In reply to the discussion: FBI Won't Release Occupy Surveillance Documents to ACLU, Citing National Security [View all]starroute
(12,977 posts)Understand -- all indications are of extensive FBI surveillance of Occupy which would generate a considerable amount of paperwork.
But the FBI has only released a tiny number of pages and insists that all the rest has to be kept secret for reasons of national security.
So your "plausible scenario" amounts to saying that only about 5-10% of what Occupy Oakland was doing actually involved carrying out the public agenda of of the group as expressed on websites, on Facebook, in interviews, etc. And the other 90-95% was the doing of "groups (other than Occupy) whose intentions might be less than peaceful and not remotely in the best interests of the citizenry at large."
So where are these "groups (other than Occupy)"? Can you name them? Point to any evidence of their activities? Suggest what agenda they might have in taking over the Occupy movement and how they did it with nobody noticing, including the Occupiers themselves? Explain why the FBI hasn't been hitting protesters with terrorism charges instead of the usual crap like obstructing traffic?
I'd say you've got a long way to go to make this one not stink like something three days dead.
