Zombie Terrorism Lies, War Lies and Afghanistan Lies Never Die!

So, was in my car, listening to NPR's International News Roundup-- a mistake, but was curious what they'd say, the panel sounded reasonable enough-- then Obama's "withdrawal plan" came up, and every fucking propaganda line about Afghanistan and Al-CIA-duh was pulled out. They even put out the old crap of being so worried about Afghanistan women's rights. Unreal. Not one dissenting voice in the least about the war. I finally turned it off screaming when they started saying how bad Syria's Assad and how he was abusing his people because he knew the US/NATO wouldn't bomb him because of the political pressure on Obama about Libya. Jesus, they were almost fucking advocating that we should start bombing Syria. Fucking pieces of shit "journalists".

Monju Nuclear Plant-- A Bad 33

This is extremely worrisome:

TSURUGA, Japan — Three hundred miles southwest of Fukushima, at a nuclear reactor perched on the slopes of this rustic peninsula, engineers are engaged in another precarious struggle.

The Monju prototype fast-breeder reactor — a long-troubled national project — has been in a precarious state of shutdown since a 3.3-ton device crashed into the reactor’s inner vessel, cutting off access to the plutonium and uranium fuel rods at its core.

Engineers have tried repeatedly since the accident last August to recover the device, which appears to have gotten stuck. They will make another attempt as early as next week.

But critics warn that the recovery process is fraught with dangers because the plant uses large quantities of liquid sodium, a highly flammable substance, to cool the nuclear fuel.

The Monju reactor, which forms the cornerstone of a national project by resource-poor Japan to reuse and eventually produce nuclear fuel, shows the tensions between the scale of Japan’s nuclear ambitions and the risks.

The plant, a $12 billion project, has a history of safety lapses. It was shuttered for 14 years after a devastating fire in 1995, one of Japan’s most serious nuclear accidents before this year’s crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. Prefecture and city officials found that the operator had tampered with video images of the fire to hide the scale of the disaster. A top manager at the plant recently committed suicide, on the day that Japan’s atomic energy agency announced that efforts to recover the device would cost almost $21.9 million. And, like several other reactors, Monju lies on an active fault.

Even if the device can be removed, restarting the reactor will be risky, given its safety record and its use of highly toxic plutonium as fuel, said Hideyuki Ban, co-director of the Citizens’ Nuclear Information Center, a watchdog group, and a member of an advisory government committee on Japan’s long-term nuclear energy policy. The plant is 60 miles from Kyoto, a city of 1.5 million people, and the fast-breeder design of the reactor makes it more prone to Chernobyl-type runaway reactions in the case of a severe accident, critics say.

“Let’s say they make this fix, which is very complicated,” Mr. Ban said. “The rest of the reactor remains highly dangerous. And an accident at Monju would have catastrophic consequences beyond what we are seeing at Fukushima.”

Japan badly needs sources of energy. By closing the loop on its nuclear fuel cycle, Japan aims to reuse, recycle and produce fresh fuel for its 54 reactors.

“Monju is a vital national asset,” said Noritomo Narita, a spokesman here in Tsuruga for the reactor’s operator, the government-backed Japan Atomic Energy Agency. “In a country so poor in resources, such as Japan, the efficient use of nuclear fuel is our national policy, and our mission.”

Critics have been fighting the project since its inception in the 1970s. “It’s Japan’s most dangerous reactor,” said Miwako Ogiso, secretary general of the Council of the People of Fukui Prefecture Against Nuclear Power. “It’s Japan’s most nonsensical reactor.”

After promises of safety upgrades, as well as lavish subsidies and public works, the government has wooed local officials into allowing a restart of the reactor. In Fukui, the government had ready allies: with 14 nuclear reactors, it is Japan’s most nuclear-friendly prefecture. (Fukushima, in second place, has 10 reactors.)

Monju was reopened in May 2010, and just three months later, the 3.3-ton fuel relay device fell into the pressure vessel when a loose clutch gave way. In the two decades since the reactor started tests in 1991, the atomic energy agency has managed to generate electricity at the reactor only for one full hour.

Bush Legal Abuses Versus Obama Legal Abuses

Good discussion:

About the best you can say for Obama is that he didn't invade a country based on completely bogus premises (Iraq), and he didn't start a torture regime. And of course, Bush was involved in the 9/11 cover up and god knows how much he really knew what happened. But, frankly, if Obama had been in office when Bush was, he probably would have been pressured to do what Bush did, and then gone ahead and done that.

