[SAMPLE] MHCHAOS Agents & Johnny Acid-seeds (Pt. II): Confidential Informant Infiltrations

Sub to the PPM Patreon to access the entire ten hours of "MHCHAOS AGENTS..." Pt. II & III. The third installment—"THE COLUMBIA COMMUNES TRIGGER COINTELPRO RECALIBRATION"—is now live: patreon.com/ParaPowerMapping What’s on the docket for today? Well, we’re going to put the finishing touches to our Drugs as Weapons Against Us base, wrapping off the majority of the excerpts from the Potash book that I wanted to work into this series as we expand our primary & secondary source assemblage. We’re going to hammer our way thru John's coverage of SDS’s history for the most part, including the Columbia Uprising and up to the traditional leadership’s gradual mutation into the Weather Underground, triggered in part by the incident where Mark Rudd was involuntarily dosed by an FBI informant. We’re also going to introduce the Grateful Dead’s manager and a retelling of their smuggling into the locked down Columbia campus by bread van to perform & likely dose the protesters, affixing the anecdote to one of the towers flaring out from our source assemblage. We’re going to learn about their manager Rock Scully, his civil rights protesting, & month long imprisonment (a situation that puts a person at risk of turning by the feds, just saying). Speaking of informants & undercover agents, we’re going to introduce a number of them today, working them into our MHCHAOS Rogue’s Gallery w/in this constantly expanding & renovating structure... These CIs include: George Demmerle (who infiltrated a smattering of the New Left groups we’re focusing on in the NYC & Lower East Side scenes) Bob Pierson (a Chicago cop who attached himself to one of the Yippie leaders like a remora during the Chicago Convention protests) Richard Aoki (one of the few non-black Black Panther Party members & onetime Minister of Education who infiltrated & surveilled everyone from CPUSA, YSA, the Trotskyist Socialist Workers Party, the Third World Liberation Front-organized strike at UC Berkeley in the late ‘60s and more besides on behalf of his FBI handler Burnie Threadgill… We’re even going to read some redacted docs from his FBI file which will set an exciting precedent for our cont’d investigation into other informers. ***FULL NOTES ON THE PATREON...*** Some additional resources referenced in this installment (will include a fully updated Works Cited eventually): Charles Perry - The Haight-Ashbury: A History Aaron Leonard & Connor Gallagher - A Threat of the First Magnitude: FBI Counterintelligence & Infiltration from the Communist Party to the Revolutionary Union - 1962 - 1974 Seth Rosenfeld - Subversives: The FBI's War on Student Radicals and Reagan's Rise to Power The Richard Aoki FBI Files There’s a ton more besides & much more yet to come.
