FBI, Snipers & OccupyBy Dave Lindorff
WhoWhatWhy.com on Jun 27, 2013
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 city’s 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 provocateurs—and, as crazy as it sounds, some kind of plot to assassinate the “leaders” of this non-violent and leaderless movement.
But don’t take our word for it. Here’s what the document obtained from the Houston FBI, said:
An identified (DELETED) as of October planned to engage in sniper attacks against protestors (sic) in Houston, Texas if deemed necessary. An identified (DELETED) had received intelligence that indicated the protesters in New York and Seattle planned similar protests in Houston, Dallas, San Antonio and Austin, Texas. (DELETED) 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. (Note: protests continued throughout the weekend with approximately 6000 persons in NYC. ‘Occupy Wall Street’ protests have spread to about half of all states in the US, over a dozen European and Asian cities, including protests in Cleveland (10/6-8/11) at Willard Park which was initially attended by hundreds of protesters.)

What country is this again?
You are so right and the way you latch on to things, stevenleser, it's scary.
You have an amazing focus and are so correct, Nixon was not in office in 1968.
Of course, many of his old cronies were in government. As evidenced in the tape recordings both LBJ and Nixon made, Nixon engaged in treason before he was in office and after he got back in office. As LBJ "let it go," there was no accountability then and Nixon and his descendants have run roughshod over the Constitution and Bill of Rights ever since.
My main point in using the term "Secret Government" is that it is most undemocratic. For Democracy to work, for our Constitution to be enforced and our Republic to function, We the People need to know what the government is doing in our name. Secret Government -- the military, spying, and police agencies -- now work so far above the law as to consider themselves immune to prosecution. And "We the People" are their main enemies.
An important example of why I don't trust secret government: Nixon appointed a corrupt Secret Service agent to lead Sen. Ted Kennedy's Secret Service protective detail, when EMK considered a run for the White House in 1972. Haldeman told Nixon the man had volunteered to demonstrate his loyalty by murder, he'd "kill on command," if only Haldeman or Tricky Dick were to ask. I never would have known about this, were it not for Watergate, the little secret government conspiracy Nixon and most of the press at first said was nothing to worry our little heads over.
The Neo-Nazi Question in Ukraine
Michael Hughes
Foreign Policy Analyst, Huffington Post, 5/11/2014
The Obama administration has vehemently denied charges that Ukraine's nascent regime is stock full of neo-fascists despite clear evidence suggesting otherwise. Such categorical repudiations lend credence to the notion the U.S. facilitated the anti-Russian cabal's rise to power as part of a broader strategy to draw Ukraine into the West's sphere of influence. Even more disturbing are apologists, from the American left and right, who seem willing accomplices in this obfuscation of reality, when just a cursory glance at the profiles of Ukraine's new leaders should give pause to the most zealous of Russophobes.
In a State Department "fact sheet" released last week the U.S. accused Putin of lying about the Ukrainian government being under the sway of extremist elements. The report stated that right wing ultranationalist groups "are not represented in the Rada (Ukraine's parliament)," and that "there is no indication the government would pursue discriminatory policies."
SNIP...
The highest-ranking right-wing extremist is Deputy Prime Minister Oleksandr Sych, also a member of Svoboda, who believes that women should "lead the kind of lifestyle to avoid the risk of rape, including refraining from drinking alcohol and being in controversial company." This is the philosophy underlying one of his "legal initiatives," according to the Kyiv Post, "to ban all abortions, even for pregnancies that occurred during rape."
The Svoboda party has tapped into Nazi symbolism including the "wolf's angel" rune, which resembles a swastika and was worn by members of the Waffen-SS, a panzer division that was declared a criminal organization at Nuremberg. A report from Tel-Aviv University describes the Svoboda party as "an extremist, right-wing, nationalist organization which emphasizes its identification with the ideology of German National Socialism."
According to this BBC news clip two Svoboda parliamentarians in recent weeks posed for photos while "brandishing well-known far right numerology," including the numbers 88 -- the eighth letter of the alphabet -- signifying "HH," as in "Heil Hitler." This all makes Hillary Clinton's recent comments comparing Putin to Hitler appear patently absurd, as Stanley adeptly points out: "After all, in the eyes of many ethnic Russians, it is the Ukrainian nationalists -- not Putin -- who are the Nazis."

