Just what is the FBI's National Domestic Communications Assistance Center For?

So the FBI has started a new club and one that involves the US Marshals, the DEA and apparently even the NSA. This clubs whole purpose is to find ways to monitor and decrypt data that transferred through electronic communications. Sounds fairly innocuous right? After all these law enforcement agencies should have the tools they need to investigate crimes and to prevent threats to national security. The problem comes from the fact that the club (called either the National Domestic Communications Assistance Center or Domestic Communications Assistance Center) might have been around since 2008 without anyone telling anybody.

According to a very detailed CNET article the FBI had internal communication about the DCAC’s budget as early as January 2008. Now this could be an indication that they were preparing a proposal for the new group, but as there have been additional budget requests it is more likely that the agency was established and has been working for three years to get up to speed.

One of the things to look for when something like this happens is for new legislation to be established during the timeline of the agency. According to an FBI post on Google + ( Interesting choice of social network) “The NDCAC will have the functionality to leverage the research and development efforts of federal, state, and local law enforcement with respect to electronic surveillance capabilities and facilitate the sharing of technology among law enforcement agencies.”

Now we know that the FBI has pushed for (and gotten) several key wiretapping laws. In 1994 the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act was passed and it has received several updates to expand some of its coverage. They have asked for laws that would prevent individuals from encrypting their own data over an Internet Service Providers network unless they gave the ISP the keys first. The first target is VoIP communications which often have private keys that the provider does not maintain. They want services like Skype to change the way they operate so that they can decrypt any and all conversations for law enforcement use.

Fortunately so far the courts have ruled that encryption code is part of protected speech so you will still be able to get your hands on other encryption software to protect your communications. Now the interesting part of this situation was a statement made by the FBI’ General Counsel Valerie Caproni, “We're talking about lawfully authorized intercepts”. Which would seem to indicate that a warrant would still be required… at least it would until they manage to push CISPA through. At that point there is no requirement for a warrant, law enforcement (or any agency) could simply ask and get the information (yes the wording of that law is that loose).

Any story regarding FBI agents and organized crimes families
should be looked at through a filter.
There is now overwhelming evidence FBI agents collaborated with Organized Crime in every major American city allowing the FBI to turn to the mob when they needed someone killed ( it is called plausible denial).
The FBI also relied almost entirely on the Mafia to help them destroy American Unions .
FBI agents including the Director of the FBI Hoover have now been directly linked to the assassination of President Kennedy and Martin Luther King
in collaboration with the Mafia.

First and foremost the organizational model of the FBI is that of a crime family posing as a law enforcement agency.

What most people don't know is the City of Boston was run and controlled by the FBI through their control of Whitey Bulger and his brother Billy Bulger who was speaker of the Massachusetts Senate.

When he graduated from penny ante crime to the big leagues of bank robbery, James “Whitey” Bulger learned a hard lesson early on: everybody talks.

And so he decided to play the game, too. Not to save himself, as he did in his later notorious role as an informant for the FBI. But to save his girlfriend, Jacqueline “Jacqui” McAuliffe, who had gone to Indiana with him when he robbed a bank.

“Bulger orally admitted who his accomplices were in these bank robberies,” FBI Agent Herbert Briick wrote on July 5, 1956.



Bulger persuaded Jacqui to do the same, with an FBI promise that she would not be prosecuted, according to the FBI memo. Bulger got 20 years; McAuliffe went back to cutting hair.

Report finds no crime in Indy evidence mishandling

INDIANAPOLIS — An internal investigation into how Indianapolis police mishandled blood taken from an officer accused in a fatal drunken-driving crash found no criminal intent, but the final report released Friday sharply criticized the department's training, supervision and procedures for staff handling evidence.

The FBI reviewed the mishandling of vials of blood taken from Officer David Bisard, who was suspended after the 2010 crash that killed a motorcyclist and injured two others. FBI agents agreed with the city's Public Safety Department that staff handling the blood had no criminal intent, so the agency declined to investigate further, the Indianapolis Metro Police Department said in a statement.

