"...there is a significant penetration of the so-called "9/11 Truth" movement by elements funded and supported by the Russian-Israeli Mafia and its supporters in the Bush administration and U.S. media. The reason for the penetration is primarily to deter the movement from looking at the role of the Russian-Israeli Mafia in the terrorist attacks and ensuring that more far out disinformation theories are accepted as credible explanations for the systematic and coordinated "failures" of the U.S. air defense, air traffic control, law enforcement, immigration, and intelligence systems." - Wayne Madsen Report, Dec. 26-27, 2006

"We shouldn't be secretly on the lookout for 'suspicious looking people'... because, they're not gonna be suspicious looking! ... Agents, will do anything to establish their credibility, up to and including cold-blooded murder. So, in our movement, they would tell any lie ... in other words, anyone of you could be an agent. I don't mean that in any mean-hearted way... I just mean it literally, and on the face of it ... the British at the highest level were accomplishing what they wanted, which is always, "Divide and Conquer"... 4 out of 5 dictators agree! Divide and conquer works! ... you guys who are agents in this room, you know... that you don't know, which other people in this room are agents. I know you don't know. And it's better that you don't know because if you met one of the other agents and something went wrong, and you spilled the beans, then there's a lot of damage done... it's all 'need to know' all the way up." - Barrie Zwicker, June, 2006

"So I’m going to say this group, more than any other that I can think of in terms of a movement, is going to be infiltrated, is infiltrated and there are going to be all kinds of efforts to subvert your work, all kinds of efforts to corrupt your work and all kinds of efforts to discredit you. Please understand that and take it in the spirit in which it is being given because this is what will happen and probably is happening. So please... your work is too important, your mission is too precious. Be careful in every aspect of the work, make sure your allegations, your claims are well founded because if they're not you will be discredited."
-- Dr. William F. Pepper, June, 2006

"At one point in my life I thought that real conspiracies were a left-wing fantasy, and that sophisticated Marxists and other social theorists would not have reason to want to acknowledge the existence of such conspiracies against the Left or against anyone else. But when I was indicted for "conspiracy and using the facilities of interstate commerce with the intent of inciting to riot" (as one of the Seattle Seven federal conspiracy trial in 1970 arising from a large demonstration against the Vietnam war and in support of Black liberation which I had organized and which turned violent when police attacked the demonstrators) I quickly learned that my organization (the Seattle Liberation Front) was totally infiltrated by police agents.

Indeed, many of those most vociferous in denouncing me and other leaders for being "too timid" were actually paid FBI informants or members of various law enforcement agencies. When one such changed his mind and began to reveal his story of having been solicited by the FBI to try to engage us in violence that would have led to some of us being killed, I really "got" that conspiracies do sometimes happen--paid for by the U.S. government." - Rabbi Michael Lerner, in 9/11 & American Empire Vol. II, Christians, Jews and Muslims Speak Out, draft. (emphasis added)

"When the Communists approached my father as the leader of the tenant's association, his response was to go to the RCMP where he was advised to join the Party and report on its activities... I was to know none of this until many years later. For me my father was a good Communist, an officer in the Party and the regional distributor of the Party weekly... Family pressure finally forced my father's hand. He withdrew from the Party and informed the relatives of the real nature taken by his work there..." - David MacGregor, Canadian Dimension Sept. 1977.

"On 29 March 1971 two RCMP operatives – a man and a woman posing as Canadian journalists – shot Mario Bachand, a prominent 27-year-old FLQ member, in his friend’s Paris apartment (McLoughlin, 1998). The RCMP may have targeted Bachand to inform the FLQ that the game was over. Indeed, following his assassination there were no further FLQ operations. Canadian secret police prepared carefully for the Paris shooting, putting out false news stories about an FLQ rift that centered on Bachand months before agents shot him three times in the head with a silencer-equipped 0.22 pistol. The few scattered remnants of the Quebecois terrorist group likely realized Bachand’s death was a state execution. But left-wing independantistes in Quebec (who shared the FLQ’s aim of a sovereign Quebec, if not its methods) never questioned the official story – the alternative, that Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau’s government brutally murdered a Canadian citizen overseas was not even considered." - David MacGregor, SEPTEMBER 11 AS ‘‘MACHIAVELLIAN STATE TERROR’’, in The Hidden History of 9/11, 2001.

"The Mounties bombed an oil installation as part of a dirty tricks campaign in their investigation into sabotage in the Alberta's oil patch.

The revelation came at the bail hearing Thursday of two farmers who the Crown says have turned their complaints that oil industry pollution is making their families ill into acts of vandalism and mischief.

Their lawyer produced evidence that the RCMP bombed a wellsite and that they did it with the full support of the energy company that owned it. The Crown admits the allegations are true." - CBC News

"Secret intelligence agencies are fatalists to the extent that they regard all large-scale sociological and political changes as inevitable. As soon as they identify a new phenomenon which they have not yet penetrated, their only thought is how to infiltrate their agents and assets into it, so they can steer it or influence it when the time comes. Whenever the leaders of intelligence agencies see a train leaving the station, their only thought is to climb on board, quite irrespective of the destination, as Gen. Paul Albert Scherer, the former head of West Germany’s Military Counter-Intelligence (Militärischer Abschirmdienst) and one of the greatest experts in this field, assured me some years back." - Webster Griffin Tarpley, Synthetic Terrorism, Chapter 2 (emphasis added)

Sometimes the infiltration can be subtle, or overt. In the following example from an anonymous source, the subject is not even sure if it was true infiltration:

The subject and three others decided to protest the banning of an appearance by the "Red Dean" of Canterbury at McGill University, in approximately 1947. A decision was made to pass out fliers to organize a protest rally. People stayed up late mimeo-graphing the fliers, and the subject planned to start passing them out the next day. However, there was a practical monsoon the next day, making the distribution of paper fliers first thing in the morning impossible, so our subject went back to bed.

Nonetheless, later that morning a few police started to turn up around the McGill Student Union (just off campus). As they began to attract a curious crowd, the number of police continued to increase, until there were police on horseback in the street (Sherbrooke, a main artery) and about a thousand milling students. However, subject and friends had sworn silence about the protest, to the extent of not even discussing the event by telephone. The fliers had not been passed out at all. Thus, either someone did talk by telephone or one of the four must have been a mole. There were two Social Democrats, a Communist, and one other, an activist in the Student Christian Movement whose politics were unknown. Was one of them a mole?

The historical record is crystal clear as far as intelligence services and the penetration of the Left. In some cases, organizations that already had radical tendencies were infiltrated and then encouraged to be more radical. In William Pepper's case, he tells us the story of infiltration of the “National Conference for New Politics” in 1967, a movement designed to challenge the political status quo with an anti-war, anti-poverty agenda. Martin Luther King and Dr. Benjamin Spock were to lead this political movement. Pepper describes how agents provacateurs positioned themselves within the nascent party and pushed through highly questionable “unacceptable” resolutions designed to divide the participants.

It worked.
