FBI Spied on Tea Party Protesters

I served 11 years in the United States Army. I have been paying taxes since I was 16. I have not once collected unemployment or any other government benefit. Now, I'm being treated like an enemy of the State.

The FBI were spying on Tea Party protesters nationwide during last week’s demonstrations as part of a covert program conducted without the knowledge of local law enforcement, according to a source named as a current FBI agent.

The Northeast Intelligence Network reports that a concerned unnamed FBI agent risked his career in blowing the whistle on the fact that Tea Party protesters were subject to covert surveillance.

The FBI agent allegedly told Doug Haggman, “The Department of Homeland Security Intelligence Assessment that is receiving so much attention is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg, and the true patriotic citizens of this country are on the Titanic. This is what bothers me. But is goes far beyond that assessment. There have been very significant changes made over the last few years that redirect the focus and assets of the intelligence community internally. These changes have greatly accelerated under this administration, and the threats have been redefined to include those who used to be patriots. It’s not only chilling but absolutely insulting to God-fearing Americans.”

The source claims that a single page FBI directive was dispatched from FBI headquarters in Washington DC on March 23 requesting that Special Agents in Charge (SACs) “verify the date, time and location of each TEA Party within their region and supply that information to FBI headquarters in Washington.”

Agents were then instructed to compile information on the organizers of the different protests and also send the information back to FBI headquarters. On April 6, they were subsequently asked to conduct covert surveillance and data collection of the protesters attending the Tea Party demonstrations. Surveillance was to be performed from “discreet fixed or mobile positions” and was to be performed “independently and outside of the purview of local law enforcement,” according to the source.
Ok. Perhaps the FBI should be more concerned with these folks. Muppet ass gangstas pose an immediate threat.

Is this how pathetic democrats sounded when George Bush was in the white house?

Look, I am unhappy with taxes too. We all are. Sadly, under the anti-Americal values torture advocate Bush administration, we handed out all the bailouts to banks. Now we have to hand out more so the system doesn't collapse.

Check your recent history, friend.

It is a disaster, but to blame the current President who has been in office for just over 100 days seems a bit shortsighted.

Tea parties? Wow, that's effective. How about a tax revolt? Would that make you happy?

The only difference between liberals and conservatives is that when liberals complain, they whine, "I'm moving to France." When Conservatives complain they whine, "I'm moving to... er... COMMUNIST!"

It is time to work together and build something here people. Look for your similarities and not your differences. Let's make the country great again. Fighting over antiquated ideologies is stupid.

Wouldn't want to address the issue at hand would you? Of course not. You can't. "Work together"...Precious. People are protesting their hard-earned money, and the money their children will have, being GIVEN to people with no desire to work and you're hollering for people to "work together"...You're cute...Now shut the fuck up you ignorant anonymous troll.

Psst...Bush isn't President anymore...Just thought I'd point that out.
