INFORMANTS PERMITTED TO COMMIT CRIMES
Under de facto U.S. Department of Justice guidelines, confidential informants are sometimes permitted to engage in limited “otherwise illegal activity” under supervision and authorization rules, but there are restrictions and approval procedures. Unauthorized criminal conduct is not officially permitted, although oversight reports acknowledge that informants have at times committed crimes during investigations.
See the PDF below titled: "CONFIDENTIAL INFORMANTS, September 2015" issued by the de facto U.S. Government Accountability Office.
TACTICS USED BY INFORMANTS
The below tactics historically used to discredit Moorish-Americans & Moorish civic organizations are:
- Infiltration by informants — placing insiders in meetings, temples, study groups, or leadership circles to report activity and influence internal trust. The FBI has a public file collection on the Moorish Science Temple of America, Inc.
- Rumor-spreading and “bad-jacketing” — making members suspect one another of being agents, thieves, traitors, or immoral actors, causing fear and division.
- Provocation — encouraging reckless, criminal, or confrontational acts so the group can later be portrayed as dangerous.
- Media framing — feeding or shaping negative stories to make the organization appear fraudulent, violent, unstable, or extremist.
- Leadership targeting — focusing on respected leaders to prevent them from gaining legitimacy or public sympathy; COINTELPRO records described goals to “discredit” Black nationalist leaders and stop them from gaining respectability.
- Anonymous letters and forged communications — sending fake letters, messages, or accusations to create disputes between members or allied organizations.
- Legal harassment — repeated arrests, investigations, subpoenas, surveillance, or prosecutions that make the group appear criminal even before anything is proven.
- Public association tactics — linking Moorish identity broadly with “sovereign citizen,” “extremist,” or “anti-government” labels so the public treats all Moorish activity as suspicious. Modern analysts and law-enforcement sources often place some Moorish-identified groups in that category.
The tactics are usually infiltrate, provoke, divide, smear, criminalize, and isolate.
The term "Ghetto Informant Program" (GIP) is also frequently discussed in some activist, community, and alternative-media circles as a practice of recruiting informants from within Moorish and so-called "Black" communities, gangs, religious organizations, political groups, and neighborhood networks.
