It's a bit sad, and pathetic how this thing is so badly trying to keep the Occ-u-pie movement alive. Through typing, at that.

FBI Documents Reveal Secret Nationwide Occupy Monitoring

FBI documents just obtained by the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund (PCJF) pursuant to the PCJF’s Freedom of Information Act demands reveal 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.
The PCJF has obtained heavily redacted documents showing that 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.
“This production, which we believe is just the tip of the iceberg, is a window into the nationwide scope of the FBI’s surveillance, monitoring, and reporting on peaceful protestors organizing with the Occupy movement,†stated Mara Verheyden-Hilliard, Executive Director of the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund (PCJF). “These documents show that the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security are treating protests against the corporate and banking structure of America as potential criminal and terrorist activity. These documents also show these federal agencies functioning as a de facto intelligence arm of Wall Street and Corporate America.â€
“The documents are heavily redacted, and it is clear from the production that the FBI is withholding far more material. We are filing an appeal challenging this response and demanding full disclosure to the public of the records of this operation,†stated Heather Benno, staff attorney with the PCJF.

Firstly, I didn't even know there was an "Occupy Underground," but that may be valuble info for a certain moderator if certain said moderator didn't know about this site before. Maybe it's yet another source for our entertainment, and joy.
Secondly, when this little bowel movement stops cargo ships at ports (who are only trying to get various goods to you ungrateful stains on the wall that is life) firebombs places, breaks windows out of businesses, shits on cop cars...yeah...they're right to classify you bastards as terrorists. You people are certainly a criminal threat. Happily, you are fading away. It's the Union thugs that have surpassed you in being the major problem. How does that make you feel, FWWM? The fact that they recognize that they recognize that the organizers "didn't condone violence" (horse pucky) doesn't mean diddly squat. Your "mevement" is/was a bunch of whiney, flea ridden, domestic terrorists, and now, it's basically dead. Deal with it.
PS: Try next year. Actually try. I thought you had potential when you made the Top DUmmie list last year. You didn't even make Top 20. I'm very disappointed. You weren't even nominated, I don't think. How far you've fallen...

And one notices the Leopudlian reporter apparently had a hand in this story.....

I'd be suprised if it was revealed that the FBI wasn't monitoring those scumbags.

Jason Leopold is a heroin addict who worked with Pitt to reveal the miracle of Fitzmas.

Sorry; I thought you'd get it.
Jason Leopold, who collaborated with the Bostonian Drunkard on the story of Fitzmas, the non-indictment of Karl Rove on May 12, 2006.

Leopold said that there was a Santa Claus and that he frogmarching Rove in 24 business hours.

I still think it's unfair to blame the Leopudlian reporter, though.
He wrote the story, yes, but the Bostonian Drunkard was his editor.
The Leopudlian journalist didn't have the power to either run or kill the story; only the Bostonian Drunkard did.
And the Bostonian Drunkard ran with it.
The onus belongs on the one where the buck stops.

Ah. I know the story of Fitzmas, and the mass hilarity, and problems for the Primitives it caused. I had just forgotten who Jason Leopold was. I need to keep that in the memory bank from now on. :thatsright:

Oh, but we all forget things.
I'm working on top primitive #07 at the moment, and I've already forgotten who the Hell top primitive #08 was.

Our local liberal rag actually ran one of Jason Leopold's bowel movements in the Sunday op-eds page a few years back... and this was after Fitzmas. Lots of conservatives wrote in to comment. Naturally they wouldn't print a one so everyone started sending their letters to the editor into the more conservative evening paper stating that the liberal rag wouldn't print it...and of course the evening paper printed every one of those. Had a whole page of them for several days. Then there was the online comments. They eventually shut that down as well. It was great fun watching all that... especially the ones that talked about Jason and Fitzmas.
The Chas Gazette's editor at the time, I think his name was Dan Radmacher, ended up "resigning to take another position with another paper."
Fitzmas... the gift that kept on giving.

Let us not forget the FBI in questions is Obama's FBI. A word from the great O could have stopped this investigation. But he did not.
How does it feel DUmmies when your own side considers you a potential threat?

They should be thankfull that Nobama hasn't had the power that Stalin did to fix that problem.

He just needs a little more time. Maybe in his third term.

I was just noticing that...Are the DUmmies willing to wait another 24 business hours for something to develop from this?
-
Leopold?
Ahh, yes, here it is.

He thinks he does, but still hasn't figured out how or when to use it.
Just like with the BP oil spill, extra troops in Afghanistan, etc.
Hard to vote "present" when you're the president, and have nobody notice. :lmao:

Obama gives them things and says he cares.
Therefore, no amount of domestic surveillance or assassinations of US citizens without due process or unprovoked wars of profiteering aggression will cause them to break faith.