FBI Media Spokeswoman in Dallas-Ft. Worth Pleads Guilty in Drunk Driving Crash



FBI agent, who was the face of the FBI down in the Dallas-Fort Worth area (she was the media spokeswoman), was the subject of Texas media reports this week after she pleaded guilty last Friday to drunk driving.

KRLD news radio reported that Bailey was arrested last year after causing a “wrong-way crash on the Dallas North Tollway” while driving at a high rate of speed.


(FBI Agent) Farrall gets 90 days in wrong-way case
Miami Herald ^ | January 09, 2003 | Noah Bierman and Natalie P. McNeal

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/819829/posts

`Not once did this man even get up here and accept responsibility for his actions. I think that's telling.' -- MICHAEL HOROWITZ, who prosecuted David Farrall

A judge told David Farrall that law enforcement officers need to uphold a higher standard than the rest of the community. Then he sentenced the former FBI agent to 90 days in jail in one of the most notorious DUI cases in South Florida history.

Florence Thompson, whose two sons died in a wrong-way crash with Farrall three years ago, shrieked ''yes!'' when she saw bailiffs clapping handcuffs on the agent for the first time. Still, she remained angry Farrall didn't face a more severe punishment.


He could have faced 30 years in prison if a jury had convicted him of DUI manslaughter in November. But jurors cleared the former agent of the most serious charges -- convicting him only of six misdemeanors. That left Wednesday's sentencing hearing a battle over days, rather than years.

Farrall crashed with Lauderhill brothers Maurice Williams, 23, and Craig Chambers, 19, on Nov. 23, 1999, near I-95's Atlantic Boulevard exit. The two brothers, who had come from choir practice, died in the mangled wreckage. Farrall, who had been drinking and watching Monday Night Football, survived.

The case drew enormous community attention because the brothers had initially been blamed for the crash before Florida Highway Patrol reversed its findings. Protesters claimed bias against young black men in favor of a white law enforcement officer.

Bruce Udolf capitalized on the botched investigation to win his client's acquittal. That fueled community anger further. Protests included courthouse marches and traffic slowdowns along I-95.

Farrall's six misdemeanor convictions included two charges of DUI, two charges of driving with an unlawful blood-alcohol level and two charges of reckless driving.

Wednesday, Broward Circuit Judge Marc Gold only considered the four charges related to drinking. Combined, they carried a maximum of six months in jail.

He has yet to decide whether to grant a new trial on the reckless driving charges that could add three more months to the sentence. Gold will grant a new trial on those charges if he believes a late-emerging defense witness, who claims to have seen the crash but got many of the details wrong.

Gold agreed most first-time DUI offenders receive less jail time than Farrall.

''As a law enforcement officer, he has an even greater responsibility. He sets standards by his conduct,'' Gold said.

Farrall will also serve 12 months probation and 50 hours of community service. He'll have his license suspended for one year, attend DUI school and pay a $250 fine.

Prosecutor Michael Horowitz, buoyed by community outrage, asked for the maximum six months and 500 hours of community service.

Gold reserved ruling on another special request: that Farrall pay $126,975.67 prosecutors spent on outside investigators.

''Not once did this man even get up here and accept responsibility for his actions,'' Horowitz said, with his finger pointed at Farrall. ``I think that's telling.''

Defense attorney Bruce Udolf shot back: ''Whatever he would say to give condolences would only be cynically dismissed by those who despise him.''

He said Farrall didn't speak Wednesday because he, along with the FHP and FBI, are facing two lawsuits seeking $150 million.

Udolf continued to paint Farrall as a victim who lost his job, family, friends and credibility throughout the three-year ordeal. He called the demand for $126,000 an example of ''showboating'' by losing prosecutors and said his client couldn't afford to pay it.

''This would have to be the most expensive DUI prosecution in the history of man,'' he said.

Community organizers had promised to take action if Farrall was not sentenced to jail time Wednesday. When the three-hour hearing ended, they instead turned their attention to supporting the victims.

''Ninety days is nothing, but at least there is some satisfaction that he will spend 90 days in jail,'' said the Rev. Dennis Grant, who spoke at the hearing and held his arm around Thompson as she left the courtroom.

