I have one simple question for the publishers of Montreal Counter-Info:

"Do you know who wrote the hit piece?

I’m not asking you to reveal their identities. They have a right to their privacy. I’m simply asking if you can confidently assert that they are not spooks. I think this is a fair question, don’t you?

Or do you think that COINTELPRO tactics are just another crazy conspiracy theory?

I'm not here to pick your nit, but that's three. Now I'm going back to read the rest of your post. ;-)

The answer to your question "why..." is, very likely, because it pays well. Or it pays enough. I'm reminded of the first Ghostbusters film. The secretary asks the applicant if he believes a long list of things such as the Loch Ness monster and the theory of Atlantis. The applicant asserts that he'll believe whatever they want as long as there's a pay cheque in it. Funny moment in the film, which came out well before the 1987 stock market crash inspired Alan Greenspan to begin with "the Fed put." Serious issue tho

I'm not aware of any of the people you name. I have no idea if they sold their souls for a pot of message. But it may be the simplest explanation. Many people are more avaricious than they are good.
