History: Washington Free Press Battles Suppression 1969-70

Editor’s Note: In the 1960’s and 1970’s the growing underground press faced serious repression and censorship at the hands of government entities from the federal level on down to city police and inspectors. In this article, author Craig Simpson covers the story of the Washington Free Press for the website of Washington Area Spark, which has the slogan “Struggles from the Past for Today.” In this instance, the struggle took place in Montgomery County Maryland, next to Washington, DC.

The Washington Free Press, an alternative newspaper of the late 1960s, published for only three years. Its legacy was an epic clash with local authorities that ended in a blaze of glory as the tabloid’s battle against suppression gutted Maryland’s McCarthy-era anti-subversive law and helped roll back the definitions of obscenity.

Its greatest victories and defeats came after Montgomery County Circuit Court Judge James H. Pugh ordered a grand jury investigation into the newspaper in March 1969 for advocating, “the destruction of the state and destruction between the schools of this county and the duly constituted law enforcement agencies thereof.”

Background

The Washington Free Press started as an intercollegiate paper but began publishing as an alternative newspaper on a two-week basis in March 1967. The issues contained New Left, Old Left, pacifist and anarchist opinions and information mixed with mysticism, advocacy of psychedelic drugs, cultural writings, artwork and poetry.

Alternative newspapers of various stripes were published in practically every sizable city and town in the country during a time when black militancy, the “counter-culture” and anti-Vietnam war protests and were sweeping the nation.

The Free Press was sold at head shops and other sympathetic outlets, but most of the 20,000 copies each issue were sold on street corners by individuals who paid ten cents per copy to the Free Press and sold the paper for 20 cents. Often the newspapers were advanced to sellers who were expected to repay out of their proceeds. Both display and personal advertisements also helped finance the paper. Staff turnover was constant, the newspaper paid only a small stipend per week and most staff lived communally.

The paper began to directly challenge authorities in 1968 when a majority of the staff embraced the Youth International Party politics of cultural and political confrontation.

Newspaper More Provocative

There was always police harassment of street corner sellers and two people hawking the Free Press were arrested for selling obscene material in Rehoboth, DE in 1967, but authorities largely ignored the newspaper.

However, by 1969 the Free Press published the names, addresses and photos of alleged undercover agents, regularly used four letter words and called police pigs. They published articles on how to grow marijuana and wrote about revolution. In the process, they developed a large following among high school students.

Authorities in Montgomery County, MD began a counter-attack in February 1969 when three students were suspended at Gaithersburg High School for distributing the paper.

Police followed up by arresting David Kramer for selling the paper outside ofNorthwood High School a week later. They charged Kramer with not having a permit for sales within 500 feet of a school. However, charges were quickly dismissed against Kramer, the son of Montgomery County council member Rose Kramer, when a judge ruled that the permit requirement was aimed at food trucks and similar businesses.

Judge Pugh Orders Grand Jury Investigation

Undaunted by this legal setback, the county pressed on. On March 3, Montgomery County Circuit Court Judge James H. Pugh, citing the 1949 Maryland “Ober Law,” told a grand jury it was a felony to commit “any act intended to overthrow, destroy or alter, or to assist in the overthrow, destruction or alteration of” a political subdivision of the state “by revolution, force or violence.”

He told the grand jury that if they found the Free Press had violated this law, they should, “indict the staff, publishers and printers of the paper,” according to the Washington Post.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) quickly denounced the Free Press investigation.

Candice DeLong talks days in the FBI

http://www.bendbulletin.com/lifestyle/3 ... in-the-fbi#" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;


Published Oct 21, 2015 at 12:02AM

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — It would be hard to imagine how a psychiatric nurse tending to the mentally ill could find herself taking cooking lessons from the Unabomber. But it happened to Candice DeLong.

If that name sounds familiar, it should. DeLong hosts the intriguing crime series “Deadly Women” on Investigation Discovery channel.

And she’s not just a talking head there. She was a profiler for the FBI, recruited when an FBI agent heard her speech about her work at a Chicago hospital.

She was excited about the new job, she says. “In fact, I came to realize that FBI agents, cops, detectives, their jobs are not so dissimilar from a psychiatric nurse.”

Like some of them, she worked in maximum security. “Psychiatric nurses have to be good at talking and listening. You’re dealing with people at their worst, helping them find answers, and periodically dealing with unexpected events, sometimes violence,” says DeLong. “That’s like being a cop or a detective. So it wasn’t that much of a stretch for me.”

During her stint with the FBI (she retired 15 years ago) she was assigned some fascinating cases, including the Tylenol poisoning case in the Chicago area where seven died when it was discovered that someone was lacing Tylenol tablets with cyanide.

She worked on the Chandra Levy murder. And she spent six weeks in rural Montana on the Ted Kaczynski — Unabomber — task force.

“I did the undercover work on that case, spent the afternoon with Ted Kaczynski when we were searching his cabin. … He wasn’t mentally ill. I know he pled insane, and the government accepted hi

J. Edgar Hoover fought to write ex-FBI agents out of Alfred Hitchcock movies


Michael from Muckrock writes, "Like almost everyone else in the J. Edgar Hoover era, Alfred Hitchcock managed to catch the attention of the FBI, leading to a 16-page file. Did it investigate the rumored murders the Master of Suspense committed? Secretive ties to foreign states? Nope, mostly just the fact that, in one episode of Hitchcock Presents, a bad guy was briefly referenced to be a 'former FBI agent,' a plot point that the Bureau worked surprisingly hard to change ... perhaps worth of a Hitchcock treatment all its own. Read on for the full story."

