Buried within a heavily redacted document dump response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request by the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund is an acknowledgment by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) that it had identified an individual or group planning to kill Occupy Wall Street protesters at various events across Texas. Surprisingly (or not, depending on your perspective) the FBI failed to warn the Occupy protesters of the danger.
The FOIA response had earlier revealed that the FBI cooperated with the US military, the Department of Homeland Security, and corporations (including the New York Stock Exchange and various banks) in investigating the Occupy Wall Street protests as criminal activities and the participants as domestic terrorists. “These documents also show these federal agencies functioning as a de facto intelligence arm of Wall Street and corporate America,” said Mara Verheyden-Hilliard, Partnership for Civil Justice Fund executive director.
