Austin Activist reveals he's a FBI informant-1/2

Prominent Austin Activist Admits He Infiltrated RNC Protest Groups as FBI Informant

An Austin-based activist named Brandon Darby has revealed he worked as an FBI informant in the eighteen months leading up to the Republican National Convention. Darby has admitted to wearing recording devices at planning meetings and wearing a transmitter embedded in his belt during the convention. He is expected to testify on behalf of the government later this month in the trial of two Texas activists who were arrested at the RNC on charges of making and possessing Molotov cocktails.

Homeland "Security" = KGB

[sugarpuddin88]

Glad to see nothing has improved since the 60s

Doesn't the FBI have terrorist or racketeers to follow up on?

Instead, tax payers have FBI take down "protesters"

[SissyLou1]

The "protesters" were building bombs to kill people with. The FBI absolutely should have been involved to stop the thugs.

Is this part 2?  Both are labeled as part 1...

@xxashyy Yeah, that makes a ton of sense. Dude, spend half an hour reading up on the things the KGB did and the scale on which they did them so you can understand how ridiculous and offensive that comparison is.

This reminds me of a recent article by Clay Shirky:

"Were used to the future turning out differently than we expected; it happens all the time. When the past turns out differently, though, it can get really upsetting, and because people dont like that kind of upset, were at risk of finding new reasons to believe false things, rather than revising our sense of what actually happened."

Anarchist killed VI Lenis. If these people had not been doing something that was immoral and illegal,

there would have been no need to expose it. So few have the courage to stand up for what is right - Brandon is one of those few.

Our society is in such a state of moral decline that people don't know the difference between right and wrong anymore - sad, and frightening.

Stalin was wrong. Trotsky was right.
