It exists.
Thoughts?
I'll get it started. Every civil rights movement in America in the past 50 years has been the subject of intensive counter-intelligence at the hands of domestic counter intelligence agencies in the form of the following:
- infiltration - placement of informants and operatives to report on and operate within the subject environment.
- subversion - operatives work to subvert the movement to the will of the state, or otherwise to undermine the goals of the movement through any means.
- deception - This can take whatever form presents itself as an opportunity. Deception can even come in the form as opportunity for a movement, or a "win".
- deviant cooperation - Sometimes tying a group to another group can undermine it, through political means or the operative status of the compromised group.
- co-opt of leadership - The FBI has been known to undermine groups through deep infiltration, even to the point where they start new groups and instill their own agents as leadership. This is documented in the case of civil rights groups of the 60's.
- coersion and "turning" of informants within the movement - Sometimes the threat of a legal charge can create the leverage needed to "develope" a witness, even where no crime has been done.
- dissemination of falsehoods and propaganda - a tried and true method to destroy ideas and movements.
There's more.
I'm in this to win, as are most of you. As of, well, sometime a few years ago, we became a full-fledged civil rights movement. It kinda happened without anyone noticing, but IT HAPPENED. We're here, we're armed, and we want our rights.
I have no illusions that we've become a target of counter-intelligence in at least one 3-letter agency. I'm not a tinfoil hat wearer, this is logic folks.
Please discuss, and focus on counter-intelligence methodology.
I'm in this to win, not to be undermined by guys in bad suits.
