By Dan Feidt for Twin Cities Indymedia -
More than 300 newly released pages of Iowa FBI investigation files
confirm the existence of a busy network of federal agents across the
Midwest dedicated to clamping down on political dissenters. A Freedom
of Information Act request by Des Moines' David Goodner revealed two
extensive "Terrorism Enterprise" style investigations against
dissenters mainly run by the Omaha FBI office into Iowa, including
digging through garbage, watching restaurants, advanced data mining
and cell phone record collection. The agents involved claimed
"statistical accomplishment" of saving our nation from terrorism:
this is exactly, how, and why, federal agents endlessly create
pretend counterterror campaigns.
More incidents keep spilling out: yet another

First a quick related note: Minnesotans' political activities also
have been targeted in Pennsylvania, as indicated by the recently
exposed confidential state homeland security contract with an
Israeli-American 'counter terror' consultancy, paid by taxpayers to
spy on the activities of many political dissidents. Both the
Pennsylvania case and the Iowa/Omaha investigations targeted
Minnesotans because their political activities made them visible. The
Pennsylvania homeland security

info. Along with info about any events involving the controversial
Marcellus Shale gas drilling projects, various random anarchist,
antiwar and Islamic events and holidays got described in ominous
tones. A "Yes Men Save the World" screening could trigger illegal
actions, warned the Israeli-American consultants.

Turning back to the Iowa FBI documents, we can learn a number of
important structural features about how the FBI's turbocharged
domestic terrorism machine targets people, feeds data around, and
adds people to the actual main Terrorist Watchlist. A number of
interesting features emerge from the Iowa/Omaha FBI investigations,
though heavily redacted. The investigation methods including
LexisNexis and obscure tracking systems, as well as the
propagandizing material distributed among authorities like the
infamous tattoo paranoia pamphlet, are laid out in the docs. We can't
learn everything, but we can clearly see that federal agents are
incentivized to accuse people of more-or-less quasi-terrorism, then
claim statistical terrorism accomplishments to advance their careers.
The proof is all in these documents. Are you feeling safer yet?
Are you interested in finding out what the Feds have on you? TC
Indymedia previously hosted a workshop with Rich Neumeister & Coleen
Rowley on how to do FOIA requests like the one that generated this
material.
<http://www.aclu-or.org/content/foia-does-fbi-have-file-you>Get your
FBI FOIA via ACLU-Oregon instructions. [16]
FBI Midwest Anarchist Paranoia: Cases 100A-OM-51967 & 266H-OM-52112
To "Claim Statistical Achievement"For Great Justice!
These excerpts are mostly in sequential order from the document
release. They chart the details and results of the FBI's two Iowa
spying campaigns, from the kickoff 'predicate' findings to launch the
investigation, to scribbled field notes & cell phone logs, to the
closing 'cleanup' messages. For more on the cryptic codes, see
<http://www.historyofphonephreaking.org/writings/htraff/>How to Read
an FBI File [17] from HistoryofPhonePhreaking.org. See also
<http://www.abbreviations.com/acronyms/FBI>FBI Files Abbreviations [18].
Every FBI case has 'serial' files. A handy tip as seen on the first
part we look at: Serial numbers are frequently handwritten in the
lower right-hand corner of the front of the document in large
letters. They consist of the file number (without the HQ or Field
Office identifier) followed by a dash and the serial number.
At the beginning, the FBI Omaha Squad 6, Cedar Rapids Resident Agency
or Agent (RA) opens a case titled "Wild Rose Rebellion" on March 12,
2008. SA = Special Agent. You can see this is serial #2 of the whole
FBI casefile, 100A-OM-51967. (OM means Omaha, 100A can mean the US
Code violation they're suggesting). Classic: the Hoover-Esque
bold/typewriter/redacted aesthetic, unchecked federal paranoia at its
most pure. This kicks off the "ROUTINE" formalized FBI concept of the
Wild Rose Rebellion, from which many Statistical Accomplishments can
be claimed, like Nintendo Golden Coins for GMen.
The second page of real material (p13 in the PDF) shows the
apparently important 'Accomplishment Information'. Similar things are
in a
<http://www.aclu.org/files/FilesPDFs/direct%20action%20foia%20document.pdf>2005
animal rights-related FOIA posted by the ACLU for example [19].
