#FlashbackFriday Obama & FBI Branded The Occupy Movement As "Domestic Terrorists" Dec. 30, 2012

I thought I would from time to time re-post older post of mine which are still relevant.
The post republished here is from December 30, 2012.

I divided into two sections from its original format. The second part deals with gun control the first with Obama crushing #OCCUPY

Of course we also know from more leaked documents that President Obama colluded with the FBI, DHS, Local Police, Oil company mercenaries TigerSwan and the corporations involved to demonize, smear and infiltrate and spy on the Water Protectors in North Dakota and elsewhere treating them as Domestic or Foreign terrorists - they used anti-terrorism tactics on the NODAPL protesters at Standing Rock and continue to do so. Of course the US media including Rachel Maddow MS Russia,Russia, Russia and MSNBC wont report much on this since it doesn't reflect well on Obama or his inner circle or the Democratic party and especially is damaging to Queen Hillary .

XXXXXXXXXXXX


Here's video on the police , National Guard and Mercenaries Tiger Swan and their brutal response to protesters and we now know it was all approved by President Obama and his administration of course in secret but the documents were leaked giving those concerned proof .

But most Americans like Hillary Clinton have a hate on for Environmentalists and especially for Native Americans .
Now that Trump is in power there is no longer any need for softening the rhetoric as Obama and Hillary felt they had to to appear as if they gave a shit.

Obama demonizing and crushing #Occupy is just the American Way of dealing with legitimate protest which are uncomfortable for the establishment and the Media and a large portion of Americans who are in effect displaying their sometimes masked Authoritarian quasi -Fascistic tendency whether it is towards #Occupy of #BlackLivesMatter Or the #WaterProtectors and Native American protests against the Oil companies or anti-torture groups or anti-war groups or anti-drones or anti-cluster bombs all are demonized as UNAMERICAN and therefore can legitimately according to President Obama or whomever be denied their basic fundamental rights.

The same old tropes or memes are trotted out accusing protesters of being UnAmerican or anti-American as Russian plants or dupes as the movements in the sixties ie Civil Rights Movement, the anti-war movement ,the Feminists were all branded as UnAmerican anti-Christian and pro-Russia or Pro-China all as a way to demonize and make such gorups illegitimate in their claims and their operations.

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.

and once again at New York Occupy Protests -NYPD Unwarranted Overuse of Pepperspray
but Obama and DHS were determined to crush the Movement:



Roger’s note: The Empire Strikes Back. Those of us who oppose the imperial capitalism-on-steroids policies of the United States government are vulnerable to being labeled as terrorists. And targeted for assassination! As long as you behave yourself, as most Americans do, you are safe from government oppression (of course, you may lose your home or your job and go into bankruptcy over health care costs, but that is a horse of a different color). A police state does not attack all its citizens, only those who are uppity.

The Occupy Movement (#OWS) from the very beginning even before the first protests occurred was labeled by the FBI and other agencies and the Obama administration as a"domestic terrorist organization" .

So this is how President Obama and his administration viewed Occupy as domestic terrorists the irony and hypocrisy is astounding. When Obama and other officials supposedly praise Martin Luther King and the non-violent civil rights movement we should no longer take them seriously. Because given Obama's attitude towards the Occupy Movement we can assume if Obama and his friends in power were in power when Martin Luther King was organizing protests across the USA Obama being as we now know on the side of the status quo would have done as J. Edgar Hoover did that is to infiltrate and spy on MLK and other leaders of the movement and we can assume Obama would have stayed quiet when police used violent methods to try to put an end to the Civil Rights Movement .

If it had been up to President Obama he would have sent in the National Guard not to protect Civil Rights leaders and their followers but rather to use force to destroy the Civil Rights movement . As someone mentioned in their analysis of Obama's policies is that he more akin to a moderate Republican rather than a progressive and he manged to resell his brand to the American voters a second time.

So in fact the local police forces and the FBI and Homeland Security and other intelligence agencies were involved in a secret coordinated effort to stop even peaceful protests because Occupy was seen as a threat to America's national security and to the Big banks and big Corporations and Wall Street.

The documents released for instance shows there was talk about assassinating those who were considered as the leaders of Occupy but it is unclear who was threatening Occupy leaders the government or some other anti-Occupy organization or just individuals. If the threat was made by non-government or police officials then Occupy Movement should have been informed of such a threat.

Naomi Wolf :

It was more sophisticated than we had imagined: new documents show that the violent crackdown on Occupy last fall – so mystifying at the time – was not just coordinated at the level of the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, and local police. The crackdown, which involved, as you may recall, violent arrests, group disruption, canister missiles to the skulls of protesters, people held in handcuffs so tight they were injured, people held in bondage till they were forced to wet or soil themselves –was coordinated with the big banks themselves.

The Partnership for Civil Justice Fund, in a groundbreaking scoop that should once more shame major US media outlets (why are nonprofits now some of the only entities in America left breaking major civil liberties news?), filed this request. The document – reproduced here in an easily searchable format – shows a terrifying network of coordinated DHS, FBI, police, regional fusion center, and private-sector activity so completely merged into one another that the monstrous whole is, in fact, one entity: in some cases, bearing a single name, the Domestic Security Alliance Council. And it reveals this merged entity to have one centrally planned, locally executed mission. The documents, in short, show the cops and DHS working for and with banks to target, arrest, and politically disable peaceful American citizens.

The documents, released after long delay in the week between Christmas and New Year, show a nationwide meta-plot unfolding in city after city in an Orwellian world: six American universities are sites where campus police funneled information about students involved with OWS to the FBI, with the administrations’ knowledge (p51); banks sat down with FBI officials to pool information about OWS protesters harvested by private security; plans to crush Occupy events, planned for a month down the road, were made by the FBI – and offered to the representatives of the same organizations that the protests would target; and even threats of the assassination of OWS leaders by sniper fire – by whom? Where? – now remain redacted and undisclosed to those American citizens in danger, contrary to standard FBI practice to inform the person concerned when there is a threat against a political leader (p61).

As Mara Verheyden-Hilliard, executive director of the PCJF, put it, the documents show that from the start, the FBI – though it acknowledges Occupy movement as being, in fact, a peaceful organization – nonetheless designated OWS repeatedly as a “terrorist threat”:

“FBI documents just obtained by the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund (PCJF) … reveal that from its inception, the FBI treated the Occupy movement as a potential criminal and terrorist threat … 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.”

Verheyden-Hilliard points out the close partnering of banks, the New York Stock Exchange and at least one local Federal Reserve with the FBI and DHS, and calls it “police-statism”:

“This production [of documents], 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 … These documents also show these federal agencies functioning as a de facto intelligence arm of Wall Street and Corporate America.”
