Infrared is absolutely a grifter. But i don’t think the ACP are feds. Feds would be more subtle and less cringe. Feds would infiltrate and sabotage existing orgs instead of making their own LARP club. It would be a huge waste of resources considering how tiny the target demographic of the ACP is. The vast majority of reactionaries aren’t going to be drawn to an openly communist org. And the vast majority of progressive minded people who sympathize with socialist and communist ideas are too repelled by the conservative braiworms of the ACP. The ACP is literally filling a political niche that practically no one wants to be in. That is not worth the feds’ time. In my opinion.
Feds don’t directly infiltrate anymore, or at least most of the time they don’t. They get informants to do it, see Beau of the Fifth Column (his name is not Beau and he fakes a southern accent). Usually as the result of a plea deal. Then after that I assume the snitch has sort of free reign in how they carry out their operation as long as they submit results.
The thing that everyone should be looking at is how Hinkle, who is based in the US, gets to meet with Putin, Dugin, Ansarallah, Hamas, goes to Iran – basically does everything the US state hates, BUT never gets in any trouble for it. There’s a man (Mahmoud Khalil) who is currently MIA after being adbucted from his home in New York by the police for talking about Palestine, but Hinkle gets to talk to an audience of 2 million + on twitter, he gets to travel around the world meeting heads of state that sponsor terrorism (according to US State Department of course), he gets to meet current war enemies of the US, and he gets to talk about that on social media openly, and he doesn’t even get questioned when he comes back? Even Blumenthal, who is the son of an aide to Bill Clinton, got detained and questioned when he came back to the US.
That is indeed very suspicious. But how do the feds benefit from that? In the case of Beau it was clear, he was being used to propagate imperialist views under a progressive guise. What are they achieving with Hinkle? Are they using him as a spy? Or do they think that by associating someone as off-putting as Hinkle, who gives off massive grifter vibes, with anti-imperialist causes they can discredit those causes? Is it all about turning liberals off from anti-imperialism?
Because if so, i think they didn’t need to put in all that effort. Liberals are already conditioned to go along with virtually every imperialist narrative. Whereas principled anti-imperialists are going to stick by their position regardless. So what’s it all for? That’s what i can’t figure out. If he is an asset why aren’t they using him to push pro-Zionist and pro-NATO talking points?
And how does someone like Tucker Carlson fit into the picture? He’s also gotten to meet with some very prominent Russians, including Putin, as well as other world leaders like Viktor Orban, who at least outwardly plays the role of an opposition to the EU Atlanticists. Tucker has also been saying some things that you’d think, at least at first glance, wouldn’t be in the interest of the Washington-Langley crowd. Isn’t it possible that this is just genuine reactionary infighting rather than all part of some nefarious master plan?
I’m trying to understand this but it seems too convoluted and too risky. I wouldn’t sign off on this OP if i was managing the CIA psyops division. What if instead of achieving what they want to achieve they instead inadvertently increase the popularity of anti-imperialist views? The only way this makes sense to me is if they are still waiting to “flip the switch” and have Hinkle do a 180 on his position once he’s amassed enough of a following. I could totally see that happening.
Infrared thing is pure grifter shit. With the ACP angle mixed in they could be feds too.