"<http://www.google.com/search?rls=en&q=fbi+report+statistical+accomplishments&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8>Statistical
Accomplishments" are a main metric [20] for FBI career progress.
According to
<http://www.northjersey.com/news/Records_show_feds_used_ultra-right_radio_host_for_years.html>NorthJersey.com,
infamous shock jock & FBI informant/operative Hal Turner boasted [21]
of major 'statistical accomplishments'. This is the primary career
incentive to fabricate terrorism cases into (and outside) the FBI.
The next part is interesting because it's essentially the bootup
script of an FBI Terrorism Enterprise spying campaign, "document SAC
[Special Agent in Charge] Omaha Division authority to open a new
Terrorism Enterprise Preliminary Investigation" targeted at a
mysterious WILD ROSE REBELLION of Iowa City. Notice the "Attn: Squad
5" area -- all those squads are under Omaha it appears. SSA is
Supervisory Special Agent. IA is Intelligence Agent. It looks like
Squads 5, 7 and 9 are controlled by Omaha, and further indications of
their structure appears later. "Counterterrorism" is probably among
the main FBI headquarters branch - more on that below.
The only tangible is the intangible "potentially criminal acts" --
the originating office (OO) is OM - Omaha. What a great title ...
case 100A-OM-51967 (Pending) has expanded its Title into the exciting
WILD ROSE REBELLION - A RESISTENCE BETWEEN TWO RIVERS aka
UNCONVENTIONAL ACTION - MIDWEST; TERRORISM ENTERPRISE INVESTIGATION.
ALL CAPS excitement! "Vacillating" anarchists... The FOIA did not
actually produce the TEI (Terrorism Enterprise Investigation) Goals
and Objectives, sadly.
This next bit includes the magical command words incarnating the
FBI's powers to arbitrarily turn yr life upside down. CDC Omaha can
"finds the predication for this TEI exists" because it contains
essentially anything possibly illegal. (What does CDC acronym mean
though?) Clearly here there is no indication of any criteria
resembling actual terrorism, namely real threats to people's safety.
Instead it is basically proven here: if you try to plan anything
illegal then the Midwest FBI TEI Predicate is Good To Go, and the
garbage searching and cellphone subpoenas May Commence!
What could possibly go wrong? Time to setup a network of federal
terror investigations! Interestingly we next find the setting of
"leads" in different FBI branches as triggers, as the Omaha FBI
office lays total claim of ownership to controlling the WILD ROSE
REBELLION situation.
The Omaha Field Intelligence Group is activated, as well as the Cedar
Rapids Resident Agency.
The next order sets the trigger for collecting drivers license and
other data from investigation targets, at least "provides identifying
information of [redacted] LNU" ... This is all kicking off in March
2008. Squad 9 is revealed as part of the Field Intelligence Group
(FIG), and again OO means Originating Office, OM is Omaha (In the
Case ID, OM also means Omaha).
<http://www.abbreviations.com/acronyms/FBI/11>LNU means Last Name Unknown [22].
This one also is Omaha FIG = Yes stamped/checked, kind of an
interesting stamp. FBI documents have an unique structure: hidden
blocks, key handwritten additions and stamped acts-of-acceptance.
Good example here. This info came through the "FIG" or Field
Intelligence Group, the purely-FBI-based workgroup in each main FBI
field office under the Directorate of Intelligence.
The methods used to track people they found in Iowa get spelled out
to some extent.
<http://www.fas.org/irp/agency/doj/fbi/is/ncic.htm>NCIC is the
National Crime Information Center [23]. Interestingly, some secret
commercial database and LexisNexis play a major role in
investigations. The
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_Case_File>ACS is the Automated
Case Support system [24], a decidedly antiquated system which SAIC
and other contractors have profitably tried, and failed, to replace.
(LexisNexis has many special data operations it markets to law
enforcement & intelligence - see the
<http://www.lexisnexis.com/government/solutions/intelligence/supercomputer.aspx>Data
Analytics Supercomputer [25] &
<http://www.lexisnexis.com/government/solutions/investigative/advanced-solutions.aspx>Advanced
Investigative Solutions [26]!) Sekrit NexisLexis? Look carefully -
federal panopticon typo LOLs=teh best!
