How to Spot a Spy (Colntelpro Agent)
One way to neutralize a potential activist is to get them to be in a group that does all the wrong things. Why?
The message doesn't get out.
A lot of time is was led
The activist is frustrated and discouraged
Nolhing good is accon,plished.
FBI and Police lnfonners and l nfillralO<S will infest any group and lhey have phoney activisl organizalions established.
Their purpose is to prevent any real movement for justice or eco-peace from developing in this country.
Agents come in small, medium or large. They can be of any ethnic background. They can be male or female.
The actual size of the group or movement being infiltrated is irrelevant. It is the potential the movement has for becoming large which brings on the spies aOO saboteurs.
This booklet lists tac tics agents use 10 slow things down, foul things up. destroy the movement a.nd keep tabs on attivists
It is the agent's job to keep the activist from quitting such a group. thus keeping him/her under control.
In some situations, to get control. the agent will tel.I the activist.
,·You're chv1cling lhe movemen1 ·
(Here, I have added lhe psychological reasons as lo WHY lhis manewe< works lo control people)
This inviles guilty feelings. Many people can be controlled by guilt The agenls begin relalionships with activisls behind a well-developed mask of "dedication 10 lhe cause." Because of lheir
olten declared dedication. (and actions designed 10 prove this), when they criticize the activist he or she • being 1ruly dedica1ed 10 the movemen1 • becomes convinced lhal somehow. any
issues are THEIR fault This is because a truly dedicated person lends 10 believe lhat everyone has a conscience and that nobody would dissimulate and lie like 1ha1 ·on purpose: If s
amazing how far agents can go in manipulating an activist because the activist will constantly make excuses foe the agent who regularly declares their dedication to the cause. Even if they
do, occasionally, suspe<:l the agent, they will pull lhe wool over their own eyes by rationalizing: ' lhey did that unconsciously ... lhey didn't really mean it... I can help them by being forgiving
and accepting " and so on and so forth.
The agent will tell lhe aclivist
"You're a leadefl'
This is designed to enhance the activist's self~teem. His or her narcissistie admiration of his/her own activist/altruistic intentions increase as he or she identifies with and consciously
admires the altruistic declarations of the agent which are deliberately set up to mirroc those of the activist
This is "malignant pseudoidentification: It is the process by which the agent consciously imitates or simulates a certain behavior to foster the activist's identification with him/her. thus
increasing the activist's vulnerabilily to exploitalion. The agenl will simulale the more sublle self-concepls ol the activist
Activists and those who have altruistic self-concepts are most vulnerable to malignant pseudoidentification especially during won< with the agent when the interaction includes matter relating
to their competency, autonomy, or knowledge.
The goal of the agent is to increase the activist's general empathy for the agent through pseudo-identification with the activist's self-concepts.
The most common example of lhis is lhe agen1 who will complimenl 1he activis1 for his competency or knov,ledge °' value 10 lhe movement. On a more subtle level, the agent will simulate
affects and mannerisms of the activist which promotes identification via mirroring and fee:lings of "twins hip", It is not unheard of fOf activists. enamored by the perceived helpfulness and
competence of a good agent, to find themselves considering ethical violations and perhaps, even Illegal behavior. in the service of their agent/h.an.dJer.
The activist's "fell quality of peffection" [self-<:oncepl) is enhanced, and a strong empalhic bond is developed wilh the ag"'11 through his/her imitation and simulation of the viclim's own
narcissisl ic inves1men1s. (self-concepts) Thal is. if the activist knows, deep inside, their own dedicalion 10 1he cause. lhey will project 1ha1 on10 the agent who is "mirroring" 1hem.
The activist will be deluded into thinking that the agent shares this feeling of identification and bonding. In an activist/social movement setting, the adversarial roles that activists naturally play
vis a vis the establishme,nt/govemment, fosters ongoing processes of intrapsychic spiriting so that "twinship alliances .. between activist and agent may render whole sectors or reality testingunavailable
to the activist. They literally ·1ose touch with reality."
Ac1ivis1s who deny 1heir own narcissis1ic inves1men1s (do not have a good idea of their own self-concep1s and lha1 they ARE concep1s] and consciously perceive themselves (accura1ely, as
ii were) to be "helpers" endowed with a special a,noun1 of al1ruism are exceedingly vulnerat)le 10 lhe affective (emolional) simulalion of the accomplished agent
Empathy is fos tered in the activist through the expression of quite visible affects. The presentation of tearfulness, sadness, longing, fear. remorse. and guilt, may induce in the helper-oriented
activist a strong sense of compassion. while unconsciously enhancing the activist's narcissistic investment in self as the embodiment of goodness.
