it has been proven in the highest court cases and others that the FBI not only harasses non-violent protesters and people practicing constitutional rights, but frames, murders, drives insane, tortures, and do other things to ruin activists lives. yet, virtually no one knows about this or even cares. this isnt a personal issue, its a national crisis and the more its ignored the more f**ked we all are. cat calling isnt illegal, yet stifling first amendment rights are, and we hear virtually nothing from the media about this. For all i know in some inner cities cat calling is a form of actually finding a girl friend, maybe women find this acceptable in some places, idk. when youre stuck in a ghetto, cant go out at night and cant walk down 90% of your streets there isnt a whole lot to do. its clearly an issue, especially following someone, and it should be stopped, and youd think people would have common sense as to when youre not welcome. but there are more important things. we need to strike at the root of evil and not hack at its 1000 branches if you want to get rid of the hydra that will in turn solve all issues. “But the FBI has never had any statute clearlydefining itsauthority and after all of these many years, this is the firstseriouscongressional investigation of its activities, and we have seen todaythe darkside of those activities, where many Americans who were not evensuspected ofcrime were not only spied upon but they were harassed, they werediscredited,and at times endangered through the covert operations of theFederal Bureau ofinvestigation.” p.60 of the Church Committee intelligence.senate.gov/pdfs94th/94intelligence_activities_VI.pdf Among the Media Papers was the suggestion bythe FBI that investigation of dissidents be stepped up in order to‘enhance the paranoia endemic in these circles and [to] further serve toget the point across there is an FBI agent behind every mailbox. N.Y.Times, March 25, 1971, p. 33, col. 1. law.cornell.edu/supct/html/historics/USSC_CR_0407_0297_ZC.html We heard that the FBI attempted to destroy one of our greatestleaders in the field of civil rights, and then replace him withsomeone of the FBIs choosing. From the evidence the committee has obtained,it is clear that the FBI for decades has conducted surveillanceover the personal and political activities of millions of Americans.Evidently, no meeting was too small, no group too insignificant toescape their attention. It did not seem to matter whether the politics ofthese Americans were legal or radical or whether the participantswere well known or obscure. It did not matter whether the information wasintimate and personal. The FBI created indexes, more commonly called enemylists, of thousands of Americans and targeted many ofthe Americans on these lists for special harassment. Hundreds ofthousands of Americans were victims of this surveillance program.Most of this was done in secret. Much of it was kept from Congress andthe Justice Department and all of it from the American people. No oneoutside the FBI has ever had an opportunity to know and appreciatethe full extent of the domestic surveillance program that was thenbeing conducted. intelligence.senate.gov/pdfs94th/94intelligence_activities_VI.pdf “Prior to September 11, 2001, there werenearly 100 political prisoners and prisoners of war incarcerated in the UnitedStates.1” law.harvard.edu/students/orgs/blj/vol18/soffiyah.pdf Murder conviction vacated[edit] Geronimo Ji Jagas [godfather of the late rapper Tupac Shakur] conviction was vacated on June 10, 1997, on the grounds that the prosecution had concealed evidence that might have influenced the jurys verdict. The prosecution had not disclosed the extent to which a key witness against Pratt, Julius Butler, provided information to the FBI and the Los Angeles Police Department. An appeals court ruled this fact to be favorable to the defendant, suppressed by a law enforcement agency, and material to the jurys decision to convict in 1999 and upheld the decision, freeing him.[10] Geronimo Ji Jaga eventually received $4.5 million as settlement for false imprisonment. A federal judge approved the settlement of the civil suit: the city of L.A. paid $2.75 million of the settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice paying the $1.75 million remainder.[11] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geronimo_Pratt law.justia/cases/california/court-of-appeal/4th/69/1294.html democracynow.org/2000/10/5/last_man_standing_the_tragedy_and Elmer Pratt was born in Morgan City, Louisiana, where his father was in the scrap metal business. Pratt was a high school quarterback who later served two combat tours as a soldier in the Vietnam War, reaching the rank of sergeant and earning two Bronze Stars, a Silver Star, and two Purple Hearts. [He would have been killed much earlier in his life when FBI opened fire in his apartment, but since he slept on the floor due to injuries he endured in Vietnam his life was spared.] Hence, on the ground and in cyberspace, ourincreasing reliance on electronics renders us even more vulnerable tocointelpros pervasiveness. Vulnerable to its watch list and towhat it has already done to our civil liberties and personal freedoms. The pushof a button (as punishment for resistance to its authority) could make all ourpertinent information -- our personal finances, records, credit cards, SS#s,licenses, our very names -- disappeared from the stream of U.S.electronic social interaction. Does that mean the sky will fall? No! But itcould well mean strangers at your door in the middle of the night, electrodesat your genitals in a padded room, or worse. freehermanbell.org/CointelPro-Then&Now.html does it mean the sky will fall? i guess the left doesnt want to paralyze the occupy movement . North also helped Reagans cronies at theFederal Emergency Management Administration develop contingency plans forsuspending the Constitution, establishing martial law, and holding politicaldissidents in concentration camps in the event of national oppositionagainst a U.S. military invasion abroad. p.31 (can be found on miamiherald if you e-mail them and pay a couple bucks) youtube/watch?v=Ug0IL7k3elQ 30. The scenario outlined in the Brinkerhoffmemo somewhat resembles Giuffridas thesis at the Army WarCollege, Pa. in which he portrays the establishment of martial lawin case of a national uprising by black militants. The paper alsoanalyzed the roundup and transfer to “assembly centers orrelocation camps” of at least 21 million “American Negroes.” See AlfonsoChardy, “Reagan Aides the ‘Secret’ Government,” Miami Herald,5 July 1987. stanford.edu/dept/relstud/faculty/sheehan/pdf/friendly.pdf blogs.spia.vt.edu/proberts/wp-content/blogs.dir/8/files/2012/04/roberts_SAPD.pdf If [SDS] or any group was organized on a national basis to subvert our society, then I think Congress should pass laws to suppress that activity. When you see an epidemic like this cropping up all over the country--the same kind of people saying the same kids of things--you begin to get the picture that it is a national subversive activity...[SDS and other new left activists] should be rounded up and put in a detention camp. -Richard G.

The FBI and the CIA have adifferent mandate than the one they followed. And now all of this has come backto haunt us with these awful, awful problems about terror and also the problemof torture. I think it’s almost unimaginable how bad it’s gotten.