I Should Have Known Better, But I Never Dreamed How Bad Obama Would Be

It is really sickening to see what modern presidents think they can get away with in terms of fighting wars and civil liberties. Excellent piece here on the anti-war movement.

The Libyan bombing campaign is even more mind-numbingly dumb and pointless than the Afghanistan war, and I never thought I'd be saying that either.

Merkel Escapes Death with a Double 33

This is pretty blatant:

"German leader's narrow escape after her helicopter falls 3300ft following an engine failure"

The German Chancellor had a narrow escape when her police chopper fell like a stone from the sky just hours after dropping her off.

The pilots managed to restart the engines just moments before it hit the ground.

The Super Puma 332 had left Mrs Merkel at an election campaign event in Waldshut-Tiengen on the Swiss border when disaster struck.

Two-hundred miles into its journey and travelling at an altitude of 5250ft, the helicopter fell for almost two minutes to a height of 1950ft before the police crew regained control.

The 21-seat aircraft had only just entered service, in December 2010, and officials have launched an urgent investigation into the cause of last Wednesday's incident.

Experts told Germany’s Bild am Sonntag that sabotage has been ruled out.

Was it an assassination attempt? Or just something to put the scare into her?

Coming Soon to Your Town-- Mini-Nuclear Plants?

This needs to be stopped:

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. -- Pushing ahead with ambitious nuclear plans, the Tennessee Valley Authority signed a letter of intent to become the nation's first electricity provider to build small modular reactors.

Spokesmen for the nation's largest public utility and Babcock & Wilcox Nuclear Energy subsidiary Generation mPower in Charlotte, N.C., said Friday that the letter signed in late May outlines plans for building up to six of the mini reactors at TVA's vacant Clinch River site west of Knoxville in East Tennessee.

TVA spokesman Terry Johnson said the utility is pursuing possible development of a single small reactor to start operating by 2020. He said they would be built in pairs. Johnson said the small reactors each could supply enough power to support about 70,000 homes, about one-tenth of a large reactor.

The cost and who will pay it are not known.

Generation mPower President and CEO Ali Azad said in a statement Thursday that TVA plans to apply for a construction permit in 2012, while Generation mPower plans to apply for design certification in 2013. But TVA nuclear spokesman Ray Golden said it is still "not an absolute certainty we are going to do this."

Nuclear Regulatory Commission spokesman Roger Hannah said that those reviews would take several years and that a license application review would follow.

Hannah said the proposed mini reactor is the first for any NRC site.

A Babcock & Wilcox email Friday said that compared to large reactors that vary in size and design, the mPower reactor is about 80 feet tall and 15 feet wide at it largest point and weighs about 500 tons before being loaded with fuel.

UPDATE on the "Mis-aligned CBS Video" of the 2nd Hit

As I posted here some years back, I always thought this video was the best evidence of conflicting plane paths. Then "Achimspok" put together his "tour-de-force reconciliation" of 2nd hit video plane paths (of course the work is suspicious from a technical standpoint), and I thought maybe I was wrong about the perspective.


Then I found this extended version of the "CBS" clip:


What I found is this video was actually taken extremely far from the WTC, as this screenshot shows:

I am sure Achimspok did not take this shot into account for his "analysis". It seems impossible that a last second upwards movement of the plane would be seen from such a distant vantage point (note, if one was very close in front of the tower, due to perspective, the plane would appear to go up as it got closer). Unexpectedly, this extended video really supports my original contention-- that the plane path was mis-aligned. There is audio in this clip, and they refer to the plane. It's hard to know how legit it is-- could very well have been added in after. All I really know is that the plane path is wrong, and likely all Achimspok did was try to fit the plane path to the video, rather than the other way around.

War-crazed Obama rejects his top-lawyers in pursuing illegal Libyan war.

Karzai complains that US is contaminating Afghanistan with depleted Uranium, and that US is pursuing its own interests rather than Afghanistan.

Pakistan arrests CIA operatives in Abbottabad who supposedly helped spy on OBL.

Mildly interesting new twist to the Pentagon attack, involving a Park service helicopter. Mostly of note because early reports said a helicopter crashed at the Pentagon rather than a plane.

$6.6 billion stolen in Iraq may be "the largest theft of funds in national history." No real clues to what happened to it. UPDATE: Or is it $18 billion?

