Peaceful protesters have caught on video and thwarted attempts by “provocateur” officers to incite violence at a 2007 demonstration in Montebello, Canada.  Video shows three men with faces masked by bandannas attempting to mingle with protesters while one held a rock in his hand, and after being confronted and exposed by peaceful protesters the men were “arrested” by officers who have been shown to be associated with them.

“Provocateur agents” were caught attempting to incite violence at a peaceful Quebec demonstration

Boots give away undercover cops as real protesters expose criminality

Peaceful protestors at the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) summit in Montebello have captured sensational video of hired agent provocateurs attempting to incite rioting and turn the protest violent, only to encounter brave resistance from real protest leaders.

A video, posted on YouTube, shows three young men, their faces masked by bandannas, mingling Monday with protesters in front of a line of police in riot gear.  At least one of the masked men is holding a rock in his hand, reports the Canadian Press.



Notice how the “anarchists” begin to become uncomfortable when Coles and others accuse them of really being cops, while pulling at their face masks.  They are seen to edge closer to the uniformed police and engage in some form of discussion.  The police then let them pass through their line with very little resistance and “arrest” them in what is plainly a total charade.


More damning proof that the radicals were in fact cops was revealed with the release of photographs of the incident which show that the anarchists have exactly the same footwear on as the cops.

On the soles of their boots are yellow triangles, exactly the same as on the boots of a police officer kneeling beside the men.

While some have said the marks could represent Canadian Safety Industry seals, it seems very coincidental when placed in context with the way the rioters were “subdued.”

To compound the evidence, police have stated that only 4 protestors in total have been arrested and charged, two of them being women.  Veteran protest organizers have confirmed the identity of the four as genuine protesters.

So what happened to the rock wielding anarchists?

The few radical protestors at the summit have provided police with the pretext to use rubber bullets, tear gas and pepper spray on peaceful protestors.

Neither the RCMP nor the Surete du Quebec would comment on the video or even discuss generally whether they ever use the tactic of employing agents provocateurs, however it has been common practice at previous protests for authorities to employ police or special forces to intentionally infiltrate peaceful protests and cause violence.

In Seattle in 1999 at the World Trade Organization meeting, the authorities declared a state of emergency, imposed curfews and resorted to nothing short of police state tactics in response to a small minority of hostile black bloc hooligans.  In his film Police State 2, Alex Jones covered the fact that the police allowed the black bloc to run riot in downtown Seattle while they concentrated on preventing the movement of peaceful protestors.  The film presents evidence that the left-wing anarchist groups are actually controlled by the state and used to demonize peaceful protesters.

At WTO protests in Genoa 2001 a protestor was killed after being shot in the head and run over twice by a police vehicle.  The Italian Carabinere also later beat on peaceful protestors as they slept, and even tortured some, at the Diaz School.  It later emerged that the police fabricated evidence against the protesters, claiming they were anarchist rioters, to justify their actions.  Some Carabiniere officials have since come forward to say they knew of infiltration of the black bloc anarchists, that fellow officers acted as agent provocateurs.

At the Free Trade Area of Americas protests in Miami in late November 2003, more provocateuring was evident.  The United Steelworkers of America, calling for a congressional investigation, stated that the police intentionally caused violence and arrested and charged hundreds of peaceful protestors.  The USWA suggested that billions of dollars supposedly slated for Iraq reconstruction funds are actually being used to subsidize ‘homeland repression’ in America.

Canadian Prime Minister Harper’s description of protestors at the SPP summit as “sad” along with President Bush’s latest comments that critics of the SPP are peddling conspiracy theories, in spite of the fact that heads of unions, law experts and House Representatives are deeply concerned over the program’s agenda, are indications of how much of a threat they see peaceful protesters and outspoken critics to be.

The globalist elite have demonstratively used provocateuring to demonize all demonstrators attempting to expose their criminality, the SPP summit is the latest in a long list of examples.