Federal grant programs finance the production and publication of
exciting & ridiculous documents like the "Extremist Symbols, Tattoos
and Terminology" pamphlet. (Look for the grant numbers to trace who's
riding the gravy train.) They may be referring to a flyer like this
one, financed by Bureau of Justice Assistance Grant #
2007-MU-BX-K002, which also spawned a number of other similar goofy
advisories across many industries nationwide.
Clearly indicated here: propagandizing law enforcement against
anarchist tattoos. The so-called "Joint Terrorism Task Force" layer
of operations is clearly the main group involved in Cruising Around.
Omaha FBI executed one hell of a garbage surveillance plan in here --
Total Garbage Awareness? The federal garbage surveillance diagrams
are amazing--look thru the doc to see them. [Remember, this is where
your counter-terror resources were put.]
One interesting aspect is how "leads" are formalized and distributed
around the anti-Anarchist Fed network. Ramsey County deemed plenty of
imaginary information appropriate... Minneapolis considered it covered. Lulz...
More interesting stuff from analysts including LexisNexis and
Microsoft Streets & Trips.
The query system for LexisNexis phone numbers is powerful stuff with
records back to 1988 in this case.
Not released in FOIA: some CDs that looked like this. Note the case
number on discs. Graffiti ticked off Feds real well - they tend to
see it as the key symbols to unravelling criminal realities
evidently. (100A-OM-51967)
The real raw stuff here. The intrepid Joe Fridays and Jack Bauers of
the Pretend Time Iowa Rose Rebellion CounterTerrorism Force made lots
of notes of comings-and goings when doing active surveillance outside
restaurants. You do not want to appear on stuff like this.
Just another Minnesota tag parked near Deadwood, in the 21st Century
Midwest Surveillance State...
Whole Foods!
These surveillance photos have not been released yet but their
existence is disclosed in the FOIA. "Surveillances" should go into
Urban Dictionary.
A lot of Iowa DOT vehicle info collected...
Direct Action Skill Share recording at College Green park - content
not shared on this FOIA, but weird looking snazzy pic included ["Hi-8
Videocassette" looks photoshopped?] Everyone coming & going got
logged, but apparently no audio they claim.
Now the structure of overall Joint Terrorism Task Force busywork
comes into view. We can see the Iowa City spy project gave the
University of Iowa Public Safety and Coralville JTTF officers
something to do. TFO means Task Force Officer. SA is Special Agent.
It's worth wondering whether University of Minnesota JTTF-related
officers are spying on groups like SDS - this is really where data
requests could reveal what is going on at the state level. What
accountability can University of Iowa students obtain towards the
Iowa Joint Terrorism Task Force?
The ever-popular US Attorneys Office (USAO) of the Southern District
of Iowa (motto: "MOAR Corn & Creative Paranoia") "stated their
support of opening a criminal investigation" . No one ever picked up
any federal charges resembling this stuff, yet the mere hypothetical
prospect of it was more than enough for the South Iowa Justice League
to back this thing up. You can really have a lot of fun in these
cases without ticking off any rich white people.
Again this gives away that it has nothing to do with 'real
terrorism', instead the looser "apparent willingness to risk arrest
at the RNC conceivably by violating the criminal laws" is the
threshold for make total orwell.
Gotta check "each" everyone & see what goals they're trying to
further when "their continued association with individuals/groups who
espouse disrupting the RNC":
Heavily redacted RNC arrest reports follow, and the investigation
gets wound down because they apparently have nothing on anyone from
Iowa. It's time to claim FBI bonus points. Omaha Squad 6 / Cedar
Rapids Resident Agency claims POSITIVE TERRORISM Statistical
Accomplishment on September 9, 2008. This appears to be the main work
product of the investigation. Even though there wasn't any
terrorism... Bravo FBI Cedar Rapids Resident Agent Squad 6!
