" Barrett describes this group as having "black propaganda" capabilities that proposed disinformation, intimidation and hacking of activist groups such as Code Pink, Wikileaks and its supporters."

Can confirm this, have seen with own eyes. Private investigators/pinkertons/stratfor are active in a ton of public spaces, trying to entrap people, gather information on them. I believe my reddoot account was silo'd because I started speaking up about my experiences, which have definitely amplified in number and intensity this year.

There are now secret police in America, we wouldn't know anywhere near as much about them without Barrett. His writing is also excellent. If everyone had the same level of commitment to freedom, we wouldn't be where we are.
