On August 10, 2011, the hacker group “Anonymous” announced that it would join the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations. That’s what sparked my interest in monitoring #OccupyWallStreet.
I reached out to a colleague and asked if he would be interested in studying the protest with me. At first, it seemed disorganized, and we believed it would only be a few hundred protestors.
As we engaged in monitoring its growth, we recruited other people to help us begin the collection of data available via social media. We began mapping out key players, and monitored Anonymous’s efforts to organize protests in the San Francisco Bay area public transportation system (#opBART) in order to detect patterns and key influencers.
Then, at the end of August, we were alerted by a fellow researcher that information about USDoR (U.S. Day of Rage, to which Occupy Wall Street is connected) had been posted on Shamuk and Al-Jahad, two Al-Qaeda recruitment sites. We began to take the “Occupy” protest more seriously, and dedicated more time to research and monitoring.
Days later, Anonymous announced that it would be releasing its new DDOS (Distributed Denial of Service) tool. Because of the Al-Qaeda posting, we contacted the New York Field Office of the FBI so they could investigate the potential threat. From that point on, we decided we needed to include the Human Element of Intelligence (HUMINT), and to infiltrate the protestors to map their ties to Anonymous, and to the postings on Shamuk and Al-Jahad.
MSM keeps trying to tell us that the whole thing is just a quickly organized grass roots movement of college kids. And if you try to prove otherwise, you're labled as a conspiracy kook.

MOgal, do you think that the picture of Beck on you post has kept left leaning people from speaking out on this thread? I think there is too much info about the Occupy people in NightFlight's OP to allow them to do anything until they get some info about how to react from the "leaders". That is scary stuff but then the MSM and the left leaders are holding them back.
Beck has been talking about all this crap for at least two years and the MSM has done a great job of holding the info back. I know there are some left leaners here who have been taken in who would back off if they knew any of the stuff in either of your posts. Not every one of them can be controlled as completely as this stuff needs them to be but too many of them want to be involved in the right - left talking because it is kind of fun.
I am sending both posts to a friend who is a blogger and will learn a pile from the archives. He will report to me either directly or on his blog. We have to make this stuff as well known as possible as soon as possible.
It's amazing that someone like Breitbart can easily obtain this info but the huge, big money, fully staffed MSM can't do it. [or don't want to do it?]
Do you think we'll see any of this in the NY Times?

Yes, the media is definitely suppressing this information, the groups behind OWS.
The media will do whatever it takes to get obama reelected.
This thread has been here for over 9 hours and there is no reply from anyone with just a tiny bit of left lean. I wonder if they are waiting to get their orders from their blogs or other leaders. It is surely fishy smelling.

They are ignoring the truth, just as the MSM is ignoring and suppressing the truth.

It appears the left leaning protest supporters can't handle the reality about what is going on. This entire thing is the conclusion of the class warfare prep we've been witnessing by Obama and his communist minions. Collapse the economy and blame it on the evil rich and watch the fools run wild. Now the orator is endorsing the 99%. What a shock..........NOT.
I think your right the planned riots are on schedule. Left handers will of course defend it all and blame everyone else. Who will they blame when the Constitution will be put on the shelf and the elections suspended? I'm guessing they will support that too.
