Another disturbing story is circulating about how the FBI entrapped an 18-year-old young man in a scheme involving ISIS that has left the individual in the Department of Justice's (DOJ) crosshairs.
Alexander Mercurio of Coeur d'Alene, Id., is said to have found himself in trouble with the law after the Federal Bureau of Investigation secretly helped him plan attacks on several churches.
At least three FBI confidential human source informants and one undercover agent roped Mercurio into the scheme, according to News2Share's Ford Fischer. Mercurio was then accused of providing material support to ISIS as part of a wider effort by the deep state to drum up more support from Americans for dragging the United States into Israel's war on Gaza in the Middle East.
The DOJ has charged 18-year-old Alexander Mercurio with providing material support to ISIS after at least three CHS's and an undercover helped him plan attacks on churches before the FBI arrested him.

FBI entrapment is out of control
Fischer further tweeted that the FBI took over the online account of an alleged ISIS supporter who is now believed to be dead, and used it to play the role of the allegedly dead individual in enticing Mercurio to take the bait.
Mercurio then allegedly proceeded to speak to one of the Confidential Human Sources (CHS), whom he confided with about how he had previously "drank the Kool-Aid of White Supremacy" before allegedly trying to seek out alignment with Islamic terrorism.
Back in March, Mercurio told an "FBI Online Covert Employee" that he was "going to perform a martyrdom operation" in the coming days. To do this, Mercurio told CHS-1, one of the FBI agents, that he intended to use a "flame sword" to accomplish his mission.
Since Mercurio only had his learner's permit at the time and had no way to legally drive, he told one of the FBI's CHS that he would have to walk to his terror attack, also revealing that he had told someone else about the plot. That other person is believed to be CHS-2.
Undercover 1 (UC1), meanwhile, had messaged Mercurio in what was supposed to have been a "safe and secure" chat program. In that chat, Mercurio told CHS-3 that he wanted to conduct a "martyrdom operation."
The day before Mercurio was set to launch his attack, he reached out to FBI CHS-2 and allegedly expressed concerns about following through with it due to fears about him being investigated. CHS-2 responded and told Mercurio, "don't worry about me" and that Allah would guide him.
Then, on April 6, Mercurio's house was raided by the FBI, the details of which are available at Justice.gov.
"This case should be an eye-opener to the dangers of self-radicalization, which is a real threat to our communities," commented Special Agent in Charge Shohini Sinha from the FBI's Salt Lake City division.
Attorney General Merrick Garland also issued a statement about the matter, explaining that Mercurio "swore an oath of loyalty to ISIS and planned to wage an attack in its name on churches in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho."
In the comments on a story about all this, someone suggested that this is "just another government-media BS story" in which the boogeyman of ISIS, which some believe stands for Israeli Secret Intelligence Service , was rolled out "to justify killing innocent people.
