911, COINTELPRO and Cults

Funny how acrimonious and bitter the disputes in the 911 truth community have become. Have you been following them? Can’t blame you if you don’t. It is becoming nearly impossible to sift through everything.

This is not an accident. This is exactly how COINTELPRO is supposed to work. See Laura Knight-Jadczyk’s recent blog post, “How to Spot COINTELPRO Agents,” as well as this for the details. It is well-worth taking the time to read the lengthy post. There may be no more important topic these days than COINTELPRO.

A sample:

Usually, when we think of COINTELPRO, we think of the most well known and typical activities which include sending anonymous or fictitious letters designed to start rumors, among other things, publishing false defamatory or threatening information, forging signatures on fake documents, introducing disruptive and subversive members into organizations to destroy them from within, blackmailing insiders in any group to force them to spread false rumors, or to foment factionalism, and so on.

What a lot of people don’t keep in mind is the fact that COINTELPRO also concentrated on creating bogus organizations.

These bogus groups could serve many functions which might include attacking and/or disrupting bona fide groups, or even just simply creating a diversion with clever propaganda in order to attract members away so as to involve them with time-wasting activity designed to prevent them from doing anything useful. COINTELPRO was also famous for instigation of hostile actions through third parties so that it looked like just a "disagreement" between two individuals or groups, a "food fight" or something, and there was no way to connect it to any government operation.

It’s a long story, but to make a long story short, be very careful when hearing about some organization being labeled a “cult.”
