[lbo-talk] manufacturing anarchist news

[Nicholas Roberts]

As the Occupy movement carries out massive May Day protests around the
country, the FBI Joint Terrorism Task force is trumpeting the arrest of
“self-proclaimed anarchists” and “terrorists” who allegedly conspired to
destroy a bridge in Ohio. Integral to the development and advancement of
this plot, however, were FBI agents themselves and an informant with a drug
and robbery record.

It should come as no surprise, then, that the announcement of these arrests
was carefully unveiled yesterday, so that the top news story this May Day
would not be about howanarchists are preventing home foreclosures, starting
community gardens <http://whatthefuckhasoccupydone.com/>, teaching
collective organizing skills, and re-framing class consciousness, but about
how they were part of an FBI-guided “terrorist plot.”
