It could happen here:

When I read about the possibility of members of the Occupy movement being targeted for elimination, it reminded me of how this type of operation is carried out in the real World.
This documentary is from Britain, and it involves the true story of how Her Majesty's Services targeted Republicans (IRA) in Northern Ireland. The people are not the same as Occupy, but the methodology is much the same as would have been used against those associated with Occupy. This is called:Tradecraft. There is much you can learn here about how to protect yourself.

No one in the Occupy Movement was ever targeted for elimination. Not sure what else to say about this other than it is ridiculous!

Enjoy what? Obviously there was nothing to the report or we would have found out about it...There would be dead Occupy Protestors everywhere!! I don't doubt for a minute there were reports of violence against Occupy Protestors but I do not buy the idea that there was this highly organized plot aimed at the Occupy crowd & the FBI simply chose not to worry about it. Sorry, but that is almost laughable. Plus, what exactly did the Occupy Protestors do that would have even warranted such a plot? It almost sounds like folks are taking unsubstantiated reports & trying to inflate the severity in order to make Occupy seem to have been more important than it actually was.

Look, I would need to hear much more about this than a 2 minute clip of hearsay.

One page FBI document that reports of a threat of sniper attack on OW. However, my entire point is there was obviously not much to the threat & that one paragraph on one page of an FBI document is in no way enough info to claim OW had this well organized highly trained hit squad hunting them like many are saying or implying. It was probably idiots running their mouths or whatever & upon further investigation the FBI decided there was not much to it.
