- **Published:** 2010-12-26

The effectiveness of FBI sting operations is questioned, with the hosts noting that informants often encourage suspects who might otherwise back out. They revisit the "Jihad Jane" case and the Fort Hood shooting, arguing that the media selectively highlights or ignores details to fit a specific terror narrative. The segment concludes by mocking the idea that becoming a jihadist is a "fun" trend for American youth.

Reports indicate that a bomb squad training session was occurring in New York at the same time as the Times Square incident, raising suspicions of a staged event. Anomalies in Faisal Shahzad's background, including his father's high-ranking status in the Pakistani Air Force and his own quiet life as a systems analyst, are explored.

The media has intensified coverage of "Jihad Jane" and a second suspected female jihadist in Ireland. The targets allegedly plotted to kill Swedish artist Lars Vilks, known for his controversial depictions of the Prophet Mohammed. Vilks stated in an interview with the Irish Times that he feels safe and continues to walk freely in Sweden despite the reported threats.

### Jihad Jane, Media Meme Orchestration

- **Episode:** [181: Jihad Jane Rides Again](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/181-jihad-jane-rides-again.md)
- **Published:** 2010-03-11
- **Time:** 49:57–59:13
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/181-jihad-jane-rides-again/chapter/jihad-jane-media-meme-orchestration.md

The arrest of Colleen LaRose, known as "Jihad Jane," is identified as a highly orchestrated media event designed to push a specific narrative. A recurring phrase—"shatters any lingering thought that we can spot a terrorist based on appearance"—appeared in over 32,000 news instances, suggesting a coordinated "meme injection." The story's rollout appears designed to justify broader surveillance and the removal of ethnic profiling.

### AP vs Reuters, Jihad Jane Boyfriend Contradictions

- **Episode:** [181: Jihad Jane Rides Again](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/181-jihad-jane-rides-again.md)
- **Published:** 2010-03-11
- **Time:** 59:13–1:05:02
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/181-jihad-jane-rides-again/chapter/ap-vs-reuters-jihad-jane-boyfriend-contradictions.md

A conflict between the Associated Press and Reuters emerged regarding the "Jihad Jane" story when AP reporters interviewed the suspect's boyfriend. The boyfriend's testimony contradicted the official narrative, stating she never practiced religion or visited a mosque during their five-year relationship. This reporting suggests the suspect may have been a "honeypot" or a minor operative rather than a high-level terrorist.

### Eric Massa Resignation, Jihad Jane Story Timing

- **Episode:** [181: Jihad Jane Rides Again](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/181-jihad-jane-rides-again.md)
- **Published:** 2010-03-11
- **Time:** 1:05:04–1:11:46
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/181-jihad-jane-rides-again/chapter/eric-massa-resignation-jihad-jane-story-timing.md

Evidence suggests the "Jihad Jane" indictment was dated March 4th but withheld from the public for a week to avoid being overshadowed by the resignation of Congressman Eric Massa. The delay in reporting indicates that major news stories are strategically timed for maximum psychological impact. The Massa scandal, involving allegations against Rahm Emanuel, created a "news hole" that the terrorism story eventually filled.
