Ok, here we are. The movement is gaining momentum and the people are starting to listen to us, and to understand what we are talking about. And looks like the motivation must be valid, because there is more and more people joining the #OCCUPY in cities all around the World. Good.

Not good for the 1%, that sees the privileges (Tax cuts, huge bonuses, free bailouts from the mess they made…) in danger. So, what does the 1% do? They can’t, of course, give any good reason for the movement to stop, but they REALLY want it to be gone, finished, stopped and possibly crushed.

So they start another kind of action… They infiltrate a few provocateurs, to make the #OCCUPY movement look like a bunch of violent thugs that get their fun by burning cars, destroying Wells Fargo branches and generally make trouble. You think I’m paranoid?

I think I’m not. this kind of strategy has been documented, and PROVEN, in Rome on #OCT15, where a COP has been photographed together with the violent part of the demonstration, the part that ruined everything, because the press is still talking about the FEW VIOLENT IDIOTS, instead of the 250000 peaceful protesters that were on the streets.

San Francisco has some cops among the protesters, too!

Now that I think about that, though, I wonder what happened in Seattle, a few years ago…

Let’s not forget about the (not so) famous COINTELPRO!!!

Co-Intel, Agent Provocateurs, and Propaganda Techniques of the US Regime.

All Patriots should familiarize themselves with this knowledge before taking any pro-freedom action against the regime.

COINTELPRO (an acronym for Counter Intelligence Program) was a series of covert and often illegal projects conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation aimed at investigating and disrupting dissident political organizations within the United States. The FBI used covert operations from its inception, however formal COINTELPRO operations took place between 1956 and 1971. The FBI motivation at the time was “protecting national security, preventing violence, and maintaining the existing social and political order.

According to FBI records, 85% of COINTELPRO resources were expended on infiltrating, disrupting, marginalizing, and/or subverting groups suspected of being subversive, such as communist and socialist organizations, people suspected of building a “coalition of militant black nationalist groups” ranging from the Black Panther Party those in the non-violent civil rights movement Students for a Democratic Society, the National Lawyers Guild, almost all groups protesting the Vietnam War, and even individual student demonstrators with no group affiliations, and nationalist groups such as those seeking independence for Puerto Rico. The other 15% of COINTELPRO resources were expended to marginalize and subvert “white hate groups,” including the National States’ Rights Party.

The directives governing COINTELPRO were issued by FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, who ordered FBI agents to “expose, disrupt, misdirect, discredit, or otherwise neutralize” the activities of these movements and their leaders.

Methods.

According to attorney Brian Glick in his book War at Home, the FBI used four main methods during COINTELPRO:

1. Infiltration: Agents and informers did not merely spy on political activists. Their main purpose was to discredit and disrupt. Their very presence served to undermine trust and scare off potential supporters. The FBI and police exploited this fear to smear genuine activists as agents.

2. Psychological Warfare From the Outside: The FBI and police used myriad other “dirty tricks” to undermine progressive movements. They planted false media stories and published bogus leaflets and other publications in the name of targeted groups. They forged correspondence, sent anonymous letters, and made anonymous telephone calls. They spread misinformation about meetings and events, set up pseudo movement groups run by government agents, and manipulated or strong-armed parents, employers, landlords, school officials and others to cause trouble for activists.

3. Harassment Through the Legal System: The FBI and police abused the legal system to harass dissidents and make them appear to be criminals. Officers of the law gave perjured testimony and presented fabricated evidence as a pretext for false arrests and wrongful imprisonment. They discriminatorily enforced tax laws and other government regulations and used conspicuous surveillance, “investigative” interviews, and grand jury subpoenas in an effort to intimidate activists and silence their supporters.

4. Extralegal Force and Violence: The FBI and police threatened, instigated, and themselves conducted break-ins, vandalism, assaults, and beatings. The object was to frighten dissidents and disrupt their movements. In the case of radical Black and Puerto Rican activists (and later Native Americans), these attacks – including political assassinations were so extensive, vicious, and calculated that they can accurately be termed a form of official “terrorism”.

The FBI also conducted more than 200 “black bag jobs”,which were warrantless surreptitious entries, against the targeted groups and their members.

In 1969 the FBI special agent in San Francisco wrote Hoover that his investigation of the Black Panther Party (BPP) revealed that in his city, at least, the Black nationalists were primarily feeding breakfast to children. Hoover fired back a memo implying the career ambitions of the agent were directly related to his supplying evidence to support Hoover’s view that the BPP was “a violence-prone organization seeking to overthrow the Government by revolutionary means”.