New 9/11 limited hangout: "New Documents Claim Intelligence on Bin Laden, al-Qaeda Targets Withheld From Congress' 9/11 Probe". Some military intel dude calling himself Iron Man says there were extensive warnings of an attack on the WTC and the Pent. He worked at the

"Asymmetric Threats Division, formed in 1999, and "charged with reporting on asymmetric threats, especially terrorism."

The unit worked with Joint Task Force-Civil Support (JTF-CS), also set up in 1999. According to the Defense Department (DoD), JTF-CS was charged with supporting "terrorist response operations in the continental US" and providing "military assistance to civil authorities."

The Asymmetric Threats Division is referred to as DO5, a branch of the Joint Forces Intelligence Command (JFIC), whose responsibilities included, among other things, vetting human intelligence sources on behalf of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). From 1998 to 2001, Iron Man was working as a counterterrorism/counterintelligence analyst for the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS), assigned to JFIC."

As usual, the commentators see the big picture of 9/11 much better than the myopic authors of the piece.

Despite the Dimona Dozen shill nonsense, I still wonder if there is some truth in this piece about the 3/11 quake being less than advertised and nukes being used to destroy the Fukushima nuclear reactors. A related piece without adding in the Israel connection.

Israel and AIPAC-- The Hyper-Reactionary Right-Wing Is the Main Problem

Without stirring up a hornet's nest, here are a couple of interesting examples of how the right-wing has brought out the worst in Jews and In Israel. And to a large degree, liberal Jews (and liberals in general) are much more reasonable about Israel, and understanding of what harm Israel has done. Which is why blanket statements about Jews and Israelis are invariably wrong. Right-wingers have an extremely annoying and frustrating blind spot about Israel. Yes, Democratic politicians suck up to the Israel lobby, but aren't as jingoistic and religious about it. My impression is that mainstream Dems are much more balanced about Israel than conservatives, but that could just be my perspective. Overall, I would bet the support of Israel by US politicians is not representative of the general US public.

Bombing Libya Is Not Hostile

President Barack H. Orwell:

The White House, pushing hard against criticism in Congress over the deepening air war in Libya, asserted Wednesday that President Obama had the authority to continue the military campaign without Congressional approval because American involvement fell short of full-blown hostilities. (snip)

In contending that the limited American role did not oblige the administration to ask for authorization under the War Powers Resolution, the report asserted that “U.S. operations do not involve sustained fighting or active exchanges of fire with hostile forces, nor do they involve U.S. ground troops.” Still, the White House acknowledged, the operation has cost the Pentagon $716 million in its first two months and will have cost $1.1 billion by September at the current scale of operations.

I'm sure the Libyans killed by our bombs are happy that at least we haven't declared full-blown hostilities.

Thanks, President Obama!

Yes, the FBI Is Still Out of Control

The usual outrageous crap of spying on peace activists:

CHICAGO — FBI agents took box after box of address books, family calendars, artwork and personal letters in their 10-hour raid in September of the century-old house shared by Stephanie Weiner and her husband.

The agents seemed keenly interested in Weiner’s home-based business, the Revolutionary Lemonade Stand, which sells silkscreened baby outfits and other clothes with socialist slogans, phrases like “Help Wanted: Revolutionaries.”

The search was part of a mysterious, ongoing nationwide terrorism investigation with an unusual target: prominent peace activists and politically active labor organizers.

The probe — involving subpoenas to 23 people and raids of seven homes last fall — has triggered a high-powered protest against the Department of Justice and, in the process, could create some political discomfort for President Obama with his union supporters as he gears up for his reelection campaign.

More terrible examples in the rest of the piece. Then there is this:

WASHINGTON — The Federal Bureau of Investigation is giving significant new powers to its roughly 14,000 agents, allowing them more leeway to search databases, go through household trash or use surveillance teams to scrutinize the lives of people who have attracted their attention.

As succinctly put by Wonkette-- "anyone who cares about anything at all is now the enemy"

Thanks, President Obama!

Though, to be fair, the Bush administration was just as nasty, for instance going after anti-Iraq war blogger Juan Cole.

Soma

Scientists at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine claim to have determined the proper dose levels needed to create positive changes in attitudes, mood, life satisfaction, and behavior that persist for more than a year with the psychoactive substance in so-called "magic mushrooms."
(snip)

"In our laboratory, weʼre working with the pure chemical psilocybin, which we can measure out precisely," he added. "We wanted to take a methodical look at how its effects change with dosage. We seem to have found levels of the substance and particular conditions for its use that give a high probability of a profound and beneficial experience, a low enough probability of psychological struggle, and very little risk of any actual harm."

