FBI officer speaks at law school, lists Indymedia, Food Not Bombs, Communist Party of Texas on “Terrorist Watch List.”

It’s difficult to understand such cluelessness. But given this, it’s no wonder FBI hasn’t found any actual terrorists.

Indymedia has an open publishing policy - and FBI officials reading this should write this down - to determine what IndyMedia is doing, FBI should go to their websites and read them. Nope, no terrorists here. The genuinely scary thing though is, in addition to their blundering surveillance, that FBI clearly doesn’t understand the territory it is monitoring.

Foods not Bombs gives away food for free to whoever wants it. Were this the 60’s, they’d have been hippies. Here’s a tip for the FBI: Vegetarian peaceniks practicing non-violent civil disobedience are not generally known to be terrorists.

The Communist Party USA has backed the Democrat presidential candidate for decades against any third party candidate, which doesn’t sound real radical or revolutionary to me. Again, not a terrorist threat.

Orwellian incompetence is a bad mixture indeed.

A bill proposed in December [by Rep. Sensenbrenner (R-W)] could criminalize charity workers and others who help undocumented immigrants.

The bill declares that immigrants illegally in the United States are felons. It previously was a non-criminal matter. Felons are barred from later becoming citizens.

The legislation authorizes police to enforce immigration laws and would abolish visa programs, which helped bring in non-sponsored immigrants into the U.S.

“This is very punitive,” Kumpf said. “It will punish anyone who is undocumented and anyone that will help. It will criminalize anyone, such as a local priest, doctors and social workers.”

The March 10 Immigrant Rights March in Chicago, which drew well over 100,000, was held to protest this noxious, racist, nasty bill. Some say it drew 300,000. It was the biggest such march ever in U.S history. And it was hardly isolated. There’s been plenty of such marches lately, all under-reported or not reported at all in MSM. Why is that?

The Chicago march is part of a growing tsunami of immigrant protest across the nation. Last week 5,000 Mexicans gathered in Oregon; on Tuesday, March 6, some 30,000 Latinos from the Washington, D.C. area rallied on the U.S. Capitol steps.

The last big spasm of immigrant bashing was in California in the mid 1990’s by Governor Pete Wilson and Proposition 187. Mexican immigrants responded by first marching, and then becoming citizens and voting Democratic in record numbers.

The largest march ever in California was held to protest Prop 187, it drew over 100,000 people. This coming Saturday there will be a march and rally in downtown L.A to protest the Sensenbenner bill. Assemble 10 am at Olympic & Broadway. March to City Hall. If you live in L.A. be there, this is everyone’s fight.

French students and unions stepped up pressure on the government Monday, calling for a strike on March 28 to fight a contested new labor law that makes it easier for companies to fire young employees.

This is called as a nationwide day of strikes and protests, and as transportation unions are involved, they have the power to shut down the country.

From Libcom.

Tbey also report that a union demonstrator was trampled by police and badly injured. Police then refused to call for medical help. He is in a coma, the union is furious, and this movement has a rallying symbol.