Thompson sounded exhausted from the three-year ordeal as she watched her sobbing daughter hug a close family friend.

''He should have gotten 30 years, but of course, the jury messed up along with the Florida Highway Patrol,'' Thompson said. ``There is no satisfaction no matter what.''

Police Test Board Unaware Of Extent Exam Was Compromised
CALL7 Investigation Found Dozens Test Questions Available In Study Guide

DENVER -- Attorney General John Suthers knew for months the police certification test was compromised but a key board member said the Peace Officer Standards and Training Board was never informed of the seriousness of the problem.

Denver FBI Special Agent in Charge James Yacone said, through a spokesman, that he first learned from a CALL7 investigation that the P.O.S.T. curriculum board chairman was selling a study guide with verbatim questions and answers from the test.

Former Commerce City Police Chief Philip Baca is selling the study guide, known as the “Baca Book,” for $75 and the study guide had dozens of questions and answers that are on the police certification exam. At the time, Baca chaired the committee that oversaw training and testing for the board.

Justice Department finds significant cheating on FBI test
CHEATING
September 27, 2010|By Carol Cratty, CNN Senior Producer

FBI Director Robert Mueller said the bureau will follow up on cases in which test takers allegedly acted improperly.

During an open book exam on agent guidelines covering domestic investigations, "a significant number of FBI employees engaged in some form of cheating or improper conduct," a Justice Department report has found.

The Office of Inspector General found agents and analysts broke rules by consulting with others about the exam, using and sharing answer sheets and in some instances even using a computer system flaw to reveal the correct answers to questions.

Suit: FBI failed to stop Arivaca deaths
Victim says informant warned agency of plan
Tim Steller Arizona Daily Star

The FBI should have prevented a 2009 home invasion in Arivaca that left a man and his 9-year-old daughter dead, the surviving victim alleges in a lawsuit against the federal government.

Convicted murderer Shawna Forde asked an FBI informant in Colorado to participate in the attack two weeks before it happened and even drew a map of the site, survivor Gina Gonzalez says in the lawsuit.

The informant passed the map on to his FBI handler in Colorado, and the agent there passed it on to the FBI office in Phoenix, but that office lost the map, the suit says.

By its own rules, FBI agents were required to tell local law enforcement in Southern Arizona of the planned crime, the suit says. But the FBI didn't intervene.

CNN exclusive: FBI misconduct reveals sex, lies and videotape

By Scott Zamost and Kyra Phillips, CNN Special Investigations Unit
January 27, 2011



Washington (CNN) -- An FBI employee shared confidential information with his girlfriend, who was a news reporter, then later threatened to release a sex tape the two had made.

A supervisor watched pornographic videos in his office during work hours while "satisfying himself."

And an employee in a "leadership position" misused a government database to check on two friends who were exotic dancers and allowed them into an FBI office after hours.

These are among confidential summaries of FBI disciplinary reports obtained by CNN, which describe misconduct by agency supervisors, agents and other employees over the last three years.


http://www.cnn.com/2011/US/01/27/siu.fb ... index.html
Read the FBI documents obtained by CNN
-- An employee had "a sexual relationship with a source" over seven months. The punishment was a 40-day suspension.
-- The supervisor who viewed "pornographic movies in the office while sexually satisfying himself" during work hours received a 35-day suspension.
-- The employee in a "leadership position" who misused a "government database to conduct name checks on two friends who were foreign nationals employed as exotic dancers" and "brought the two friends into FBI space after-hours without proper authorization" received a 23-day suspension. The same employee had been previously suspended for misusing a government database.
-- An employee who was drunk "exploited his FBI employment at a strip club," falsely claiming he was "conducting an official investigation." His punishment was a 30-day suspension.
-- And an employee conducted "unauthorized searches on FBI databases" for "information on public celebrities the employee thought were 'hot'" received a 30-day suspension.

FBI informant-turned-serial-killer Scott Kimball is under investigation in the unsolved 2004 murder of a woman whose mutilated body was dumped behind a strip mall in Westminster, according to a family member.

