Como os bancos e o FBI coordenaram a repressão contra o OWS

Revealed: how the FBI coordinated the crackdown on Occupy, por Naomi Wolf (The Guardian):
It was more sophisticated than we had imagined: new documents show that the violent crackdown on Occupy last fall – so mystifying at the time – was not just coordinated at the level of the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, and local police. The crackdown, which involved, as you may recall, violent arrests, group disruption, canister missiles to the skulls of protesters, people held in handcuffs so tight they were injured, people held in bondage till they were forced to wet or soil themselves –was coordinated with the big banks themselves.

The Partnership for Civil Justice Fund, in a groundbreaking scoop that should once more shame major US media outlets (why are nonprofits now some of the only entities in America left breaking major civil liberties news?), filed this request. The document – reproduced here in an easily searchable format – shows a terrifying network of coordinated DHS, FBI, police, regional fusion center, and private-sector activity so completely merged into one another that the monstrous whole is, in fact, one entity: in some cases, bearing a single name, the Domestic Security Alliance Council. And it reveals this merged entity to have one centrally planned, locally executed mission. The documents, in short, show the cops and DHS working for and with banks to target, arrest, and politically disable peaceful American citizens.

The documents, released after long delay in the week between Christmas and New Year, show a nationwide meta-plot unfolding in city after city in an Orwellian world: six American universities are sites where campus police funneled information about students involved with OWS to the FBI, with the administrations' knowledge (p51); banks sat down with FBI officials to pool information about OWS protesters harvested by private security; plans to crush Occupy events, planned for a month down the road, were made by the FBI – and offered to the representatives of the same organizations that the protests would target;

Vejam o filme "the life of others" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0405094/

É interessante que 20 anos depois de o Muro cair ainda seja preciso fazer filmes onde os vilões são espiões oriundos dos países do socialismo real.

Embora haja provavelmente menos agentes do FBI/CIA do que houve em tempos informadores na Stasi ou mesmo na PIDE, neste post está a prova cabal do reverso da medalha da "sociedade da informação": a incrível capacidade de o Poder antever qualquer jogada revolucionária e facilmente a neutralizar. Ainda para mais em conluio com empresas privadas. E o OWS não esteve perto de conseguir coisa nenhuma, imaginem se a coisa tivesse ido mais longe...

Parece-me que hoje um acto revolucionário no cinema dos dias de hoje seria recriar um "the life of others" focado na capacidade de controlo que existe na internet. Em Hollywood está fora de questão, nem o "mercado livre", nem o seu aparato ideológico não permitiriam tal coisa; mas nem só em Hollywood se faz cinema.
