Undercover policeman reveals how he infiltrated UK’s violent activists
Tony Thompson
The Observer
March 14, 2010For four years, Officer A lived a secret life among anti-racist activists as they fought brutal battles with the police and the BNP. Here he tells of the terrifying life he led, the psychological burden it placed on him and his growing fears that the work of his unit could threaten legitimate protest.
The “violent activists” Officer A infiltrated were the ‘Youth Against Racism in Europe’, a front group for the Trotskyist political party now known as the Socialist Party of England & Wales (a member of the Committee for a Workers’ international). They’ve responded to the story with a press release: Youth Against Racism in Europe answers disgraceful Observer ‘expose’, March 14, 2010. They don’t identify Officer A.

Tony Thompson writes that “During his tour of duty, the man – known only as Officer A – also had sexual relations with at least two of his female targets as a way of obtaining intelligence” — which is very naughty, but also naturally brings to mind Rob Gilchrist, the police informant exposed as such in Kiwi in late 2008. Gilchrist had a decade-long career as a paid informant, but was only exposed when his then-girlfriend (a political activist) happened to stumbleupon some information on his computer. In Australia, Setha Sann deserves a guernsey, as does Mehmet Ersoy/Osman. Funnily enough, despite claiming that in Europe, anarchist ranks “have been riddled by police agents and fascists”, Mick Armstrong failed to detect Setha Sann’s tricksy ways while a member of Socialist Alternative, although the possibility that this stick will be used by the International Students for Socialist Equality to beat SAlt over the head with is unlikely. To find out, attend ‘The revolutionary perspective of Trotskyism: A political exposure of Socialist Alternative’ [Clenched fist salute: Fatal Paradox].
Use of police infiltrators and informants is of course routine practice, and has been employed by police forces, in one form or another, since their origins (See : The International Campaign Against Anarchist Terrorism, 1880-1930s (Richard Bach Jensen) | Frank Cain’s The Origins of Political Surveillance in Australia (Angus & Robertson, 1983)). Indeed, some of the greatest works of late nineteenth century fiction were written by former police detectives. For example, Captain Michael Schaack‘s Anarchy and Anarchists (1889) is a priceless document, and has formed the basis for tabloid accounts of anarchist activity ever since:
In many of the smaller [anarchist] meetings held on Milwaukee Avenue or in that vicinity, a lot of crazy women were usually present, and whenever a proposition arose to kill some one or to blow up the city with dynamite. these “squaws” proved the most bloodthirsty. In fact, if any man laid out a plan to perpetrate mischief, they would show themselves much more eager to carry it out than the men, and it always seemed a pleasure to the Anarchists to have them present. They were always invited to the “war dances.”
Judge Gary, Mr. Grinnell, Mr. Bonfield and myself were usually remembered at these gatherings, and they fairly went wild whenever bloodthirsty sentiments were uttered against us. The reporters and the so-called capitalistic press also shared in the general denunciations.
At one meeting, held on North Halsted Street, there were thirteen of these creatures in petticoats present, the most hideous-looking females that could possibly be found. If a reward of money had been offered for an uglier set, no one could have profited upon the collection. Some of them were pockmarked, others freckle-faced and red-haired, and others again held their snuff-boxes in their hands while the congress was in session. One female appeared at one of these meetings with her husband’s boots on, and there was another one about six feet tall. She was a beauty. She was raw-boned, had a turn-up nose, and looked as though she might have carried the red flag in Paris during the reign of the Commune…
[Describing another anarchist:] He was a large man with a black beard and large eyes, and very shabbily dressed. He looked as though he had been driving a coal cart for a year without washing or combing. He also had the appearance of being on the verge of hydrophobia…
Bonus! Leader of 40 Kiwi Anarchists Revealed!
In a sensational and completely unexpected twist, the leader of The-40-Kiwi-Anarchists What-Have-Been-Criss-Crossing-The-Globe Causing-Heap-‘Em-Big-Trouble-Wherever-They-Go has been inadvertently exposed by social networking site Facebook and the journalistic efforts of Fairfax’s Europe correspondent Paola Totaro. According to sources at Fairfax, Totaro’s exposé on the eerie yoof cult that has developed around the mysterious dog — whose followers have formed inside the Global Justice Movement an anarchist faction with himself as leader — will be published later in the week.
Don’t forget this:
Ah yes @ndy you fraud. What about your connection with State Security. You are the expert so you have claimed. What about your partners in crime who once bragged about working with NSW Vic and WA State Police.
Glad WLT tipped you off with this story. What’s wrong mate no one talking to you?
G’day Jim,
What about my connection with State Security? As you and I both know, I report to ZOG via a rabbi in Elsternwick, not a policeman in Prahran. Alack and alas, I was born with a plastic spoon full of baked lemon cheesecake in my mouth, and that’s an addiction that’s notoriously hard to kick. As for my partners-in-crime, feel free to elaborate; the story about the undercover in YARE, otoh, is pinging its way around the web on all sortsa lists, so no points there I’m afraid.
Who let the dogs out?
So you are saying that your friends at FDB have never claimed to be working with the State Police. Be very careful @ndy you know we have the proof at WLT.
I’m happy to acknowledge the fact, in 2005, for example, the following was reported:
Avoiding answering the question only proves that you are indeed a State Sponsored asset.
Yes Jim. It also proves that I’m a gallery owner from St Kilda, that Dr James Saleam is of Greek descent, and that the Shoah never happened.
That’s alright I have all I need for now.
I’m sure that as long as you remember to keep wearing your tinfoil helmet, everything will be just fine Jim.
Andy, it is okay if you are. Even we at WLT have gotten into bed (figuratively and literally) with Leb ASIO informants – we are not judging you!
Why is there no mention of issues that affect whites on this blog? You call yourself an anti-racist, why no mention of that?
I am sick of the left never giving us a voice, we are affected by certain things every bit as much as non-whites.

