FBI, DHS, and the banks working together to beat down OWS?
http://m.guardiannews.com/commentisfree/2012/dec/2...
According to the guardian this is true as part of what they called "The Domestic Security Alliance Council" and paint it as a "big banks" have essentially been able to get their will done by the FBI and DHS.
From the Guardian:
"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 (p61)."
So, what do you think about this?

The information request came from a non-profit in the US, though. The guardian just quotes the info request.
Which one? All I see are
Which one? All I see are links to DemocracyNow, TruthOut, etc.
Also, non-profit does't mean shit in the US. I'll probably wait until it's on Reuters.
RIP WSO Chat.

I agree non-profit status is pretty lulzy in the US.
But here is the link to the place that supposedly broke the information: http://www.justiceonline.org/
Looks like a pro-bono law
Looks like a pro-bono law firm. Could be worse, I guess.
I definitely wouldn't rule out misconduct - but conspiracies I'll wait to read about in Reuters. It's kind of shitty how there are barely any news sites out there to trust.
RIP WSO Chat.

That wasn't really the point. The point was supposedly bank officials were involved in forming an agenda on how to treat OWS. Essentially, the banks pressured the FBI and local law enforcement to take a more aggressive stance and treat some of them as "terrorists" and were successful in getting what they wanted.

It's well within reasonable to think so. Ows supporter George Sorros has a direct line to federal power, why wouldnt a CEO of a top 20 bank? It doesn't matter what side you're on, this is how things work...
It's part of why I chose to work in this industry for a while: to see for myself the mechanisms of power
