Anyone ever ask FBI if they've had Misha on the payroll? Sounds like their type.
@catfitz Right. Like most of our informants are foreign speaking. You seem to be ill-informed abt FBI's informants, really.

@emptywheel I can assure you that I am thoroughly aware of how the FBI infiltrates radical movements in the US. Oh, and so does the KGB. -
@catfitz OK. THen you agree that either is capable of this? Or you insist that FBI would never hire an Armenian named Misha? -
@emptywheel I don't think it's likely that the FBI hired/used an Armenian named Misha. I think that's the KGB's footprint all over. -
@catfitz Fine then. I think that could be very likely too. Satisfied? -
@emptywheel Not at all. You should also ask why they went to MIT and whether that was sowing disinformation related to Aaron Swartz

@emptywheel Hardly. The real ill-informed person is you with your ingrained "progressivism" and unwillingness to doubt the Kremlin. Awful. -
@catfitz Sorry. I just said it coudl be FSB. How is that "unwillingness to doubt Kremlin"? -
@emptywheel You're definitely leaning toward FBI. So then the challenge 2 u is to prove that this instigator was willing 2 let bombs go off. -
@catfitz I'm not leaning. I'm also NOT saying (tho you are) that FBI couldn't just have fucked up. -
@emptywheel Nope. I'm not saying it couldn't be the FBI. I'm saying that IF you posit that, you must explain why they let a bomb go off.

@emptywheel I personally could see both of them in the peace movements of the 1980s. I don't know why you need to accuse me of ignorance -
@catfitz Because you have repeatedly suggested FBI woudl never hire an informant named Misha. -
@emptywheel Oh, no. I've said nothing like that & u are *lying* as progs like you often do when you get into a fight where u've met u match

@emptywheel You seem to think that all the FBI does is hire people named Mohammed to watch mosques.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@emptywheel Most likely there are numerous FBI informants in Occupy, Anonymous, Moveon etc that look like homegrown normal lefties.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@emptywheel I would imagine that statistically, most FBI informants aren't "foreign speaking" but born in America & native speakers.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
