Nothing unexpected here. Of course the police had plans, is anyone surprised by that? Also, of course they had informants. They would have been stupid not to, and it can't be very difficult to infiltrate a group that is hyper-democratic and made largely of volunteers. Also, regarding the "420 tent" and "anarchists," the police over-estimated the threat presented by these groups, which is also not surprising. Those were confusing times, and craziest people were often the loudest. I will be interested to see what the documents produced by the occupiers had to say about their plans.

Nothing unexpected is right. The State has a long history of spying on, infiltrating, and disrupting any group that poses an ideological threat to it's hegemony. See Cointelpro. It's not a coincidence that the same efforts aren't made against racists and far right extremists, because white supremacy is at the foundation of the ruling class. And so, it's also not surprising that the police would use undercover officers, informants, and any other dirty trick at their disposal to discredit and disrupt the occupy movement. That doesn't mean it isn't cause for public outrage. This is a war - it's too bad that only the State and the police seem to realize that.

Robin, firstly, FBI spying on the KKK and other white supremacist groups has occurred. Even recently, the FBI has infiltrated right-wing extremist groups, and foiled their plots to do harm. These are not tactics reserved for use against the left.

Also, saying that "this is a war" is part of the reason that authorities react the way that they do. "War" requires violence. When you say that "this is a war," the most logical conclusion for an outsider to draw is that you intend to use violence. I recommend that you don't use the word "war" unless you do intend to use violence, lest you be misunderstood.

On March 26th 2007 Eric Carlson and a John Ray broke into an apartment early in the morning and they raped, photographed, and murdered a child, and I caught the pedophile cops in the act on a audio recorder!
Eric Carlson and John Ray had a buyer for those photographs meet up with them at Clackamas Walmart where they discussed the details of their crimes!
On that same day Clackamas Walmart employees printed out flyers because of the crimes committed by Eric Carlson and John Ray!

The Portland police and Multnomah county sheriff's are involved in murders in Portland Oregon and they cover up victims 911 calls and they interfere with victims getting medical treatment!
News media stations and news media websites want people to think of them as two separate law agency's yet they work together all the time, Multnomah county sheriff's perform arrests within Portland Oregon many times so they don't care anything about jurisdiction!

Between 2005 and 2007 the Portland police and Multnomah county sheriff's organized a murder conspiracy within East Port Walmart and later on within Clackamas Walmart, many relatives of Walmart employees died during this time and authority's made sure the deaths were covered up as either natural deaths or suicides!

The Portland police took over the assembly department in East Port Walmart with under cover law officer's with Walmart managers consent in early 2005 and they were involved in making child porn!

Those under cover law officer's wasted no time in recruiting female Walmart employees in sexual acts, some Walmart employees were married and began affairs with those under cover law officer's!

Those under cover law officer's organized a murder conspiracy within those Walmart stores and many people died, of which their deaths were quietly covered up at the hospitals!
Many female Walmart employees took up the use of antifreeze and started poisoning off relatives/spouses and did not care because it was simply covered up by their lovers in law enforcement, quite simply the hospitals refused to take toxicology tests and pretended nothings wrong!

Many managers at East Port Walmart and Clackamas Walmart agreed to lie for those under cover law officer's and aided the officer's in hiding their true employment from many people!

The Portland police and Multnomah county sheriff's were involved in committing murders and setups and they did not care if they were discovered by anyone because there is no one people can report this to that cares, cops lie for each other and cover each others butts all the time and they are good buddy's with the prosecutors so they just don't have any fear of prosecution at all!

Victims 911 calls are covered up and first responders make it known to the 911 caller they don't give a damn, first responders do not try to hide from 911 callers they will ignore everything you try to report to them they want people to know they don't give a damn if people are victims of cops!

Many Walmart employees relatives died between 2005 thru 2007 and coincidentally the Portland police and Multnomah county sheriff's were secretly renting apartments near their victims during these deaths under the pretense of conducting an "investigation" when in actuality they were sleeping around with female Walmart employees!

Portland police and Multnomah county sheriff's take over apartments near someone they "investigate" all the time and people all know there are cops that work under cover and do not reveal their activity's to the public, what people don't realize is that cops themselves while they are under cover do THEMSELVES commit crimes and many times they do it for fun or for personal reasons, such as targeting a lovers spouse!

My 911 calls were covered up and I have no way to report this to fascist cops without being threatened or attacked by them so I am doing my best to warn people!
This is vital information that leads to proof!
