Wishy Warshy Dems ARE lining up behind Del-Sell-0ut

apparently DelBene's hubby is some Microsoft big shot with shitloads of money, and, unless you live in the Pacified Northwest, it is impossible to describe the spineless, craven cowering to all things Microsoft, Paul Allen, Billy The Great Gate$, Bezos -

although, clearly, if you and I were successful like the right people in the right 'hoods with the right jobs - well, we'd live in the right 'hoods and have the right jobs TOO! and then we'd know what the successful people know, and we'd know why our successful conventional wisdom isn't ... lapdog groupthink.

The Washington Education Association endorsed Del-Sell-0ut cuz ... she'll be real good telling us all about the latest austerity horseshit destroying community investment ...? Too many teacher "leaders" are political naifs who can be made comfy with a seat at the kidde table as long as they have their "Politics For Teletubbies" manual, their spork, their sippy cup, their bib and their mush?

A must read

A new trove of heavily redacted documents provided by the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed by the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund (PCJF) on behalf of filmmaker Michael Moore and the National Lawyers Guild makes it increasingly evident that there was and is a nationally coordinated campaign to disrupt and crush the Occupy Movement.
The new documents, which PCJF National Director Mara Verheyden-Hilliard insists "are likely only a subset of responsive materials," in the possession of federal law enforcement agencies, only "scratch the surface of a mass intelligence network including Fusion Centers, saturated with 'anti-terrorism' funding, that mobilizes thousands of local and federal officers and agents to investigate and monitor the social justice movement."
Nonetheless, blacked-out and limited though they are, she says they offer clues to the extent of the government's concern about and focus on the wave of occupations that spread across the country beginning with last September's Occupy Wall Street action in New York City.

-----

Among the documents obtained by the PCJF in this second batch of responses to its FOIA filing is one Nov. 5, 2011 from the NOC Fusion Center Desk, which collects at the federal level and then distributes the names and contact information of a group of Occupy protesters who were arrested during a demonstration in Dallas, TX against Bank of America, one of the nation's biggest predatory lenders. Although none of the seven arrested were charged with any serious crime (six were charged with "using the sidewalk!"), their names and contact information were widely disseminated by the DHS.

This is comical. Silly me, I thought that it was illegal for the U.S. Government to give misinformation to the press. (I guess I'm thinking of a movie or something.)

Given the subterfuge revealed in these documents that went into trying to create the illusion that the DHS was and is not coordinating a national campaign of spying, disruption and repression against Occupy activists, it is almost comical to find documents that show the DHS was in "direct communication with the White House" to obtain advance approval of public statements by DHS officials denying any DHS involvement in anti-Occupy actions.