It's a great story: after strong-arming the Hitchcock writer into killing the reference to an FBI agent, the Bureau continued to micro-manage him until he got so pissed, he put the character back in.

Perhaps sensing that the FBI playing a pivotal role in a double-cross would not go over well in Washington, Nye contacted the Los Angeles field office, who then contacted the Director. The response was pretty clear - the part must be cut.

At Nye's suggestion, the writer of the episode, George Hesler, contacted the FBI's field office to discuss their objections. After what must have been a very enlightening discussion of the Little Lindberg Law, Hesler agreed to eliminate all mention of the Bureau in rewrites.

Not the types to take Hesler at his word, however, the FBI - through Nye - continued to inquire about the exact nature of those rewrites.

FBI Director Blames Citizens with Cameras for Increase in Homicides

October 25 2015

https://photographyisnotacrime.com/2015 ... homicides/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;


After years of refusing to acknowledge or investigate the alarming number of citizens killed by police taking place daily in the United States, the FBI is now blaming citizens with cameras for the recent surge in murders taking place in cities across the country.

After all, claimed FBI Director James B. Comey, police are now afraid to do their jobs for fear of becoming the next viral sensation.

That’s news to us considering the number of police abuse videos that come across our desk daily, making it seem as if police are trying their hardest to get a paid vacation. Or as they call it, paid administrative leave.

Comey made his remarks Friday to hundreds of students at the University of Chicago Law School, claiming that he had reached this consensus after speaking with several police chiefs who were too afraid to go on the record.

That should be our first indicator that he is doing nothing but playing the Police PR Spin Machine in an attempt to turn public scorn against those trying to hold police accountable.

Not much different than when police chiefs or union leaders accuse activists and journalists for having blood on their hands when a cop is killed in the line of duty, simply because they tried to raise awareness of police brutality.

You would think the agency that oversees the largest surveillance program in the United States, telling us that if we have nothing to hide, we should have nothing to fear, would be a little more supportive of citizens exercising their First Amendment rights to record police.

But then again, we shouldn’t be surprised that Big Brother doesn’t want to be watched by Little Brother.

According to the New York Times:

“I’ve been told by a senior police leader who urged his force to remember that their political leadership has no tolerance for a viral video,” Mr. Comey said, adding that many leaders and officers whom he had spoken to said they were afraid to address the issue publicly.

“Lives are saved when those potential killers are confronted by a police officer, a strong police presence and actual, honest-to-goodness, up-close ‘What are you guys doing on this corner at 1 o’clock in the morning’ policing,” Mr. Comey said. “We need to be careful it doesn’t drift away from us in the age of viral videos, or there will be profound consequences.”

In other words, if we don’t put our cameras away when police violate the rights of citizens for standing on corners after midnight – which is not a crime – then we need to prepare for “profound consequences”?

Here’s a news flash, Comey. We are already experiencing profound consequences by allowing cops to shoot and kill at will, knowing all they have to do is claim they were in fear for their lives, and be hailed as valiant heroes instead of violent killers.

We know police won’t investigate killer cops. We know the courts won’t prosecute killer cops. We know the politicians won’t address the epidemic of killer cops where an average of three citizens a day are killed by cops.

And we sure as hell know the FBI is not doing anything about it, refusing to even keep track of the number of killer cops.

So we have to do it ourselves with our cameras and our reporting and our documentation of police killings.

In fact, the agency that monitors every aspect of our lives allows police departments to work on the honor system, allowing them to voluntarily submit data of the people they kill, resulting in less than two percent of police agencies in the country submitting any information at all, according to an investigation by the Guardian.

As a result, high-profile police killings, including the chokehold death of Eric Garner at the hands of an NYPD detective; the shooting death of 12-year-old Tamir Rice by a Cleveland cop who was deemed mentally unstable by a previous agency; and the Beavercreek police shooting of John Crawford who was walking around with an air gun he had picked up in an Ohio Walmart store aisle – were not included in the FBI’s 2014 official record of homicides.

As of this writing, at least 974 citizens have been killed by police this year. And the only reason we know that is because citizens are compiling that information on a website called Killed by Police, basing their data on news stories where police have confirmed the killings.

Yet the FBI claims they are incapable of doing the same, apparently too busy monitoring the social media accounts of citizens trying to hold police accountable, turning a blind eye to viral stories like the ones mentioned above by not including them in their official reports.

In fact, the Washington Post determined the FBI reports about half of the police killings that take place, which is surprising they are even doing that, considering only 224 agencies out of 18,000 bothered to report any data to the feds at all.

The New York City Police Department, which is the largest law enforcement agency in the country, has not submitted any data to the FBI since 2006.

And it is their union boss, Patrick Lynch, who has been one of the most vocal critics against citizens with camer

Doubts Cast on FBI Warning That Anarchists May Attack Cops on Halloween

Friday, October 30, 2015 | 8 hours ago
Doubts Cast on FBI Warning That Anarchists May Attack Cops on Halloween


Are local anarchists planning to attack police officers in metro Phoenix and around the country on Halloween, as many news outlets have reported? Or has the entire scandal been fabricated?

The answer, it turns out, isn’t so clear.