There is.

The left is as the left does. If you wish to express yourself, you’re free to do so. You’re collapsing the distinction between left and right and white and non-white.
How old are you?
The Riot Dog facebook page really made my day. There are some classic photos of him and he seems to be getting right into it. Sadly, someone has said that he is no longer with us. I would suggest he has gone to the big kennel in the sky but he was probably an atheist.
Yeah.
Word on the street is that the only page hotter is…
Andy Fleming is a fan of

i am sick and tired from western retards: pedophiles (also known as “gays”) and “rebel teens” which associate “social democracy” with anti-racism… while in Germany most Social Democrats as me (i am in E.Europe): posse daily as Ultra-liberals, while beheading teen negro students at night.. it’s sooo beautiful!

GayAntifaMuzzie,
You are very silly.

@ndy: i don’t want to spread it, but confidentially… you are gay.
Can i ask you something? why you embraced ANTIFA prop[a]ganda for racial equality, peace and tolerance… do yo[u] even realize how great is to murder entire black famil[i]es? i mean… are you human being, NATURAL human being with basic sense for survival, or not? i know that my question is rhetorical. i always wonder – “why people eat meat”, “why people don’t enjoy to watch screaming black babies bathing in napalm”, “why people torture animals instead of filthy niggers/sub-humans”… the answers is, cuz people are SILLY!
tell me “andy”: where is the “ANARCHY” (which mean chaos btw) in PREACHING Tolerance and Capitali[s]m (you know… “together and equall as some kind of cheesy Disney Cartoon”)? where is the VIOLENCE in YOUR “anarchy”… srsly dude, can you kill people? can you enjoy torturing them…
“andy” here one last question: what you will do after the REVOLUTION starting in Eastern Europe and Spreading in Central? i know that you are in Australia, but c’mon start readin some newspapers faggot! People as you andy have place… it’s called OVENS! for negroes, is not that simple… they will become meat-product, pigs for slaughtering etc etc
Revolution is comming and Nuclear Holocaust after that!
German Workers Party did NOT won with democracy but via VIOLENCE and TERRORISM!
look the talibans – their ideology (islamism) keep them ag[g]ressive and enough powerfull to kill invading american mercenaries. so just imgaine the wonders of propaganda and indoctrination… people in nazi germany with such “brainwashing” voted “yes” to Death Camps for jews/sub-humans/negroes
coprorate right-wing HIPPIES (you are hippies and innocent/harmless assgivers!) are no threat for NS/WP
G’day GayAntifaMuzzie,
Thanks for making your last post.
Am I gay? According to the lead shouter in local punk band The Worst yes, I am. But then, so too are all anarchists.
A pink and black bloc must haunt his and your dreams.
I’m not quite sure what particular mental pathology possesses you or compels you to post nonsense on my blog, or in response to this post in particular, but you obviously need a doctor, not discussion. In any event, I suggest you join KinkyBoy @ neo-Nazi and Australia First Party member Jim Perren’s blog ‘Whitelaw Towers’. There you will be able to rant and rave to your heart’s content.
Big fat girly antifa hugs ‘n’ kisses,
@ndy.
Dear @ndy,
Upon reflection, I do believe you’re right, I am very silly, you have my apologies, and henceforth I will save my commentary for my doctor.
Sincerely,
Silly Bulgarian.
Apology accepted. I sincerely hope that your doctor is able to help you.
