![]() ![]() S/he goads others to violent action, for example by telling them they need to be “warriors.” Upon reflection, the illegal actions in question often have no real purpose and will not advance the goals of the group in any meaningful way. S/he advocates for high-risk illegal action to people s/he should not trust, while claiming to understand the importance of security culture. S/he shows signs of lacking ethics and lacking transparency with the rest of the group. S/he posts photos of actions and meetings on social media sites like Facebook, even tagging activists without their permission (in effect, facilitating law enforcement surveillance). ![]() S/he photographs actions, meetings, and people that should not be photographed. S/he likes getting photographed, even when engaged in illegal activity. S/he works to become one of the “faces” of the organization, and clearly wants to be a poster child for the group, attempting to “brand” their identity with the group’s name, imagery, and identity. S/he eagerly takes credit for actions in the media and begins to promote him/herself. 2.ĭespite the misgivings of some members, the individual quickly rises to a leadership position.

As a member of the Senate oversight committee, I think these agencies should be honest when we actually ask them the questions.A group of people who have been directly harmed by informant provocateurs have put together this checklist, drawing on personal experiences as well as those of other activists and information from informant provocateurs who have gone public. It strikes me as a fairly anemic effort if that was the counterintelligence effort designed to stop the threat as it's being represented. Many people seem to assume that the only intelligence collection that occurred was a single confidential informant and a FISA warrant, i'd like to find out whether that is, in fact, true. Here's the issue that I really feel strongly about with this informant, if there is one, first of all, I don't know for sure, nor does the President, if there really was one.
