Breaking Bernie: 21st Century Rat-Fucking

[starroute]

9. Outside Agitators 206 is an offshoot of something called Occupy Hip Hop

The same person seems to be central to both of them. Occupy Hip Hop was part of Occupy Seattle from a very early point -- I found references going back to October 2011 -- and the use of "206" to refer to Seattle seems most common in a hip hop context.

Also, it seems as though what happened with the BLM protesters in Seattle had more to do with local Seattle issues -- gentrification and the general indifference of white liberals to black issues in an area with more Asians and Native Americans than blacks -- than with Bernie himself.

So at this point, the possibility of outside intervention in that event strikes me as very low.

On the other hand, something I'm seriously concerned about is the use of tactics like those revealed in the Anonymous hack of HBGary a few years back. Surveillance, data-mining, the ability for a single individual to control multiple false online personas. That sort of thing, which goes way beyond either Cointelpro or the simple rat-fucking of Karl Rove and pals.