The New York Post's Melkorka Licea was the first to report earlier this week that the central office of the FBI sent local law enforcement agencies around the country a warning that a national anarchist group was planning to attack police officers — including those in the Valley — on Halloween.

Citing an FBI alert, Licea wrote, “The extremist group — known as the National Liberation Militia — has proposed a ‘Halloween Revolt’ that encourages supporters to cause a disturbance to attract police and then viciously attack them.”

After her article was published, it was picked up by news outlets across the country, including Phoenix's ABC15 — “Several Valley departments told ABC15 they were either aware of the threat or had received a warning from the FBI specifically,” reporter Lauren Vargas wrote.

She spoke with Sergeant Ben Hoster of the Scottsdale PD, who confirmed that his department “got a notification a week or two ago from the FBI, letting us know that there is an anarchist group that would be out.”

When contacted by New Times, Hoster deferred to the local FBI office “since they issued the warning.”

A spokesman for the Phoenix PD, Sergeant Jonathan Howard, had a similar reaction: Call the FBI, he said.

Role of DNA analysis in solving crimes

In a criminal complaint against Heinrich, authorities say, "The predominant profile match to defendant

Authorities say DNA analysis helped them link Daniel Heinrich to a sexual assault case from Cold Spring back in January 1989.

The incident happened nine months before Jacob Wetterling's abduction. Thursday, authorities named Heinrich as a person of interest in Wetterling's case.

Heinrich, 52, of Annandale was arrested Wednesday and is now charged with five counts of possessing and receiving child pornography.

"As a result of the development of forensic technology, which did not exist at the time the evidence was collected, Danny Heinrich was determined to be the contributor of DNA on the clothing of the victim of the Cold Spring sexual assault," said Richard Thornton, FBI Special Agent in Charge of Minneapolis.

KARE 11 spoke with that victim, a man named Jared Scheierl, back in 2004 about what happened that night. At

Senior Russian Advisor and Media Head Found Dead in Washington DC’s Dupont Hotel

A prominent senior advisor to the Russian government and media consortium head millionaire was found dead inside a top Washington DC hotel on Thursday.
According to an initial ABC News report, Mikhail Lesin, 57 yrs old, was staying at Dupont Circle Hotel when his body was discovered on Thursday.

Sputnik News states, “Mikhail Lesin died from a heart stroke,” a family member told RIA Novosti.

On closer inspection of US media coverage, however, it appears that Washington’s propaganda machine has seized another opportunity to try and spin this story against Moscow.

Meanwhile, a Yahoo! News release says that Washington DC Metropolitan Police Department are now investigating the circumstances surrounding his death. In shameless fashion, Yahoo! Newsgoes on to try and paint the victim as an international criminal…

Unfortunately, however, following on with the western media’s now common practice of intentionally demonizing Russia, and personalizing every Russian-related news story by wrapping the narrative around “Putin” (Russian President Vladimir Putin), the original

FBI Citizens Academy part 1

http://www.yourdeltanews.com/fbi-citize ... emy-part-1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The FBI is the domestic intelligence and security agency of the United States. It also serves as a national police force.

In addition to these duties, the agency is also reaching out to communities through its Citizens Academy program.

WXVT's Woodrow Wilkins was part of the 2015 class, conducted by the Jackson field office.

Students learn more about the agency and become links between the fbi and their communities.

Assistant Special Agent in Charge David Eisenreich explained.

"The goal's quite simple," he said. "We really rely on our partnership with the community. And that is the entire basis of what the Citizens Academy hopes to achieve.

"And during the course of that - the segments, they'll learn what the FBI does and how we do it."

Among the 2015 academy students were educators, attorneys, business owners, doctors, bankers and journalists. Wilkins and former WXVT anchor and reporter Danielle Avitable were among news media selected for the class.

" You know it's really cool," Avitable said. "I came in here with an open mind, not knowing what I was going to learn. And we got a clear picture of how they process evidence, and how they handle different cases."

Judy Meredith, a former journalist, is a professor at Jackson State University and the wife of James Meredith, the first black person admitted to the University of Mississippi.

" Just the secrecy that I thought enveloped this organization," Meredith said. "And so I just wanted to find out more about it."

Range Day was one of the last things the class did before graduation, going to the FBI Training Center for some hands-on experience. In the weeks leading up to range day, the participants met each Tuesday at the FBI Jackson field office for classroom instruction. Presentations included two short films, depicting some of the cases the FBI investigated or assisted.

One involved industrial spies from China trying to influence an American worker to sell his company's secrets. Another depicted an active shooter scenario at a school.

According to the FBI Active Shooter Event Quick Reference Guide, an active shooter is an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area.Victims are selected at random.

During the session, the class was told that people have three options during an active shooter event:

- Run

Have an escape route and plan in mind.

Leave your belongings behind.

Evacuate regardless of whether others agree to follow.

Help others escape, if possible.

Do not attempt to move the wounded.

Prevent others frmo entering an area where the active shooter may be.

Keep your hands visible.

Call 911 when you are safe.

- Hide

Hide in an area out of the shooter's view.

Lock door or block entry to your hiding place.

Silence your cell phone (including vibrate mode) and remain silent.

- Fight

Fight as a last resort and only when your life is imminent danger.

Attempt to incapacitate the shooter.

Act with as much physical aggression as possible.

Improvise weapons or throw items at the active shooter.

Commit to your actions. Your life depends on it.

The guide says first officers who arrive on scene will not stop to help the injured. Expect rescue teams to follow the first officers. These teams will treat and remove the injured.

