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. After absorbing a great deal of fertilizer flung this way in that context, we now see something that was explicitly foretold 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.
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. . . .
“If this gets into the media, it would be a disaster.” — spoken by one of the ‘leaders’ to, presumably, the media. You have to laugh.
Republican operatives + spook central + Occupy Wall Street + agent provacateurs + Stand Your Ground Law = the August Republican National Convention in Tampa.
Watch out.
[...] Surprise, Surprise! “Occupiers” Tied to Ohio Bomb Plot [...]
In any case, Dave, your foreshadowing has honestly been pretty much on the money, sad to say. While it does appear that OWS has for now, managed to deflect most of the hardcore infiltrators, I do wonder how much more damage could be done before it’s all said and done?
@GrumpusRex: I definitely am somewhat concerned. If agents provocateur of any stripe manage to pull something off, this could potentially hurt the Dems to a point; probably not to the point of Romney actually winning but certainly enough to possibly create a notable setback for the Democrats.
@Dwight: It’s important to remember that the Establishment has been gunning for OWS ever since the NYC General Assembly got started.....and that CoIntelPro contributed a great deal to the effort to destroy both the Civil Rights and the anti-war movements back in the ’60s. One must wonder if a modern version may be at work with individuals like Wolf Blitzer, and Glenn Beck, as the mouthpieces, and orgs. like WorldNetDaily and the ever omnipresent Faux News as the Volksempfängers of a type, so to speak.
Certainly, I hope Dave can go further into detail on this stuff.
@Grumpusrex: It looks like we almost had to add ‘murderous neo-nazis’ to the list of fun things facing Florida’s RNC convention this fall. And this group apparently had plans to attack a group of anarchists during a Florida May Day protest. It’s a convergence of awfulness:
Also, everyone, please google “Lies, damned lies & antisemitism at Occupy Wall Street”, and the Mother Jones piece “How Occupy Wall Street Really Got Started” in case they don’t show up on here.
“On Wednesday, an attorney representing one of the defendants questioned the role of an undercover informant, saying the ex-con hired by the FBI appeared to have played an active role in the plot.
Cleveland defense lawyer John Pyle said the case could be one of “the tail wagging the dog.” He said his client, Brandon Baxter, will plead not guilty in the case, which is set for a preliminary hearing next week.
Much of a 22-page FBI affidavit outlining the charges was based on the work of the undercover operative, who has drug, robbery and bad check convictions.
“We need to get the discovery and put the case under a microscope,” Pyle said. “But just on the basis on the filing in the court, there’s some indicators that this informant was playing a really active role.””

In 2011 Adbusters featured Can Life Prevail. In case haven’t heard of Pentti Linkola.
He would be happy no matter who dies, if they spend nature’s resources. He has called the attack UK and USA did to Germany in the WWII as humanity’s worst genocide because it used so much nature’s resources according to him compared to what Nazis did with their concentration camps and glorifies how they re-used human parts.
In his ideal world people wouldn’t move even inside a country and should just live where they were born. He would be glad if every third world would just starve to death, reason why he is against any aid that would help people not getting killed and in development. I think it’s just a bit hard to separate that to its own stand from just him being cunt to everyone that doesn’t live like him. Like he has said every terrorist attack is good because people die and any attack against western life style is good for nature. He really hates USA too and if some ebola would spread there he’d have a good day.
