Is this conversation a worthwhile one to pursue. Like I said in the GA discussion, we'd never know for sure,anyway. Let's put noses to the grindstone instead of letting them get out of joint so easy.

When the going gets tough .... The tough get going!

Thanks, Tricia. I do believe focussing on such as this is not productive. The most important thing is that I think we all want the gathering to succeed. There is lots of pressure and worries as the dates get closer; please let’s all stay focussed on the work that needs to be done.

Conversations like this is when I miss being able to take the time and write a personalized article ... But for whatever reason that is not where I am at now.

Here is what I have written in the past about such topics

There are only two available, but both are very important.

The lesser one "War Is A Racket" is very important because Occupy Marines rely heavily on General Butlers plain spoken observations. The article goes deeper than just about General Butler, however.

The Main one "SIMPLE SABOTAGE FIELD MANUAL Strategic Services " does detail some social engineering strategies that may be employed by a mole.

Of course these are historical observations.

We know from the Snowden leaks reveals the training power points of how the NSA and affiliate contractors are active in saboteur actions.
It is very difficult for me to find articles at the moment because my internet is being throttled. However here is one.

Frankly, if the operation has not had assigned agents for intell gathering, but also social engineers it would be surprising.
I have an extensive study on various styles of agent covers, volunteer and paid. I find the best PoA is to look at it as an opportunity to get the person on board the Culling Corruption Campaign. Though I do realize that does not always work.

Maybe someone could pull the relevant documents from
http://www.theguardian.com/world/the-nsa-files
I simply do not have the bandwidth that allows me access to such data heavy media at the moment.

first define mole. me, its #MoleMedicine ... i hope there is a mole in our group. i hope there are several. the question is , for me, is that mole in solidarity with the principles of occupy as would be generally understood by anyone who was new to occupy. I googled "Occupy Principles of Solidarity" i liked them, so those are good for me. http://www.nycga.net/resources/documents/principles-of-solidarity/

the question is their threat to the root. but thankfully, most moles are very much like rabbit medicine, and if you just give them a safe place, most of us doing this kind of work for any length of time have mole medicine. mole medicine in reverse .... sigh. lots of emotions. some express it, some don't ... balancing that out with transparency and deep conversation and listening is the key to that healing that can take an infinity.

Seems I am better off not using that fancy telephonic technology. I am thankful to not be effected by such emotional undertakings.
