Provocations against Ward Churchill page

June 9 2007

Ordinarily at this time we would be mobilizing students and academics to support Ward Churchill. Thanks to the growth of the parasitic sector, we are now spending our time handling cops and spies who had the goal of pinning death threats on Ward Churchill supporters in order to poison the environment against Ward Churchill in Colorado.

In the New York demonstrations against the Republican National Convention in 2004, we saw "siren abuse," in which police cars ran their sirens non-stop as if some dire emergency had arisen, such as an invasion from Mars. The siren abuse creates an impression politically while boosting the self- importance of those with sirens.

Likewise, in 2005 with the Ward Churchill furor, every two-bit cop and spy descended into MIM and Ward Churchill circles. The provocations justified the employment of these individuals and also gave them an opportunity to strike back against a published author on the FBI who has also excoriated U.$. imperialism's international role in a fashion similar to Noam Chomsky. Before November, 2006 the enemy pursued this strategy with abandon and regardless of the Hatch Act.

Our explanation for police motivations has been the same since we started working on the Ward Churchill case. Our enemy as usual wanted things both ways and has sought to discredit MIM motivations in two opposite directions, with things only now in 2007 settling into one direction. It can be no other way, because police do not know how to study motivations scientifically.

The enemy's chronology-challenged explanation of provocations also makes no sense timing-wise. It is clear that we have a spurt of provocations targeting MIM and Ward Churchill precisely since 2005. The goal has been to scare the people of Colorado away from supporting Ward Churchill.

To start things off in 2005, the enemy searched files and found an individual who is relevant to both MIM and Ward Churchill. A long-time agent posing as a MIM supporter then posted a death-threat against the individual. MIM arranged to have it taken down, but there were so many other agents in motion at the time, the struggle did not end there with the "Testosterone Incident."

Periodically as in every few years, we get a weapons provocation. We found ourselves having one in Colorado. Here is a typical justification from the Red State mentality that "terrorism" is about scapegoats. These are the kind of people who do not realize that Colin Powell delivered millions in aid to the Taliban just before 9/11, but they do know that "Taliban John"'s religion is way different than theirs. So appearing in Marxist-Leninist-Maoist circles with the credit for People's War, these two-bit cops started talking as if "jihadists" had found something new.

Then we had a report of a Colorado meeting with a weapons provocation.

By 2006, the whole lynch mob was going crazy with the whole litany of child molesting, rape, spying, owning weapons of mass destruction and terrorism routine. In November 2006, the most serious provocations had come to an end with a federal agent admitting responsibility for death threats supposedly issued by hacking mentioned here. If you did not see the struggle connected to that, you missed out.
