FBI Spied on Tea Partiers
Canada Free Press/ECR ^ | 20 Apr 09 | EC

Posted on 04/20/2009 6:11:52 PM PDT by nysuperdoodle

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.

I am sad to hear you did not go because you were afraid of a bunch of liberal yahoos trying to intimidate you. They never said that being a patriot was easy. We have a constitution. We have a set of principles in which this country was founded and outlined. To stand up for those principles with family, with neighbors, with country men and women in a peaceful fashion is nothing to hide or be ashamed of.

If this is true as written, it is the Obama administration that has shame and egg on their face not you. You can't run anyway because if you post on a blog or even a website with any strong conviction (and they are hunting these types down) and this is true that patriots are being spied on they will know who you are anyway.

Eventually if you cower you will find yourself living in a closet and finding it roomy. Hell no. This is America. We live in the land of the free and demand that our constitution, founding principles, and civil rights are honored. We also have the right to stand up for being robbed and having government try to take over our lives and livelihoods. Shoot away libbies. You shame our forefathers and the principles upon which our country was founded. We should all be proud that showed up and stood up.

Does anyone know if the FBI does the same to G20 (or is it G8?) protesters, or any other “anti” government protest?

I engaged one in a conversation about their camera and their lens. A cameraman (or woman) always knows what they are shooting on--at least the ones with the big as- lens :-D. I always watch the cameramen and can tell. But this report said out of the view of law enforcement which tells me they may have been shooting covertly if this is true. This would mean they would be a a distinct distance and possibly in a vehicle.

At what point will you decide to fight? That freedom of speech thing? Use it or lose it.

Of course they have. If you counter protest you have already been watched.

I mentioned in a thread earlier today that I have heard from several sources that attendees to the Tea Parties were video taped, and photographed. Both incidents I heard about stated that DHS was the group doing the taping/pics.

No big deal, they were always hanging around at militia meetings back in the clintoon era. We weren't doing anything wrong then, and we still aren't. They usually stick out, if you pay attention.

We don't have any reason to do anything illegal, until they start rewriting the laws! Shake their hands and introduce yourself, it rattles the crap out of them!

Okay, FBI, we’re waiting. List the OTHER demonstrations in which you have recently filmed participants. I’m sure they included the No on Prop 8 (save gay marriage) rallies, the anti war protests, all Code Pink, Move On and ACORN events. After all, this is transparency, and not intimidation? Right? FBI?

.... crickets....

Then the FBI is spying on itself. Law enforcement, by nature, is conservative. While the appointees can be facists, I seroiusly doubt that many of the rank and file are. I did notice a lot of people taking pictures. Next time, I’ll take pictures of the people taking pictures to post them on line. Two can play that game.

I posted this account on another thread right after the event:

PICS FROM THE ATLANTA TEA PARTY!!! Thu Apr 16 07:31:29 2009 · 57 of 83 Howie to TXnMA The one that interviewd me was filming the sign in the photo above, he stuck the camera in my face so close I thought he was gonna hit me. He asked "did you draw this, are you local, what is the main reason you are protesting today, what one question would you ask the president if you could?" I replied I am here to protest the obvious socialization of my country. My one question to Obama would be "are you an illegal alien or do you really have a birth certificate that you are hiding?" I then asked him who he was and he grinned and left saying "just a concerned citizen"

I was watching this guy, he had the only lens bigger than mine at the rally. He never used a shorter lens any time I was watching, and I never saw him talking to people or taking notes.

I was up on the rise close to the moat, I could see almost everywhere.

Spy away. It won’t change my opinions at all. Objecting to government policy is not illegal.

According to this article, the FBI is surveiling this website... as a potential “organizer” of tea parties.

“Spy away. It won’t change my opinions at all. Objecting to government policy is not illegal.”

Indeed... And frankly, it would be good for us if the Obamanites arrested a few protesters.
