General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: If need be, do you think that the Feds could find you if you post on Democratic Underground? [View all]graham4anything
(11,464 posts)I would think, like in baseball or in cop world, any plant or bad person would be an irritant to any group anyhow
And to make sure a team or group or cops in general are good, easiest way is to get the plants out, the bad ones out.
because in any group, there are instigators who do not have the goal of the group in mind
It just takes one bad person to create the exact opposite effect a group is trying to gain
and especially as the misbeotten OWS thinking that being anonymous is good.
No, it's the exact wrong way, because anyone can speak for them, and who knows if they are or aren't.
(not to mention being anonymous means they will never run for office, which means they never actually can change the system from within, which is the way any of the great protesters in the past now realize is the way to do it.)
BTW-remind people again,
The legendary Dr. King was wiretapped by John F. Kennedy and his attorney General Robert Kennedy.
So it's nothing new.
And it didn't stop Dr. King did it?
Again, I welcome being stopped at the airport and going through security, because it does keep people safe.
And when I am part of a group, damn right i want to ferret out those who have ulterior angles and motives
because I always wonder, what the hell is anyone trying to hide, when they already know it.
(as said, you pay by CC, have EZ pass and use a discount card at a supermarket, they know what toilet paper i purchase, and i never use cash, and have a complete record of my transactions.
So do they.
So what?
Who gives a spit
BTW-in the older days, when people made a call in a rural area, anyone in the area could have been on the phone with you.
So it don't bother me.
And yes to the answer
But also, if I were in a car in a ditch, they would be able to find me too, and save my life.
And if there is another terror plot, hopefully they will be able to make it safe prior to 3000 people dying like on 9-11.
and people forget that actual real people died on 9-11.