Again - "Statistical Accomplishment," especially easy pretend
accomplishments, are the Coin of The Realm in career advancement --
this is proof of a crucial reason why individual federal agents are
motivated to create fake terrorism situations. Squad 6 is definitely
with Cedar Rapids Resident Agent (or Agency) and apparently
contactable via a Special Agent (not a Resident Agent).
The October 21, 2008 has another helpful batch of notifications. DTOU
is the national FBI Domestic Terrorism Operations Unit (see this
<http://www.justice.gov/oig/special/s0604/index.htm>OIG report
involving the 2004 RNC/DNC & DTOU investigations [27]). "DT" means
Domestic Terrorism.
The "Anarchists Team" appears a subteam of "Domestic Terrorism
Operations 5" under the national FBI command structure. (Or not?
<http://www.justice.gov/oig/reports/FBI/a0410/orgchart.htm>Justice.gov
FBI counterterror org chart [28]). Thus did the Feds "DT-OPS 5
Anarchists Team" get revealed. Squads 5, 7 and 9 appear to be inside
Omaha FBI as noted above.
DT-OPS 5 and "Anarchists Teams" proven via the Leads connections to
the Domestic Terrorism Operations Unit.
The log file of surveillance files, with that anachronistic FBI
line-printer charm we know and love. This index shows how Case ID
100A-OM-51967 is appended #20-26 items originating with Omaha field office.
Squad 6 definitely has the Cedar Rapids Resident Agent.
These are FBI case file numbers...
But why have one case when you can have two? Starting June 3rd, 2008,
time to kick off yet another FBI investigation, case 266H-OM-52112,
which got dumped right into the Terrorism filez. The 2008RNC spawned
more espionage dubbed "spin-off" cases. Toll record information is
cell phone info, and lots of it. Lots. The analysts combed all the
numbers called, hundreds, and wrote about the patterns including how
voicemails worked.
The goal is to find out if they are bad kids! A nice open-ended
investigation, conveniently without a concrete base in any crimes.
This spin-off case sends its targets' info into TREX. TREX is the FBI
Terrorist Review and Examination Unit. VGTOF is the
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violent_Gang_and_Terrorist_Organization_File>Violent
Gang and Terrorist Organization File [29], run by the NCIC. VGTOF and
TREX are basically the Terrorism Watch List system, as well as
sources for the Investigative Data Warehouse, which is referenced
elsewhere, and the Terrorist Screening Database. So yes if you land
here, you are basically referenced as a terrorist to the Feds.
A ton of cell phone records get traced thoroughly, FBI analysts
looking for connections. They did not censor a lot of phone numbers.
This is all about targeting Minnesotans. I blocked out all the
numbers in red -- probably they were released by the FBI because the
phone record belongs to its owner.
Squad 9 is connected to the Des Moines Resident Agency and Omaha FBI
Field Intelligence Group.
Again we see the layout of several squads concerned with anarchists.
The first branch seems to be the national set, the Squad 5/7/9 are
controlled by Omaha.
The pages sent near the dates of the RNC are heavily censored, but
they had to shut both cases down by the end of 2008. This is how you
say FAIL in FBI Orwell Speak, including pulling "You == Terrorist"
entries out of VGTOF. Sadly US Attorneys of Southern District of Iowa
had to fold up their fishing expedition, but with whetted appetites
they would soon be back for Scott & Carrie!
"Set Lead" upon Close Case Investigation: Triggers set to activate
FBI Anarchists Teams, and also to pull out the hapless targets from
the VGTOF and TREX terrorist files!
And that's pretty much how two heavily censored FBI terrorism
investigation FOIA reports map out.
We've learned quite a bit about how each FBI case can easily lead to
getting placed in the TREX/VGTOF terrorist tracking database without
any real finding of threatening evidence. Again refer to
<http://www.aclu-or.org/content/foia-does-fbi-have-file-you>getting
your FBI FOIA info via ACLU-Oregon [16], and it might be amusing to
bug your elected officials about how this whole Cointelpro Gothic
scheme really works.
This report was mostly written just before the Minneapolis antiwar
activist FBI raids on Sept 24 2010. Weird week... Contact
<mailto:hongpong at hongpong.com>hongpong at hongpong.com [30] . UPDATE
POSTPONED until next week or so... This Friday 6-8 PM, join us for a
