“Now this IS TG’s job, I suspect. I don’t think he realizes just how burned he is and that the fact he is here is yet further evidence of just how wrong things are in Waco.”
If I am ‘burned’ for bringing out the truth about the MC gangs, then so be it.
Does the gummint send people in not just to get intel but disrupt?
When I was a freshman at UC Boulder in ‘72 there was an anti war protest in response to something Nixon had done, bombing in Loas or something. Having shoulder length hair and wire frame glasses ( I wore them for years before he did) I looked like John Lennon. By then I had a lottery number of 356 so I was pretty sure I wasn’t going no matter what happened. But I was interested to see the event on campus and hear the speakers. Speakers started out calmly enough, reciting the history of the war. I may be remembering it wrong but it seems Ellsberg himself was there speaking. Toward the end a guy in a fatigue jacket came up and asked to speak. He was unscheduled but they let him. I was back about 75 yards from the dais and listening calmly as were we all. Some 25 feet to my right were a line of Boulder PD, to keep order. I noticed a young man in civilian clothing standing with a pack in his jeans and shirt chatting with the police. Pretty soon he starts taking photos with a long lense. He was shooting individuals in the crowd. I remember thinking, we now we all have FBI files. Anyway, meanwhile, the “spontaneous” guest starts on about how he is a B-52 pilot just home and starts ranting and shouting about how our gummint is murdering thousands of peaceful Asians with indiscriminate bombing and, etc. he was getting folks pretty worked up about how we were all murders. Just as he hit “frenzy” some guy runs up and grabs the mike and screams, “enough of this BULLSH... Let’s take the overpass and shut it down. I immediately recognized the dude because not ten minutes before he had been taking pictures for our FBI files. Like Twain said, “all hearts and no brains (is a mob)”. So off everyone goes to “take the overpass”. My gf, we married 6 months later, and I followed along and I remember thinking just how stupid these people were. We were about to physically engage the police and everybody wanted to be on that bridge with only two, narrow avenues of egress. We watched the activities from a safer perspective but I never forgot how that crowd was set in motion by a guy who was clearly a gummint disrupt or.
Who knows, coulda been your dad, TG. Hell, maybe it was YOU.