Once you reach a safe location, you will likely be held in that area by law enforcement until the situation is clear, and all witnesses have been identified and questioned. Do not leave the area until law enforcement authorities have instructed you to do so.

During the film, "The Coming Storm," the presenting agent told academy students that it shows why it's not a good idea for teachers to be armed. If an active shooter event does occur, law enforcement may mistake the teacher for the shooter.

In addition to learning more about the FBI, participants found a few surprises.

Each presenting agent had a sense of humor. Special agents come from a variety of professional backgrounds. And most of those the students met had served in other locations.

"You know I didn't know that the agents moved around so much," Meredith said. "I guess I thought - that they kind of move around like the people in television do. But I didn't know that they have worked all over the country. Some of them have been overseas."

FBI battling 'rash of sexting' among its employees

Misconduct revealed within FBI

Misconduct revealed within FBI 04:31
Story highlights

CNN obtained FBI internal reports on employee misconduct
According to the reports, employees sent naked photos and inappropriate text messages
An FBI official says it sends the reports to its employees to deter further misconduct
She described a "rash of sexting" cases among the bureau's employees

It sounds like the plot of a bad movie: bugging your boss' office. Sending naked photos around to co-workers. Sexting in the office. Paying for sex in a massage parlor.

But it all happened in the federal agency whose motto is "fidelity, bravery, integrity" -- the FBI.

These lurid details are outlined in confidential internal disciplinary reports obtained by CNN that were issued to FBI employees as a way to deter misconduct.

Read the FBI's internal reports (PDF)

The FBI hopes these quarterly reports will stem what its assistant director called a "rash of sexting cases" involving employees who are using their government-issued devices to send lurid texts and nude photos.

"We're hoping (that) getting the message out in the quarterlies is going to teach people, as well as their supervisors ... you can't do this stuff," FBI assistant director Candice Will told CNN this week. "When you are given an FBI BlackBerry, it's for official use. It's not to text the woman in another office who you found attractive or to send a picture of yourself in a state of undress. That is not why we provide you an FBI BlackBerry."

While the vast majority of the FBI's 36,000 employees act professionally, the disciplinary reports issued by the agency's Office of Professional Responsibility show serious misconduct has continued for years.

From 2010 to 2012, the FBI disciplined 1,045 employees for a variety of violations, according to the agency. Eighty-five were fired.

The internal reports over the last year don't specify job titles, names or the location of the employees. Yet, they provide exact details of their misdeeds:

-- One employee engaged in a "romantic relationship with former boyfriend (now husband) knowing he was a drug/user dealer. Employee also lied under oath when questioned during

Nestled against townhomes and beside a busy 7-Eleven in Fredericksburg, Va., the emerging front lines in the FBI’s war on “Going Dark” are quietly taking shape.

There are no signs identifying the National Domestic Communications Assistance Center (NDCAC). Tall black gates surround the heavily secured structure. Dozens of cameras watch over what appears to be every inch of space outside. The entrance has no windows, and visitors must check their cellphones in lockers before getting past security.

The facility opened in March 2013 to help the 18,000 federal, state and local law enforcement agencies across the U.S. investigate crimes as more and more evidence is buried in suspects’ digital devices or stored in technology companies’ computers. But that mission was soon to encounter new hurdles for law enforcement agencies around the nation when three months later Edward

FBI agent found unconscious

http://lasvegassun.com/news/2005/feb/10 ... conscious/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Thursday, Feb. 10, 2005 | 11:23 a.m.

An FBI agent has been charged with misdemeanor drunken driving after being found unconscious with an empty bottle of rum and a loaded gun inside his pickup truck as it began to catch fire.

Special Agent Robert Clymer, 40, was cited by Metro Police in the early morning hours of Jan. 29 after he passed out with the engine running in the truck near Gowan Road and Buffalo Drive.

An empty bottle of Captain Morgan's rum and a handgun with one round in the chamber were found in the cab of the truck that jumped a curb and came to a stop near a key code box in front of a gated community, police said.

The FBI would not comment about Clymer or possible disciplinary actions that could be taken against him, but he is a member of the bureau's organized crime squad and is one of the agents investigating the Crazy Horse Too strip club.

Metro Police were called about 3 a.m. on Jan. 29 by security at the Suncoast who reported that there was an apparently drunk man with a holstered gun on his hip who was urinating in the parking lot.

When security approached the man in the parking lot, he got into his Chevrolet Silverado pickup and drove off before Metro officers arrived, Metro Police spokesman Sgt. Chris Jones said.

Before leaving, the man dropped a loaded handgun magazine in the parking lot, Jones said.

After running the license plates, recorded by the security guards, Metro officers were sent to Clymer's home, but he wasn't there. About 90 minutes later police got a report of a pickup that came to a stop with the driver's side wheels jumping a curb.

The pickup was running and smoking and was beginning to catch fire when police and Las Vegas Fire Department crews arrived. The responders had to "forcibly open the vehicle doors," and "discovered an unconscious and unresponsive" Clymer in the driver's seat, according to the officer's report.

Paramedics preformed CPR on Clymer who had suffered smoke inhalation. Clymer was taken to University Medical Center where he was eventually discharged on Feb. 1, UMC officials said.

Clymer remained unconcious for some time after being taken to UMC and was cited for misdemeanor drunken driving by police, Jones said.

