Federal law enforcement agents have arrested a Florida Man and charged him with trying to organize an armed response to pro-President Donald Trump protesters expected at the state Capitol on Sunday.
I'd be hesitant to call anyone who went AWOL and spent 10 years homeless rather than be deployed to Iraq, gave two years of their life as a fighter for the YPG and has spent the last two years traveling the US attending protests as a street medic a fed without solid evidence.
Yeah, his trajectory would mirror mine if I had read Homage to Catalonia without critically understanding Orwell. It's Brace Belden but with heroin instead of the military or Robert Evans with journalism instead of a sniper rifle. Reactively denying everything as COINTELPRO doesn't allow for understanding it and defeating it in our communities before it kills vulnerable comrades. The guy was probably fucked up from years of homelessness and the OTH discharge would have denied him all but the barest medical benefits from the VA. That's someone whose totally normal anger could be steered toward a productive effort instead of suicide with extra steps.
given that literally all communication the average person has is mediated and mitigated by corporate or state infrastructure, the man himself is inconsequential. he doesn't have to be, do, not be, or not do anything for this to happen. real humans may as well be paperwork for all the FBI cares.
totally! where did you get those records though? if your info was MITM'd, then they could have said he personally killed adolf hitler, sucked off joseph stalin, ate out emma goldman, was the real muscle behind the exile of chiang kai shek, killed a thousand CIA agents in the 70s, is the son of karl marx, and was involved in both cuban liberations (the fake 'oops lol we lied ur r's now' one and the real one)
what leverage could they have on him?
what influence could they have over him?
I don't trust anybody who I only know on paper, especially when I can't establish chain of custody for the paper.
it is of course entirely possible that he's legitimate and just a well intentioned dumbfuck. it's also possible the posts were made and he had nothing to do with them and this is the targetting of a very solid comrade, COINTELPRO style, making a false flag in the process. stay off facebook, kids.
that's the thing. this could be a false flag without him being a fed. what evidence do we have that this happened? facebook posts? wow, those are impossible to fake, and they would NEVER give access to the FBI, who have NEVER slandered lefties in the past
like I said, he COULD be an idiot. or this could all be fake and dude was just baking sourdough when all this supposedly happened.
or this could be some cointelpro shit. never ever ever ever ever trust the FBI. you didn't trust them to adequately deal with the 1/6 thugs, you shouldn't trust them to only target leftists when there's a legit threat.

Here's the court filing.

There's videos of Baker fighting for the YPG and doing medic shit in the CHAZ.
The real COINTELPRO shit is copjacketing. Calling someone a fed without solid proof is just doing the enemy's work for them.

According to the court filing he posted videos of himself on his youtube channel printing out flyers for the event he was planning.

God I wish that were me
I think most of us do. most because we'd be fucking dead by now or some sort of immortal avatar of not-being-a-dick.
