| Released FBI documents reveal plans to assassinate OWS activistsSun Dec 23, 2012 9:8PM  Jason Leopold,
an investigative journalist for Truth-Out, has obtained FBI documents - through
the Freedom of Information Act - relating to Occupy Wall Street. Most of the
pages in the documents are redacted, and show concerns of cyber threats against
the financial sector. However, there are questions of assassination plots
against Occupy activists in Houston, Texas. Because the documents have
redactions, it is not clear who or what group was planning the
assassinations. On page 61, the
section reads: “An identified [redacted] of October planned to engage in sniper
attacks against protesters in Houston, Texas, if deemed necessary. An identified
[redacted] had received intelligence that indicated the protesters in New York
and Seattle planned similar protests in Houston, Dallas, San Antonio and Austin,
Texas. [Redacted] planned to gather intelligence against the leaders of the
protest groups and obtain photographs, then formulate a plan to kill the
leadership via suppressed sniper rifles.” The bottom of
page 68 and the top of page 69 reads: “On October 13, 2011, writer sent via
email an excerpt [redacted] regarding FBI Houston’s [redacted] to all IA’s,
SSRA’s and SSA [redacted]. This [redacted] identified the exploitation of the
Occupy Movement by [redacted] interested in developing a long-term plan to kill
local Occupy leaders via sniper fire.”
ragingchickenpress.org HIGHLIGHTS According to
internal documents newly released by the FBI, the agency spearheaded a
nationwide law enforcement effort to investigate and monitor the Occupy Wall
Street movement. In certain documents, divisions of the FBI refer to the Occupy
Wall Street protests as a "criminal activity" or even "domestic terrorism." The
Huffington Post The internal
papers were obtained by the Partnership for Civil Justice fund via a Freedom of
Information Act Request. The fund, a legal nonprofit that focuses on civil
rights, says it believes the 112 pages of documents, available for public
viewing on its website, are only "the tip of the iceberg." The Huffington
Post Documents show
the spying abuses of the FBI’s “Campus Liaison Program” in which the FBI in
Albany and the Syracuse Joint Terrorism Task Force disseminated information to
“sixteen different campus police officials,” and then “six additional campus
police officials.” infoshop.org Campus officials
were in contact with the FBI for information on OWS. A representative of the
State University of New York at Oswego contacted the FBI for information on the
OWS protests and reported to the FBI on the SUNY-Oswego Occupy encampment made
up of students and professors. infoshop.org According to the
new documents, the FBI began meeting with representatives of the New York Stock
Exchange and other businesses as early as August 2011, a month before the
Zuccotti Park protests. The Huffington Post According to the
documents, the FBI coordinated extensively with private companies, including
banks that feared they could be affected by Occupy protests. The Huffington
PostFACTS & FIGURES The Occupy Wall
Street movement, which began on September 17, 2011 in New York City's Wall
Street financial district has been rallying against social and economic
inequality, greed, corruption and the perceived undue influence of corporations
on government-particularly from the financial services sector.
occupywallst.org Among the Occupy
movement's prime concerns is that large corporations and the global financial
system control the world in a way that disproportionately benefits a minority,
undermines democracy and is unstable. The Huffington Post Occupy Wall
Street has managed to turn the attention of America’s politicians and citizens
to the dismal state of income inequality and economic mobility in the U.S. Think
