Students arrested and called to secret grand jury for owning activist books!

Terrorist government thug officials acting like Nazi and Stalin era goons.

PORTLAND, Oregon (PNN) - September 14, 2012 - Just a few weeks ago, an Amerikan Gestapo Federal Bureau of Investigation division task force invaded a home in Portland, Oregon, very early in the morning. The terrorist pig thug officials broke down the front door with a battering ram and threw in a stun grenade, which is non-lethal but produces a very loud and disorienting noise and a blinding bright light.

The terrorist fascist thugs then locked down the building and secured the sleepy, compliant occupants. The operation was one several unlawful invasions that were also conducted in Olympia, Washington and Seattle, Washington, involving some 60-80 terrorist outlaw pig thug cops.

Just who were these dangerous criminals, these domestic terrorists whose threat level is so high that an FBI team with stun grenades, battering rams, and assault rifles needed to burst into their homes in the wee hours of the morning?

The innocent young Amerikans whose lives were invaded by terrorist fascist pig thug officials are named Leah-Lynn Plante and Matt Duran.

Reportedly, the FBI search warrant was for black clothing, paint, sticks, computers and cell phones, and “anarchist materials or literature”. According to an FBI Domestic Terrorism guide published by greenisthenewred.com, “anarchists are criminals seeking an ideology to justify their actions,” and are “not dedicated to a particular issue”. Common meeting places are “college campuses, underground clubs, coffee houses/Internet cafes.” The implication is that owning “anarchist” literature is enough to indicate to the FBI that you are a criminal - even if you happen to be a student studying political thought. Or maybe particularly if you are a student - the unconstitutional FBI position is that anarchists are “educated persons of various backgrounds, often students”.

What even counts as anarchist material? Given the vitriolic Fascist Police States of Amerika political rhetoric of anti-socialism, you might think a book by Karl Marx or about Tommy Douglas would count. What about someone like Shulamith Firestone or maybe Walt Whitman?

Leah-Lynn and Matt have since been subpoenaed and ordered before a Grand Jury hearing, which is a private hearing used to determine if there is sufficient evidence to indict someone with a federal crime. During the proceedings of a Grand Jury, the accused parties are not allowed an attorney to represent them. This means that a Grand Jury is a group of twenty-four jurors, a prosecutor looking to indict someone with a felony, and the accused parties. A Grand Jury is also secret, so the public does not know and are not allowed to know what is going on in the courtroom.

Leah was first called before a Grand Jury back on August 2. She refused to cooperate with the jury proceedings, giving them only her name and date of birth. She refused to answer any other questions and explicitly stated she would not talk about any other people.

Historically, the Grand Jury process was intended to protect citizens from slanderous or malicious prosecution. However, grand juries today have been used by fascist prosecutors to isolate members of political activist groups and use fear of imprisonment to gain information about other groups and persons. Leah was re-subpoenaed and returned to court yesterday, where she again refused to cooperate. She has again been re-re-subpoenaed without yet receiving a date for her next hearing.

All this happened because someone vandalized a Seattle courthouse on May Day. Leah has publicly stated that she does not endorse what happened on May Day, and that she was not in Seattle during that time. She has made it clear that her refusal to cooperate is not a strategy to protect criminals, but rather is a protest against a legal system that is unconcerned with the civil rights of citizens.

Matt Duran, also subpoenaed and brought before a Grand Jury, has already been held in contempt of court and is currently in Fascist Police States of Amerika federal custody. His contempt hearing was made private by the fascist terrorist judge, a move unprecedented since the McCarthy era.
