Nowadays it is no longer a secret that the US and State Governments
along with its agencies like the FBI, CIA, ATF, DHS and others have long since
infiltrated dissenting organizations and movements like the Civil Rights,
Anti-War, Occupy Wall Street and the Patriot Movements as well as organizations
like the Ron Paul R3volution, the Tea Party, the Libertarian Party and many
others, in order to destroy and render them ineffective from within.The practice of government infiltration which includes programs like COINTELPRO and MK-ULTRA has been so successful over so many years that organizations and movements like the Ron Paul R3volutiuon, the GOP, and the Democrats themselves have copied the government practice and now are infiltrating competing organizations themselves. Leaders of said organizations and movements nowadays are using and encouraging not only the word “infiltration” as if it was the most normal, moral and ethical thing to do in life.
“Infiltration” however has very strong connotations with “Cloak
and Dagger” and “Subversion”. So, let’s look therefore at what the practice of
infiltration actually is.
Google defines “infiltrate” as:
1.
Gain access to (an organization, place, etc.)
furtively and gradually, esp. in order to acquire secret information.
2.
Permeate or become a part of (something) in this
way: "computing has infiltrated most professions now".
Merriam-Webster defines “infiltrate” as:
1.
to cause (as a liquid) to permeate something by
penetrating its pores or interstices
2.
to pass into or through (a substance) by
filtering or permeating
3.
to pass (troops) singly or in small groups
through gaps in the enemy line
4.
to enter or become established in gradually or
unobtrusively usually for subversive purposes <the intelligence staff had
been infiltrated by spies>
Examples of “infiltrate” are given as:
1.
The gang was infiltrated by undercover agents.
2.
Attempts to infiltrate undercover agents into
the gang have failed.
3.
Water can easily infiltrate the soil.
Personally, I see very little morally and ethically
upstanding in the practice of infiltration, undermining and subversion and
think that many leaders in today’s political organizations and movements are
ill-advised in using infiltration tactics in their dealings with competing
organizations and movements. That alone could be a major contributing factor to
the disunity of today’s Liberty and Occupy movements and organizations and a
creator of much bad blood within the leadership and supporters of said movements.
I think the practice of infiltration and subversion
should be left to tyrannical governments and their goons while the supposedly
more moral and ethical society should practice cooperation and helping each
other instead of destroying each other by way of infiltration and subversion.
