Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher was handing out this zine at a November 6th press conference held by the St. Paul Police Department and the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office.
Includes the account of the downtown vandalism on Day 1 of the RNC, narrative reference to key RNC Welcoming Committee infiltrator "Panda", and speculation about Sheriff Fletcher's fixation with imaginary urine and feces.
Extract
Before the raids began, an infiltrator (one of three and who went by Panda) had worked his way into a community, found something which his masters thought was a group and began to engineer situations in which he could entrap people. He recommended and encouraged the use of very particular things. He made people trust him and exploited the kindness of others. Someone sent this excuse for a human (and two others) into a community in order to destroy that community. They wanted to stop what was coming to Saint Paul. But they did not know how and the community they attacked was stronger than they anticipated.
[....]
During and after the raid, the police began picking off certain members of the Welcoming Committee. Some of them were snatched right off the street. In one case, an informant hugged the targeted individual in order to identify them to the nearby police. When that person was apprehended, the informant "escaped" and ran to a friendly house. The informant began to cry, moaning about how they had watched their "friend" snatched away from them. This same informant had also called another of their "friends" and kept them on the line long enough for the police to zero in on their cell phone position.
This informant had been in the anarchist "scene" for over two years and had built up a reputation as being an urban explorer. Exploiting the romanticism of this hobby, the infiltrator was able to insinuate themselves into various circles. This informant is now out. The utility of this creature reached an end for his masters. With his aid, the government is now attempting to criminalize all above ground dissent.
But it does not help us when it is acceptable to joke about setting things on fire. Militant posturing will get us nowhere and will only give the government exactly what it needs. Those who choose to carry out certain actions should do so on their own with people they would die for and with. We should never trust those who awe and sway us with their stature in a scene with a vague social hierarchy. These people can capture us in their palms and, just like Panda did with many people, throw us into a cage.
People like him and Sheriff Fletcher seek to destroy all rebellion. It does not fit with their ordered view of the world. Something made Panda look at his "friends" as numbers to be canceled out. Something made Fletcher into an anal retentive, feces obsessed, fascist commander. These people are desperate and scared and willing to do anything. They will create fictions about feces and urine. They will also manipulate people into fitting their idea of a terrorist. The government creates terrorists, very literally. We must never help them. We are not terrorists.
