It smelled like a barn there when it was going on. No plan whatsoever to deal with hygiene. I talked to them a few times and listened. They couldn't even set up a basic organization structure or even agree to decorum in voting like Robert's Rules. Plus they couldn't stay on message. I spoke to a person who identified themselves as a spokesperson who continued to say over and over again "I can't speak for others about that".

You don't need to invent a plan by the CIA to destroy that. It is like every single idea of how to organize a protest was thrown out the window and replaced with well nothing.

COINTELPRO was an FBI thing (not CIA), but never mind that. Maybe the problem was that they were scared of such infiltration, and over-corrected by trying not to have any hierarchy at all.
