Wikileaks on New Stratfor Email: OWS Protests Impact US Financial Services
A new chain of leaks was promised by the Wikileaks, and this time it spots the light on the US "Stratfor" Agency, which is described as the "shadow CIA".
Wikileaks published on Wednesday a report entitled "Special Coverage: Occupy Wall Street", organized by the US Foreign Ministry's Department of Homeland Security on October 2011. The said evaluation report was sent along with one of Stratfor's emails which were leaked by Wikileaks.
In details, the report indicated that the peaceful Occupy Wall Street (OWS) protests or "mass gatherings associated with public protest movements can have disruptive effects on transportation, commercial, and government services, especially when staged in major metropolitan areas."
Moreover, the Homeland Security report indicated that "large scale demonstrations also carry the potential for violence, presenting a significant challenge for law enforcement".
"The growing support for the OWS movement has expanded the protests' impact and increased the potential for violence. While the peaceful nature of the protests has served so far to mitigate their impact, larger numbers and support from groups such as Anonymous substantially increase the risk for potential incidents and enhance the potential security risk to critical infrastructure (CI)", the report added.
Moreover, the October 2011 report also claimed, "The continued expansion of these protests also places an increasingly heavy burden on law enforcement and movement organizers to control protesters. As the primary target of the demonstrations, financial services stands the sector most impacted by the OWS protests".
On another hand, the US Department of Homeland Security justified in its report the arbitrary arrests of hundreds of protesters in the different peaceful protests including Oakland, Portland, New York, Los Angeles, Seattle, Boston, and other US areas in which the people where demanding the end of the unjust corporate rule of the rich.