Hoover was willing to use false claims to attack his political enemies. In one memo he wrote: “Purpose of counterintelligence action is to disrupt the BPP and it is immaterial whether facts exist to substantiate the charge.”

In one particularly controversial 1965 incident, civil rights worker Viola Liuzzo was murdered by Ku Klux Klansmen who gave chase and fired shots into her car after noticing that her passenger was a young black man; one of the Klansmen was acknowledged FBI informant Gary Thomas Rowe. Afterward COINTELPRO spread false rumors that Liuzzo was a member of the Communist Party and abandoned her children to have sexual relationships with African Americans involved in the civil rights movement. FBI informant Rowe has also been implicated in some of the most violent crimes of the 1960s civil rights era, including attacks on the Freedom Riders and the 1963 Birmingham, Alabama 16th Street Baptist Church bombing. In another instance in San Diego the FBI financed, armed, and controlled an extreme right-wing group of former Minutemen, transforming it into a group called the Secret Army Organization which targeted groups, activists, and leaders involved in the anti-War Movement for both intimidation and violent acts.

Hoover ordered preemptive action….”to pinpoint potential troublemakers and neutralize them before they exercise their potential for violence.”

Here we go… This is an old strategy, used all over the world, to make a demonstration turn violent, and have an excuse to send in riot police and break it.

DON’T FALL FOR IT! INSULATE THE PROVOCATEURS!

See what happened in Rome, on #OCT15, with COP infiltrated in the demonstration and then read about the Strategy of Francesco Cossiga.

This MUST be taken with extreme seriousness, watching out for one another and being extremely careful about who is mixing in the crowd. Violence must be avoided at all costs.

We are NOT violent, let’s not allow some corrupted provocateurs to ruin everything!

The Cossiga Strategy worked perfectly. The media are covering everything about the FEW violent provocateurs, ignoring the overwhelming majority that were peaceful and tried to stop them.

Why did the Police not block them? Why was A COP between them?

Sadness...

Ok, as I’ve been saying all along illustrating the strategy aimed to make the protesters lose credibility, the violence in Rome during the #OCCUPYTOGETHER gathering has been fully planned and carefully staged.

Whoever planned the riots, though, didn’t think about a new element in the mixture. The NETWORK! People, now, can show ample evidence that the “Black Block” criminals have been, actually, sent in the march just to make damage, and allow the high powers to send in the Police to disperse the crowd.

Look closely at the two pictures…

Romwe, riots on #OCT15

Some criminals are destroying the windows of a bank, and one is watching over them...

Whooops! He is a COP!

Now look closely at the man in the red circle. His name is Stefano Cacciatori, he is a POLICE OFFICER, always working in plain clothes,  coming from, and still close to, some extreme right movements.

What is re result of all this? Simple. Whoever is talking about the demonstrations in Rome, does not talk about the 250000 people that were peacefully protesting, and tried to stop the violence, no. Everybody is talking about burned cars, destroyed windows, wounded cops and the fact that the city has been under siege for hours.

This, my friends, is the strategy I was talking about. The Cossiga Strategy!

What happened in Rome, on October 15th and in Oakland, CA on November 2nd is really unsettling, because it DEFINITELY looks like it was organized, to destroy the credibility of the protesters and to give a reason to the police to attack the NON VIOLENT march

The main result is that now the news are talking only about the few violent provocateurs, instead of the THOUSANDS of PEACEFUL protesters!

Here is the translation of an unsettling interview to the national newspapers, the late President Francesco Cossiga said:

Maroni (The minister of internal affairs) should do what I did, when I was minister in the same office. Let them do. Pull the police from the streets, infiltrate the movement with some provocateurs ready to do anything and, for about ten days, let the protesters wreck the businesses, burn cars and destroy the town. After that, with the popular consensus on our side, the whine of the sirens and the ambulances should overpower the one of the Police. That means that the Police should not have mercy, and send them all to the hospital. Don’t arrest them, the judges will send them free anyway, but beat them, and beat all the teachers, too. Mostly the teachers. No the old ones, of course, but those young teachers, yes. THIS is the democratic recipe: Extinguish the flame, before the fire spreads.”

