A federal search warrant issued on the basis of allegations made by an FBI agent related to Seattle’s violent 2012 May Day protests. A close reading of the redacted version linked below reveals that contrary to the assertion of some (A)narchist apologists, the innocent were targeted along with public property and symbols of corporate-government dominion.

The warrant appears to suggest there is already sufficient evidence for an indictment. So what are the feds waiting for? Could they have provided immunity, even for the guilty subpoenaed to testify before the federal Grand Jury, in order to target bigger fish than the youthful vacuous zealots wielding the flag poles, injuring photojournalists, assaulting innocent drivers, slashing tires, smashing car windows, or defacing & destroying public property? If this is, as some sympathizers suggest, part of a much wider net being cast, the feds may be attempting to bring to ground those instigators and academic provocateurs behind the scenes seldom seen by and unknown to the public in their catalytic roles.
Pacific NW campuses are used as venues to brain storm and coordinate planned direct action against the state. The senior academic instigators are too clever to get their own hands dirty in such a public manner. Being privileged comfortably tenured academics, salaried by the state no less, they manipulate and encourage our callow youth instead. Thus, the state has opted to incarcerate Grand Jury resisters who may/may not be guilty of criminal offenses/conspiracies in an attempt to break them, to coerce them into revealing the wider network of radicals plotting smashing the state. Many of these are unreconstructed retreads from SDS (Students for a Democratic Society) and Marxist-Leninist days.
