The FBI and Occupy Wall St. We’ll speak with investigative journalist Jason Leopold of Truthout regarding his FOIA requests and recent revelations that the FBI was not only monitoring the Occupy Wall St. movement over the past year, but was infiltrating with informants and possibly planning acts of violence against key OWS members. Also, Seth Rosenfeld, author of Subversives: The FBI’s War on Student Radicals and Reagan’s Rise to Power, joins the discussion to offer historical perspective and expand upon these most recent COINTELPRO-style developments.
A terrifying moment. We appeal for your support.
In the last weeks, we have witnessed an authoritarian assault on communities in Minnesota and across the nation.
The need for truthful, grassroots reporting is urgent at this cataclysmic historical moment. Yet, Trump-aligned billionaires and other allies have taken over many legacy media outlets — the culmination of a decades-long campaign to place control of the narrative into the hands of the political right.
We refuse to let Trump’s blatant propaganda machine go unchecked. Untethered to corporate ownership or advertisers, Truthout remains fearless in our reporting and our determination to use journalism as a tool for justice.
But we need your help just to fund our basic expenses. Over 80 percent of Truthout’s funding comes from small individual donations from our community of readers, and over a third of our total budget is supported by recurring monthly donors.
Truthout’s fundraiser ends tonight! We have a goal to add 122 new monthly donors before midnight. Whether you can make a small monthly donation or a larger one-time gift, Truthout only works with your support.
