FBI Agents Provocateurs Infiltrate Oregon Protesters
2016-01-16
"Many activists and militia members are now suspecting that the undercover agents were planning to act as agent provocateurs and create trouble in order to frame the protesters for things that they did not do. This theory is supported by the fact these undercover agents were reportedly bothering locals and acting in a threatening manner.

However, mainstream media has reported that militia members were harassing locals, but now that version of events is being brought into question considering the fact that undercover agents were posing as militia."

#8  ...See, there's the problem: if the terrorists were attacking government employees or facilities, they'd be all over 'em. After all, then THEY would be the targets. But as long as they're just whacking civilians, it's not gonna make much difference.

#5  Doesn't have to be FBI. There are plenty of groups who would like to discredit them. The ruling elite of the DNC and the GOP for example.

#2  actually harassing locals? Extremely unlikely (But not impossible - see ruby ridge, waco, etc.) for actual law enforcement employees. If documented, it could potentially undermine the legitimacy of the cops in the eyes of the jury.

Now an Informant (paid snitch) working for the cops (to get a charge reduced or dropped, for example) tend to be the sort who are undisciplined enough to do stupid, potentially cover blowing things like this.

I wonder if the militia guys did a little background checking of any "volunteers" and found something interesting. If I were involved in such activities, my first reflex upon being joined by someone I did not know would be to look this person up, and see if anything "odd" shows up.

#1  That would be highly unprofessional for FBI undercover agents so I doubt it. Now CIs, that is a different situation.