Original text in Italian:

In una sconcertante intervista al Quotidiano Nazionale, Francesco Cossiga ha dichiarato: “Maroni dovrebbe fare quel che feci ioquand’ero ministro dell’Interno. (…) Lasciarli fare. Ritirare le forze di Polizia dalle strade, infiltrare il movimento con agenti provocatori pronti a tutto, e lasciare che per una decina di giorni i manifestanti devastino i negozi, diano fuoco alle macchine e mettano a ferro e fuoco le città. Dopo di che, forti del consenso popolare, il suono delle sirene delle ambulanze dovrà sovrastare quello delle auto di Polizia e Carabinieri. Nel senso che le forze dell’ordine non dovrebbero avere pietà e mandarli tutti in ospedale. Non arrestarli, che tanto poi i magistrati li rimetterebbero subito in libertà, ma picchiarli e picchiare anche quei docenti che li fomentano. Soprattutto i docenti. Non dico quelli anziani, certo, ma le maestre ragazzine sì… questa è la ricetta democratica: spegnere la fiamma prima che divampi l’incendio”.

Former (late) President Francesco Cossiga explains how to act against a demonstration.

Today, in Rome (Italy), the movement rapidly degenerated in a mass riot, with damages done to the city, bank windows destroyed and vast clashes with the Police.

But, WHY?

Simple. If you are a government, and half a million of people are PEACEFULLY on the streets protesting you, you are afraid of the spreading of the ideas… So, what do you do?

You try to ruin the spirit of the movement, infiltrating some individuals that start to do damage, big time. So, then, when the demonstration has turned “Violent”, you can call in the Police to attack and disperse the peaceful protesters, showing them to the world as violent criminals.

Well, this time it didn’t work all that well, because the people were siding with the police, and MANY of the violent individuals have been identified as part of a right extremist movement, called “Casa Pound” that have been knows to act as provocators during popular movements.

This is a known strategy, explained in detail by the late president Francesco Cossiga.

(AP)  ROME — Italian police fired tear gas and water cannons Saturday in Rome as violent protesters turned a demonstration against corporate greed into a riot, smashing shop and bank windows, torching cars and hurling bottles.

The protest in the Italian capital, which left dozens injured, was part of the “Occupy Wall Street” demonstrations against capitalism and austerity measures that went global Saturday.

Tens of thousands nicknamed “the indignant” marched in major cities across Europe, as protests that began in New York linked up with long-running demonstrations against government cost-cutting and failed financial policies in Europe.

Heavy smoke billowed into the air in downtown Rome as a small group broke away from the main demonstration and wreaked havoc in streets close to the Colosseum.

Clad in black with their faces covered, protesters threw rocks, bottles and incendiary devices at banks and Rome police in riot gear. Some protesters had clubs, others had hammers. They destroyed bank ATMs, set trash bins on fire and assaulted at least two news crews from Sky Italia.

TV footage showed police in riot gear charging the protesters and firing water cannons at them. Several police forces and protesters were injured, including one man trying to stop the protesters from throwing bottles. TV footage showed a young woman with blood covering her face, while the ANSA news agency said one man had lost two fingers when a firecracker exploded.

In the city’s St. John in Lateran square, police vans came under attack, with protesters hurling rocks and cobblestones and smashing the vehicles. One police van was set ablaze, but the two people inside were able to abandon the vehicle. Peaceful demonstrators who could not leave the square climbed up the staircase outside the Basilica, one of the oldest in Rome.

Rome Mayor Gianni Alemanno blamed the violence on “a few thousand thugs from all over Italy, and possibly from all over Europe.” He said some Rome museums were forced to close down because of the violence.

Some protesters also trashed offices of the Defense Ministry and set them on fire, causing the roof to collapse, reports said.

Police were out in force as up to 100,000 protesters had been expected a day after Premier Silvio Berlusconi barely survived a confidence vote in Parliament. Italy, which has a national debt ratio second only to Greece in the 17-nation eurozone, is rapidly becoming a focus of concern in Europe’s debt crisis.

“People of Europe: Rise Up!” read one banner in Rome. Some peaceful demonstrators turned against the violent group and tried to stop them, hurling bottles, Sky Italia and ANSA said. Others fled, scared by the raw violence.

ANSA said four people from an anarchist group were arrested early Saturday morning, with police seizing helmets, anti-gas masks, clubs and hundreds of bottles from their car.

Elsewhere, bright autumn sunshine and a social media campaign brought out thousands across Europe.
