February 3, 2002 Aryan Update


	Dear Terrible Tommy, I grew up in Monterey, California, which had been the old capitol of the State, before it was part of the U.S. So, I learned the history of the U.S. conquest of the State. The Spanish who settled in California, unlike those in other parts of the Spanish Empire, did not intermarry with the Indians. The reason usually given is that the California Indians were too primitive. At the time, Father Junipero Sierra came to the State, with an army to Christianize and enslave them found them to be literally naked savages at a hunter-gather stage of development. They did not even know the art of weaving, but were taught that by the Spanish missionaries. That established the original custom of the "Old Spanish" not intermarrying with the Indians. This remained the state of affairs down to the time of the U.S. conquest of California. In that war, the U.S. sent a navy and an army to take the State. The navy, under Admiral Sloat, arrived first at the capitol, in Monterey. They fired their cannons, once, at the Presideo, hitting nothing of importance and killing no one. The Presideo promptly surrendered. The reason given was that the residents of the State were Europeans of Spanish origin who felt no attachment to Mexico. Nor did Mexico support their economy, which was largely cattle ranches which exported leather. They would probably have preferred to be part of Spain, but they had no strong objection to being part of the United States. Following this conquest, the residents of Monterey held a public festivity to welcome the U.S. Navy. While I was a boy, this was still celebrated each year in Monterey on the anniversary of Sloat's landing. However, only a few days after this conquest, a messenger arrived from Washington D.C. with instructions to Admiral Sloat not to take the town before the army arrived. So, they got back in their ships and went back to sea. At that point, California was no longer part of Mexico, but an independent nation. This lasted for only a very short period of time. Then, the U.S. Army arrived under General Fremont. They encamped on the foothills of Fremont Peak just southeast of Salinas. This time the residents of Monterey resisted. They were independent, their own country, and they liked that arrangement. What they did was that they got together all their farm wagons and every other conveyance and marched towards the U.S. Army's position, making a great dust cloud. General Fremont surrendered. I do not recall whether history records if even a single shot was fired. But, it was not too long before the U.S. Navy returned. They fired their cannons once, hitting nothing of importance and killing no one, as before. The Presideo immediately surrendered. This time they threw a larger festivity as they had both the army and the navy in town That is the history of the conquest of California. It is a bit different than the myths the Mexicaca's are spreading about how the U.S. stole California. -------------------------------------------- Tommy says, I have studied closely the conquest of Southern California also and will write about it later. ************************************* WAR INFORMATION NETWORK 1-30-02 ************************************ PLEASE FORWARD Introduction In December 2001, I discovered that many Movement members were misinformed on how to obtain US department of Justice FBI files. Because this issue is often critical - particularly to Movement members who fail to exploit such intelligence before they forge alliances - I asked that it be circulated. What Are FBI Files, Exactly? Junior and veteran Movement members alike have heard - from friends or comrades - about FBI files. However, surprisingly few have obtained or even seen such files, and fewer still know what data sets FBI files contain, or that such files are valuable intelligence resources. Common myths, misconceptions, and urban legends about FBI files include: * FBI files contain your criminal record * FBI files are secret and unobtainable * FBI file data is static and invariably accurate None of these assertions are true. Let's briefly dispel each one now. Myth 1: FBI Files Contain Your Criminal Record FBI files rarely contain data on your criminal record proper. Dates of criminal convictions, places of incarceration, or criminal associations do occasionally appear in FBI files, but only by reference, not as primary sources. When this occurs, investigating Special Agents typically add such data to strengthen a suspicion or support collateral intelligence. However, DOJ never intended FBI files to contain criminal record or "rap sheet" information. This myth arose because folks often confuse FBI files with National Crime Information Center (NCIC) sheets. Let's briefly examine the difference. The NCIC, in Washington, D.C., maintains a centralized computer database, established in 1967, that stores criminal records proper. All police agencies nationwide report felony investigations, convictions, and incarcerations to NCIC. However, unless faced with pressing urgency, most small police forces file a monthly NCIC report. NCIC, in turn, uses this data to compile "national rap sheets" on individuals that FBI or any major law enforcement agency labels dangerous (or whom have a felony record). Other persons or data NCIC stores or tracks include: * Canadian police information center * Criminal histories * Deported felons * Foreign fugitives * Gang and terrorist members * Identifying images (scars, tattoos) * Missing persons * Missing persons * Mug shots * Name alias searches * Persons incarcerated in federal prisons * Persons on probation or parole * Persons subject to protective orders * Right index finger print searches * Secret Service Protective Files * Sex offenders * Stolen articles * Wanted persons Law enforcement officials use NCIC reports most often during investigations. Perhaps they're tracking a stolen car, a serial killer, or a fugitive. If so, NCIC data can sometimes reveal the target's identity by offering modus operandi models, identifying marks, fingerprint matches, aliases, prior criminal convictions, and criminal associations while in prison. Prosecution teams also often use NCIC reports to establish a defendant's identity or to show that he has many prior convictions and is therefore a habitual or career