anyone who was active in the anti-war movement during those years knew what the fuck was going on. we all knew that there were informants or people we could`t trust. we knew that we were being filmed , photographed ,or listening to the click. these people did two things..they exposed what was going on to the public and confirmed what we had a hunch about..the fbi was running deep surveillance on the anti-war movement.

i personally had two encounters with the fbi. i was surprised about what they knew and what they were looking for. i was extremely lucky that the city police chief vouched for me. the second encounter was the local fbi agent made a phone call to my friend about an upcoming a drug raid on a small college.seems a hashish dealer was the son of a diplomat. they were warned and just one person was arrested. yes lots of deals were struck during those years and they are today.
it`s the cost of doing business.