The agent's expresssion ol such simula1ed affects may be quire compelling lo the observer and difficult 10 disting~ish froo, deep emotion,
It can usually be identified by two B'lents~ however.
First, the activist who has analyzed his/her own narcissistic roots and is aware of his/her own potential for being •emotionally hooked," will be able to remain cool and unaffected by such
emotional outpourings by lhe agenl.
As a result of this unaffecled, cool, allilude. 1he Second evenl will occur. The agent will recompensale much too quickly following such an affeclive expression leaving lhe activist wilh lhe
impcession 1hat "the play has ended. the cunain has fallen." and the imposlure. for 1he momen1, has finished. The agent will then move quickly to anothe< activisl/victim
The fact is, the movement doesn't need leaders, it needs MOVERS. "Follov, the leader~ is a waste of time.
A good agent will want to meet as often as possible. He or she will talk a lot and say little. One can expect an onslaught of long, unresolved discussions.
Some agents take on a pushy, arrogant, or defensive manner:
To disrupl 1he agenda
To side-lrack the discussion
To inlerrupl repea tedly
To feign ignorance
To make an unfounded ace usation against a person.
Calling someone a racist, for example. This tacti-c is used to discredit a person in the eyes of all other group members.
Saboteurs
Some saboteurs pce1end to be ac1ivis1s. She o, he will ....
Wrile encyclopedic flyers (in the presenl day, webs~es)
Print flyers in English only.
Have demollStrations in places where no ooe cares.
Solicit funding from rich people inslead ol grass roots support
Display banners wiJh 100 many words 1ha1 are confusing.
Confuse issues.
Make lhe wrong demands.
Compcomise lhe goal.
Have endless discussions that waste everyone's time. Th.e agent may accompany the endless discussions with drinking, pot smoking or other amusement to slow down the activist's
work.
Provocateurs
Want to establish "'leaders" to set them up for a fall in order to stop the movement.
Suggest doing foolish, illegal things lo gel the activisls in trouble.
Encourage militancy.
Want 10 taunt 1he aulho<ities.
Attempt to make the activist compromise their values,
Attempt to instigate. violence. Activisim ought to atways be non-violent.
Attempl to provoke revolt among people who are ill-prepared to deal with the reaction of the authorities to such violence.
lnfonnants
Want everyooe to sign up and sing in and sign everything.
Ask a lol ol questions (galhering data~
Want to know what events the activist is planning to attend.
Attempl to make the activist defend him or herself to identify his or her beliefs, goals. and level of committment.
Recn,iting
Legitimate activists do not subject people to hours of persuasive dialog. Their actions, beliefs, and goals speak for themselves.
Groups that 00 recruit are missionaries. military. and fake political parties or movements set up by agents.
Surveillance
ALWAYS assume that you are under surveillance.
At this point, if you are NOT under surveillance. you are not a very good activistJ
Scare Tactics
They use lhen,.
Such tac tics include slander, defamalion, 1hrea1s. gelling close 10 disaffecled or minimally commilled fellow activists to persuade lhe,n (via psychological 1ac1ics described above) to 1um
against the movement and give false testimony against their former compatriots. They will plant illegal substances on the activist and set up an arrest; they will plant false infonnation and set
up .. exposure."' they will send incriminating letters [emails] in the name of the activist; and more; they will do whatever society will allow.
This booklet in no way covers alt the ways agents use to sabotage the lives of sincere an dedicated activists.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression
Strong, credible allegations of htgh-level cnmmal acf,v,ty can bnng down a government. When the government lacks an effective, fact-based defense. other techmquos must be employed. The
success of these techniques depends heavily upon a cooperative, compliant press and a mere token opposition patty.
Dummy up. If il's not reported, if it's not news, it didn't happen.
2,. Wax indignant. This is also known as the ~How dare you{ gambit
Characterize the charges as "mmors" or, better yet, "wild rumors." If, in spite of the news blackout. the public is still able to learn about the suspicious fac ts. it can only be through

Call the skeptics names like "conspiracy theorist," "nutcase," "ranter," "kook," "crnckpot," and, of course, "rumor monger." Be sure, too, to use heavily loaded verbs and
