Do you think any CIA has infilitrated the anti-war movement?
During the anti-communist 1950s, the CIA tried to get into the communists operations here. They also set up anti-communist organizations.

Phillip Randolph, a famous civil rights leader, was duped by the CIA. He spoke out feverently against the communists and their slavery, which I do agree with since Stalin was a a$$hole.

However, Randolph was a socialist himself. He was a part of the CIA subsidized Congress for a Cultural Freedom. He didn't know, but it was revealed in 1967 that it was a tool of the CIA.

The actions of Randolph and others, scholars say, may have set back the civil rights movement by ten years since it convinced everyone to support the other conservative ideology instead of the more progressive one.

2. The CIA and FBI finance much of the socialist/anti-war 50's and 60's
Edited on Sat Oct-25-03 01:52 PM by papau
Infilitrated is perhaps the wrong word -

Lead and see who might follow - and where would they stop.

The "I led 3 lives" fellow was an eyesore in NH for years - and then a TV series - as we were warned that big brother knew every move.

And now we have computers - and computer error - and DA "error" - today a guy got out of prison in Boston after serving 7 years of the sentance he got for murder - a murder the DA had evidence that he had not committed! Before you feel to sorry the guy was into crime - but I don't like the idea of the DA breaking the Law as if the DA was Ashcroft or Bush or Rummy.

3. And law enforcement creates lotsa crime.
Of course, "they" always say they merely provide the "opportunity" for someone to commit a crime.

The entire criminal justice system should be overhauled.

Good ideas on how to reform it can be found in the thinking of people associated with "Critical Legal Studies". Google, and you'll find plenty.

8. FBI and local cops more likely
They will be the ones suggesting outrageous, damaging things, as well as illegal activities.

A peace group in Fresno, I believe, was infiltrated by a local cop recently. They found out about it, when the cop died in an accident, and they recognized his photo from the obit.