offender. So, NCIC sheets - and not FBI files - contain any criminal history you or anyone might have. To obtain that information, you must forward fingerprints (on a standard fingerprint card) to the NCIC, and a fee. FBI files, in contrast, store narrative and investigative reports in which FBI agents (and sometimes other sources) investigate your political activities and associations. Such reports cover black bag operations, telephone wiretap information, informant-supplied facts, and other materials with intelligence relevance. A good example - and one publicly available and declassified - is the historical 1785-page FBI file for Dr. William Pierce's National Alliance, obtainable here: http://foia.fbi.gov/natalli.htm. In this article, I use NA's FBI file as a running example, because it demonstrates concisely what materials you'll find. An excerpt: On November 8, 1986, a search was conducted by representatives of the FBI and XXXXXXXX at the Pocahontas County, WV landfill/dump. This search resulted in the recovery of extensive financial records, personal correspondence, computerized NATIONAL ALLIANCE mailing lists and other significant intelligence information. A review of these materials has determined an established mailing list of NATIONAL ALLIANCE associates, not only throughout each region of the United States, but also in South Africa, West Germany, England, Canada, Mexico, Norway, France, Switzerland, Spain, South America, Sweden, Italy, Austria, Belgium, Portugal and the Middle East. As illustrated above, FBI files reveal what steps FBI or other law enforcement is taking to investigate you from a political perspective. For example, in NA's file, on page 11 of 64 (of section 13[a]), FBI reports informant activity centering on a North Carolina individual, and supplied by a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania mole in 1986: In addition, Charlotte is requested to provide background information concerning XXXXXXX and any established contacts between XXXXXXX and XXXXXXX of the National Alliance. It should be noted that based on Pittsburgh information, XXXXX has indicated that in the near future he, XXXXXXX, will be meeting with XXXXXXX. And finally: ...informants will verify meeting reportedly held during first week of May, 1986, at Compound of XXXXXXXX in the Lansing, MI, area. Detroit will identify individuals known to be in attendance specifically (sic) wives of "order members" (sic) whose husbands are currently incarcerated after conviction on federal charges. These excerpts are excellent examples of what you'll find in your (or any) FBI file. Myth 2: FBI Files Are Secret And Unobtainable The next most common misconception is that FBI files are secret or unobtainable. Not true. You can obtain your FBI file for the price of an envelope, a stamp, and reasonable filing fees. Legislation called the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), enacted in 1967, eventually made this a simple process. (In a moment, I'll outline how to articulate a request). FOIA did not initially include FBI files, however. Not until 1975 did the US government include law and intelligence gathering materials under FOIA's auspices. FOIA - coupled with the then newly enacted Privacy Act of 1974 - made FBI intelligence-gathering materials transparent to the public for the first time. The question is therefore not whether you can obtain the information, but how detailed that information will be. (As discussed below, FBI has the right to withhold certain information). Myth 3: FBI File Data Is Static And Invariably Accurate Finally, many Movement members believe that FBI file information is irrelevant either way. After all, the data is static, accurate, and will exist in any event, right? Because you can't do anything either about or with such information, who cares? This untenable position isn't merely inaccurate and false, it's dangerous - and such a viewpoint could someday cost you life or liberty. First, FBI file data isn't static. Thousands of Americans (and more than a few foreign nationals) have successfully led campaigns to correct, omit, or seal portions of their FBI files. Intelligence operations, moreover, often lead to new information, information that sometimes controverts previous data. Thus, data in your FBI file can and will change over time. More important, FBI file data isn't invariably accurate. FBI relies heavily on informant-supplied data. Informants are notoriously unreliable, they often say things merely to save their own skin, and frequently inflate their level of association with more important targets. Additionally, even informants who aren't actively "making deals" with federal authorities - e.g., informants who inform merely because they have personal vendettas against the target - often lie and fabricate accusations and allegations. Finally, in a minority of cases, these "informants" are not private citizens but instead, undercover law enforcement. Though it's not an extraordinarily common practice, such field agents sometimes lie, too. Structure of FBI Files FBI files typically contain anywhere from five to five thousand pages. Somewhere in that mountain of data, FBI will return FD-467 forms (Memorandums), OPCA A-20 sheets (Deleted Page Information Sheets), and, if applicable, Docket sheets. These are face sheets on pending or past investigations that specify the suspected violation, if they obtained a confession, the person suspected (you), your address, your SSI# (if applicable), your relationship - if any - to your victims, which judicial district accepted the referral, who's authorized to access ongoing investigative information, who prepared the form, and their contact information. Memorandums are the most interesting and detail either personal notes or communications between one or more FBI field offices. These are invariably accompanied by narrative reports. These are reports penned by field investigators about your activities. Each narrative report describes the steps agents undertook to either validate or verify the alleged fact(s). Only in rare instances does DOJ blackout field investigator names (though it's a common practice now to black-out Supervisory Special Agent names). Narrative reports also typically contain statements you, your affiliates, or CIs made in reference to the suspected violation. The