Emails Reveal Fed Agency Asked Law Enforcement to Stand Down and Not Arrest Occupiers After Consulting Obama White House

Judicial Watch: GSA, Obama Administration Ordered Law Enforcement to Stand Down on Occupy Portland Protesters

Documents obtained by Judicial Watch, a conservative watchdog group, indicate that General Services Administration (GSA) officials, with approval from the Obama administration, ordered local law enforcement officers to stand down and not arrest Occupy Portland protesters after they seemingly broke the law last year.

The records, obtained by Judicial Watch pursuant to a November Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, include internal DHS correspondence.

On Nov. 6, 2011, DHS/National Protection and Programs Directorate Chief of Staff Caitlin Durkovich and GSA Public Buildings Service Commissioner Robert Peck, who has since been fired, communicated via email and specifically discussed Occupy Portland protests that were occurring on federal property in Portland. Durkovich wrote:

I am sorry to be emailing you on a Sunday night, but wanted to let you know our Press Shop has received a couple of calls from Portland media outlets about a group of 11 protesters who again set up camp at Terry Shrunk Plaza in Portland last night. They have chained themselves to a large drum filled with concrete. GSA controls the permits and has asked FPS [Federal Protective Services] not to enforce the curfew at park and the prohibition on overnight encampments. Reporters have asked if we will be arresting the protestors as FPS did last week.

Our FPS Commander in Portland says they are standing down and following GSA’s request to only intervene if there is a threat to public safety.

Peck responded:

Caitlin: yes, that is our position; it’s been vetted with our Administrator and Michael Robertson, our chief of staff, and we have communicated with the WH [White House], which has afforded us the discretion to fashion our approach to Occupy issues…The arrests last week were carried out despite our request that the protesters be allowed to remain and to camp overnight…

Further, a week before this email exchange, the Oregonian reported that “Twenty-five Occupy Portland demonstrators were arrested… after refusing to leave Jamison Square. The arrests capped an intense hours-long standoff between police and dozens of protesters who refused to leave the Pearl District park after it was declared closed at midnight. Officers, some in riot gear and others on horses, faced off with protesters who remained in the square, despite being ordered to leave.”

Peck resigned from GSA earlier this year after it was discovered the agency spent $823,000 on a lavish Las Vegas “training conference,” which included a mind reader, clown and a $31,208 reception.

Though President Obama previously said he “understands” the frustrations of Occupy protesters, he and his administration have been careful not to openly promote the movement.

The Washington Examiner reports that the Obama White House denied on a number of occasions that nobody in the administration had given aid or encouragement to the protests last year, which many times inevitably degenerated into public and private property damage, drug use, violent crimes, including rape, and public health violations.

“We now have a new GSA scandal – one that involves the Obama White House,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton in a statement. “These documents clearly show that federal agencies colluded with the Obama White House to allow the Occupy Wall Street protestors to violate the law with impunity.  These documents tell us that the GSA and DHS can’t be relied upon to protect federal workers or property.”

      A DHS whistleblower informed the Canada Free Press “that the DHS is actively preparing for massive social unrest inside the United States. He then corrected himself, stating that ‘a civil war’ is the more appropriate term. ‘Certain elements of the government are not only expecting and preparing for it, they are actually facilitating it.’”

      A “Reichstag event” refers to a fire started in Germany‘s legislature during Hitler’s rise to power. The fire allowed him to grab emergency powers and eliminate his opposition. While he blamed it on Communists, historians have long believed that Hitler started the fire himself.

      According to the anonymous “whistleblower” inside Obama’s DHS, this “Reichstag event” would take the form of a staged assassination attempt against Barack Obama, “carefully choreographed” and manufactured by Obama operatives. It would subsequently be blamed on “white supremacists” and used to enrage the black community to rioting and looting, the DHS source warned.

      The Obama administration would then use the violence and chaos they created as justification for the imposition of martial law in major urban cities in America, the creation of DHS checkpoints, restriction of travel, and the indefinite delay of the November 2012 elections:

      I’ve said a million times on this board that Ozero,Obozo,Oblamer, Obamaunist created Occupy Wall St. He is probably secretly earning royalties for the T-Shirt sales, which are sad at best. OWS had murders, upteen rapes, loitering, littering and drugs. The Tea Party had none of that stuff, they picked up litter, and the only violence that has occurred at a Tea Party event was when the black Tea Party Patron was beaten up by a set of pathetic Union Thugs….(Obama Thugs..)

      It was blatantly obvious that the cops were told not to arrest. It works like this, Obozo tells Holder, Holder tells DHS, then the DHS tells the States Attorneys General and so on and so forth on down the line.

      Everything that Obozo does has failed miserably. How anyone could vote for this mindnumbing failure is beyond me. Don’t forget how much of a disaster OWS, The Government Motors Union shafting of the public disaster, The Obamacare failure, The NO Jobs council failure, The shovel ready jobs failure, The NO Vetting failure (he was raised by communist and groomed by communist, he is a communist believer) Everything top to bottom failure.