In my experience with drugs many many years ago, psilocybin was by far the most pleasant and uplifting drug I ever did. LSD gave a similar high, but tended to make you feel crappy afterward. Psilocybin had a very clean and pleasant come down, and just left you feeling very happy. I never did ecstasy or DMT or speed or peyote/mescaline. I did plenty of cannabis but while it was fun, it was never close to the psychedelic experience of psilocybin or LSD.

Morphing of the "Terror Networks"

This one is quite under the radar but is still creepy and insidious and of course complete bullshit-- from last February:

CIA drone strikes that used to focus almost exclusively on al-Qaeda are increasingly spread across an array of militant groups, including Taliban networks responsible for plots against targets in the United States...

Then more recently:

U.S. intelligence has strong reason to believe that the Pakistani Taliban is actively plotting to hit interests in the U.S. and American targets overseas, a U.S. official told CNN Thursday.

The concerns about the group that authorities say directed the Times Square bombing plot are coming from multiple streams of information, including from Faisal Shahzad, the Times Square bombing suspect, the official said.

Puhlease.... "directed" that idiotic attack? They seriously expect us to believe that?

By the way, from the first piece, drone strikes are a cool $1 million a piece, and there were 118 in 2010. $118 million to kill a handful of "al Qaeda" bad guys, mostly Pakistani rebels or Taliban at best.

"Exterminate All the Brutes"

I recently finished reading this book by Sven Lindquist. It's quite a remarkable book, with the basic theme of tracing the origins of European genocide in the New World, culminating in the Nazis. Germans were actually quite late to the genocidal show. But there is some really amazing but obscure and horrible history that is covered, such as the Voulet–Chanoine Mission. But he also touches quite a bit on the origins of Conrad's "Heart of Darkness". Probably the most impressive part of the book is the overview of the intellectual underpinning of genocide by Europeans.

The reviews at Amazon are fairly accurate, except for the one 3 star review, which is misplaced I think, and I recommend the book if you haven't read it or heard of it.

The Evils of the Middle

Interesting, how on war, the national security state and government over-reach, the far-left and far-right have common cause in stopping the madness.

It's the centrist fucks, that are the main evil in these matters.

While, the far-right is pretty screwed up , in my opinion, at least they have some sense of humanity left.

I guess one way to look at it is that the extremes of the two parties have remained true to their convictions, and not sold out on creating the Americans fascist state. What's interesting is that the common conviction for both the extreme left and right is anti-war, and anti-fascist government. While this makes sense in some ways, it is also a bit counter-intuitive. Not clear, however, as Greenwald points out, is how many of these "principled" conservatives are actually just upset because it's Obama in power. The real test of conviction is someone who goes against their party's president-- thus, in this case, the Dems.

In this regard, it is worth noting that my Rethuglican Representative, who is a standard horrible conservative, at least had the decency to vote against the renewal of the Patriot Act.

Making Fun of Bilderbergers

Amusing article from the Guardian:

Best moment of the day was the arrival of everyone's favourite Bilderberger, Papa Bear himself – the undisputed King of the Club – David Rockefeller.

The big Swiss cheese: David Rockefeller arrives at Bilderberg 2011. Photograph: Freemanfriend

Doesn't he look cute? Although it's a bit naughty of him, going out and about in daylight like that. He knows it's bad for him.

Thank heavens the bomb scare was a false alarm; an explosion would have soured the build up to Rockefeller's birthday celebrations. David turns 96 on Sunday, but honestly, he doesn't look a day over 137.

Spry little David is the last surviving grandson of John D. It was Granddad Rockefeller who famously declared competition a sin, and built one of the world's great fortunes. It was Granddad Rockefeller who warned his Bible class: "Every downfall is traceable directly or indirectly to the victim's good fellowship" – and solemnly advised them: "Don't be a good fellow."

But young David couldn't live like that. His whole life long he's tried to spread his money where it will do most good. Like in 1961, when he approved a $10,000,000 Chase Manhattan loan to prop up the apartheid economy. Even then, that generosity wasn't quite enough, so two years later his bank joined with a number of other financial institutions to extend the South African regime $40,000,000 more in credit.

Of course, as David himself has said: "We cannot be idealistic. Capital must be invested in countries which have the political stability to guarantee a fair deal for the businessman." And with his ping-pong partner, Henry Kissinger, the master of realpolitik (and the topspin backhand) at his side on Bilderberg's top table, it is hard to imagine much 'idealism' pervading the group. Beyond the heartwarming goal of guaranteeing a fair deal for the businessman.

