Wanted to thank SRP for this piece.
While the whole CA thing has created way too much crapola within the "conspiracy scene" I do think the basic idea / catch-phrase is useful, as demonstrated by SRP, as a phrase describing the use of players for certain roles that might benefit this or that covert-op / psyop, etc. Not talking about whole events being staged but rather the control of a particular narrative by the key placement of certain "bad actors".
I think I touched on that in a previous CA thread...

I think I should be a casting director because I often see famous people in others faces and think to myself, "hey, that guy looks a lot like Harrison Ford - if someone wants their lead actor to look like Harrison, he's there guy - never mind if they can act."
As with most deep state / parapolitical research, I want to see a proven track record of a tactic's use (preferably with a paper trail and multiple witnesses supporting said tactic) before I begin alleging or speculating on said tactic's use elsewhere.
Perhaps the first "crisis actors" were troops dressed in the uniforms of their enemies performing a covert-op meant to be observed witnesses in order to facilitate the most basic and infamous conspiracy tactic: The False Flag / Counterfeit Foe.
Or perhaps its as simple a tactic as the classic frame-up device using a "planted witness".
But in those cases it would seem that most of those "bad actors" are either believers in the cause (soldiers / mercs) or being manipulated into the role (snitches kept out of legal trouble by doing LEOs a favor and/or blackmailed into a role and urged to keep quiet under threat of death or revelations).
But the way this modern idea of "crisis acting" is employed ... I don't believe any of these people are likely to go-along with such scenarios for any length of time; for what cause ... "heightened security" ... or are they all being blackmailed into it?
And other people involved in the local news outlet would likely catch-on methinks. Camera people, reporters, office-gophers, etc. and someone would talk as they aren't likely "in on it."
While I might be able to imagine a circumstance where such an actor might be necessary to a particular covert-op, so far I've not seen an example from the Crisis Actor Crowd-Sourcing Conspiracy Community that would actually indicate a need for their performances.
Now, all those military interventionist pundits on all the msm news shows ... there are some real freakin crisis actors.
Meanwhile, yeah like you said Nordic, we have a growing crowd of knuckle-heads clouding these issues by playing a SEPARATED AT BIRTH lookalike game with anybody and everybody, furthering the post-911, post-Matrix, post-PKD simulacra surreality mindset.

But for now I wanna throw down here some links / notes:
* - Rational Wiki's entry for the term says "Although "crisis actors" are a real thing used for disaster drills,[1] and there are real companies that supply them,[2]"
http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Crisis_actor* - ... the two citations they give have been discussed here I believe but the allegedly "real" Crisis Actors company website is now apparently offline but may still be accessed via archive.org's cache (late 2012 being their apparent first crawl of the site):

http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q= ... 20actor%22* - I think we can all agree that, whether or not that particular "Crisis Actor" website was real, the countless continual training exercises and drills, especially the "active shooter drills" prevalent at schools etc. absolutely employ both paid and volunteer people to play act various roles for those training exercises. Below are just a few that come to mind...

Urban Shield has worked with Strategic Operations, a Hollywood effects company that also helps prepare army medics for the battlefield. (Their disaster scenario staff, Baker says, include an amputee.) With a generous helping of moulage, their drills aim to force officials to confront both the logistical and atmospheric challenges of a disaster.
