FBI Document(DELETED) Plots To Kill Occupy Leaders If Deemed Necessary
By Dave Lindorff
June 27, 2013 WhoWhatWhy.org
Would you be shocked to learn that the FBI apparently knew that some organization, perhaps even a law enforcement agency or private security outfit, had contingency plans to assassinate peaceful protestors in a major American city and did nothing to intervene?
Would you be surprised to learn that this intelligence comes not from a shadowy whistle-blower but from the FBI itself specifically, from a document obtained from Houston FBI office last December, as part of a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed by the Washington, DC-based Partnership for Civil Justice Fund?
To repeat: this comes from the FBI itself. The question, then, is: What did the FBI do about it?
The Plot
Remember the Occupy Movement? The peaceful crowds that camped out in the center of a number of cities in the fall of 2011, calling for some recognition by local, state and federal authorities that our democratic system was out of whack, controlled by corporate interests, and in need of immediate repair?
That movement swept the US beginning in mid-September 2011. When, in early October, the movement came to Houston, Texas, law enforcement officials and the citys banking and oil industry executives freaked out perhaps even more so than they did in some other cities. The push-back took the form of violent assaults by police on Occupy activists, federal and local surveillance of people seen as organizers, infiltration by police provocateursand, as crazy as it sounds, some kind of plot to assassinate the leaders of this non-violent and leaderless movement.

Secret Police. Secret Spying. Secret Laws. Secret Detentions. Secret Executions...I'd say "Be On the Look-Out" but that's getting too dramatic.

Incomprehensible. If I didn't know otherwise I'd say he's part of a combat unit in Afghanistan.

If Chicago is in such dire need of policing, then why aren't the riot police in Chicago?

No jurisdiction? Then why would anyone bring up Chicago as a comparison?

Men literally get *aroused* by guns? Thought it was a joke. Imminent death should be a turn off.

Their bosses, the people who offer us life on their plantation, and kill more people...are scarier.