Dachelle Powell — whose sister-in-law, Catrina Powell, was beaten to death in October 2004 — told The Denver Post on Tuesday that a detective involved in the case has told her Kimball is being investigated as a potential suspect. The woman also said she has been interviewed by the FBI agent heading the investigation of Kimball, who has pleaded guilty to four murders committed after he was freed from prison to act as an informant in a drug case.

Indictment of FBI agent may hold key to TWA 800
By Jack Cashill

April 21, 2006

On March 30, retired FBI agent Lin Devecchio was indicted in Brooklyn for what prosecutor Michael Vecchione calls "one of the worst cases of law enforcement corruption in the history of this country." Specifically, Devecchio has been accused of taking bribes from a mobster, the late Gregory Scarpa, Sr., in return for inside information that led to four gangland style murders in Brooklyn.

The man most responsible for Devecchio’s indictment is a Michigan-based forensic economist by the name of Stephen Dresch. A former college dean and state representative, Dresch has been very helpful to me in the Ron Brown investigation and in my Oklahoma City follow-up work. Although now dying of lung cancer, the extraordinary Mr. Dresch and his partner in crime-busting, private investigator Angela Clemente, all but willed the indictment through Congress and to fruition in a New York State court.

Although the Devecchio indictment got huge press in the New York area, the local media missed its larger ramifications. Reporter Peter Lance has not. In his 2004 book, "Cover Up: What the Government Is Still Hiding About the War on Terror," Lance argued that the FBI’s troubled relationship with Scarpa and his son, Gregory Jr., caused it to shut down its inquiry into the destruction of TWA Flight 800 in July 1996. “This [indictment] could blow open the 9/11 investigation,” says Lance.

A former correspondent for ABC News and a five-time Emmy winner, Lance has detailed the exquisitely documented communications between Scarpa Jr., an FBI informant like his father, and his New York City jail mate, Ramzi Yousef. In fact, the Brooklyn prosecutors met with Lance in September and used “Cover Up” as the blueprint for their grand jury investigation.

Puerto Rico: FBI Cover Up Murder of Carlos Muñiz Varela
see link for full story
http://www.plenglish.com/index.php?opti ... 9&Itemid=1


San Juan, Jun 4 (Prensa Latina) The Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) hid the murder of Cuban-origin Carlos Muñiz Varela in Puerto Rico, in which already deceased terrorist Julio Labatut took part, denounced the National Hostosiano Independentist Movement (MINH) here Monday.

MINH vice president, Héctor L.Pesquera, said that the political police of the United States also contributed to the concealment of the crime occurred on April 28, 1979.

"The FBI has become an accomplice of Muñiz Varela´s assassins when it cover up informationof the participation of terrorist Julio Labatut and the names of the suspects of having perpetrated that and other political murders in Puerto Rico, such as that of Santiago Mari Pesquera," said the Puerto Rican independentist leader.

With the murder of Mari Pesquera on March 24, 1976, when he was 23 years old, the ultra-right wing protected by the US security organizations looked for an overwhelming blow to his father, the socialist leader Juan Mari Bras, in a peak moment of the Puerto Rican revolutionary movement.

"We summon FBI director Robert Mueller, to desist of obstructing justice and to make immediate delivery of all the information related to these murders to the Puerto Rican Department of Justice," said Pesquera.

Assange guests grilled: Is FBI collecting ‘evidence’ for indictment?
see link for full story
http://www.rt.com/news/assange-fbi-julian-us-991/

Published: 05 June, 2012, 00:45

Will Julian Assange’s show make the Guinness Book of Records? Quite likely, especially if you think of all the people interrogated over their ties with the whistleblower before or after they talked to the WikiLeaks founder.

­“The FBI is apparently collecting evidence to indict Julian Assange before a grand jury. Sweden must not be the final destination of the designed extradition,” sources close to the WikiLeaks and Julian Assange told RT.

The Cypherpunks episode of The Julian Assange Show has not even premiered on RT, but a pot of trouble is already boiling and Jeremy Zimmerman, a co-founder of cyber freedoms group La Quadrature du Net, has got a taste of it.

