also recovered: a taser, a two-way radio, and a fake body camera made with a 3D printer."

I nearly forgot! It's time for my Top 10 stories of the year --- and what a year!
I've been working almost solely on the Trump shooting in the second half of 2024, but nothing tops my interview with former FBI informant David Gletty, who talked about infiltrating right-wing groups for the FBI

🧵
1. (see what I described above)

headlineusa.com/exclusive-ex-f…
2. Gletty was also part of a larger FBI op in the mid-2000s, which I've dubbed Robert Mueller's right-wing terror factory.

BREAKING: The DOJ-IG has found that the FBI systematically mishandled TROVES of classified information.
Pictured below is an FBI storage facility. The camera above the door doesn't work, and the doors were kept open at all hours -- allowing non-authorized personnel access to potentially Secret info.

🚨BREAKING🚨 The FBI's controversial memo targeting Catholics was inspired by an investigation into a schizophrenic man

I've got the records to prove it

🧵

headlineusa.com/scoop-schizoph…
1. A DOJ-IG report revealed last week that the FBI's memo was inspired by an investigation into a 'fascist' Catholic that the feds had been monitoring since 2019.

The FBI infiltrated a church w/ at least one informant as part of that investigation, according to the IG
Image

2. Now look at the FBI's controversial Catholic memo.
The churches listed include Our Lady of Fatima Chapel in Richmond.

3. And look here: The FBI was monitoring a defendant named Xavier Lopez, who attended Fatima
