The thing that gets my feathers fluffled is that:

a) Mayors of big cities having conference calls to discuss how they might each respond to Occupations does not mean their efforts were "coordinated". Big city mayors talk to each other. That is not exactly front page news or a big secret.

and

b) EVEN IF DHS was involved in any of those calls, they could have been acting as consultants. Participation does not equal "DHS was in charge of (or ordered) massive Occupy crackdowns."

I can't stand DHS. I think the entire organization is absurd and continually in violation of the Constitution.

But there is just no real evidence they were "in charge" of a dang thing with respect to the Occupations.

I love a conspiracy theory as much as the next person. And I spent most of Bush's second term being sure he and Cheney and Rumsfeld were fixin' to ship us off to FEMA camps.

But this one doesn't hold water. Shame on Naomi. I lost a lot of respect for her.
