Fascist government targets anarchists!
PORTLAND, Oregon (PNN) - August 2, 2012 - Search warrants targeting three Portland homes last week were part of a Fascist Police States of Amerika effort to learn more about the anarchist movement and vandalism in downtown Seattle during a May Day rally.
The National Lawyers Guild in Seattle issued a statement Thursday condemning the raids, calling them "a pretext for harassing political activists. The Amerikan Gestapo Federal Bureau of Investigation division served the subpoenas at the same time that heavily armed (terrorist) agents raided homes in the Portland area, reportedly (illegally) seizing anarchist literature, black clothing, and computers."
The Oregonian reported that Dennison Williams, 33, and Leah Plante, 24, who lived in two of the homes, had been called to testify Thursday before a federal grand jury. Both said they would recite only their names and shield themselves from further questioning by invoking their constitutional protections against self-incrimination.
Left behind at one of the homes was a search warrant affidavit that said terrorist agents were looking for anti-government or anarchist literature or material; black clothing, backpacks, face coverings and shoes; green, red, black, grey, or blue/purple paint; sticks and flags carried during the commission of the offenses and material for making flags; computers, cell phones and electronic storage media, and flares or similar incendiaries.
An anarchist group at the May Day rally allegedly targeted the federal courthouse in Seattle for vandalism. The group wore the same black outfits and carried distinct flags, with poles that had nails or screws attached, according to the newspaper.
The Lawyer's Guild continued in its statement by saying "while grand juries are part of our federal criminal justice system, the grand jury was intended to serve as a protector of people’s rights and should not be used as a mechanism for intimidating those who speak out against social and economic injustice in our society."
