       | in Camden, New Jersey and told agents of a plan by several of his
       | friends to raid the draft board in that city, remove the files,
       | and destroy them. Hardy was one of the gang, but changed his
       | mind. He was immediately hired as an informer and told to return
       | to the gang and report on their plans, which he did. On August
       | 22, the FBI was waiting when the group struck, and twenty-eight
       | were arrested. The trial began on February 5, 1973. Hoover died
       | in May 1972, but his ghost must have suffered a shock as Hardy
       | changed his mind again and became a witness for the defense. He
       | told the truth, namely that the FBI had used him as a
       | provocateur, and that the burglary could not have taken place
       | without him and the burglary tools that the FBI had supplied._

       | What are the odds the FBI has done this more recently than 1971?

         | It is a fair assumption that they do this regularly, politics
         | aside one should ask why were there so many FBI agents at the
         | Jan 6 debacle and why didn't they do more to quell the
         | violence. The origins of Ruby Ridge and Waco are fine examples
         | of insanity. Nevertheless inciting crime and capturing bad guys
         | seems like a game they like playing.

       | up NSA whistleblower Karen Stewart and also watch the tragic
       | video of Myron May who gives an accurate description of their
       | tactics. Ask me how I know.
