Heck! This is deja vue...
Back in my college days, the FBI was supposed to be snooping on students doing this and doing that, too... (at least that’s what I heard through the grapevine; you wouldn’t expect the FBI to confirm it would you? ...).
There was even one time when I was told that an FBI file was being “opened” on me, “that day” — and a call was going into Washington DC on the matter... LOL...
In my case, all they would have to do is open up the file again... LOL...
Supposedly, the Defense Dept watched the antiwar rallies during the Bush years. “They” are probably always watching ANY large demonstrations.
