We "Terri's Freepers" and "Friends of Terri" are a MOVEMENT! Those online the night we all started singing know this in their bones, and know exactly what I'm talking about. Crossing all political lines, not beholden to any party line, or in abject hero-worship of an iconic Fearless Leader, we're concerned with principle and what we know is right. A movement. As one of those now despised boomers, I've seen movements come and go and I know one when I see it. Movements that were really no threat to the positions of the powers that be were either ignored, lightly ridiculed, or - sometimes - encouraged as a time wasting diversion. Those that began to be effective received a special treatment. Back in the day we called it Cointelpro. Some may object that the term only applies to a specific program to destabilize certain ethnic-based organizations. True enough. However, Cointelpro became the name for the general tactics employed by the Cointelpro program.

The tactics always included planting a sleeper, who'd have the image of a long-time, yet peripheral, supporter. After the sleeper cultivates this image a while, it suddenly plants documents or other disinformation that call into question all the things the movement has proved about the opposition. When anyone proves that the planted disinformation is patently illogical, the sleeper denounces them as supporters of the enemy. Then, the sleeper screams about its "long time supporter" status, sucks up to as many as possible in the movement, and whines, "See what they did to me" -- pointing at those who exposed the sleeper, and accusing the exposers of "causing division". When, of course, it was the sleeper who caused it. Thus were movements split and made ineffective. These tactics worked, very well and very often, on the gullible. Rifts and animosities that never should have been still exist 35 years after the Cointelpro programs of 1970.

So, don't be gullible. If you ever see a "long time Terri supporter" suddenly concocting provably illogical tales that can aid no one but Mikey Schiavo - and implying that anyone who exposes the pro-Schiavo propaganda is a Schiavo/Felos/Greer supporter -- watch out! It means someone is running a Cointelpro type scam on you.

I'm one of those "That feel in it in my bones" Terri changed me, I will never forget.
I'm currently reading Mark Fuhrmans book.

Thanks for that info. I didn't realize that these tactics had a name associated with them, but I do see them in use about Terri more than I would like. I just thought of it as evil in action.

The death worshippers here and elsewhere are the scum of the earth.
