babble is rabble.ca's discussion board but it's much more than that: it's an online community for folks who just won't shut up. It's a place to tell each other — and the world — what's up with our work and campaigns.

Ever suspicious, i can't help but think the notion of cointelpro is itself a disinformation campaign to make forum frequenters feel that their posting activities are actually more important than they are, i.e., an actual threat to the controlling powers, thus encouraging them to post more, to be more suspicious of others' posts, and ultimately make them too tired for real life, in-the-flesh activism.

... Will the paranoia never end ???

PS: when I saw the word "cointel", I thought: "Trolls who phone you from pay phones?!!?"

Ya, and Pinochet's DINA/CIA, Batista's BRAC/CIA, SAVAK/CIA in Tehran, ISI/CIA in Pakistan were all about making ordinary people  feel special, too. Obama Administration Endorses Continued Spying on the Lives of Americans Justice Department Moves to Squash NSA Spying Suits 2009

That video had a germ of a point to it in that there are some nasty state organizations which will support and pay people to get their message out on the internet.

But it kind of descended into some conspiracy crap in there, and they pretty much lost me at the word "infowars".  And saying anyone who doesn't like Ron Paul.  Or complaining that "no one likes my video, it must be a conspiracy!"

NSA beats warrantless wiretap rap

Quote:
A Federal judge has dismissed a complaint against the National Security Agency's (NSA) Bush-era warrantless wiretapping programme, prompting suggestions the US government is now able to mount mass surveillance operations unhindered by the courts or constitution.

Five AT&T customers sued the NSA after it emerged it had persuaded the telco to provide a wiretap in a major internet traffic exchange in San Francisco. The five claimed the programme, revealed by an AT&T whistleblower, had violated privacy laws.

Late on Thursday, Judge Vaughn Walker ruled that because the internet traffic of millions of Americans had been caught up in the dragnet, the harm alleged in the complaint was not specific to the plaintiffs, so the case should not proceed.

Spying on the lives of millions at time.

What is up with this cult around Ron Paul? The man is a freak, yet Americans adore him. Some of my most lefty friends in the US are now Ron Paul supporters. maybe I gave my friends too much credit.

Dare I hope that a training video for detecting "Cointelpro" trolls might actually result in FEWER false positives? That would be super. Less time spent pointlessly accusing fellow babblers of being bought-and-paid-for, and more time fighting the real enemy!

Why, that's exactly what a freemason Illuminati Liberal-Trotskyite Harper-loving reptilian humanoid MKULTRA-brainwashed Mossad agent moonlighting as a COINTELPRO operative working for the Bilderberg group after his last job blowing up the World Trade Center pretending to be a lefty babbler would say!

Hello. Now that you have found your way to the Rabble/Babble Activist Toolkit, I hope you will put some resources in it.

My favorite two vids are 'the three provocateurs caught' and the Dzicansky murder. Make sure your cell phone streams(Qwk, or others) and does not just save because when you hand them the phone, it IS deleted. Play nice with the grizzley bears, if your don't hand them the phone they're going to take it; there's going to be 10,000 of them at our olympics and they already spent two weeks here rehearsing. The budget for this crap! Off topic? I don't think so, everything in the thread is about evidence.
