(6,896 posts)I suppose the literal interpretation of your last sentence can stand.
But these sorts of GOVERNMENT DEPLOYED SOCK PUPPET OPERATIONS
are not looking to stir up bad behavior in their victims. They are there to keep the bad stuff safely
covered by their "plausible" denials and disruptive attempts. Attempts to silence or remove offending POV's.
Trying to sucker people into violating the board rules.
As far as inciting crimes, thats a tough road for an infiltrator surrounded by peace and justice minded adults.
If they hope to succeed they have to do all the work and prey upon someone of weak mind and
immature spirit.
Having been somewhat famously spied upon by a JTTF infiltrator, I realize that it was not an opportunity
for provoking illegal actions, but if it had been, that surely would have played out.
It is more than enough that OUR government was deploying military "anti-terror" assets on peace advocates,
rather than expending all efforts watching over weak points in infrastructure.
It is almost completely certain that the political movements in opposition to illegal invasions and the usurping of
constitutionally guaranteed protections by a government unwilling to protect its own election process
WAS the main concern.
thats a straw horse youre riding.
Maybe we should take up a collection and buy you a real pony.
