COINTELPRO is alive and well online... Warning from a Rebel

If you are an outspoken online critic of the war or Bush, you are being targeted.  I have been the victim of a COINTELPRO operation for many months now.  The original tactics employed were primarily manifested as anonymous emails threatening death if I did not shut down my websites, online slander posts in my name spammed across the Internet, inclusion on endless damaging email lists, and being subject to forged emails sent out to others in my name.  Since the war has started, I've been experiencing a new kind of harassment.  Specifically, there seems to be an organized entrapment campaign.

All of this coincides with a rise in hits to my websites by the FBI, USDOJ, CIA, and DIA as well as various local police departments.  I've received emails claiming to be from sympathizers with former or current government connections.  These emails claim that they can "assist me in my activities."  They include requests to call various telephone numbers and post various codes online.  I interpret these as attempts at entrapment.

The other phenomenon I've been receiving has all of the markings of a sex-sting operation.  I receive occasional instant messages from individuals claiming to be 16 or 17 years old.  These individuals claim to be enthralled by my writings and wish to communicate with me.  I always decline such online exchanges.  I suggest that others in the movement do as well.  These activities provoke thoughts of what happened to Scott Ritter.

The FBI is not as clever as they seem to think they are.  I am a former Defense Department employee who once held a secret clearance.  I was well trained in detecting entrapment for the purposes of blackmail and espionage.  My advise is to be aware that the rise in anguish over the course of the United States is being exploited by these agents.  We all know that we'd like to see major changes in the current administration.  This desire is being exploited.  Do not become entrapped by responding to such emails and messages.  If your receive them, save them.  They might prove a pattern of governmental targeting should you later become the victim of a frame up.
