[GPSCC-chat] Government program to Manipulate, Deceive, and Destroy Reputations of political opponents

[Spencer Graves]

Hello, All:


       The US Army recently attempted to recruit a group of anti-war 
protesters and push them to become violent to discredit the antiwar 
movement.  Those allegations were made by Glenn Crespo and his attorney 
Larry Hildes in a lawsuit filed against the US Army, according to a 
segment on, "Inside the Army Spy Ring & Attempted Entrapment of Peace 
Activists, Iraq Vets, Anarchists" in Democracy Now for February 25, 2014 
(http://www.democracynow.org/2014/2/25/exclusive_inside_the_army_spy_ring).


       This is only one example of they type of activities pursued by 
the "Five Eyes" intelligence collaboration between the five major 
anglophone countries, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United 
Kingdom, an the United States.  This is documented in an article on "How 
Covert Agents Infiltrate the Internet to Manipulate, Deceive, and 
Destroy Reputations" by Glenn Greenwald, Feb. 24, 2014, in 
"firstslook.org" 
(https://firstlook.org/theintercept/2014/02/24/jtrig-manipulation and 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Eyes).


       I believe this calls for political action to dramatically 
restrict the ability of the government to keep secrets, as outlined in 
my blog on "Restrict government secrecy not data collection" at 
"http://sanjosepeace.wordpress.com".


       Be well and be outraged.
       Spencer


p.s.  You may know that "firstlook.org" is a new Internet news 
organization founded by eBay billionaire, Pierre Omidyar, with 
collaborators like Jeremy Scahill, author of "Dirty Wars", and Glenn 
Greenwald, author of numerous stories about the US government activities 
based on information from Ed Snowden.