Richard Nixon’s long shadow
Richard Nixon’s long shadow
By George F. Will
Washington Post, Opinion writer August 6
At about 5:15 p.m. on June 17, 1971, in the Oval Office, the president ordered a crime: “I want it implemented on a thievery basis G------ it, get in and get those files. Blow the safe and get it.”
The burglary he demanded was not the one that would occur exactly one year later at the Democratic National Committee’s office in the Watergate complex. Richard Nixon was ordering a break-in at the Brookings Institution, a think tank, to seize material concerning U.S. diplomacy regarding North Vietnam during the closing weeks of the 1968 presidential campaign.
As they sometimes did regarding his intemperate commands, Nixon’s aides disregarded the one concerning Brookings. But from a White House atmosphere that licensed illegality came enough of it to destroy him.
SNIP...
In October 1968, Nixon’s lead over his Democratic opponent, Vice President Hubert Humphrey, was dwindling, partly because Humphrey had proposed a halt to U.S. bombing of North Vietnam. Five days before the election, President Lyndon Johnson announced the halt, hoping to convene peace talks. One impediment, however, was South Vietnam’s reluctance to participate. Its recalcitrance reflected its hope that it would be better supported by a Nixon administration.
On July 3, 1968, a Nixon campaign aide, Dick Allen, sent a memo proposing a meeting with Nixon and Anna Chennault, a Chinese American active in Republican politics. She would bring to the meeting South Vietnam’s ambassador to Washington. The memo said the meeting must be “top secret.” Nixon wrote on the memo: “Should be but I don’t see how — with the S.S. [Secret Service].” On July 12, however, she and the ambassador did meet secretly in New York with Nixon who, she later said, designated her his “sole representative” to the Saigon government.

Nixon's Vietnam Treason (George Will Confirms)
George Will Confirms
Nixon’s Vietnam Treason
by BOB FITRAKIS & HARVEY WASSERMAN
CounterPunch, Aug. 13, 2014
Richard Nixon was a traitor.
The new release of extended versions of Nixon’s papers now confirms this long-standing belief, usually dismissed as a “conspiracy theory” by Republican conservatives. Now it has been substantiated by none other than right-wing columnist George Will.
Nixon’s newly revealed records show for certain that in 1968, as a presidential candidate, he ordered Anna Chennault, his liaison to the South Vietnam government, to persuade them refuse a cease-fire being brokered by President Lyndon Johnson.
Nixon’s interference with these negotiations violated President John Adams’s 1797 Logan Act, banning private citizens from intruding into official government negotiations with a foreign nation.
Published as the 40th Anniversary of Nixon’s resignation approaches, Will’s column confirms that Nixon feared public disclosure of his role in sabotaging the 1968 Vietnam peace talks. Will says Nixon established a “plumbers unit” to stop potential leaks of information that might damage him, including documentation he believed was held by the Brookings Institute, a liberal think tank. The Plumbers’ later break-in at the Democratic National Committee led to the Watergate scandal that brought Nixon down.

THIS is why Secret Government is undemocratic and evil.
Nixon approved hiring a Secret Service man who said he'd 'kill on command' to guard Ted Kennedy.
It's about 40:minutes into the documentary.
I had read the transcript years ago, but actually hearing Nixon and Haldeman discussing the details, I knew what has happened to our nation.
You're entitled to an opinion. Got any links to back up your assumptions?
Otherwise, it's highly speculative, to say the least. That's why Parry cites his sources and asks the government to provide data to back up its claims. He reports what he finds and he states what he thinks, making clear the distinction between the two.
Parry has a reputation going back to when he broke the Iran-Contra and Oliver North drug smuggling stories. He was called all sorts of names then, too, like "Conspiracy Theorist" by the very government officials he chronicled committing criminal conspiracy, or "Treason" as Democrats like Adlai Stevenson used to say.
Alabama federal judge Mark Fuller arrested in Atlanta
Source: AP/Montgomery Advertiser
ATLANTA — Police say an Alabama federal judge accused of assaulting his wife at an Atlanta hotel has been charged with battery.
Atlanta Police spokeswoman Kim Jones says 55-year-old U.S. District Court Judge Mark Fuller was arrested early Sunday after a reported altercation at the Ritz-Carlton in Atlanta.
Jones said the woman, who hasn't been identified by name, was treated for injuries on the scene but refused to be taken to a local hospital.
It's unclear if Fuller has an attorney, and jail records show that he's being held without bond.
Fuller is a judge in the Middle District of Alabama in Montgomery and presided over the bribery trial of former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman and HealthSouth CEO Richard Scrushy in 2006.

Justice for Just-Us.
It's a handy summation...
Like the family motto: "Money trumps peace."
They've lusted for Iraq's oil since they stole Iran's.
At home, they looted the New Deal and dismantled the Great Society. And the BFEE murdered the New Frontier.