Jeremy Zimmerman was detained on his way from the US to France after filming the episode of Assange’s show, during which he was interviewed with two other Cypherpunks movement activists.

Zimmerman was grabbed by “self-identified FBI agents,” reports the WikiLeaks whistleblowing website. After that he spent several hours in quite another sort of the interview. The officers asked him about various details regarding Julian Assange. When he asked about his rights, the cyber activist was threatened with arrest and imprisonment.

“We have confirmed US authorities have this week detained and interrogated multiple Europeans about Assange,” reads the WikiLeaks Tweet.

Smari McCarthy, a co-founder and board member of the Icelandic Digital Freedoms Society, has also been stopped while entering the US, the source adds. McCarthy was approached by three US officials in Washington DC, and asked to become an informer.

At the moment McCarthy’s whereabouts are unknown, though he maintains communication with the Icelandic MP Birgitta Jonsdottir.

In earlier incidents, Nabeel Rajab, a Bahraini human rights activist, was beaten up at Bahrain’s international airport on his return from Lebanon in April. Then he was detained for half a day.

The Bahraini authorities have not commented on the reasons behind the arrest, but it took place exactly after Rajab Episode 4 of The Julian Assange Show. In the episode, Rajab said that on the same day he announced on his Twitter account that he was going to appear on RT his house was surrounded by almost 100 policemen armed with machine guns – but luckily he was not there at the time.

Victory Against Repression: Carlos Montes Court Case Ends in Victory!
By Committee to Stop FBI Repression |
June 5, 2012
see link for full story
http://www.fightbacknews.org/2012/6/5/v ... ds-victory

Los Angeles, CA - On June 5, 2012 Carlos Montes’ criminal court prosecution ended in a victory for Carlos and the movement.

Carlos Montes’ home was raided on May 17, 2011, by the combined forces of the LA County Sheriff’s Swat Team and the FBI, by crashing his door down at 5:00 a.m., with automatic assault rifles drawn, almost killing him. He was charged with 6 serious felonies with a possible jail time of up to 18 years.

With local and national support, via solidarity protests, call-in campaigns to President Obama and U.S. Attorney General Holder, local rallies and protests, and an offensive legal strategy, two felonies were dropped - this was a first partial victory. However the District Attorney still stated that they wanted Montes to do at least 5 years in state prison for the 4 felony charges remaining.

The local and national Committees to Stop FBI Repression launched a petition drive and a “Call the D.A.” campaign, with phone banking and a robo call by Carlos to over 4 000 supporters, urging folks to call District Attorney Steve Cooley. The D.A.’s office was flooded with calls and letters.

Montes’ attorney made several motions to get charges dropped on various grounds, but the Los Angeles Superior Court judge rejected them. Preparations were made for a trial, knowing well the state judicial system is not ‘fair and impartial.’ Montes and his attorney Jorge Gonzalez got widespread support and media coverage including in the Democracy Now TV show, La Opinion and the Guardian UK newspaper.

The local D.A. on the case then sought for a resolution and proposed to drop three additional felonies, if Carlos pled “no contest” to one count of perjury. This proposal included no jail time, three years of probation and community service. Under advice from supporters, friends and his attorney Montes moved forward with this proposal.

This is a victory for Carlos Montes and the movement against police political repression. A trial had the danger of him being convicted of four felonies with jail time and the additional old felony - a total of 5 felonies. At this point Carlos is out of jail, will continue to organize against repression, for public education, against U.S.-led wars and for immigrant rights. He is already planning to attend the protest at the Republican National Convention on August 27, 2012 in Tampa, Florida.

Next steps: The local committee with supporters and rank-and-file members of SEIU 721 will hold a victory party to thank everyone who worked on this campaign and to help pay off legal expenses. It is set for Saturday, June 23, 7:00 p.m. Details will follow.

Carlos wants to thank all the people, organizations, unions and community people who worked and supported him in this struggle against police/political repression.

The struggle continues to defend the 23 other anti-war and international solidarity activists who are STILL under an FBI investigation for showing solidarity with the oppressed people of the world, especially the Palestinian and Colombian people. Stay updated via: www.stopfbi.net!

