...if YOU are accused of being an agent, infiltrator, etc., DON'T take it personally, and don't freak out on everyone. Let's face it, no one, especially a real infiltrator, likes to be called an agent. if you are NOT in fact an agent, the accusation has little chance of causing you any real harm, whereas if you ARE an agent and are called out, you might well have cause to worry. what this suggests to me is that if real activists let accusations slide off their back, then the real infiltrators will have to do the same or else risk appearing obvious. I've been accused of being an agent ever since I brought a video camera to my weekly antiwar demonstrations in 2003--recently some in the truth movement dredged up those very old and hilariously outlandish smears to try to discredit me. the smears are so transparently false that I have no problem with the accusations being made, because they say a lot more about those who post them (truthaction) than they ever could about me.