Jones said it is a common practice for officers to issue citations for misdemeanor drunken driving instead of taking the driver into custody if the driver is injured and admitted to the hospital.

"He was issued a citation not because of who he is but because of his condition," Jones said.

Had Clymer injured someone else he would have been charged with a felony and would have been booked into the Clark County Jail upon his release from the hospital.

Clymer will have to appear before a judge on the

F.B.I. Sending Agents to Assist in Paris Investigation

The F.B.I. will send a team of agents to Paris to assist with the investigation into the terrorist attacks on Friday night, according to law enforcement officials.

Among the agents being deployed are ones with expertise in recovering information from electronic devices like cellphones and computers. Along with potentially helping the French with the electronics, the bureau wants to have agents in place for what it anticipates will be a flood of information from the French authorities in the coming days.

As the French uncover more details about the attackers’ networks and travel patterns, the F.B.I. will want its agents there to quickly relay the information to the United States, where analysts can comb through the bureau’s files to see if there are any links to Americans. In the past day, the F.B.I. has used specially designed computer programs to determine whether there were any social media connections between the assailants and people in the United States. The results of those inquiries are not clear.

"Tapes Depict Proposal to Thwart
Bomb Used in Trade Center Blast"

By Ralph Blumenthal

Law-enforcement officials were told that terrorists were building a bomb that was eventually used to blow up the World Trade Center, and they planned to thwart the plotters by secretly substituting harmless powder for the explosives, an informer said after the blast.

The informer was to have helped the plotters build the bomb and supply the fake powder, but the plan was called off by an F.B.I. supervisor who had other ideas about how the informer, Emad Salem, should be used, the informer said.

The account, which is given in the transcript of hundreds of hours of tape recordings that Mr. Salem secretly made of his talks with law-enforcement agents, portrays the authorities as being in a far better position than previously known to foil the February 26th bombing of New York City's tallest towers.

The explosion left six people dead, more than a thousand people injured, and damages in excess of half-a-billion dollars. Four men are now on trial in Manhattan Federal Court [on charges of involvement] in that attack.

So You Don’t Worry About Federal Surveillance? Blackmailing the President

Comments by Nicholas Katzenbach and Anthony Summers. Audio outtake from Robert Kennedy stating his thoughts of Hoover,and Hoover’s desire to make sure they knew he was ‘on top of things’.

Further comments by G.Gordon Liddy, Walter Mondale regarding the power of Hoover.

Hoover was reappointed by JFK. He purportedly had information on the President’s ‘womanizing’.

Hundley comments on Hoover releasing information to the Kennedies that he were aware of certain things. And used this information against them. Leverage. Judith Campbell was one example.

Hoover wanted no part in the chase for the mafia, and used as stated ‘the method he knew best’, to fight back.

Evelyn Lincoln – personal secretary to JFK comments on Hoovers memo informing of a lady connected to the mafia had contacted the White House. He wanted a meeting, and got it. He made it clear for the President that he knew about the relationship with Ms Campbell.

Trentadue believes that the FBI is hiding videos that will help prove that his brother, Kenneth Trentadue, was killed by guards in an interrogation-gone-wrong after he was mistaken for a “John Doe Number Two” that was allegedly being investigated as an Oklahoma City bombing suspect. Authorities eventually abandoned the theory that such a suspect participated in the bombing.

Kenneth Trentadue bore an uncanny resemblance, including similar tattoos, to both the police sketch of John Doe Number Two and suspect Richard Lee Guthrie Jr., an Aryan Republican Army member and bank robber who some believe to have been a co-conspirator in the 1995 attack on the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. Kenneth Trentadue allegedly committed suicide while in federal custody in August of ’95, but Oklahoma City’s top medical examiner stated, based on the condition of Trentadue’s severely wounded and beaten corpse, that it was likely that he had been murdered. Trentadue’s family also believes foul play took place and that the government might be covering up its involvement.

In this week’s trial, Jesse Trentadue is suing (lawsuit/pdf) to force the FBI to allow him to look through the government’s massive Oklahoma City bombing evidence lockers to find missing videos that have been mentioned in official documents and press reports, allegedly showing Timothy McVeigh carrying out the attack with the help of a co-conspirator bearing a resemblance to John Doe Number Two. Trentadue previously filed a Freedom of Information Act request and was given copies of 30 videos related to the case, but he believes that the FBI is hiding additional videos that support his theory as to what happened to his brother. The FBI claims to have given Trentadue everything he has requested.

On Monday, according to The Washington Post, US District Judge Clark Waddoups ordered the FBI to explain why it has failed to produce videos that are mentioned in case documents. One surveillance video in particular, mentioned in Secret Service logs, allegedly shows two suspects leaving the truck used in the attack, just minutes before the explosion. Waddoups also questioned why FBI agents failed to send Trentadue documents that mentioned additional videos that were not included among the 30 that were sent to him. The Judge also compelled agents to explain why they took no action when Trentadue sent a letter asking why one of the videos he received appeared to be incomplete.

FOX-13 Salt Lake City is reporting that, during the trial, Trentadue produced a document that allegedly shows that the ATF and FBI had prior knowledge of the attack but did not take it seriously.

okc-bombing-fbi-atf-prior-knowledge

According to ABC News, three witnesses pointed to videos that should have been available to investigators at the time of the incident. Don Browning, an Oklahoma City police officer who was on-scene the day of the attack, testified that he noticed FBI agents seizing cameras from the besieged building. Jannie Coverdale, grandmother to two bombing victims, testified that the FBI seized surveillance tapes from her apartment building that could have recorded the attack. Another witness, Joe Cooley, a contractor who examined the building prior to the bombing, claimed that he saw several cameras affixed to the outside of the structure.

