Even as average Americans were planning to get out in towns and cities to demonstrate against Big Government and Big Taxes, Federal Bureau of Intelligence Investigation (FBI) surveillance was being unleashed upon them. In fact, unsuspecting Tax Day TEA Party participants were being closely watched during the demonstration planning stages in a covert operation that began on or about March 23, 2009.
If you one of the estimated 750,000 Americans who attended one of about 600 TEA parties last week, you might have seen media cameras covering the event. Media cameras, however, were not the only cameras taking video at these events, something that has at least one current FBI agent concerned over the future of America. According to this agent - the same agent who provided the Northeast Intelligence Network (NEIN) exclusively the unreleased photographs of the 11 missing Egyptian students who were the subject of a FBI BOLO in August 2006–placed his concerns for true patriots of the U.S. over his own career when he confided that covert surveillance was “planned and performed” at each of the TEA parties that took place last Tuesday.

You said — I just smiled and waved and went back to holding up my sign street side for the people in vehicles to read as they waited for the stoplight to change.

Let me tell you what gets them upset... LOL..
You have a SLR with a big lens on it and you *obviously* point it back at them and start shooting pictures of them... They *really* don’t like that...
They just might be ALL OVER the country, and the FBI is taking pictires of Tea Parties? They better get on the stick!!!
LOL.
Personally, I can care less — it’s a public spot at a public event and anyone can take your photo — that’s real life.
It’s like posting on the internet — nothing is private.
Oh..., and another thing, too... You should always have a bunch of people in your group with cameras. Some with video and sound and some with stills. Make sure you’ve got a bunch of tape and/or cards for both kinds.
Have the people with cameras be prepared to take pictures of any altercations of any kind. Make sure some people are visibly taking pictures while others are out of the way, and not within reach of the immediate people around there.
If they are the authorities who are hassling, then make sure you are ready with some replacement cards and/or tapes for your camera. Once you get a certain amount shot, take the card out and replace it and give the card to someone else. Switch them frequently, because the authorities will take the camera and erase the pictures or simply confiscate the card and/or camera.
This way you can get the card and/or tape out of there without it being confiscated.
That’s just some hints on how to deal with these things... :-)

Yep, that’s right and that’s why I like to do that... LOL...
It’s like they think that the picture-taking only works “one way”... and I like to show them it works “two ways”... :-)
I did see a couple of dregs roaming around, wearing hoods. Probably a couple of leftists trying to get an idea as to what we were up to. They looked decidedly uninterested in the event, but were taking a few pictures anyway. I took theirs as well (I took over 350 pictures - I think I got just about everybody that was there).
The news media was there including 2 TV stations, a radio station, the local paper, PJTV, and perhaps others. We had a couple of videographers and 2 or 3 still cameras working as well.
We could easily double the number next time
I doubt they could be at each and every tea party, there were many in small towns too.
Funny how we go to (a) CANADA FREE PRESS for news—we don’t seem to have one here :(
does this sound like a Debka story?

Ummmm..., we’ve got our secret intel contacts too... :-)
Oh yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Idiots!!!
Canada Free Press is a conservative opinion site, not a “news” site.
Well of course they are monitoring potiential mutations they cannot control.

Can you imagine how many agents it took to watch all us college kids in the late 60s and early 70s... LOL...
I’m wondering how many FBI agents will have to place themselves on the watch list?
I mean - they can’t ALL be flaming libs right?
Oh yeah..., I don’t know how “they” were fooled back then, but I guess they were. But, everyone got to see what the Cold War was like, and the “Duck and Cover” drills in school and people buying the bomb shelters to put in their homes and/or yards... :-)
And living under the M.A.D. doctrine... (Mutually Assured Destruction). That’s still in effect by the way, but just not spoken about very much. It’s an illusion that it’s not in effect — the missiles could fly just as quick now as they could have 30 years ago (give or take a few years...).
There was some tangible stuff that you could see that was a big problem...
: )
I don’t know about comparing Duck and Cover to life under Communism. I remember meeting a great aunt and uncle who gave my mom a bag of raw eggs as a present because that was all they could afford. I remember my father’s car being taken apart as my sister and I were taken away at gun point...nope Cover and Duck at school does not compare to life behind the Iron Curtain. Sorry, NOT! ; )
