It's definitely not that most people think this kind of talk is insane. Definitely not that. It's the FBI.
- balancer 6y agoNo gaslighting, please. It's called COINTELPRO. Here is a great resource for those that aren't aware: https://archive.is/YpeXZ https://archive.is/YpeXZ
- Natsu 6y agoIf you really want to go down rabbit holes, COINTELPRO was run by Mark Felt, who is better known as Deep Throat.
- lawnchair_larry 6y agoNo, it’s not called COINTELPRO. That was a program from half a century ago. Nobody left at the current FBI even worked there when that program existed.
- balancer 6y agoCOINTELPRO is common online vernacular for "spooks on the internet". In the the linked article it makes this clear, the programs have new names and the paper trail is minimized. In any case, it is clear as day when shills start shilling. Like I said, please, no gaslighting.