most common reasons for blackouts are B7C and B7D, indicating that they either have a confidential informant or the information reveals investigative techniques. However, if you carefully read the data, you can likely identify who the informant is (or was) and what actions FBI undertook (unless, of course, the data is erroneous, you weren't actually affiliated with so-and-so, or you didn't actually commit the acts specified. In such cases, you should file for review). You can determine this in several ways: * Blacked out names, in many cases, are obvious. For example, Pierce's birth name is William Luther Pierce III, 22 characters without spaces, 27 with white space. When FBI blacks out Pierce's name, the ink runs almost 1/3 of a page long. That, coupled with the non-blacked-out data surrounding it, makes it easy to ascertain when FBI is referring to Pierce. * Geographical labels often reveal a CI's identity. For example, if you deal with only one associate in Clearwater, Florida, and several blacked-out pages refer to a source living there, chances are that you made an error in character judgment (or your Clearwater associate did). * Not every blacked-out name identifies an informant. Indeed, in many cases, it merely identifies someone that the FBI interviewed who refused to provide intelligence information. For example, during FBI's investigation of Robert Jay Mathews [page 32 of 59, section 12(c)]. FBI agents reported that "...An attempt was made to interview XXXXXXXXXXX at which time he declined to make any statements". Certainly, for anyone in the Movement in America, obtaining their FBI file is a worthwhile investment. It's a simple and effective device to ascertain with whom you're dealing. For example, if you make such a FOIPA request every time you make a new contact, you can fairly accurately determine if that new contact triggered additional investigation. If, for example, you strike a new friendship with someone who purports to be a bona fide Movement member and, after a query, your report comes back with 20 additional blacked-out pages that didn't previously exist, reconsider your association with that individual. FBI is barred by the totality of statutes related to such files to inject into them data expressly for the purpose of blacking it out. In other words, FBI cannot seed the file with disinformation designed to wrongfully color FOIPA request results (although, not surprisingly, agents sometimes purposefully add erroneous data to your file that makes your affiliations look more dramatic than they really are). At any rate, by this mechanism, you can directly benefit from FBI's intelligence apparatus. When you make a "good" new contact, the return ought to be either nothing (FBI doesn't have knowledge of this party's activities) or a narrative indicating that FBI verified that you two are now in contact. Anything other than this is ground for suspicion. Incredibly, the majority of movement members and supporters here never exploit this information source - often to their peril. A few dollars, an envelope, a stamp, and two weeks, in many cases, could have saved this or that pro-White activist a lot of heartache and money. Do note, however, that a total absence of information in your FBI file about this or that person is not bona fide evidence of their reliability or trustworthiness. Agents may have delayed inserting the data, your associate could be working with another law enforcement agency, or worse, your associate may not yet have contacted FBI (or related agencies) and won't until he or she gets cited for spitting on the sidewalk. Many folks, sadly, are terrified at the site of a badge and rat on their friends in a heartbeat. As a convicted felon who spent considerable time in prison, a badge to me represents not much. But even felons - and sometimes, especially felons - rat, simply because they're afraid to return to prison. So, while reviewing your FBI file is enlightening, it's not the end-all regarding informants. It's merely one more tool you should exploit whenever the need arises. How to Obtain Your FBI File A direct request to Washington alone is insufficient. To obtain all records the FBI currently holds, you must query not merely DOJ but all FBI offices and federal judicial districts in which you suspect investigations. Otherwise, you'll receive only a summary of findings - FBI is still not organized well enough to share that data nationwide. Individual field or special agents maintain files that Washington either isn't aware of or has only a summary of; to obtain the documents in those files (say, letters from an institution to the FBI about you) you must make parallel requests within those jurisdictions. First, draft a letter in the following form for each FBI office you suspect has information on you: From: You To: Federal Bureau of Investigation CC: All FBI offices you suspect hold files This letter constitutes my formal request for information pursuant to the provisions of the Freedom of Information and Privacy Acts, 5 USC 552. I request copies of all data maintained by your agency that pertain to me as described below: Full Name: Jane Doe Current Address: 1234 Curious Lane, Wondering, USA 000000 Social Security No: 999-999-9999 Date and Place of Birth: 11/24/64 New York, NY Former Addresses: [list of addresses} Date:________ Signature:____________ I, __________________________ a Notary Public in and for the county (city) and state of __________________________ hereby certify that on the ____ day of _______, 20__, before me personally appeared __________________________, who is known by me to be the identical person whose name is subscribed to, and who signed and executed the foregoing instrument. In witness thereof, I have hereunto set my hand and official seal this day and year above. My commission expires:__________ Signature of Notary:___________ Next, have a notary notarize and sign the document. Then, mail this letter to all FBI offices you suspect harbor information on you. Also, on the outside of your envelope, below the addressee's line, indicate that this is a Freedom of Information Act request. FBI should respond within two weeks - and you may be surprised at the file's contents. Summary In sum, FBI files are excellent resources for gauging what FBI is up to, and its interest in your activities.
