[Fire Walk With Me]

And were watching from day 1.

If you want to know where the real government of the United States is located, just check out one of the documents received by the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund in response to their Freedom of Information Act request to the Dept. of Homeland Security relating to surveillance of the Occupy Movement. That document, from the Secret Service, dated September 17, 2011, the day the Occupy movement began on Wall Street, from the US Secret Service Intelligence Division, titled Prism Demonstrations Abstract, list the location as “Wall Street Bull” — a reference to the bronze statue of a bull on Wall Street in front of the New York Stock Exchange, and the “protectee” as “The United States Government.”

As the National Lawyers Guild comments dryly, “American taxpayers might find it odd to learn that the Secret Service was on duty to protect the Wall Street Bull in the name of protecting the U.S. Government. But there it is.”

The trove of 398 documents (many of them heavily censored) received on behalf of thePCJF, the NLG and filmmaker Michael Moore, consists primarily of materials from top Homeland Security Officials, which PCJF Executive Director Mara Verhayden Hilliard says is a deliberate effort by Homeland Security officials to deflect attention from the workings of the mid-level intelligence staff of the various agencies within DHS who do the spying, and the so-called Fusion Centers around the country — all wholly funded by DHS–which link federal agencies like the FBI with local and state police agencies.

1. Just try to get the names of the corporations that exercise their right to free speech

by purchasing ads on TV through some kind of superpac.

Wonder whether Homeland Security knows how much of the money spent on political ads in this country comes from overseas? And I wonder how much of that money is from overseas?

3. Sounds like Michael Moore is working on a movie about Occupy Wall Street.

I see he's among those behind the FOIA request. He really knows how to expose this kind of crap. But it usually takes me a few weeks to get up the strength to see one of his movies. They always just rip my heart out and make me sad for my country.

4. "Make No Mistake: America's Bankers have suffered enough"

"Americans understand that it is only through *limiting* our liberties that we *gain* our liberties. While we often cherish our right to dissent, we cannot allow a small group of leftist agitators to interfere with the day-to-day fleecing of the 99%. Americans know that it is only through compromise and surrender that we can come together to transcend politics as usual and deliver the rest of America to the 1%."*

*For the parody-impaired: this is not an actual quote. By anyone. That I know of.

5. If you have nothing to hide,

you have nothing to worry about.

Big Brother LOVES you,
and only wants what is best for YOU!
So anyone interfering with Big Brother
is a "Terrorist".




You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their excuses.

6. Interesting, I just noticed that Michael Moore helped get those documents.

The trove of 398 documents (many of them heavily censored) received on behalf of thePCJF, the NLG and filmmaker Michael Moore, consists primarily of materials from top Homeland Security Officials, which PCJF Executive Director Mara Verhayden Hilliard says is a deliberate effort by Homeland Security officials to deflect attention from the workings of the mid-level intelligence staff of the various agencies within DHS who do the spying, and the so-called Fusion Centers around the country — all wholly funded by DHS–which link federal agencies like the FBI with local and state police agencies.

That man is a Patriot. Always working for the people. No wonder Keith was criticized for having him on his show. Makes me wonder now, about Current, if that is true.
