The Following Statement Is A Lie -- Which Should Come As No Surprise Since It Concerns The FBI

"The FBI has conducted clandestine surveillance on some U.S. residents for as long as 18 months at a time without proper paperwork or oversight, according to previously classified documents to be released today."

The following statement, however, is far more typical of how the FBI has a history of operating illegally and why it should abolished:

"In one case, FBI agents kept an unidentified target under surveillance for at least five years -- including more than 15 months without notifying Justice Department lawyers after the subject had moved from New York to Detroit."

The FBI regularly conducts illegal surveillance on American citizens which can go on for much longer than the 18 month or 5 year time frames listed above. In the case of the late Constitutional Rights Activist Frank Wilkinson, the FBI conducted an illegal COINTELPRO operation against him for 32 consecutive years, and at a cost of 7 million dollars. And Wilkinson is far from the only person who was covertly attacked by the FBI for decades.

The Bureau has waged a covert attack on myself for nearly three decades, which I have documented throughout this Website; along with its collusive efforts with the NSA to subjugate me to the life of a satellite prisoner.

Just a few of the more famous people/organizations whom the FBI conducted long-term illegal COINTELPRO's on include:

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Albert Einstein
Nicola Tesla
Actress Jean Seberg
Ecoactivist Judi Bari
The American Indian Movement
The Black Panther Party
The Puerto Rican Independence Movement
The Socialist Worker Party Movement
The Civil Rights movement in the South which took shape during the 1960's was under constant covert assault by the FBI


"The FBI has conducted clandestine surveillance on some U.S. residents for as long as 18 months at a time without proper paperwork or oversight, according to previously classified documents to be released today.

Records turned over as part of a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit also indicate that the FBI has investigated hundreds of potential violations related to its use of secret surveillance operations, which have been stepped up dramatically since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks but are largely hidden from public view.

In one case, FBI agents kept an unidentified target under surveillance for at least five years -- including more than 15 months without notifying Justice Department lawyers after the subject had moved from New York to Detroit.

In other cases, agents obtained e-mails after a warrant expired, seized bank records without proper authority and conducted an improper "unconsented physical search," according to the documents.

The records were provided to The Washington Post by the Electronic Privacy Information Center(EPIC), an advocacy group that has sued the Justice Department for records relating to the Patriot Act.

David Sobel, EPIC's general counsel, said the new documents raise questions about the extent of possible misconduct in counterintelligence investigations and underscore the need for greater congressional oversight of clandestine surveillance within the United States.

"We're seeing what might be the tip of the iceberg at the FBI and across the intelligence community," Sobel said. "It indicates that the existing mechanisms do not appear adequate to prevent abuses or to ensure the public that abuses that are identified are treated seriously and remedied."
