National Lawyers Guild Files FOIA Requests Seeking Evidence of Federal  
Role in Occupy Crackdown
by: Dave Lindorff - Fri, 11/18/2011

  With Congress no longer performing its sworn role of defending the  
US Constitution, the National Lawyers Guild Mass Defense Committee and  
the Partnership for Civil Justice today filed requests under the  
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) asking the Department of Justice,  
the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, the CIA and the National  
Parks Service to release "all their information on the planning of the  
coordinated law enforcement crackdown on Occupy protest encampments in  
multiple cities over the course of recent days and weeks"...

...the Occupy Movement is developing plans for a national occupation  
of the National Mall, the big park that runs between the Capitol and  
the Lincoln Monument that has been the scene of many historic rallies  
and occupations in decades past. A national General Assembly is being  
planned for April 1, which will focus on " the failure of the  
Democrats and Republicans in Congress to represent the views of the  
majority of people, the Supreme Court for allowing the Constitution to  
be perverted and for ignoring the rule of law and the Chamber of  
Commerce and lobbyists on K St for dominating the political process in  
favor of the 1% at the expense of the 99%."

This thing ain't over. It's just getting going.
