Within the last couple of days, we have learned that the presidential
detail of the US Secret Service has been infiltrated by two men with
connections to foreign governments and that they have compromised Secret
Service agents with bribes. Initial reports reveal their penetration of the
first lady’s protection detail, with the scandal growing as new failures are
discovered.
Couple this with the complete breakdown of the Secret Service detail
the night before JFK’s assassination in Dallas, their much-publicized drunken
womanizing several decades ago in Latin America, their willingness to suspend
the protection of President Clinton during his sexual escapades, and now this,
and one has to wonder how deep is the Secret Service corruption?
Hearkening back to the Waco catastrophe involving the newly armed
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, that sad chapter can only be
described as a display of astonishing incompetence. The local County Sheriff
testified that after receiving complaints about David Koresh, he called him and
asked him to stop by the sheriff’s office to discuss his concerns. Koresh
complied every time.
Some months after the Waco tragedy a member of my Church provided me
with a printed copy of the BATF search warrant, authorized based on a concern
about the reported number of firearms at the compound. It turned out that the
Branch Davidian compound had fewer firearms per adult than the average Texas
household. Children died needlessly. Had BATF only spoken to the sheriff before
implementing the cowboy tactics, they could’ve saved many lives.
What can be said about the FBI? That organization has been deeply
compromised since the days of J. Edgar Hoover, who used agents to gather
information used to influence presidents and legislators improperly.
Remember Ruby Ridge and the sniper killing of Randy Weaver’s
14-year-old son and pregnant wife? You may also remember those FBI agents on
the scene who were reported to have laughed at the sniper’s success at picking
off an enemy of the state. Everything at Ruby Ridge resulted from a trumped-up
charge of possessing a sawed-off shotgun.
How about the recent not guilty verdict by one man accused of being
part of a conspiracy to assassinate Michigan’s governor Witmer? It turns out
that possibly half of those involved in the plot, a number of them occupying
leadership positions n the conspiracy, were paid FBI informants or operatives.
Then there is the supposed January 6, 2021, attempted coup in
Washington, DC. Never mind that there is camera footage showing DC police
moving barriers, opening doors, and waving people into the buildings. There is
also evidence of a man whose name slips my mind at present, who was recorded
the day before attempting to incite a crowd to violence. That man is likely an
FBI-paid informant.
What about former FBI Dir. Mueller? Does it bother anyone that he used
notorious Boston area crime lord Whitey Bulger as an informant for many years
while overlooking and covering up several of Bulger’s murders and sending
several men to prison for crimes he knew Whitey Bulger had engineered?
Most distressing to me is the conspiracy by high-ranking FBI supervisors
to bring down President Trump with false allegations, lies on forms presented
to judges for FISA warrants, and a decided slant in favor of the profoundly
corrupt Hillary Clinton campaign. Do you expect me to believe that FBI
underlings did not know what was occurring at the time?
Understand, I am addressing concerns with only federal-level law
enforcement officials and issues. I am not addressing my concerns about state,
county, or city law enforcement agencies presently. With regard to the FBI, the
Secret Service, and the BATF, is there a levelheaded American who does not have
serious reservations about the integrity of these federal agencies?
I do not dispute that good men and women are employed in these
agencies. I am dismayed by their cowardice and unwillingness to speak out about
what they have observed and know to be true about the agencies and the crooked
officers they work with. I only question their silence.
Christians must re-examine our mindless blanket endorsement of all law
enforcement agencies and personnel at all times. We cannot afford to continue
assuming these agencies are always upright and
law-abiding, or even usually respectable and
law-abiding. If we believe the Bible, we must believe that since the whole
world lies in wickedness, even federal law enforcement agencies lie in
wickedness, First John 5.19.
Of course, we should be law-abiding. That goes without saying. But we
should also be very, very cautious.