Why is lead FBI agent in botched Ted Stevens case still employed?
Amanda Coyne, Tony Hopfinger | Jun 06, 2012



In late spring 2008, FBI agent Mary Beth Kepner was in the throes of building a case against the late Ted Stevens, then one of the nation's most powerful senators.

The case hinged on whether Stevens lied on his Senate disclosure forms about work he'd gotten done to his cabin in Girdwood, a ski town south of Anchorage, Alaska's largest city. Some of that work had been done by his friend Bill Allen, the head of VECO Corp., then the largest oilfield services company in the state.

Kepner speculated Allen bribed Stevens by remodeling the senator's house when talking to a reporter in spring 2008. But "What was the quid pro quo?" she asked.

In the end, federal prosecutors wouldn't find one. Rather, they'd allude to special favors Stevens did for Allen and VECO in return for the company's remodeling of his cabin when they successfully prosecuted him in fall 2008 for failing to disclose the renovations on his Senate forms.

Yet Kepner's insistence in making a case against Stevens, even if the facts didn't all line up in her favor, coupled with federal prosecutors cutting corners, ultimately led to the judge in the case tossing the guilty verdicts against "Uncle Ted," as Alaskans called him before he died in a 2010 plane crash.

Now, for the first time, Alaskans have a better idea of just what Kepner and her prosecutor cohorts were up to when they conducted their case against Stevens.

An internal report released publicly by the Justice Department in late May outlines transgressions on Kepner's part, ranging from not documenting interviews to hiding evidence from Stevens' legal team.

engaged in an improper relationship with a female subordinate FBI agent
whom he gave a pet collar as a gag Christmas gift, threatened physical
assault of a subordinate and damaged government property by punching
holes in walls and throwing chairs.

The discipline report also said Orsini "made unprofessional and

U.S. Citizen Put on No-Fly List to Pressure Him Into Becoming FBI Informant
Posted: 06/07/2012 7:50 pm

It didn't seem terribly strange to Kevin Iraniha when an FBI agent showed up at his door in August 2011 just after he returned from a whirlwind trip through India, Egypt and Iran.

The 27-year-old Iranian American says the agent was "very friendly" and just kept repeating that, "You have been to a lot more places than we have and our job is to build relationships so if you see anything out of the ordinary and since you're involved in certain things that we're not involved in, and have expertise in, feel free to come to us without hesitation." He even met with the FBI agent once more after that.

It didn't strike him as being a problem until this week.

Iraniha, a U.S. citizen, born in the naval hospital in San Diego, California where his mother works in the Navy (she's an American born in Michigan) was bred in San Diego and is a known pro-Palestinian and anti-war activist. He just graduated with a masters degree in International Law with a focus on the peaceful settlement of disputes from the United Nations-accredited University for Peace in Costa Rica and was boarding a flight home to San Diego on Frontier Airlines this Tuesday, June 5, with his two brothers and father when he was informed that he is on a no-fly list.

Two Years Later, Activists Raided by FBI Demand Grand Jury Investigation Be Closed
By: Kevin Gosztola Friday September 21, 2012

Nearly two years ago, the FBI raided the homes of nine antiwar, labor and international solidarity activists in Chicago, Michigan and Minnesota. The activists, along with fourteen others, were issued subpoenas to appear before a federal grand jury empaneled to investigate the activists for providing “material support to terrorism.” Each activist refused to testify because they understood their activism on behalf of Palestinians, Colombians and others in the world was what the Justice Department was investigating and they have a right under the First Amendment to assemble, organize, engage in freedom of speech and dissent against the policies of the United States government.

The activists now call upon Attorney General Eric Holder and Acting US Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, Gary Shapiro, to close the investigation. As Michael Deutsch, an attorney representing some of the activists states, “Not one bit of evidence has been produced. Not any charges and yet they remain under this cloud of an investigation.” So all who have been targeted believe the government should announce the investigation is over, no criminal charges will be issued and everyone can continue to do their activism without interference from any law enforcement or government agency.

