An FBI So Corrupt It Lets Mass Shooters Rampage Needs To Go
[THEFEDERALIST] The New York Times

...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...

reported on March 27 that Syrian-born Colorado mass shooter Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa had been on the FBI’s radar before he murdered 10 people in a grocery store.

"The suspect’s identity was previously known to the F.B.I. because he was linked to another individual under investigation by the bureau, according to law enforcement officials," the Times says.

According to a police affidavit, six days before Alissa shot 10 people to death, he purchased a pistol. That would have required him to pass a federal background check also run by the FBI. It seems the FBI is not very good at this "stopping mass shooters" thing.

This is not an anomaly in the FBI’s history. It in fact appears to be a pattern of negligence. During the Barack Obama

about the "known wolf" problem — of 14 Islamist attacks in the U.S. during Obama’s tenure, the FBI had been aware of at least 12 before the violence erupted like lava from a volcano, and did nothing.

For example, the 2009 Fort Hood shooter, who killed 13; the Boston Marathon bombers of 2013 who killed three and injured 264; and the Pulse nightclub shooter who killed 49 people and maimed 53 more. All were known to the FBI and several had been interviewed by the FBI before they went on killing sprees.

The FBI had also been warned numerous times about the Parkland, Florida school shooter, before he killed 17 and injured 17 more in 2018. It also knew beforehand about the 2018 Nashville, Tennessee Waffle House shooter, who killed four and injured two more, and the 2020 Nashville RV bomber.

While the FBI has been failing to stop terrorist attacks by known threats like these, it has conducted numerous political operations on behalf of Democrats. The ones we know about include Crossfire Hurricane’s use of federal spy power to affect election outcomes and prevent effective governance by elected Republicans. That operation included spying on Fox News.

In 2020, the FBI sent 15 agents to investigate a rope tied in a loop that hysterical people alleged was a "noose" after a black NASCAR driver was assigned a garage with the rope as its door pull. The FBI investigation determined the rope had been in the same shape and spot since at least 2019.

#3 Well, the article points out the problem. Not seeing a lot of solutions in it, though.
Issues:
1) what legal protections does the organization have that prevent it from being disbanded?
2) How can it's political support from CongressCritters, et al, be dealt with?
3) how can it's legitimate functions be continued without interruption?
4) How can a successor organization or organizations be insulated from political pressure and favoritism so we don't end up in the same place?.

#5 A New Zealander, Trevor Loudon, has an article that appeared in The Epoch Times as well as at a website entitled "We the People Convention" and NTD. He outlines 9 steps to save America from Socialism. Here.

Other ideas that might help.

(1) Constitutional Convention to limit the Supremacy Clause and to establish term limits for Congress Members and the Supreme Court.
(2) More use of the 10th Amendment to strengthen State's Rights,
(3) Follow the rule of law. Eliminate the two-tier system of justice that has emerged over time.
