Documents reveal FBI treated occupy movement as domestic terrorism, considered using snipers to take out leaders

Protesting is one thing...looting & burning is another.

OWS are VERMIN

But it is important to remember that they did not fire at the protestors.

Simply being in position to strike if needed is good police work. It is why you have armed Policemen walking around the county fair, or in your parks. It is simple protection.

If they were not there it would have been shirking their duty.

Now if this thread were about "people all over the country disappearing into the night and never being heard from again" or roundups of these dirty filthy street hoards taking place, then perhaps (perhaps) that would be alarming.

But simply being in place to provide protection IF these terrorists ramped things up seems like good Police protection to me.

It was very effective when it started. Then, it got infiltrated. Turned weird very quick afterwards. I would say right after the large demonstration in NYC.

this isn't anything new ... the fbi was tracking and infiltrating the anti-war movement in the 60s and many other groups in that era and before and after ... this is standard operating procedure for the fbi ...

and it's already gotten worse when they have restricted 'legal' demonstrations at the national conventions to 'protest areas', fenced off areas out of sight or ear shot of the media ... or when the wto was in seattle and the city made wearing any anti-wto buttons, etc, a crime and arrested people on that basis ...

since when wasn't nearly every square foot of this country a legal protest area? and now they can just make up silly laws so they can arrest people?

next thing you know they'll make laws to arrest those radicals wearing dungarees :P

sickening isnt it?

Though the FBI observed that the Occupy movement planned to protest peacefully, the bureau passed information about demonstrations to the New York Stock Exchange (NYX), Zions Bank (ZION) and the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, according to documents published Saturday by the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund, a nonprofit group that obtained the files under the Freedom of Information Act.

So when those instituitions were doing illegal damaging things targeting u.s. citizens, when did they have a conference with us about it? when did that happen?

thats corruption, all about the almighty dollar

Gimme a break OP ... peaceful protesters. OWS leadership are the same punks that smash up whatever city G8-G20 meetings are in. You know it, and the cops know it.

These malignant pukes should be in jail for the shite they pull.

There are global patterns here. Occupy was an international movement, and the supression of, and violence shown towards, protestors is not contained within borders.



Thanks for sharing all the info OP!

agreed let these punks rot in jail for showing that they have had enough with this corrupt system. ill just bend over next time i go to d.c

I love how if this had been a story about the FBI planning to assassinate prominent Tea Party leaders, GLPers would be in full-on 'revolutionary doom' mode. Tinfoil hats would be in place, guns would be locked and loaded, quotes about watering the tree of liberty would pervade the air.

But, since it's about OWS, all we get are mostly comments expressing agreement and support of the FBI, because, you know, OWS are domestic terrorists or something and WOOHOO kill those sons-of-bitches!

What fucking bizarro GLP have I wandered into where posters root for the bad guys like this?

Goes to show that 99% of GLPers are more concerned with superficial political differences (OWS are all leftists, therefore it's cool if the FBI takes down a few of them) than any real big picture (the government assassinating citizens of any political affiliation is not cool).

Nobody here is awake, despite claims to the contrary. Not really.

i guess im the 1% this time

Mixed in with the normal, harmless citizens exercising their rights to protest were known anarchists many of whom have associations with groups that hate the U.S. and have vowed to see this country destroyed. The police have a responsibility to look into that .

and to assasinate them with silenced sniper rifles. Are you fucking crazy? Americans get arrested and a lawyer, and a trial!! Not a bullet in their head while giving a public speech !!!!!

This is the most useful, rational FBI decision I've ever read.

Of course, they were over-ruled by the Occupier in Chief.

Typical anti-capitalist, anti-American libtardism.

Come on FBI, it isn't too late...

To be honest, this story sounds like a psyop.

The Obama regime would never assassinate its loudest and smelliest supporters, ie Occupy.

Occupy was promoting the overthrow of the US constitution and stephen learner was promoting the use of financial terrorism, so ya they are a terrorist group. But they should be arrested under rico charges with their financiers.

The real terrorists are in London and DC. Hurry and catch up. The world has left you far behind.

Let me spell it out for you.

Obama supported occupy along with the unions who bought dc and their communist affiliations. London is the old world order order, they have no control over the imf or un. Those groups are directly or indirectly funding or providing support to occupy along with radical islamist countries.

You must be a commi to be so ignorant.

and it's also run by the same group the wanted to kill 25,000,000 Americans in the sixties

just look up

OPERATION NORTHWOODS and
OPERATION COINTELPRO


the Joooooos want to destroy us gentiles

OP is simply too stupid to do any real research on what Occupy was and who organized it.

Feeble minded fools who are really just capable of thinking about themselves. They don't get the scary message is also for them. In reality their types aren't welcome in many camps and deep down they know it. So surviving for them means licking a boot.

I don't give a fuck whose team you THINK your on, the fact that it isn't revolting that some motherfucker may be sighting you out when you are acting within your rights is telling and it's telling them that you're done...cooked...put down.

Scare tactics anyway fellow plebs. Imagine the response if a protester was taken out by some sniping bitch in the f.b.i.(Hi bitches!). That is one match they really don't want to light. Not at this point in time. If more U.S. males go ghey like these chumps who can't see through the smoke, well then, we'll start clearing rooftops.

What a bunch of pussy's.They need to quit sneaking around as fuckin' nuns and step up to plate guns blazing with those bulletproof vest that say"FBI" or whatever so we can all just playball.Fuckin' cowards.
