Gee, there must be a lot of cops reading this!  Oakland PD, FBI, etc..

Okay, so listen up, coppers:

GO GET A REAL CASE.

Clearly, these EF!ers are trying to be an effective political force.  That's their right.  They're generally a pretty harmless bunch (bad apples and entrapment cases notwithstanding), and besides, they are "more sinned against than sinning".  So why not get off their backs and strike out at a new, far-more-worthy target?

THE OWNERS OF AMERICA'S NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS!

Note that after the recent "friendly fire" accidental bombing at an Afghanistan wedding, which FOX NEWS is reporting resulted in at least 200 deaths and 400 injuries, we can EXPECT a terrorist attack on our nuclear power plants IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS (perhaps this July 4th holiday weekend, perhaps sooner).  These targets have been threatened many times, by REALLY EVIL TERRORISTS.  Not these EF!ers.

Even though America was already at a heightened state of alert, this horrific new "collateral damage" bombing incident makes things far worse, because it is sure to trigger every "sleeper cell" in America.  The "fallout" from this incident may be literal fallout, this time.

ARE YOU READY? 

I *K*N*O*W* YOU ARE NOT READY!  Every nuke plant is vulnerable.  Every spent fuel pool.  Every dry storage cask.  Most of you cops reading this probably don't even know what a "spent fuel pool" is!

Well, you better learn, and quickly, because America could have to evacuate millions of people if a spent fuel pool or dry storage cask is attacked -- it would be better not to let it happen in the first place, right?  Millions may die in the next few days, weeks, and months because of this threat, yet those cops and agents who are reading this are still going after these "tree huggers"!  Get your priorities straight!  Demand assignments working to stop the Nuclear Mafia!

Go do your work where it will do the most good, and leave these poor tree-huggers alone, okay?  They are not your enemy -- Corporate America (which runs the government and the military here, and sets our nation's pro-nuclear, anti-environmental, oil-burning, non-renewable policies) is as much your enemy as it is everyone else's in America.

Forget Enron, Worldcom, and Xerox.  That's just enough corporate greed to prove it's pervasive (and drop the DOW a thousand points or so).

Instead, go after all the privatized cash cows known as nuclear power plants, which are creating TARGETS FOR TERRORISTS (known as "nuclear waste" or "spent reactor cores") every day the nuke plants remain open.

Please DO YOUR JOBS, for God's sake.  Now, before it's too late.  Stop screwing up the lives and goals of these activists, and go after some real criminals.

Sincerely,

Russell D. Hoffman

Bari Case Blows Up on Agency
Federal Bureau of Instigation

Anyone who buys the line that the FBI's bad old days ended with the death of
J. Edgar Hoover can think again. Take one look at the scarcely believable
tale of how the agency set up the environmental activist Judi Bari when her
car exploded in May 1990 in Oakland.

This month, a federal court awarded a total of $4.4 million in damages to
Bari's estate (she died of cancer in 1997) and to passenger Darryl Cherney.
The pair had charged local police and the FBI with a gross violation of
civil rights. The verdict repeatedly singled out the senior agent on the
scene for his outrageous behavior.

The story goes like this: On the morning of May 24, 1990, a pipe bomb
exploded directly under the driver's seat, shattering Bari's pelvis and
lower backbone and leaving her permanently disabled. Cherney suffered minor
injuries. The two were on a tour to recruit students for Redwood Summer, a
series of protests against corporate logging. Bari awoke 12 hours later to
policemen telling her she was under arrest for possessing explosives. They,
of course, had not bothered even to question her. Bari had received death
threats in the weeks before, but the FBI never followed up.

In the beginning, the cops claimed Bari and Cherney had themselves put the
bomb in the back seat, where it accidentally went off. However, files
released during the court proceedings revealed that when supervisory special
agent David R. Williams—the FBI crime lab's top explosives expert—inspected
the car, he pointed out to special agent Frank Doyle evidence clearly
showing the device had been stowed under the driver's seat. Yet Doyle
continued to tell the press that Bari and Cherney were the only suspects.

Throughout their sworn testimony, the FBI agents repeatedly said that they
never heard of Bari or Cherney before the bombing, and that they were not
investigating Earth First!, to which the activists belonged.

But an FBI field report, written minutes after the bomb exploded, states
that Bari and Cherney were "the subjects of an FBI investigation in the
terrorist department." Cherney-Bari lawyers used these facts to argue that
the FBI agents lied in their sworn testimony before the court.

The history of the FBI's involvement with Earth First! is lengthy and
disgusting. Before Bari's car blew up, the Bureau was in the final phases of
Thermcon, an Arizona sting that involved 50 agents and was aimed at casting
Dave Foreman, co-founder of the group, as a terrorist who made use of
explosives. The FBI managed to infiltrate a small chapter of Earth First!,
and having successfully planted an agent inside, tried to push the
environmentalists into using thermite to take out a power line. But, as the
alternative Albion Monitor relates the story: "The activists declined the
infiltrator's offer of explosives, and he settled for providing them with a
cutting torch instead. The agent provided the equipment, trained the
activists to use it, chose the target, and drove them to the site, then
joined an FBI strike team in busting them in the act on May 31, 1989. The
case ended in plea bargaining with two activists—not Foreman—going to jail.

Several of the agents involved in Thermcon also worked on the Bari bombing,
reports the Albion Monitor. FBI records obtained through the Freedom of
Information Act indicate that the FBI had been spying on Earth First! since
the group started in 1981. The paper reports that "heavily censored" FBI
documents made available through Bari's suit detail weekly meetings in 1990
between an agent and informant in California.

Local law enforcement has been just as invasive. In his deposition, Oakland
Police Department intelligence chief Kevin Griswold revealed that the cops
maintain files on 300 political organizations and individuals. He said the
Oakland cops had been spying on Earth First! ever since 1984.
