(Challis, Idaho) — In a surprising and unprecedented move, the Idaho Republican Party has taken a strong stance against the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), by passing a resolution a condemning the “corrupt government agency” and calling for its abolition if it is deemed that the agency cannot be reformed.
The resolution passed unanimously out of the body which is comprised of 216 elected Republican representatives, contained a laundry list of excesses, abuses, and unconstitutional overreaches which the resolution alleges has “undermined the trust that the American people have in their government.”
The resolution outlines some of the most egregious of these abuses, COINTELPRO, a counter intelligence program carried out by the FBI between 1956 and 1971 which “illegally surveilled, infiltrated, and disrupted civil rights activists, political dissidents, and other individuals considered a threat to national security.”
Even the ACLU has condemned COINTELPRO, saying “intrusive surveillance tools originally developed to target Soviet spies are increasingly being used against Americans.”
The FBI is also responsible for the escalation of racial conflict in the 1960’s and 70’s, when paid FBI informant Gary Thomas Rowe Jr. instigated a shootout between the KKK and the Freedom Riders, murdered civil rights activist Viola Liuzzo, and blew up a church in Birmingham Alabama which left 4 African-American children dead.
At the same time as the Church Hearings, the FBI struck up a working relationship with notorious Boston crime boss James “Whitey” Bulger.
Bulger’s relationship with the FBI led to his total monopoly on crime in the Boston area, as the Bureau essentially took out all of Bulger’s competition for him.
Hitting even closer to home, the resolution discusses “the FBI siege of a cabin in Ruby Ridge, Idaho in 1992, which resulted in the unnecessary deaths of Vicky and Sammy Weaver as well as a U.S. Marshal due to excessive use of force and revised rules of engagement promulgated by the FBI.”
More recently, the FBI has unconstitutionally violated the rights of concerned parents who have been outspoken at school board meetings.
what effect can 2% have on a population...
No mention of FISA abuse and spying on TRUMP? No Cross Fire hurricaine?
Wow, you moderates can’t stand it if Republicans actually do anything? Even if it is symbolic? It sends a message.
It was just the party, not one of the legislative bodies?
Another “gesture” by a state government but maybe the Idaho state government should ban the FBI from any and all operations within it’s borders, close and kick-out all IBI personnel.
I guess they were trying to keep the article short. But the resolution does mention Trump:
WHEREAS the FBI has been weaponized against President Donald J. Trump, by raiding Mar- A-Lago at the unethical,
politically motivated behest of Attorney General Merrick Garland
1 out of 50. Still a ways to go.
A netflix show on killer searches had the olympic bombing and the agents involved still basically white washing their treatment of Jewell as being ok.
Articles of secession would be better.
The FBI are willingly addicted to running false flags.
Those in other states should copy the resolution & submit it to their GOP associations. Idaho just got the ball rolling...
The FBI is operating in Post Falls as the Patriot Front. So, I don’t want to hear Idaho denouncing the FBI when they allow them to perform illegal operations in their State.
Surprised me and I live here. I didn’t know they had the testicular fortitude to do this. It probably won’t last.
that was sarcasm... sorry for not including your sign./sarc
Well, the GOP doesn’t have the means to stop them. It would be nice if the Gov & the legislature would do something. I wonder if they’re even aware of what’s going on sometimes.
I would love for a state to kick out the Feds. Escort them to the border.
A thousand mile journey begins with one first step.
Hopefully the smarmy, smirking, arrogant head of the FBI Christopher Wray will squirm a little upon hearing this news.
The Feds are like an old drunken uncle, who moves in and won’t leave. All they do is screw things up and annoy you plus costing you money. Sucks is the best word I can think of. IMO
