From: fortune.bruce on 18 Apr 2008 20:10 new FBI Director William S. Sessions assured Reagan that there was % a solid basis for the investigation: "We knew CISPES was established % from funding by the Communist Party, U.S.A." Well, Reagan didn't like a peaceful Texas based group called CISPES, which was against the United States' support of the El Salvador government. The El Salvador government was torturing and killing people. * "Officers held in Salvador Abductions", By James LeMoyne, NYT, 4/25/86 * * One of those arrested was accused of killing the head of the Salvadoran * Land Reform Institute and two AMERICAN agrarian advisors. So the FBI had one of their agents infiltrate CISPES using a Frank Varelli, who was born in San Salvador and served in the U.S. Army. # "How the FBI infiltrated CISPES and Assisted the Salvadoran Right Wing" # By James Ridgeway, The Village Voice, NYC # # Varelli met with the Salvadoran National Guard, best known for its # death squads. They gave him a "hit list" of people they wanted. # # When the INS stopped a Salvadoran immigrant, it would call the FBI and # check the name against the list. # # If the detained person's name was on the list, the INS would institute # deportation proceedings, opposing bail on "national security" grounds. # # Varelli would call the Salvadoran National Guard to let them know the # individual was on his way home. In this way, the FBI assisted, over a # three-year period, the work of the Salvadoran death squads. That's right: the FBI murders people. * "FBI Killed Unarmed Man, Inquiry Shows", The New York Times, 1/14/97 * * A 21-year-old murder suspect who the FBI said they shot only after he * opened fire

[extended discussion of homicides followed] * * Such selective use of statistics is dishonest. * * It is impossible to know what was going through Louis Freeh's mind as he * delivered his distorted, exaggerated and fundamentally flawed crime speech * to the National Press Club. * * We do know however, that for many decades, law enforcement officials * across the nation have advanced their careers and promoted their * political agendas by chanting the same Mantra of the Scary Numbers.

War #4 - Terrorism --- -- --------- Until Timmy McPinhead decided to follow the Government's lead on killing people ---that it is okay to kill people to make a point---terrorism was always referred to as being by "foreign" agents. After the explosion, President Clinton called for FBI agents to be able to tap phones at will, as they can do now for organized crime. In other words, not only was there the OKC bombing terroristic act, the Government freedom terrorists then demanded even greater Police State powers over all of us. Internet signature in alt.activism.militia... In 1794, James Madison pointed out "the old trick of turning every contingency into a resource for accumulating force in the government." ---- I don't know any terrorists or foreign agents.
