Free Republic and Daily Cal Want War with Anti-Capitalists
Please read below. I do not suggest any actions besides a discussion within our community about these problems. The lesson is that COINTELPRO has created problems that persist to this day. We have learned from these lessons.
Please remember that COINTELPRO was a successful disruption strategy which was encouraged (and directly committed) by the United States Government, Berkeley police, Oakland police, San Francisco police, California state authorities. Please remember that the jury is currently out on the Judi Bari trial, where startling revelations about the extent of political monitoring conducted by OPD were revealed.
For more information on COINTELPRO, please see:
http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/FBI/WarAtHome_page.html
In the interest of open, public security culture, I am posting this information here for public discussion and public archiving.
1. People using the name of SmashTheLeft and JoJo Gunn have been making a concerted effort to disrupt this website:
http://www2.bestofberkeley.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/000634.html
2. This includes public threats of violence against individuals who work with SF Indymedia:
http://www2.bestofberkeley.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/000695.html
3. For more information on SmashTheLeft and JoJo Gunn, see:
http://www.indybay.org/news/2002/05/127789.php
4. The Free Republic website has this thread discussing violence, sabotage and disruption targeting the Golden Gate Bridge protest where police beat and pepper-sprayed a crowd of people peacefully assembled exercising their constitutional rights:
http://freerepublic.com/focus/news/677632/posts
5. The above information was submitted by Rory Miller, who currently lives at UC-Berkeley but is probably spending time at his parents' house near Sacramento, in lieu of getting a job and supporting himself. More information about Rory Miller can be found here:
http://www.indybay.org/news/2002/03/118992_comment.php
http://www.indybay.org/news/2002/05/126363.php
6. Rory Miller will be re-locating to Los Angeles soon to attend UCLA's law school.
7. The Free Republic website is operated from Fresno by Jim Robinson. His phone number is publicly available on the internet.
These individuals acting on their own can have the same effects of a government-sponsored cointelpro program. We should recognize the problem publicly. We should discuss hypothetical solutions. We should not publicly discuss specific solutions.

She seems to be a normal person who probably isn't aware of the red squad violent anti-freedom streak that her new business partner has ... and her son is adorable. Tami, Jim's not the kind of guy you want to make a huge life commitment with, like starting a business.

That seems like a very nasty thing to do. Arent there any rules at sfindymedia against this stupidness? Why does anyone put up with such sickness? This anarchohacker fellow is bad for this place.
Plus, who really knows if the criminal is telling the truth? Hackers suck.

All the freerepublic urls that pointed to their forum threads of been deleted, and they come here talking about US "censoring?" These guys are the biggest bunch of hypocritcal pigs I've ever seen. This article should be placed on the front page so that these assholes can continue to be expossed.
Did anybody copy these threads? If so, would you please post some choice quotes?
On the internet, nothing is ever "deleted right away" ... please see Google cache for the exciting details:

Someone should copy this and mirror it somewhere, then it will never go away. Google's cache will eventually expire.

In the meantime, let’s look at one of the highlights.
>As for me I would just as soon drive over them. They claim to be pacifists so why not give them the death they wish for themselves and others. I know there would be a prosecution for doing this but it may just be worth it. NO I am not envouraging anyone actually do this just do not put up with them in your way give them a fair chance to get out from under your wheels if they refuse to take rational action then roll over them if they engage in violence then terminate them.

Excerpts:
>Location: Oak Ridge
Who am I?
Wasn't that a Jackie Chan movie?
Well, if it isn't obvious (and maybe if it is), my name is Bob. Well, it's actually Robert, but that's hard for some people to pronounce, let alone remember. I finally realized that I was a conservative, after years of doing my best to ignore it.
Ex Military (ten years in the US Air Force). Currently divorced (are there any single Freeper women in the Oak Ridge area?), and a custodial father (rare duck, I know) of a beautiful 8 year old daughter. I'm also a student, working on my degree in computer science, and I'm also a part-time student worker at the college help desk.

The M-60 is banned from purchase or ownership by any average American citizen. A special classification federal firearms license is required for owning any fully automatic firearms.
The m-60 pictured above is a weapon of war. Designed and constructed for the military only.
The round or bullet you see belted in the photo is however available to the public. Fitting several systems designed for public use.

Well well, just as i thought, these right-wing idiots are fat middle aged white guys living alone in their creepy apartments, are we supposed to be afraid of them? haha, they've never been in a fight in their entire creepy lives
>I wonder what else this guy and I have in common.
Main things you don't have in common:
1) Bob has a job
2) See #1

It was produced in small numbers for sale to collectors (who else would pay $2500 for a semi auto M-60). Think of it as a REALLY big M1A rifle with a HUGE clip (nyuck).
It's not an apartment, it's a house. And yes, I've been in a few fights in my life. And I'm not alone - I have sole custody of my daughter.
Why would you want to be afraid of me? Do I represent a threat to you somehow? I find that rather laughable.
