FBI, DHS, and the banks working together to beat down OWS?

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?
lol dude... the guardian?
the title of another article: "Fiscal cliff reveals how dysfunctional Republican nihilism makes US politics"
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.
But here is the link to the place that supposedly broke the information: http://www.justiceonline.org/
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.
The Gov't keeping tabs on citizens who don't toe the offical line?
Whoa. Shocker.
It's part of why I chose to work in this industry for a while: to see for myself the mechanisms of power