The Star Tribune notes that FBI witness Richard Williams, the assistant building manager for General Services Administration at the time of the attack, testified that the cameras on the building were not operational and had not been since two years prior to the bombing. Also, a retired FBI agent named Stephen Brannan claimed that he investigated an incident where FBI agents allegedly attempted to sell videos of the attack to the media for $1 million and found it to be a hoax. Another FBI witness, Charles Hanger, then an Oklahoma highway patrolman, took the stand to explain what happened to the dash cam video of Timothy McVeigh’s arrest, which he claims was rendered useless by a recording error.

The trial is expected to wrap up this week, though the Judge’s ruling is likely to come at a later date.

FOX13:

A trial over evidence and conspiracy theories from the Oklahoma City bombing wrapped up here, with a shocking twist.

As a trial over documents and videotape the FBI had from the 1995 bombing that killed 168 ended on Thursday, the man suing the federal government claimed one of his witnesses had been told not to show up — or else.

Jesse Trentadue said John Matthews, whom he claimed worked as an undercover government operative in the militia movement in the 1990s, had been contacted by an FBI agent and told “it would be best if he didn’t show up to testify.”

“He was told he should take a vacation and that if he did testify he should suffer from a case of the ‘I don’t remembers,’” Trentadue told U.S. District Court Judge Clark Waddoups.

Trentadue told FOX 13 that Matthews had known convicted bomber Timothy McVeigh and worked for the government in an operation targeting the patriot militia movement known as “PATCON.”

“He was part of an operation the FBI ran for a decade during the ’90s where they would infiltrate, and it’s questionable whether they incited the right wing,” he told FOX 13.

Lawyers for the FBI denied the allegation and said it was Matthews who had contacted them asking how he could get out of testifying. Matthews could not be located to testify, they told the judge.

“This is a serious accusation,” Judge Waddoups said.

He ordered the FBI agent who spoke with Matthews to appear before him next month in a hearing to ferret out the truth.

Wecht evidence ruling turned on FBI warrants
May 15, 2009

When federal prosecutors targeted celebrity pathologist Dr. Cyril Wecht with a fraud indictment, prompting his resignation from a government job, Wecht’s defense attorneys targeted the FBI agent at the center of the probe.

It appears Wecht’s attorneys hit their mark. A federal judge threw out reams of records seized in two search warrants obtained by the agent in question, leaving prosecutors with little ammunition.

“It’s a vindication of what we said from the first day of the case, that the search warrants were facially invalid and a violation of Dr. Wecht’s constitutional rights,” defense attorney Jerry McDevitt said Friday.

Wecht, 78, renowned for his work on famous deaths, including those of Elvis Presley, JonBenet Ramsey and Vince Foster, remains charged with 14 counts. The charges accuse Wecht, the former Allegheny County medical examiner, of overbilling private clients for limousines and air fares; ripping off prosecutors for mileage fees as an expert witness; and using his government staff to benefit his multimillion-dollar private practice.

McDevitt says the charges are false or minor infractions that don’t qualify as federal crimes.

But McDevitt has also targeted FBI Special Agent Bradley Orsini, who obtained search warrants for records at Wecht’s private office and the laptop computer used by his county administrative assistant, Eileen Young.

At a pretrial hearing in 2007, McDevitt showed Orsini had been reprimanded for falsifying evidence records while working in the Newark, N.J., FBI office. Orsini testified he put other agents’ initials on reports and evidence records as an “administrative shortcut” but fudged no other information.

Wecht initially faced 84 counts, but the indictment was whittled down to 41 charges to simplify the case for a jury that, nonetheless, couldn’t reach a verdict in April 2008.

Afterward, the original trial judge, who ruled the FBI warrants were legal, was booted off the case by an appeals court that felt the rancorous case needed “fresh eyes.”

Prosecutors vowed to retry Wecht, further simplifying the indictment at just 14 counts. But that also gave McDevitt a second shot at getting the evidence thrown out with the new judge.

The new judge, U.S. District Judge Sean McLaughlin, who ruled Thursday the warrants weren’t specific enough, especially one for Wecht’s private office in April 2005. Orsini wasn’t at that search, and agents had to call him because they weren’t sure which records to seize.

Prosecutors argued Orsini filed a sealed affidavit specifying what files were targeted — specifically, 20 tattered boxes allegedly moved from Wecht’s county office to his private practice after the FBI investigation leaked to the media.

But without the affidavit attached, the warrant was “simply too vague to meaningfully guide the officers’ search,” McLaughlin ruled.

U.S. Attorney Mary Beth Buchanan’s spokeswoman said she can’t comment on whether the office will appeal the ruling, retry Wecht without the evidence or just drop the charges.

Without the records, prosecutors largely have testimony from Wecht’s former county employees about errands they routinely ran for Wecht for his private practice and who say it was common knowledge that Young spent most of her county time on Wecht’s private work.

A Pittsburgh FBI spokesman says neither he nor Orsini can comment because the case remains open.

Wecht said the judge’s ruling is just the latest positive development in the ever-shrinking case against him.

“Do I feel vindicated? Yes, indeed, I feel vindicated,” Wecht said.