Palestinian solidarity activist and executive director of the Arab-American Action Network, Hatem Abudayyeh, was one of the twenty-three raided. The FBI still has yet to return personal property it seized from him and his family in the raid.

The first rule of engagement when dealing with taxpayer funded FBI agents is they are not accountable to anybody.

FBI Refuses To Turn Over File of Saudi Hacking Investigation Says File 'doesn't exist'
Saturday, 22 September 2012
In defiance of the Freedom Of Information Act, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has refused to turn over the file of a six month investigation of Saudi hacking and illegal film distribution in the US.

The FBI claiming the file "doesn't exist" says it thus cannot comply with the Freedom of Information Act. The request was sent directly to FBI Director Robert Mueller more than three months ago and resent twice.

In fact, a large portion of the file, correspondence with three different FBI Agents working on the investigation, is currently held by journalist Jo Franklin.

"It is astonishing they claim they can't comply with the Freedom of Information Act saying it doesn't exist. I have a large portion of it.

One has to wonder what they are trying to conceal in the rest of it,"
noted Ms. Franklin. The Freedom of Information Act mandates the Justice Department release the file within 21 days.

By Rosie Gray Mon., Nov. 7 2011
The FBI has released a cache of documents about the Village Voice dating from 1969 to 1997 that are now available under FOIA. Bomb threats! Contras! Secret lists! Ed Koch vs. J. Edgar Hoover!

First up: were Village Voice subscribers in the '70s added to a creepy secret government list? A letter from a disgruntled and possibly paranoid subscriber in 1970:

Revealed: The FBI's Secretive Practice of "Blackballing" Files

Revealed The FBIs Secretive Practice of Blackballing Files



Have you ever filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with the FBI and received a written response from the agency stating that it could not locate records responsive to your request?

If so, there's a chance the FBI may have found some documents, but for unknown reasons, the agency's FOIA analysts determined it was not responsive and "blackballed" the file, crucial information the FBI withholds from a requester when it issues a "no records" response.

The FBI's practice of "blackballing" files has never been publicly disclosed before. With the exception of one open government expert, a half-dozen others contacted by Truthout said they were unfamiliar with the process of "blackballing" and had never heard of the term.

Trevor Griffey learned about "blackballing" last year when he filed a FOIA/Privacy Act request with the FBI to determine whether Manning Marable, a Columbia University professor who founded the Institute for Research in African-American Studies, sought the FBI's files on Malcolm X under FOIA. At the time of his death last April, Marable had just finished writing an exhaustive biography on the late civil rights activist. Griffey filed the FOIA hoping he would receive records to assist him with research related to a long-term civil rights project he has been working on.

In a letter the agency sent in response to his FOIA, the FBI told Griffey that it could not locate "main file records" on Marable responsive to his request. Last November, in response to a FOIA request Truthout filed with the FBI for a wide-range of documents on the Occupy Wall Street, the agency also said it was unable to "identify main file records responsive to [our] FOIA," despite the fact that internal FBI documents related to the protest movement had already been posted on the Internet. The FBI has been criticized in the past for responding to more than half of the FOIA requests the agency had received by claiming it could not locate responsive files.

Did the FBI Bury Oklahoma City Bombing Evidence?
One lawyer's relentless quest for information reveals fresh hints of a coverup.

In 2007, Mother Jones was the first national media outlet to tell the full story of Jesse Trentadue and his quest for the truth, which began four months after the attack on Oklahoma City's Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building on April 19, 1995, killed 168 people. It was then that Trentadue, a Salt Lake City lawyer, learned that his brother, a construction worker and one-time bank robber, had died in a federal prison in Oklahoma City.

Prison officials said the prisoner had hanged himself. But Kenney Trentadue, who had never revealed any suicidal inclination, was shipped home for burial with bruises all over his body and lacerations on his face and throat—suggesting something more sinister. Even Oklahoma City's chief medical examiner would later say, publicly, that it was "very likely he was murdered." But the most compelling evidence in the case was altered or turned up missing. Jesse Trentadue was never able to prove what had actually happened to his brother—though he did win a $1.1 million civil suit for "emotional distress" to his family, based on the way the government had handled the aftermath of Kenney's death.
