The documents don't support the wild conclusions of Naomi Wolf. The documents are generally just routine passing on of threat infomation. The threats generally weren't from Occupy but other groups. Occupy is repeatedly described as peaceful. There is almost no follow up. Law enforcement is left entirely up to locals, unless they request assistance.

All the threat information comes from public web sites except one E-mail somebody received and in another case a protester went to the feds about individuals considering disrupting the Iowa caucuses. There was also a threatening letter sent to a governor. Monitoring websites is not intrusive and understandable when a group names themselves "Occupy." Occupation is a hostile criminal act. "Occupy" is a threat. Blocking ports is a threat.

Earlier claims that there was a federal conspiracy against occupy turn out to be based on one journalist's anonymous source. That story was contradicted officially.

Before you decide I'm orchestrated, look at some of the wild claims Naomi Wolf makes and try to find the documents to support them.
