1. Well, DUH...

They werent 100% white, some smoked weed, they were unarmed and they called for various changes like stopping foreclosures on families and holding banks accountable.

You can't even get FBI or Homeland Security to make a statement on Bundy ranch (a rich white land moocher) but they were all over occupy

2. truther counterpunch crackpot Lindorff LOL

Where the fart left meets the far right....

[HomerRamone]

5. That settles it. Nothing here is true

[bvar22]

10. Of course.... Attack the Messenger.

Predictable and Boring.

Lets take a look:

"Drawing on classified FBI and Homeland Security documents obtained by the Partnership for Civil Justice through the Freedom of Information Act, Lindorff tells Radio Occupy host Kathy Swift how the Homeland Security Department under the Obama administration coordinated the national crackdown that crushed the Occupy Movement,..."

That seems to be the relevant piece of information.
I would like to see some corroboration and the documents themselves.

We've KNOWN for a while that the suppression of the peaceful OWS movement was nationally coordinated.
I'm glad to see that there is further digging for documentation and Proof.

11. lol. Not sure if this is funny or pathetic.

[Throd]

12. It's funny because it's pathetic.

[onenote]

13. Could you please provide links to the actual documents releaved via FOIA?

Or are you just relying on the unsubstantiated claim that those documents support the allegation in described in the OP?

[1StrongBlackMan]

20. Yeah ...

that would be helpful in assessing the veracity of this claim.

This interview provides some pretty specific claims (e.g., suppressed sniper fire) ... the documents will either support the claim or prove it a figure of someone's imagination.

[snooper2]

18. you going to respond to post #13?

[tritsofme]

3. If you believe this nonsense.

You have a very casual relationship with reality.

[okaawhatever]

6. +10,000 nt

[mopinko]

4. that's a pretty serious accusation.

and totally blurs together the coordinated crackdown on occupy together with this.

honestly, the thing i am most suspicious of is that they would turn over such docs on a foia.

[seveneyes]

7. No, the Feds are not that sloppy

This is some triple 000 gauge tinfoil material.

[MohRokTah]

8. Somebody tell Lindorff the tinfoil actually ATTRACTS The mind control rays. eom

[Adrahil]

9. I'd like to see the actual evidence for this.... NT

14. More from the Partnership for Civil Justice

The Crackdown on the Occupy Movement

<snip>

"FBI documents revealed that from its inception, the FBI treated the Occupy movement as a potential criminal and terrorist threat even though the agency acknowledges in documents that organizers explicitly called for peaceful protest and did “not condone the use of violence” at Occupy protests.

FBI offices and agents around the country were in high gear conducting surveillance against the movement even as early as August 2011, a month prior to the establishment of the OWS encampment in Zuccotti Park and other Occupy actions around the country.

Separate government documents obtained by the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund (PCJF) showed that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), an agency created after the September 11 attacks under the rubric of combating terrorism, conducts daily monitoring of peaceful, lawful protests as a matter of policy.

Functioning as a secret political police force against people participating in lawful, peaceful free speech activity, the heavily redacted documents show that the DHS “Threat Management Division” directed Regional Intelligence Analysts to provide a “Daily Intelligence Briefing” that includes a category of reporting on “Peaceful Activist Demonstrations” along with “Domestic Terrorist Activity"

15. void of anything substantial, this is little more than a conspiracy theory

There are certain things the FOIA doesn't cover, like Inter or intra-agency communications protected under law and certain information regarding law enforcement.

[azureblue]

17. Did you follw the links and read

the source material? Did you try to track down the source material outside of the links? Of course you didn't... What- your mama had to spoon feed you, too?

[hack89]

19. I did. Lots of info on surveillance. None on assassinations.

perhaps you could simply cut and paste the pertinent sections since you know exactly where they are?

[1StrongBlackMan]

24. While I'll admit ...

I didn't read all 1,000+ pages; but the 300+ pages I read were, as you mentioned, about surveillance (and not even operational coordination, let alone ... assassinations.

But it would/should strain credulity of even the must cynical of skeptics, that the government would turn over documents even suggesting that they were/intended to engage in a domestic assassinations program.

[wyldwolf]

22. of course I did. But call me old fashioned

When a source makes a claim, I fully expect them to prove it. This source did not.

[azureblue]

16. now if they would

just crack down on the Bundy - ites like they did on Occupy......

BTW - I love the trolls here- they are so cute when they hurl their smear attacks... And so silent when refuted and called out.

[wyldwolf]

23. you're calling longtime DUers trolls? And no one has been silent when "refuted and called out." LOL.

[GoneFishin]

26. I smell troll. Questioning the documentation, no problem. But leaping straight to personal

attacks stinks like trolls with an agenda of derailing any discussion of the injustices Occupy is fighting.

[Cryptoad]

21. Was Comrade Snowden there, too? nt

[wyldwolf]

25. Hey mods, doesn't this thread belong in 'Creative Speculation?"

[nadinbrzezinski]

28. No, unless you want to hide your head in the sand

[gcomeau]

27. Yeah... I'm calling bullshit...

...until they present the documents.

[maddezmom]

29. Exactly

Sounds like Alex Jones nonsense, IMO.
