The Honey Trap
The Intercept ^ | March 21, 2023 | Trevor Aaronson

Posted on 03/23/2023 2:36:59 PM PDT by Twotone

The young woman with long pink hair claimed to be from Washington state. One day during the summer of 2020, she walked into the Chinook Center, a community space for left-wing activists in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and offered to volunteer.

“She dressed in a way that was sort of noticeable,” said Samantha Christiansen, a co-founder of the Chinook Center. But no one among the activists found that unusual or alarming; everyone has their own style. They accepted her into the community.

The pink-haired woman said her name was Chelsie. She also dropped regular hints about her chosen profession.

“She implied over the course of getting to know her that she was a sex worker,” said Jon Christiansen, Samantha’s husband and another co-founder of the Chinook Center.

“I think somebody else had told me that, and I just was like, ‘Oh, OK. That makes sense,’” said Autum Carter-Wallace, an activist in Colorado Springs. “I never questioned it.”

But Chelsie’s identity was as fake as her long pink hair. The young woman, whose real name is April Rogers, is a detective at the Colorado Springs Police Department. The FBI enlisted her to infiltrate and spy on racial justice groups during the summer of 2020.

The work of Rogers, or “Chelsie,” is a direct offshoot of the FBI’s summer of 2020 investigation in Denver, where Mickey Windecker, a paid FBI informant, drove a silver hearse, rose to a leadership role in the racial justice movement, and encouraged activists to become violent. Windecker provided information to the FBI about an activist who attended demonstrations in both Denver and Colorado Springs, prompting federal agents to launch a new investigation in the smaller Colorado city. I tell the story of Windecker and his FBI work, as well as the investigation in Colorado Springs, in “Alphabet Boys”...

So, Trevor Aaronson, do you feel good about yourself for doxxing someone?

LOL! How can you “doxx” a cop when their identity and testimony is already part of the public record?

The same way you do by publishing the phone number and addresses of reporters.

Without the FIB would there be any crime? The world may never know.

Did someone publish the address and phone number of the cop? All I see is her name, which was surely already a matter of court record if she testified against any of the people she went undercover to bust.

And the address and phone number of reporters are also part of the public record. What is you point?

I read the article. A propaganda piece about how peaceful and lovable the violent "racial justice protestors" were. Completely one-sided.

Those who push for "racial justice" are working very hard to tear down society. "Racial justice" is a euphemism for anarchy and communism. It has very little to do with either racism or justice.

The FBI infiltrated the Left in 2020 again I sense connection with Antifa presence at the US Capitol on January 6th, 2021.

Thank you for reading the article and reporting your thoughts. I ... just ....couldn’t.

I suspected it was more leftist propaganda, but thought it was more of a, “the FBI doesn’t just infiltrate rabid right wingers,” piece.

So, thank you for helping me see another point of view of the propaganda being pushed on us 24/7.

We got a police state that spies on people and rounds them up if they are considered ‘extremists’ with manufactured crimes.

January 6th the leading example of this.

My point is that publishing info that’s already in the public record isn’t really “doxxing”, as the poster I was responding to seemed to be claiming.

A great many 'extremists' are exempt, as seen in the hundreds of violent demonstrations in 2020 where most leftists were *not* prosecuted.

People who believe in the Constitution and the rule of law are being prosecuted.

Depending on who’s in power that can happen.

George W. Bush created a Department of Homeland Security structure then Obama got it and the die was cast for what could happen and did happen on January 6th, 2021.

The post 9/11 police state structure in this country is wrong and needs to go.

The FBI and DHS must be dismantled.