Bruce Ledewitz, a Duquesne University law professor and friend of Wecht’s, doesn’t believe the allegations amount to federal crimes — even if they’re true. Ledewitz expects prosecutors to drop the charges if they lose an appeal.

But he said Wecht can’t claim to be exonerated either.

“Lots of people who are guilty as sin can never be found guilty or be convicted, because there’s no way to gather a case against them in a lawful way,” Ledewitz said. “Obviously, (the ruling) doesn’t mean that Dr. Wecht is not guilty of what the prosecution alleges.

“On the other hand, there’s no such thing as a bad reason for dropping a case that should have never been brought.”

Letter: Law should target expression of radical views




Often, when there have been terrorism incidents like those in Paris, the authorities say they were the work of known persons who had been radicalized but there are too many for the FBI to watch.

First, Muslims who abhor this violence should inform the FBI of people in their acquaintance who talk the radical talk. The FBI should then publish the names and addresses of those who they know have expressed radical views. This would put the eyes and ears of families and neighbors on those who the FBI can’t cover as well as the contacts these people have.

If, for some reason, an innocent person is targeted, they can prove their innocence and the news can publish a list of those whose names were listed in error.

In case this is somehow illegal (we publish the names and addresses of sex offenders), we then need lawmakers

Originally published on December 22, 2015 11:23 am

The attack that killed 14 people in San Bernardino, Calif., earlier this month raised the alarm over so-called homegrown terrorism, attacks that aren't necessarily coordinated from overseas.

A few days after the massacre, FBI Director James Comey described the challenges of detecting those threats in a hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

"Critical to our finding those people who are radicalizing in their homes is tips from the community," Comey said. "We have worked very, very hard to develop good relationships in communities all across the country — especially in Muslim communities."

But the FBI is regarded by many American Muslims with suspicion, in part because of misgivings about a legacy of federal sting operations that are perceived by some as efforts to entrap Muslims in

The Lockerbie Case

A commentary on the case of Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, convicted of the murder of 270 people in the Pan Am 103 disaster.
Wednesday, 11 February 2009
'Lockerbie Witnesses Were Paid'
This is the headline over a new article by Dr Ludwig de Braeckeleer on OhMyNews International. It reads in part:

'In recent times, allegations have resurfaced regarding payments offered to key witnesses of the Lockerbie trial.

'Specifically, there have been rumors that Majid Giaka, Paul and Tony Gauci were each paid about US$4 million for their help in the conviction of Megrahi for the bombing of Pan Am 103 over Scotland on Dec. 21, 1988. (...)

'Richard Marquise, the FBI agent who led the Lockerbie investigation, forcefully denied that witnesses were ever offered any money.

'"I can assure you that no witnesses were ever offered any money by anyone--including the CIA," Marquise told OhmyNews. "This issue came up at trial and I spoke with the defense lawyers about it in Edinburgh in 1999 -- before trial. No one was promised or even told that they could get money for saying anything. Every FBI agent was under specific orders not to mention money to any potential witness." (...)

'A source speaking on condition of anonymity told Jeff Stein, the national security editor of the Congressional Quarterly, that a key witness, Tony Gauci, and his brother were each paid somewhere between $3 million to $4 million for providing information leading to the conviction of Megrahi.

'Moreover, former State Department lawyer Michael Scharf confirmed to OhmyNews that rewards were paid in the context of the Lockerbie trial.

'"I knew that rewards payments were made, but not the amount. The Awards for Terrorism Information program has been around since the 1980s, and has been expanded to rewards for information leading to the arrest or conviction of international indicted war criminals like Karadzic and Mladic. When I worked at the Office of the Legal Adviser of the State Department I was involved in the program," Scharf wrote in an email to OhmyNews. (...)

'Prof Black, often referred to as the architect of the Lockerbie trial, agrees. "The issue of payments made or promised to witnesses forms an important part of the Grounds of Appeal," Black told the author.

'"At one time in Scotland, if payment had been made, or promised, to a witness that was an absolute bar to his giving evidence. Today, it is simply a factor that must be taken into account in assessing his credibility. However, in order for this to be done, it is necessary that the court should know that the payment was made or promised. Failure by the Crown to disclose the promise or the payment is a serious breach of their duty to the court and to the administration of justice," Black said.'

The Lockerbie Case

A commentary on the case of Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, convicted of the murder of 270 people in the Pan Am 103 disaster.
Tuesday, 6 October 2015
FBI offered me $4m: Lockerbie bomb witness
[1. This is the headline over a report published on The Scotsman website on this date in 2007. It reads as follows:]

A witness in the Lockerbie case has claimed he was offered $4 million (£2 million) by American investigators to lie to the trial judges.

Edwin Bollier, head of the Swiss company MEBO that was said to have manufactured the timer used to detonate the Pan Am bomb, claims he was offered the money by the FBI at its Washington HQ in exchange for making a statement that supported the main line of inquiry - that Libya was responsible for the bombing.

He has told Dr Hans Koechler, who was a UN observer during the trial of Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi in the Netherlands, that he was offered a "new life" in the United States if he testified that the timer found in the plane wreckage had been supplied to Libya.

"I rejected this and said this could not possibly be the case," he said. He added that there was a "loud dispute" after he rejected the offer.

The claim follows news that the Maltese shopkeeper Tony Gauci, whose evidence led to Megrahi's conviction, was offered $2 million by the CIA.

