In my latest Substack post, I briefly described my surprise when finding a man that looks like homeless trespasser drinking water from the faucet in the kitchen of this office building. He offered me advertising space in a billboard, but when I asked for his business card, he told me he does not have one yet.

As I forecasted, he "happened to be exiting the office" when I came back from work

Captured, Killed or Compromised: #CIA Admits to Losing Dozens of #Informants.#Counterintelligence officials said in a #TopSecret cable to all stations and bases around the world that too many of the people it #recruits from other countries to spy for the U.S. are being lost.

' As 2020’s long hot summer of protests deepened, [FBI spy Michael] Windecker became ... more proactive in his advice, encouraging activists to consider taking the protests to the next level.

He told one Black Lives Matter leader: “I can teach you how to shoot a gun, to hand-to-hand combat, all the way up to like blowing up fucking buildings and guerrilla warfare tactics and sabotage.” '

So. The #NSA and #FBI is recruiting #informants from #LasVegas, particularly their cybersecurity programs to come after me eh?

Amazing episode to reinforce #ACAB. No due process, no accountability, no transparency.

Factually! with Adam Conover - Snitching with Alexandra Natapoff

What exactly is a #snitch, and why is the use of #informants so corrosive to #criminaljustice? This week, Adam is joined by Alexandra Natapoff to talk about why the government cuts deals with informants, and how this practice lets the wealthy off the hook and puts marginalized people in harms’ way.

After they're out of the news expect #SnitchJacket #Disruption operations, #Provocateurs #Informants, deals to be made for them to spy on the left, NOT RIGHT (except ofc to snare more fed recruits) and #GreenISTheNewRed https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/15/us/whitmer-kidnap-sentence-michigan.html

#FBI Had #Informants in #ProudBoys, #Court Papers Suggest. https://chaunceyibrowniii.com/chaunceys-blog/f/fbi-had-informants-in-proud-boys-court-papers-suggest

So, back to an earlier thread on the FBI, Proud Boys, and the fact that Enrique Tarrio was an FBI informant.

https://mastodon.social/@AnarchoNinaWrites/105939779108488224

The conclusion Nina draws from this is that "the FBI was running the Proud Boys".

So, I've got issues with that characterisation.

Consider a few alternate scenarios:

• A US left-wing organisation is infiltrated by intelligence / FBI operatives or agents. Are those "run" by the FBI?
• East Germany, in which to a first approximation half the population was informing on the other half. We now have the Stazi files. (Similar well-documented mass citizen-conducted surveillance is also documented in Ukraine, where the KGB files have been made public.)
• Puerto Rico, where the FUPI independence movement was heavily infiltrated by, again, FBI-managed informants. WNYC's "La Brega" podcast covers this, see: https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm/episodes/encyclopedia-betrayal-on-the-media#ember10324782