Which would be all be fine and dandy if the Bilderberg attendees didn't include quite so many elected officials. Our own chancellor, George Osborne, was a serial attendee (2006-2009); our own prime minister, David Cameron, sat through the seminars in 2008 before taking office. And don't forget Tony Blair attended. Not that he likes to admit it (he preferred lying to parliament about not going).

Breaking news: George Osborne MP is on this year's attendee list, which has just been published by a Swiss news agency. So too is Peter Mandelson. More on this shortly.

Politicians from the host country are usually pretty thick on the ground, so it was no surprise to see the stately arrival of Barbara Janom Steiner, head of the justice department of the local Swiss canton.

The politicians get to rub shoulders and polish policies with Bilderberg businessmen like W Edmund Clarke, President & CEO of Canada's second largest bank, Toronto-Dominion (total assets in 2010: 619.5 billion Canadian Dollars), and member of the conference Steering Committee. Clark's plane into San Moritz was delayed due to bad weather, we were told. Poor W Edmund Clark. He missed Etienne Davignon's 'golden oldies' movie quiz (3pm in the sun lounge).

Despite the fun, they are no doubt up to no good-- i.e. they are likely pushing more war:

Protest the Wars

http://www.october2011.org/

October 2011 is the 10th anniversary of the invasion of Afghanistan and the beginning of the 2012 federal austerity budget. It is time to light the spark that sets off a true democratic, nonviolent transition to a world in which people are freed to create just and sustainable solutions.

We call on people of conscience and courage—all who seek peace, economic justice, human rights and a healthy environment—to join together in Washington, D.C., beginning on Oct. 6, 2011, in nonviolent resistance similar to the Arab Spring and the Midwest awakening.

A concert, rally and protest will kick off a powerful and sustained nonviolent resistance to the corporate criminals that dominate our government.

Forty-seven years ago, Mario Savio, an activist student at Berkeley, said, "There's a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious— makes you so sick at heart— that you can't take part. You can't even passively take part. And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop. And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all."

Those words have an even greater urgency today. We face ongoing wars and massive socio-economic and environmental destruction perpetrated by a corporate empire which is oppressing, occupying and exploiting the world. We are on a fast track to making the planet unlivable while the middle class and poor people of our country are undergoing the most wrenching and profound economic crisis in 80 years.

JFK and the Alien Cover-Up

Was JFK killed because of his interest in aliens? Secret memo shows president demanded UFO files 10 days before death:

An uncovered letter written by John F Kennedy to the head of the CIA shows that the president demanded to be shown highly confidential documents about UFOs 10 days before his assassination.
The secret memo is one of two letters written by JFK asking for information about the paranormal on November 12 1963, which have been released by the CIA for the first time.
Author William Lester said the CIA released the documents to him under the Freedom of Information Act after he made a request while researching his new book 'A Celebration of Freedom: JFK and the New Frontier.'

As Dr. Michio Kaku, a world renowned CUNY theoretical physicist pointed out on CNN March 18, 2011, Chernobyl involved one reactor and only 57.6 Tons of the reactor core went into the atmosphere. In dramatic contrast, the Fukushima Daiichi disaster immediately involved six reactors and IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency, a UN Agency) documented 2,800 Tons of highly radioactive old reactor cores.

Simple division tells us there are at least 48.6 Chernobyls in the burning old reactor cores pumping fiery isotopes into the Earth’s atmosphere. It is no stretch to say Fukushima Daiichi’s six reactors and the dry holding pools for old reactor cores are equal to more than 50 Chernobyl disasters.

Further clarification is needed, of course, and it is being worked out now by independent physicists. Note that the lethality of radioactive reactor cores goes up the first 250,000 years they are out of the reactor – not down.

Looking at the current Japanese meltdown as more than 50 Chernobyls is just the start. In addition, the fate of the four nearby reactors at Fukushima Daini is as yet unknown by the outside world. Working at the nearby reactors, only 10 km (6 miles away) is a quick, painful death sentence. They are inside the mandatory evacuation zone.

This much is known. All radioactive exposures are cumulative for each human, animal and plant. What’s more, mutated genetic codes are passed on to offspring forever. This means all Japanese and all Northern Hemisphere inhabitants are suffering internal radioactive contamination from Fukushima Daiichi reactors already.