[2. On this date in 2012 a letter from the late Jock Thomson QC headed Career prosecutors as law officers have destroyed criminal justice system was published in The Herald. It reads in part:]

History will show that the genesis of the destruction of our criminal justice system was the appointment of career prosecutors as law officers: beginning with (now) Dame Elish Angiolini QC as Solicitor General and continuing with a succession of senior members of Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) since who have become and will remain Lord Advocate and Solicitor General for the foreseeable future.

This has led to the unholy, unhealthy alliance of law officers and law makers: Kenny MacAskill and Frank Mulholland, in the same bed. There is no separation of powers. Constitutionally the system now is morally and mortally flawed.

The fall-out from Cadder led to the knee-jerk Cadder Reforms. Ms Angiolini's furore about lack of convictions in rape cases, many of which should never have been raised in the first place, led Mr MacAskill to appoint Lord Carloway to consider whether the law should be amended to abolish the need for corroboration. The current Lord Advocate wants to do away with the accused's right to silence and the logical follow-on from that will be to make the accused a compellable witness. Will the next inexorable draconian step be the replacement of the presumption of innocence with that of a presumption of guilt? It's beginning to look that way. And by that time there may be little or no Criminal Legal Aid

Five Surprising Facts About the American Behind “India’s 9/11”
April 21, 2005 /

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/artic ... ndias-911/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;



Last week, Pakistan made international headlines by releasing Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, a suspected mastermind of the 2008 siege on Mumbai that killed 166 people, from prison on bail.

What many people don’t know is that an American citizen also played a key role in planning the attacks, which were so traumatic that they’re often described as “India’s 9/11.”

His name is David Coleman Headley — and he’s the subject of American Terrorist, a 90-minute special from FRONTLINE and ProPublica that premieres at 10 pm EST tonight on PBS (check local listings) and online.

Drawing on new analysis of Snowden documents, it’s an investigation that raises questions about the efficacy of mass electronic surveillance programs, showing that spy agencies failed to detect Headley before and after the Mumbai attacks, and challenging claims that NSA programs played a key role in his eventual capture.

In advance of tonight’s premiere, here are five surprising revelations about this American Terrorist.
1.) His mother was a local celebrity in Philadelphia.

Headley (born Daood Gilani) was born in the U.S. to an American mother who was the daughter of a prominent high-society family in Philadelphia, and a Pakistani father who was a well-known broadcaster back in his home country. The family moved to Pakistan soon after Headley was born, and when they eventually divorced, Headley initially stayed in Pakistan with his father. But as a teenager, he returned to Philadelphia — where his mother had started a popular bar called the Khyber Pass Pub, which she promoted using exotic tales about life in Pakistan, false charges of espionage, and escaping through the bar’s namesake. Headley’s nickname among Khyber Pass patrons? “The prince.”
2.) He was a heroin addict and drug smuggler.

Before his turn into terrorism, Headley was busted at an airport carrying two kilos of heroin. On the spot, he agreed to cooperate with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). One of his partners got 10 years in prison. The other got eight. Headley only got four.
3.) He became radicalized while he was working for the U.S. government as a DEA informant.

Three years after his first prison stint, Headley was busted again with drugs. Eager to cut his second prison stay short, he began working for the DEA. While doing so, he made several unauthorized trips to Pakistan, his father’s homeland — and fell in with an Islamic terror group called Lashkar-e-Taiba, dedicated to waging jihad against India and the West.
4.) His wife reported his radical activities to the U.S. embassy in Pakistan.

While being trained by Lashkar in Pakistan, Headley adopted the group’s ways. He already had two wives, but he decided to get married again to a Moroccan medical student. His new wife eventually tired of the arrangement. Angry that Headley, who left her alone for months at a time, was treating her like a mistress, she went to the U.S. embassy in Islamabad — telling officials there that her husband was a terrorist being trained by Lashkar. She even described how she had honeymooned with Headley at the Taj hotel — what would later be the main target in the Mumbai attacks. But embassy security officials filed the case as “low priority,” and nothing happened.
5.) He planned a Charlie Hebdo-like assault against a Danish newspaper.

Headley’s reconnaissance missions inside the Taj helped to make the Mumbai siege possible. Weeks after the attacks, he went on similar reconnaissance mission in Denmark, this time working for Al Qaeda. He posed as a tourist — riding his bike around Copenhagen, filming and narrating as he went. His target this time was the newspaper Jyllands Posten, which four years earlier had caused outrage across the Muslim world by publishing a dozen cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed. The attack never came to fruition: Headley’s connection with a top Al Qaeda official had put him on the radar of Western intelligence officials, and Headley was finally arrested in October 2009. Only then, when Headley himself willingly offered

FBI agents place their lives on the line for Americans

January 4 at 5:28 PM

Regarding Frank Askin’s Jan. 1 Washington Forum commentary, “Thanks for the surveillance, J. Edgar”:

The FBI gained greater authority to investigate civil rights matters with the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. After the law’s enactment, investigations revealed that the Soviet KGB, using the Communist Party USA, had infiltrated the civil rights movement in an effort to disrupt U.S. domestic stability and negatively influence U.S. foreign policy.

FBI special agents dedicated their lives to ensure that the movement was not deterred nor covertly influenced by foreign intelligence services; I would have sacrificed my life to further the movement’s cause. Under the leadership of FBI director J. Edgar Hoover and directors after him, FBI special agents did and continue to place their lives on the line every day to guarantee the constitutional rights of all Americans without fail.
