I want to remind people of John Williams, who spent two years undercover in a right wing militia dropping information to journalists. What a guy. https://www.propublica.org/article/ap3-oath-keepers-militia-mole

Pretty insane jump to go from “The SPLC embedded people in white supremacist groups to monitor them, and shared those findings with law enforcement” (what actually happened) to “The SPLC literally fully astroturfed the alt-right movement and nobody knew”

To be clear, unrelated to the SPLC- I just thought that with recent news we could use a reminder of how informants work.

John Williams put in work- enough to become trusted, become an intel officer! He was able to gather information on contacts the militia had in law enforcement, journalists that they had staked out and doxxed, threats made. And to do that, he had to become a member of the militia and do militia things. He had to fulfill his duties as an “intel officer”. If the SPLC paid him for his work, and he passed the information to them- this would be included in the charges against them.

Just a reminder. Don’t trust the Justice Dept on this one.