Stay healthy, my friends.

Federal Govt Openly Monitors Political Dissidents

Interesting piece, showing how govt resources are wasted tracking political activists in the fear (hope?) that they might be dangerous:

Mr. Crow, 44, a self-described anarchist and veteran organizer of anticorporate demonstrations, is among dozens of political activists across the country known to have come under scrutiny from the F.B.I.’s increased counterterrorism operations since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

Other targets of bureau surveillance, which has been criticized by civil liberties groups and mildly faulted by the Justice Department’s inspector general, have included antiwar activists in Pittsburgh, animal rights advocates in Virginia and liberal Roman Catholics in Nebraska. When such investigations produce no criminal charges, their methods rarely come to light publicly.

But Mr. Crow, a lanky Texas native who works at a recycling center, is one of several Austin activists who asked the F.B.I. for their files, citing the Freedom of Information Act. The 440 heavily-redacted pages he received, many bearing the rubric “Domestic Terrorism,” provide a revealing window on the efforts of the bureau, backed by other federal, state and local police agencies, to keep an eye on people it deems dangerous.

In the case of Mr. Crow, who has been arrested a dozen times during demonstrations but has never been convicted of anything more serious than trespassing, the bureau wielded an impressive array of tools, the documents show.

The agents watched from their cars for hours at a time — Mr. Crow recalls one regular as “a fat guy in an S.U.V. with the engine running and the air-conditioning on” — and watched gatherings at a bookstore and cafe. For round-the-clock coverage, they attached a video camera to the phone pole across from his house on New York Avenue.

They tracked Mr. Crow’s phone calls and e-mails and combed through his trash, identifying his bank and mortgage companies, which appear to have been served with subpoenas. They visited gun stores where he shopped for a rifle, noting dryly in one document that a vegan animal rights advocate like Mr. Crow made an unlikely hunter. (He says the weapon was for self-defense in a marginal neighborhood.)

They asked the Internal Revenue Service to examine his tax returns, but backed off after an I.R.S. employee suggested that Mr. Crow’s modest earnings would not impress a jury even if his returns were flawed. (He earns $32,000 a year at Ecology Action of Texas, he said.)

They infiltrated political meetings with undercover police officers and informers. Mr. Crow counts five supposed fellow activists who were reporting to the F.B.I.

Mr. Crow seems alternately astonished, angered and flattered by the government’s attention. “I’ve had times of intense paranoia,” he said, especially when he discovered that some trusted allies were actually spies.

“But first, it makes me laugh,” he said. “It’s just a big farce that the government’s created such paper tigers. Al Qaeda and real terrorists are hard to find. We’re easy to find. It’s outrageous that they would spend so much money surveilling civil activists, and anarchists in particular, and equating our actions with Al Qaeda.”

The investigation of political activists is an old story for the F.B.I., most infamously in the Cointel program, which scrutinized and sometimes harassed civil rights and antiwar advocates from the 1950s to the 1970s. Such activities were reined in after they were exposed by the Senate’s Church Committee, and F.B.I. surveillance has been governed by an evolving set of guidelines set by attorneys general since 1976.

But the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 demonstrated the lethal danger of domestic terrorism, and after the Sept. 11 attacks, the F.B.I. vowed never again to overlook terrorists hiding in plain sight. The Qaeda sleeper cells many Americans feared, though, turned out to be rare or nonexistent.

The result, said Michael German, a former F.B.I. agent now at the American Civil Liberties Union, has been a zeal to investigate political activists who pose no realistic threat of terrorism.

“You have a bunch of guys and women all over the country sent out to find terrorism. Fortunately, there isn’t a lot of terrorism in many communities,” Mr. German said. “So they end up pursuing people who are critical of the government.”

Another agent comments, oddly, on Mr. Crow and his wife, Ann Harkness, who have been together for 24 years, writing that “outwardly they did not appear to look right for each other.” At a training session, “most attendees dressed like hippies.”

Such comments stand out amid detailed accounts of the banal: mail in the recycling bin included “a number of catalogs from retail outlets such as Neiman Marcus, Ann Taylor and Pottery Barn.”

Mr. Crow said he hoped the airing of such F.B.I. busywork might deter further efforts to keep watch over him. The last documents he has seen mentioning him date from 2008. But the Freedom of Information Act exempts from disclosure any investigations that are still open.

“I still occasionally see people sitting in cars across the street,” he said. “I don’t think they’ve given up.”
