F.B.I. Will Begin Disclosing Documents On Infiltration Of Right-Wing Groups

The plot to kidnap Governor Whitmer had at least 12 F.B.I. informants, which led to a case against 5 men—think about that…

There were more than double the amount of informants than the people the F.B.I. ‘caught’, and it begs the question: would the accused plotters have even gone this far without the F.B.I?

Who are the real domestic terrorists if it takes an organized group of 12 men to entrap 5 men in an alleged kidnapping plot?

The 5 men indicted on federal charges are not so unique in their case—far from it…

Sources indicate that the F.B.I. has been using undercover techniques to infiltrate right-wing groups since at least the early 1990s, but precursors to the program have likely been around far longer than that…

Officials at the F.B.I. code-named the program PATCON, and the agency will reportedly begin releasing documents to the public, which shed light on the program, in the coming months:

Undercover agents spied on various right-wing organizations throughout the early ’90s. The #FBI code-named it Patriot Conspiracy (PATCON).

The existing public records on PATCON are relatively sparse. https://t.co/fQl6PHcKM8

"[In] supposed COINTELPRO operations against the right wing groups, there's very little harassment, virtually no disruption, massive paid infiltration. Up to 40% of the members of the Klan by the late 60s were receiving FBI stipends." – Brian Glick, FBI-Klan joint ops & Gary Rowe pic.twitter.com/L2BQgHH2El

According to The Epoch Times, an undisclosed source originally put in the request to have the documents released:

“The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has located approximately 2,665 pages of records potentially responsive to the subject of your request,” states a Dec. 14, 2021, letter seen by The Epoch Times.

It could take many months before the entire trove of documents is released, as the person is expecting to receive an initial set of pages in May. The FBI is in the process of reviewing the records and redacting sensitive information.

Aspects of 1/6 find their precursor in the 1990s, when the Feds started a secret program called PATCON, infiltrating existing militia groups, creating their own militia groups, and inspiring a range of politicized violence, including maybe OKC?https://t.co/68EZqSO7ME

All of the Russiagate conspirators at the FBI, DoJ and CIA should be exiled from America permanently and their property turned into all-the-new-homeless shelters.

PATCON-type ops only make matters worse, history shows.

Glenn Greenwald wrote on the intelligence community’s war on domestic terror last year:

The U.S. security state apparatus regards the agenda of “domestic violent extremists” as “derived from anti-government or anti-authority sentiment,” which includes “opposition to perceived economic, racial or social hierarchies.”

In sum, to the Department of Homeland Security, an “extremist” is anyone who opposes the current prevailing ruling class and system for distributing power.

Anyone they believe is prepared to use violence, intimidation or coercion in pursuit of these causes then becomes a “domestic violent extremist,” subject to a vast array of surveillance, monitoring and other forms of legal restrictions.
