FBI documents just released under the FOIA by the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund reveal that the FBI treated the Occupy movement as a potential terrorist organization, even though the organizers had explicitly called for all protests to be peaceful, and never condoned the use of violence in any Occupy protests. The documents are heavily redacted but what can be ascertained from reading them is scary, indeed.
As early as August 2011, the FBI had its agents and offices in “high gear” as they conducted surveillance against the OWS movement in New York and across the country even before encampments were erected. Mara Verheyden-Hilliard, Executive Director of the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund (PCJF), released this statement:
“This production, which we believe is just the tip of the iceberg, is a window into the nationwide scope of the FBI’s surveillance, monitoring, and reporting on peaceful protestors organizing with the Occupy movement. These documents show that the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security are treating protests against the corporate and banking structure of America as potential criminal and terrorist activity. These documents also show these federal agencies functioning as a de facto intelligence arm of Wall Street and Corporate America.”
Though the documents are heavily redacted, the PCJF has discovered that on August 19, 2011, the FBI met with representatives from the N.Y. Stock Exchange to discuss the upcoming protest. By September, the FBI had informed businesses on Wall Street that they might be the subject of the protest.
But the most frightening piece of information reveals that someone – exactly who is redacted – was planning to engage in sniper attacks against the leaders of OWS in several Texas cities including Houston, Austin and Dallas. The memo in question states:
“‘________’ intended to ‘gather intelligence against the leaders of the movement, obtain photographs, then formulate a plan to kill the leadership via suppressed sniper rifles.’”
The implications are chilling.

US agencies have plans drawn up to kill everybody, its just part of the game. Didn't the US have plans written up to invade Canada?

Please explain to me why you "THINK" it would never happen,
No offense, but that statement sounds a little naive.

And there are people out there right now that think disarming the public is a good idea because our government would never turn on us? This right here in black and white is proof that disarming the public is a bad idea. You are just scum that they scrape from their boot heel and have no regard for your existence. The fact that they even considered it, is as good as going through with it in my book.

Comparing war game scenarios to planned possible assassination of US citizens inside the US isn't even in the same play book let alone in the same section of the library. You are way off the reservation here if you think that they would not have carried this out if someone gave them the green light. I am sure it would have been pinned on some poor anti OWS patsy too.
I hope this wakes some individuals up that have had their heads in the sand to the fact that the government is not here to protect them. But more than likely this will be ignored just like other warnings have been and they will continue to just turn to Facebook, American Idol, and all the other distractions that are out there.
The Kent State shootings—also known as the May 4 massacre or the Kent State massacre[2][3][4]—occurred at Kent State University in the U.S. city of Kent, Ohio, and involved the shooting of unarmed college students by the Ohio National Guard on Monday, May 4, 1970. The guardsmen fired 67 rounds over a period of 13 seconds, killing four students and wounding nine others, one of whom suffered permanent paralysis.[5]
According to the Plain Dealer description of the enhanced recording, a male voice yells "Guard!" Several seconds pass. Then, "All right, prepare to fire!" "Get down!," someone shouts urgently, presumably in the crowd. Finally, "Guard! . . . " followed two seconds later by a long, booming volley of gunshots. The entire spoken sequence lasts 17 seconds. Further analysis of the audiotape revealed that four pistol shots and a violent confrontation occurred approximately 70 seconds before the National Guard opened fire. According to The Plain Dealer, this new analysis raised questions about the role of Terry Norman, a Kent State student who was an FBI informant and known to be carrying a pistol during the disturbance.

I addressed everything you pointed out in my last post. There were no serious domestic terror threats back then and now it IS in the same play book.
Nobody is waking anything. Settle down. NOBODY IS GOING GIVE A DAMN. The only that would have woke up anyone is a college kid getting shot dead at a peaceful protest.

This is extactly the reason we need to stay armed, and keep our eyes peeled. If they are willing to murder peaceful protestors, this means they are willing to even murder children, (hint,hint) for their agenda. Now, not saying I agree with that J. T. Ready guy with being Neo nazi, and racist or whatever, but, he had a valid point I think in showing up to that occupy protest armed along with his troops. This doesn't surprise me in the least that the feds were doing this. I was pretty sure that they had plans like this in the works anyways. We the people need to stay vigilant.

Tell me where and when OWS was labelled a terrorist organization, and who specifically inside OWS is a known terrorist?
For What... What are we going to Wait For...

Its not like the government would consider murdering all of us...Oh wait...
Who is going to stand in front of a mic on live television to explain to the country that killing a college kid who spoke his/her views with suppressed sniper fire, was in the American peoples best interest?
when they openly denounced capitalism and democracy. They might as well be on the Taliban's payroll.