A careful read of the article and one should notice zero mention of Obama. “Communicated with the Whitehouse” is a vague phrase and does mean Obama was involved. “after they seemingly broke the law” is also vague and no detailed conclusion can be made. The Occupy standoffs were a sticky situation. It put the government in a situation of having to choose between infringing on the right to assemble and enforcing curfew laws with the risk of violence. I find it amusing the Beck petting types who advocate the threat of violence “We came unarmed, this time” got all uppity over OWS. “The Tea Party” named after a revolt that was violent and involved destroying private property, raiding ships and tossing goods into the ocean got all bent over OWS making a ruckus.

There have not been any incidences of Tea Party members defecating on Police cars at a Tea party rally. I am not sure what kind of point you think you are making by claiming that Tea Party members are cowards. I refer back to the B. Bunny quote. As for claiming that everyone is being controlled by the Koch brothers, (Ref B. Bunny quote), the so-called involvement of the Koch brothers is tenuous at best. Someone who is very involved in politics and political movements if George Soros, the man who aided the Nazis in WW2 rounding up his fellow Jews and confiscating their property. Once again, Ref B. Bunny.

      The original Tea Party was not violent. The revolutionary war that followed AFTER the British introduced violence in retaliation was. In fact, AFTER the Boston citizens threw the teas overboard they (in typical Tea Party Fashion) cleaned up for the ships’ owners and even swept the decks. As for why we went after the tea that did not yet belong to us in the first place, the explanation is too long to post here, but if you know how to read, you can look it up in about 1000 places. I’d suggest http://www.boston-tea-party.org/index.html, the official website of TBTP Historical Society.

      Now lets look at the Tea Party of the 21st century vs. the Occupy movement…

      Violence… Occupy – yes, Tea Party – No.
      Arrests… Occupy – yes, Tea Party – No.
      Defecating on Police Cars… Occupy – yes, Tea Party – No.
      Destruction of private property… Occupy – of course, Tea Party – No.
      Rape… Occupy – oh hell yes, Tea Party – No.
      Garbage and Filth during… Occupy – yes, Tea Party – No.
      Garbage and filth remaining afterwards… Occupy – tons, Tea Party – not a speck.

      And, to your last point… “All mouth & no Balls” – don’t mistake our tolerance for weakness.

      All government agencies work for the President, he appointed the cabinet members to enforce the laws within each agencies, when a agency stops enforcing the laws then we all have lost as a people. Unlike the wasted, miss-guided people that support the OWS, the Tea party is winning at the ground floor, playing within the system to return some sense back to this country. You know nothing of the Tea party, so you bring up things that happen over 200 years ago and fill this site with the standard socialist propaganda. I want a nation of laws that are enforced, not a nation of men doing what they want, not enforcing laws they don’t agree with!

      OWS was a farce. It devolved into the typical lefty petrie dish of germs and bacteria every lefty gathering becomes. Rapes, disease, mindlessness, drug use, destruction of property were rife in the OWS protests. It was a physical and public relations train wreck for the left. OWS garnered no public support or political muscle from their blatant disregard for the law. They left millions of dollars in costs behind in the cities they were eventually expelled from..including liberal enclaves like Oakland and Los Angeles. They were a liability both in fiscal and political terms.

      And when you say “I never gave support to some of OWS (sic) activities) that‘s like a German in 1930’s Germany saying “I never gave support to some of the brownshirts activities”. Oh so you only want to claim support for whatever perceived “positive” activities the group offered..and you want to disown the negative ones? It doesn’t work that way champ. You idiot.

      Beckbuster, they DID in fact sweep the decks before they left. And if you think that the Tea Party in Boston was a violent act, I’m sorry that you never got the benefit of a decent education.

      Not one person was harmed at this event in our history. In fact the violence started later when British soldiers fired into an unarmed crowd of peaceful protesters, taking human life.

      So if you’re advocating that those on the side of the Tea Party are not the ones you wish to side with, then you must be for the oppressors who chose to fight words with bullets. Which I think places you right about in the “Occupy” area of the spectrum (except that liberals hate guns, remember?).

      I pray that we never have to defend our very lives from those who would seek to silence us and take our earnings from us without representation by force, but, rest assured, that if that day again comes, Those on the Tea Party side of the fight will put a second notch in the “win” column.

      Instead of insulting folks, maybe you could try studying a number of sources and see if you can find the places where history agrees, then ask yourself if you REALLY trust those on the left who tell you to believe them without question, who take so much from you and give you so little while telling you they’re your friend, who take their millions and hide in ivory towers shouting down to you to hate the OTHER rich people who are their enemies.

We are also bound by the division of those who produce vs those who suck at the teat, and the teat suckers are so far winning…and the biggest teat sucker IS the government. And as for the rule of law?…no, we no longer are governed under rule of law, but under rule BY law, making it perfectly “legal” to be a tyrant, whether using infinitely increasing numbers of local, state, federal laws or now, apparently, UN treaties as well. Also, the “three branches of government” have fused into one rotten, cancerous branch which exists to feed only itself and benefit only itself. The few healthy twigs that sprout are quickly pruned off by the underlying dominant sickness.
