Revealed: how the FBI coordinated the crackdown on Occupy <br>
New documents prove what was once dismissed as paranoid fantasy: <br>
totally integrated corporate-state repression of dissent<br>

<p>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 <a
href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/fbi"
title="More from guardian.co.uk on FBI">FBI</a>, 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. </p>
<p>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 – <a
href="http://www.justiceonline.org/commentary/fbi-files-ows.html">reproduced
here in an easily searchable format</a> – 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.</p>
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 <br>
