Met Police Agent Provocateurs

[Peter Presland]

Could be, because the Grauniad is the only one really chasing this story.

Worth recalling that many of the Greeny groups targeted by the Met's trained legions of crack leg-over agent provocateurs were furnished with seed (er, pardon the pun) money and premises by offshoots of the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, a veteran British intelligence front used, for example, to manage and penetrate anti-Apartheid groups (and thus the ANC); and that the connections between The Grauniad and the "philanthropic" empire of JRF run very deep. The CIA famously followed the British intel model rather closely with respect to the utility of Quakers et al.

Exactly so.

The Grauniad can be relied upon to be as unrelenting in their pursuit of police wrongdoing as continued 'Establishment authorisation' allows; but MI6 is quite another matter. The apparent blurring of the historical demarcations between MI5, MI6 and to some extent Special Branch on the one hand and the plethora of regular police 'anti-terrorism' initiatives and off-shoots on the other, must be getting a bit confusing for the paper's apparatchiks

The Cryptome article I posted on the CMS yesterday - and especially Rusbridger's Video contributions - are a vivid illustration of the Grauniad's discomfiture, faced as it is with the dilemas ostensibly posed by Wikileaks -v- their continued establishment approval and authorisation.
