A lot of the FBI-created memos designed to create tension and splits from the 
'60s and early '70s do sound juvenile, probably because they were written by 
frat boys.  What's the goal?  An FBI informant here from the early '70s was 
interviewed for a film about the Gainesville Eight (Vietnam Veterans Against 
the War) and his assignment, as he recalled it, was to 'blister the 
personalities' of the people involved.  

But really, apart from the misuse of taxpayer money, does it matter if these 
brownshirts are official or unofficial?  The effect is the same.  I got a 
year of threatening politically-motivated hate letters a few years 
ago--nerve-wracking because you don't know if these are threats or plans.  It 
was probably a volunteer effort rather than a publicly-funded one, but just 
because some people will do this shit for free doesn't mean others don't do 
it for pay.

Anyway, Marta, I'm sorry you had to suffer this crap.
