UK Counter-Terror agent exposed in New Brunswick, Kanada

Anarchist | 04.11.2010 23:00 | Repression | Social Struggles

Story reposted from anarchistnews.org about a UK Counter-Terror 'Security Consultant' exposed in Kanada. The British man was overheard in a cafe talking to another man, by an individual who subsequently videoed his personal exchange and posted the footage online.

From :  http://anarchistnews.org/?q=node/12639

Source:
"One man said to the other, "I just moved from the UK. I used to work for counter-terrorism out there and in the United States. My wife wanted me to move here to little Fredericton. Not much work for a person like me here. Now I am working for CSIS. I document anti-capitalist and anarchist groups. There are at least two groups that I am researching lately and we plan to eventually infiltrate these groups. Strax and RAAN, the Red and Anarchist Action Network."

This video should be seen in light of the growing militant struggle in Europe, the media-hype-repression against SHAC, Smash EDO and other points of conflict/repression.

By the way, this 'Security Consultant' obviously is a bit thick, being simply overhead in cafe, I mean, that is not very good security, is it?

Well done

Brilliant spontaneous action to be applauded. What interests me is that he is from the UK (going by accent), he is there to "share" information with his Canadian colleagues methinks at another one of these security conferences which large companies are paying for. Companies such as Agenda are making a nice little earner off of our backs hyping up the threat of bloodthirsty anarchos wanting to feast on their flesh. This bloke confirms this he comes out with some absolute crap for example Smash EDO apparently attacked 2 small children physically, SHAC have according to him dug up bodies! He links in anarchist groups in Canada with UK groups such as Smash EDO so probably trying to hype up the threat in Canada, more "security training", talks , conferences = dosh. Might work against big business though if every time someone turns up with a banner they invoke some security lockdown and become hyper paranoid.

Oh my days.... Smash Edo attack children!

This is some priceless shit! I suggest that people do actually watch this moron talk its great for comedy value!

Smash Edo “was started by Red and Anarchist Network” (any one this side of the pond even heard of them OMG "RAAN Brighton” ha ha ha!)

Smash Edo “started out with democratic protest” (as in "this is what democracy looks like?")

Smash Edo “ attacked children in a school” (surely this is libel)

oh and if I have to hear the Shac dig up granny's = terrorist thing again.....

Slightly odd in my opinion but not terrorism!

I suspect that the real secret state isn't that fucking stupid. Sounds to me like this turd is some kind of delusional internet watcher whose convinced somebody on the other side of the pond to pay him to spread scare stories about UK Anarchists. He is trotting out a variation on the all direct action groups are all the same and controlled by some sinister conspiracy, very similar to the stalking injunctions crap.

After the Mark Stone/Kennedy shit its nice to have the comedy wing of the state to cheers us up.

“their might have been a kitten in the trunk”!! HA HA

If he really is NETCU or similar and this ignorant fuck is their finest then we have little to fear my friends...

I totally agree

Just read Lynn's comment before mine and I agree with her analysis. Though id like to add that I suspect that the same happens in the other direction. it serves states/corporations well to believe that trouble always comes from outside.

Please don't think that my flippancy don't make me think that this is still a bit alarming,

Incidentally who said we weren't about job creation. This fine specimen of humanity seems to be getting a few contacts on our backs...

Excellent work

Nice one for confronting this thick shit & for getting it on camera. Sounds like half his info has been gathered from some google searches and indymedia while the rest is completely fabricated. I wonder how much this genius is charging for his services!

Despite the blatant lies about attacks on EDO employee children, its great entertainment and should be widely distributed as an example of national security profitteering by the secret police.

Also good to see him confirming that EDO MBM make the tiny Arming Unit called the ZRFAU (used on Israeli f-16s amongst others), as the company continue to deny it. OOps
