Real anarchists do not act in this manner.
An identified [DELETED] as of October planned to engage in sniper attacks against protestors (sic) in Houston, Texas if deemed necessary. An identified [DELETED] had received intelligence that indicated the protesters in New York and Seattle planned similar protests in Houston, Dallas, San Antonio and Austin, Texas.

People who are the leaders of ANY movement could take a page from past wars..................don't make yourself obvious...................you take out the leaders and the rest scatter ,at the least they are totally disoriented.
I can't imagine the FBI doing something like this, this is a job for contractors that infiltrate the groups and take out the leaders stealthily.
Look around you group people...................who do you really trust?????

That's actually what I initially thought as well and would be the bias that I went in with as my first thought was if the "exploitation by" was not a three letter acronym denoting another agency, then it was something private. Considering who Occupy was targeting, a motive would exist for such a plot. However, the redaction sizes and string lengths (particularly the first naming) did not match for any known private military contractor, who tend to keep their names down to 1-2 words or even an acronym themselves.

I very much doubt that what you link to here is an official FBI memo, no watermark for starters. And even if it is legit and the original memo did come through the official records keeping process, you can just about bet the farm that they want it 'out there' .Given the contents can be read and interpreted from several different perspectives it makes it hard if not impossible to evaluate it properly so, to say succinctly why they'd want it released or what they intended in the wording of it. Perhaps they need people to mule the implied message of the Ops interpreted 'revelation' to as many people as possible - doing their dirty work for them if this interpretation is the correct one. If it is, then they couldn't have half the impact they'd need it to have to make their agenda work, without using conspiracy pigeons for mule-ing.
The real doc that this revised doc represents, could have been an order for pens. Even if not, this message is redacted and unclear, and too easily misinterpreted. It could have been an internal notice of intent, an invitation for joint task force from another agency, it could have been referring to a report *received* by the FBI, it could be a report from spies watching mafia or right wing groups businesses or anyone detrimentally "affected' by the occupy message..... but see top left corner..this document **has** been 'revised' and having gone through that process, so the potential is there that the original message has been changed prior to its release entirely.
If the Op's headline is to be believed then subject to their individual interpretations and fears soon everyone will think some big secret has been accidentally disclosed or some great fact revealed and so will pass around the *actual* message they/FBi want and have you tweeting and that is : " Don't protest or they will kill you".
When the reality is.... its just as likely refers to some nosy neighbor who overheard two members of two different redneck football team drunk and making statements about occupy and called the FBI thinking to be a good citizen. There is no way to tell with such ambiguous evidence. That this 'memo' is so manipulative in its redactions, this does seem a classic social psyop to me and by the looks of it...ppl are falling for it hook line and sinker.
