This was a difficult article to read. These people live in another world. They use the word “moment” 15 times.

“These people live in another world.”

No, they don’t. That’s the problem. They live in our world and they’re bound and determined to destroy it.

And we are stuck living with them.

For now anyway.

The article correctly noted that this is how COINTELPRO destroyed leftist organizations in the early 1970s—used infiltrators to ignite internal civil wars based on some members accusing others of lack of purity.

If they were true conspiracy theorists it would have occurred to them that perhaps the same thing is going on today—since many of these groups are in the Sanders wing of the Democratic Party and the Democratic establishment wants them to be obedient party members.

It is easy to imagine the FBI pulling out the old disruption methods and using them on these groups (as well as right wing groups of course).

How about reminding these organizations that they are harming the planet by using electricity in their offices?

Their executive directors need to get rid of their perks like cars—and take the bus around town!
