Joran van der Sloot Suggests FBI Lured Him to Peru

Joran Van Der Sloot Says He Would Not Have Been in Peru if it Wasn't For the FBI

In another quote from Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, Joran Van Der Sloot has says that the FBI is the reason he was in Peru when Stephany Flores was killed.

He told the paper that a man who called himself 'Garcia' invited him to come to Lima to play poker, and as Van Der Sloot really enjoys that game he took up the offer. He also said that this man suggested he worked for the FBI.

"Garcia arranged and paid for everything for me," he is quoted as saying to the newspaper. "Looking back, I can't believe I let myself be lured. I hardly knew that guy. It was just a setup."

The newspaper goes on to imply in their report that the video cameras that captured the images of Van Der Sloot outside his hotel room were planted by the FBI as part of a sting operation.

The FBI did reveal earlier that they had paid Van Der Sloot $25,000 as part of an undercover investigation after he tried to extort money from Natalee Holloway's mother.

However, according to ABC News who spoke to former FBI investigator and ABC consultant Brad Garrett it is unlikely that the FBI would go to such lengths in this case:

"I think the question is, could they have done it? Of course they could have done it," he said. "The real question is would they have done it, and the logical answer is probably, no."

Federal agents would need the approval of the Justice Department as well as Peru to operate in Lima, and have the cooperation of local police, he said.

"I'm not convinced it is even the type of case the FBI would put the energy into," Garrett said.

Joran Van Der Sloot has said he is surviving in prison, but he admits that it is his own fault he is in jail charged with the murder of 21-year-old Stephany Flores.

As an American citizen, I am sick and tired of the FBI's intrusion into the private lives of innocent travelers. In this case, framing Van der Sloot for the brutal murder of Stephany Flores is simply going too far.Obviously, the video cameras in the Hotel Tac were under the control of the FBI. It's easy enough for them to place those cameras and edit, alter, or even add incriminating footage. It's clear that then, almost immediately after Van der Sloot left the hotel, the FBI sent an agent into the room to murder Stephany. This means that, undoubtedly, one of the Hotel employees is an FBI agent who has probably been working undercover as an underpaid porter for several years. Finally, there's the question of why Van der Sloot would have stolen Stephany's car? Well, it's obvious to anyone with any objectivity whatsoever that the FBI hypnotized Van der Sloot using drugged coffee and subliminal images on his computer suggesting that he take her car, then a cab, then a bus and travel to Santiago Chile.It's time that the FBI cease these kinds of activities. Framing innocent young men in foreign countries just isn't right.FAX

Um obviously this guy "fax" doesn't know what he is talking about this is not an innocent man. Who ever fax is he should do his research before commenting on the matter. Joran Van der Sloot is a serial killer guilty of murdering this woman and also Natalee Holloway. No one was framed!!!!! He is a psychopath.

I am pretty sure that "FAX" was taking the piss. He surely cannot be serious.

People, please, get a clue.
FAX was merely trying to show in a satirical way how ludicrous it is that the FBI would be involved in a setup.

satire (n.): Irony, sarcasm, or caustic wit used to attack or expose folly, vice, or stupidity.I guess I made my point (although, perhaps, not in the way I intended). Thanks, Mr. MAX Amilion, for sticking up for me, by the way.I'm sure that many (if not all) of you have taken note of Van der Sloot's latest claims that he traveled to Peru by invitation of the FBI though the alleged "agent" Garcia. By extension, I assumed that his next averment would include an attempt to divert suspicion for Stephany's murder to the FBI, as well. In order to sell that story, it would be necessary to suggest a conspiracy not dissimilar to the one I posted which (or so I thought) was laughably absurd on its face. My apologies to any and all whom I may have inadvertently offended. Such an effect was unintentional, I assure you.And just so you guys know, it's virtually impossible to hypnotize someone using computer graphics and drugged coffee. Not only will your subject become suspicious should they taste the drugs in the coffee, there's really no dependable way to ensure that the computer graphics will be viewed in their entirety or in the correct order so as to induce a mesmeric state sufficient to allow for post-hypnotic suggestion.FAX
