“One of my former friends disappeared, and it became very obvious to us that she was a police officer...I cried on her shoulder and had lots of close conversations with her before realizing that her job was to manipulate people into giving information, and to create social profiles on us...It was really upsetting and infuriating, and I remember feeling isolated and not able to trust people...That is part of the point of infiltration - creating this sort of fear and paralysis.”
- Joshua Gilbert, a house painter involved with anarchist organizing in Guelph, Ontario
