Surprise, Surprise! “Occupiers” Tied to Ohio Bomb Plot

COMMENT: When the “Occu­py” move­ment first emerged last fall, we not­ed that it appears to have had some right-wing roots, albeit ones that had assumed a “pro­gres­sive’ cov­er–AdBusters Mag­a­zine [1]. After absorb­ing a great deal of fer­til­iz­er flung this way in that con­text, we now see some­thing that was explic­it­ly fore­told [2] on these pages.

A bomb­ing plot in Ohio seems to have had some links to the “Occu­py Cleve­land” mov­ment.

In a Food For Thought post about for­mer KKK  leader David Duke’s endorse­ment of “Occu­py Wall Street,” we not­ed: 

“. . . Do not dis­count the pos­si­bil­ity that fas­cist ele­ments may either hijack the move­ment and/or dis­credit it, rather like the con­trolled demo­li­tion of the World Trade Cen­ter freaks hijacked and dis­cred­ited any notion of seri­ous inves­ti­ga­tion into the 9/11 attacks.

Might this entire phe­nom­e­non be a well-designed trap or agent-prova­ca­teur oper­a­tion from the start?
Watch out for pos­si­ble ter­ror­ist inci­dents linked to OWS and/or calls for a third par­ty, that would serve the same pur­pose as the Naderoids in 2000. . . .”

All of this is not to say that the major­i­ty of the pro­test­ers are vio­lent, how­ev­er the vul­ner­a­bil­i­ty of a move­ment like the “Occu­py” phe­nom­e­non to tac­tics of this type is not to be over­looked.

One should note, too, that ours is a cul­ture of images and sen­sa­tions, not ideas and con­cepts. What images have the broad­cast and pho­to media gleaned for us from the “Occu­py” phe­nom­e­non? Hip­pies and anar­chists loose in the streets, shril­ly slo­ga­neer­ing and, upon occa­sion, smash­ing store front win­dows and set­ting fires, as well as assault­ing cops.

This plays into the hands of the far-right/­GOP/Rom­ney. So, obvi­ous­ly, does the bomb plot in Ohio.

Stay Tuned. 

Oh, yes, don’t lose sight  of the fact that the above-men­tioned David Duke, along with pos­si­ble Third Par­ty can­di­date Ron Paul, was involved with the Nazi/KKK Coup attempt in Domini­ca in the ear­ly 1980’s. That gam­bit that led to the Euge­nia Charles gov­ern­ment of that tiny island nation ramp­ing up its mil­i­tary and muni­tions just in time to play a token role in the inva­sion of Grena­da. That top­ic was dis­cussed at length in AFA #13 [3].

 “Sus­pect in Bridge Bomb­ing Plot Signed Lease on Occu­py Cleve­land” by Michael San­gia­co­mo; The Cleve­land Plain Deal­er; 5/5/2012. [4]

EXCERPT: One of the five self-described anar­chists arrest­ed last week for attempt­ing to blow up a local bridge signed the lease for a West Side ware­house where about a dozen mem­bers of the Occu­py Cleve­land group live.

In a one-hour record­ing of a Fri­day evening gen­er­al assem­bly meet­ing of the group post­ed on its web­site http://occupycleveland.com/live-stream/, occu­py lead­ers expressed con­cern about Antho­ny Hayne’s name being on the lease, which strength­ens his link to the group.

“We have a per­son fac­ing ter­ror­ism charges on the lease of our ware­house,” said one of the lead­ers. “If this gets into the media, it would be a dis­as­ter.”

When announc­ing the arrests last week of Hayne and four oth­er men, fed­er­al author­i­ties described them as mem­bers of a rad­i­cal fringe of Occu­py Cleve­land. the five remain in jail with court appear­ances sched­uled for Mon­day.

Hayne, 35, of Cleve­land, has a crim­i­nal record dat­ing to 2000. He was one of five men arrest­ed by the FBI and charged with set­ting fake explo­sive charges under the Ohio 82 bridge between Sag­amore Hills Town­ship and Brecksville Mon­day night.

An FBI affi­davit said Hayne helped plan the bomb­ing attempt. It also said he was one of a group that last Sun­day picked up a duf­fel bag con­tain­ing smoke grenades and gas masks, as well as two black box­es that the sus­pects thought con­tained bombs. . . .
