TENNESSEE STATE INMATE HAD CONTENDED COVER-UP OF TERRORIST PLOT
by Sharon Rondeau
(May 2, 2012) — In a previous mailing, Todd Sweet, an inmate at the CCA facility in Clifton, TN, reported that he had learned of a plot to detonate explosives in Monroe County, TN several years ago, had notified law enforcement while an inmate at the Monroe County jail, and that many of his letters to the authorities and his attorney were blocked by jailhouse staff.
Enclosed with a letter published on April 29, 2012 by The Post & Email, Sweet had included a list as well as copies of envelopes addressed to various law enforcement entities, including the Washington, DC bureau of the FBI, which never reached their intended recipients.
Also while in the Monroe County jail, Sweet had been utilized by Monroe County Sheriff’s Department Detective Pat Henry, who is no longer in that position, to convince another inmate that two federal attorneys had displaced his public defender and elicited a confession which was deemed by an appeals court to have no merit.
Prior to publishing the contents of Sweet’s letter, The Post & Email contacted the Knoxville FBI to ask whether or not an ongoing investigation would preclude doing so. Initially there was no response, but by the end of the second day after sending the inquiry, Knoxville did respond via email as follows:
Dear Ms. Rondeau,
FBI Knoxville would like to thank you for writing regarding the letter from Mr. Todd Sweet. It is assumed that you received the letter in directly from Mr. Sweet and, therefore, appropriately in your possession. You are free to do whatever you wish with the letter to include, if you so choose, publishing it on your web site.
That being said, you are requested to conduct some minor investigative reporting on your own before you take Mr. Sweet at his word. Below is a hyperlink to an article to start you on your journey to the discovery of a real story that is beyond the fiction which you may have been provided. There several very interesting stories from across the country that may interest you about your source of information. Please begin with the first article below and take it from there:

After you have taken the time to review this public source information, it is up to you to determine the veracity of the information you have received. Although some of the items which have been related to you “appear” to be accurate, closer examination may determine otherwise. That determination is left to you, your reputation, and your professionalism.
Thank you,
FBI Knoxville
The Post & Email had “conducted some minor investigating” before publishing any of Sweet’s letters, many of which proclaim his conversion to Christianity, Bible study, prison conditions and his admission of having committed crimes in three states: Michigan, Arizona, and Tennessee.
Following receipt of Knoxville’s response to our query, we wrote to Sweet, including Knoxville’s email to us, and asked if he wished to provide a response.
In a letter received on May 1, 2012, Sweet stated, “I got alot [sic] to say…Here is Part A of my response! This is Great! Praise be to God! Lots to come!”
The capital “A” was circled in red pen, although the letter was written in black ink. Sweet also stated at the bottom of the letter, “Im [sic] sendin [sic] tons! Gotta build up funds for copies + postage – God’ll provide” followed by a smiley face. On the lower right is the complimentary close, “In His Love and Service, Todd.”
Sweet’s response follows:

Rejoice! Praise God! Hallelujah!
Readers, fellow Christians, I have exciting news!
Satan has taken the challenge by utilizing the Knoxville FBI office!
The debate is on. I get to show the globe how real and how powerful Christ abiding in a person can change them.
I get to show all of you exactly how corrupt the corrupt have become.
I have battled law enforcement many times but this one excites me! Because God is now my Commander-in-Chief.
The source of my excitement you ask? [sic]
Get a load of this….
On Tuesday April 17, 2012 @ 8:03 pm Sharon Rondeau posted an article in regards to my allegation of a Terrorist plot and law enforcements [sic] cover up of it.
Mrs. Rondeau contacted the Knoxville FBI prior to placing the article and had received no response.
Until 2 days later.
Hallelujah!
Let me quote directly some of their letter to her:
“…You are requested to conduct some minor investigative reporting on your own before you take Mr. Sweet at his word. Below is a hyperlink to an article to start you on your journey to the discovery of a real story that is beyond the fiction which you may have been provided. There [sic] several interesting stories from across the country that may interest you about your source of information..”
“…After you have taken time to review this public source information, it is up to you to determine the veracity of the information you have received. Although some of the (my favorite part) items which have been related to you “appear” to be accurate, closer examination may determine otherwise. That determination is left to you, your reputation, and your professionalism.”
“..Thank you,
FBI Knoxville”
Let the fun begin.
First and foremost “FBI Knoxville”….
You are a joke. An absolute unprofessional joke.
And me and God [sic] are about to prove it. Starting her and going on a “journey” of reality.
Me and God [sic] are about to kick you and your satanic agency square in the mouth.
I sit here, though saddened by your total lack of care of the United States citizens when it comes to this potential terrorist act, I must say that a smile is upon my lips because I get to start a debate, show proof after proof of my statements that have been meticulously compiled and then when the American citizens see your true colors I get to stand tall and give God the glory. And gain further credibility!
Thank you!
Your almost laughable (if the subject was less serious) referrence [sic] to ..”your journey to the discovery of the real story that is beyond fiction” is a joke.
You actually are endorsing print media?
Like they do the investigating and come up with real facts?
That instead of your office investigating such a serious claim – you rely on news sources?
Seriously?
You refute the fact that I sent legal letters to several federal agencies about these terrorist motives and plans of action?
You refute the fact that those correspondences were illegally stolen by Monroe County officials from your grasp and you did nothing to rectify it?
You refute the fact that I reported Terrorism to TBI Special Agent Jason Legg and it went totally uninvestigated?
You refute the fact that I reported murders by these Terrorist [sic] and offered to go show law enforcement the locales of Body’s [sic] in Arizona?
You refute the fact that the Buzz [sic] [Editor’s Note: “The Buzz” is a local Monroe County-area newspaper] twisted my words and Judge Ross ignored the warning?
You refute the fact that Judge Ross and the Tennessee Appeal [sic] Court, the Tennessee Supreme Court hide [sic] the letters I wrote and you allow those letters to stay covered?
You refute the fact that if someone, anyone were to “take” letters addressed to you it is a federal offense?
You refute the fact I can prove it all factual and lead you to a Terrorist?
You refute the fact that this is Court record and even Monroe County prosecutors hold that my mail to your agencies in regards to this Terrorism was illegally intercepted?
You refute the fact that your agency failed at doing its job by not investigating for yourselves?
You refute the fact that all Terrorist reports are to be taken as 100% truthfull [sic] until PROVEN False?
I’m a semi movie buff. Though now I watch more Christian based movies your letter to Mrs. Rondeau brings a movie to mind.
How to lose a guy in 10 days. [sic]
In that movie, Kate and Matt play a card game that reminds me of you.
Dont [sic] you dare call my character or honesty into question!
If you or your huge justified agency can prove me wrong on a single statement I’ve made on this site I will k*** **** *** on the Monroe County Courthouse steps and give you 30 days to draw a crowd.
You arrogant sad excuse for tax dollars spent.
Over the next several articles and many months to come – we are gonna have fun. I’ve got time on my hands!
The Tennessee FBI, satan and their agents
vs.
Todd Sweet, Jesus and their agents.
I promise Glory will got to God.
But, like a true gentleman and follower of Christ, I will give you one last chance to admit your failure @ protecting the Constitution, the laws and the rights of the American people. To repent to God…..
Not!
Because I already know for absolute certain you will not repent. Its [sic] all about “face.”
Well on your mark – get set – go!
I’m gonna smear your “face” in your corruption.
Let us begin…..

Sweet admitted he was a con man, as I recall. No news there. The Buzz piece was illegible as is that whole rag.
But the Knox FBI rhetoric sounds like it came from my friend Mike who heads up the terrorist section, or perhaps they have a script to follow.
So this was the same story I got when I sat with Mike and his unidentified partner: Walt is a sovereign citizen therefore I shouldn’t associate with him. Walt is a birther so I shouldn’t . . . etc. Walt is telling tall tales so . . . etc. Walt is a martyr looking for the next drama episode, etc., etc.
This is Saul Alinsky stuff. Cheap shots and juvenile.
But are the Power Point statements in the sovereign citizen training defamation of character? If they aren’t, they sure are close!
