"Karen Sullivan" babysat their kids, chaired their committee meetings, and even balanced their books. All the while, she was working for the FBI and spying on the people that called her friend. On Wednesday the Anti-War Committee which was a target of the FBI raids on September 24, 2010, revealed that FBI informant "Karen Sullivan" had infiltrated the group two-and-a-half years ago. She was involved in most major committee work, had a key to the office (used by the FBI on September 24) and had worked on the financial accounts. Jess Sundin, one of the committees founders and the other people rounded jp in the September 24 raid were outraged at this violation. It is the very type of operation scorned by the Dept.of Justice Inspector General in an October. 2010 report. One of the most egregious actions was her volunteering for fund raising and planning for a trip for peace activists for a trip to a US listed NGO in Palestine. Sullivan even accompanied two people on the trip apparently warning Israeli authorities of the planned visit. Sullivan returned immediately to the US, the other two were detained overnight and interrogated about who they were going to see. The two activists returned to Minneapolis on August 4, 2010. The subpoenas to the Chicago grand jury are still in force and three people may be ordered to Chicago on January 25, the date of a planned national protest about the FBI actions.

"According to reports, it seems that the investigation of U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald is focused on small donations to the daycare and women’s center projects of the Union of Palestinian Women's Committees, an NGO registered with the Palestinian Authority, with local offices in towns across the West Bank and Gaza. The Union is a progressive women's organization that strives to build respect for women's rights.

“It has become apparent to us that this delegation, and some of the fundraising work done to support it, is of great concern to the U.S. attorney’s office in Chicago. In order to help fund the travel of the three women from Minneapolis - including Officer Sullivan - and to send a token symbol of solidarity to the Palestinian people, a series of fundraisers were organized. We were very open about our work to support the Union of Palestinian Women’s Committees, which is an NGO registered with the Palestinian Authority, and which is not illegal under Israeli or international law,” said Sundin."

2. Read this book: Agents of Repression

The FBI was created by the Elites to protect the Elites. Nothing has changed.

5. Its own entity.

The President has little or nothing to do with the direction of the FBI.

9. Good question

I often ask myself that same question I also contemplate what Hunter S. Thompson or Bill Hicks would have to say about Americas current state of affairs.

For a living intellectual comedians perspective please refer to Sam Seder, Marc Maron, Bill Burr.
