FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION SITUATIONAL INFORMATION REPORT Potential Criminal Activity' Alert
Indianapolis Division 15 September 2011 "Day of Rage" Activities Planned Nationwide on 17 September 2011
Various online communities and groups have dubbed 17 September 2011 as the Day of Rage' and are planning organized protests and assemblies throughout the United States.
Referencing the demonstrations of the 2011 Arab Spring events, the Day of Rage' desires to mimic the revolutionary wave of demonstrations and protests which have occurred in
the Arab world. The overall goal of the Day of Rage' protests is to conduct unorganized protests in major metropolitan areas with special attention on banking and financial institutions.
Two prominent communities, Day of Rage' and 'Occupy Wall Street', are at the forefront of organizing the events.
0 The group Day of Rage' is calling for "state and national non-violent protests and assemblies of people to demand that integrity be brought back to our [American] elections". While Day of Rage' does not condone the use of violence during the events, their website provides activists with information and training on "direct action, civil disobedience, how to deal with violence, and jailhouse solidarity", suggesting that violence and/or illegal activity is expected by event organizers.'

0 In July 2011, Adbusters, a self-identified American revolutionary anarchist group, advocated a "take over" of Wall Street in New York City on 17 September 2011. The group 'Occupy Wall Street' is an online social networking offshoot of the declaration by Adbusters. 'Occupy Wall Street' is calling for "20,000 people to flood into_Manhattan, set up tents, kitchens, and barricades to occupy Wall Street for a few months."2 Their primary motivation is to demonstrate against the perceived "greed and corruption" of the US banking and financial sector.3 In their July 2011 declaration, Adbusters initially intended for the event to occur in New York City only; however, as the movement escalated in popularity over the summer months, unorganized direct action demonstrations are being planned for locations throughout the United States on 17 September 2011. Like Day of Rage,' the group 'Occupy Wall Street' does not openly condone violence or illegal activities; however, their website offers information on "dealing with first responders, chaotic protesting" and suggested that protesters bring "billy clubs and taser guns."4
September 2011 in multiple US cities, including protests in New York City; Austin, and Charlotte, however, sspecific details of these protests are currently unknown. While Day of Rage' does not condone the use of violence during the events, their website provides activists with information andtraining on "direct action, civil disobedience, how to deal with violence, and jailhouse solidarity," suggesting that violence and/or illegal activity is expected by event organizers.6
It should be noted that the Day of Rage' website indicates a protest may occur at the Indiana State Capital building; however, no date is associated with the protest. Furthermore, according to their website, Day of Rage' has planned additional protests for 1 October 2011, 6 October 2011, and 15 October 2011 in cities throughout the United States. Again, no date is associated with the Indiana protest.

DSAC LIRs are issued to convey timely, actionable information that has undergone some vetting, but is not a completely refined product. DSAC LIRs are prepared by FBI and DHS and are intended for corporate security officers.
(U) The purpose of this DSAC LIR is to raise awareness concerning this type of criminal activity. Recipients should immediately report any suspicious or criminal activities potentially related to these events to their local FBI field or law enforcement office.
9 December 2011 (U) Protesters Plan to Shut Down Ports on West Coast
(U) Occupy Wall Street (OWS) groups are advocating a collaborative effort to shutdown major ports on the west coast on 12 December 201 1. Occupy groups that plan to participate in the coordinated shutdown include OWS groups located in Los Angeles, San Diego, Houston, Portland, Tacoma, Seattle, Oakland, and Vancouver. According to an OWS spokesperson, smaller cities plan to direct their supporters to these ports. The
potential impacts of the port shutdowns include transit delays, blocked roads, commercial disruptions, and possible violence.
(U) In November 2011, the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) Movement targeted the ports in Oakland. During this protest, it was reported that thousands of Occupy supporters gathered at the Port of Oakland disrupting evening operations at the port. Protesters used metal chains and human body chains in an attempt to prevent longshoremen and truckers from entering and exiting the port. A few incidents of violence were reported by the Oakland Police Department; however, reported violence was not between the protesters and the drivers or longshoremen. Despite their large numbers, protestors were only able to partially shut down the port by delaying the arrival and/or departure of a handful of ships.
The Port of Anchorage has determined the following: The International Longshore Workers Union and the Anchorage Independent Longshore Union have advised the OWS Movement that they will not support any disruption to the Port. According to information on the OWS Movement website, the plan is to meet for a lunch time BBQ on 12 December 2011 and then march at 1300 from around 6th and heading to the Port. Representatives of the OWS Movement have stated that they want a peaceful protest of the Port. Additionally, representatives of the Port of Anchorage stated there is
no pedestrian access to the Port and sidewalk access ends just after the A Street Bridge.
(U) Handling Nofice: Recipients are reminded that DSAC LIRs contain sensitive information meant for use primarily within the corporate security community. Such messages shall not be released in either written or oral form to the media, the general public, or other personnel who do not have a valid need-to-know without prior approval from an authorized FBI official.
The Anchorage Police Department (APD) added that there will be no uniformed APD presence unless the situation escalates.
In regards to the 12' December 2011 planned protest, the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (N CIS) has stated that the actions of the OWS Movement may or may not be coordinated with organized labor actions at the affected ports and presently, there are no indications that protesters plan to use violence against people entering or leaving ports, but advise personnel reporting for duty there to remain alert to the
possibility of civil disturbances that might lead to conflict between protesters and law enforcement, and to avoid becoming involved in such conflicts.
U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has responded to the pending port shutdowns in their areas of responsibilities as follows: ICE San Diego is coordinating with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). They do not plan to assist with any law enforcement operations unless requested. ICE Seattle is in contact with the U.S. Coast Guard and has a Port of Seattle police officer assigned to the Border Enforcement Security Task Force (BEST) in Seattle. They will continue to monitor the situation but do not have an active role at this time.
They are coordinating with CBP and the U.S. Coast Guard to ensure security, safety and the continuity of operations. They are also partnering with local law enforcement agencies. It is important to note that local law enforcement agencies have limited cooperation with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) due to sanctuary policies enacted by local governments. Finally, ICE San Francisco will ensure that the San Francisco (BEST) and all local agents are alerted to the possibility of a shutdown. Assistance from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is available if requested.
Basic security for the Port of Oakland remains the responsibility of local law enforcement agencies and not however, is prepared to respond and
offer assistance to local law enforcement, consistent with their training and authorities.
(U) Civil unrest can range in form from small, organized rallies to large--scale demonstrations and rioting. People may be harmed by being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Following are suggested safety tips.
0 Avoid all large gatherings related to civil issues. Even seemingly peacefill rallies can spur violent activity or be met with resistance by security forces. Bystanders may be arrested or harmed by security forces using water cannons, tear gas or other measures to control crowds.
Maintain a low profile by avoiding demonstration areas and discussions of the issues at hand, and by dressing conservatively.
If violence erupts or is imminent, leave the area as quickly as possible. If you cannot leave the area, seek shelter in large, public buildings such as hotels,

churches, hospitals and museums. Wait until the crowds have dissipated before going back outside.
a If you know of an event ahead of time, plan pedestrian and vehicular routes that avoid the affected areas. Road closures and traffic delays are possible. Give yourself extra time to travel.
- If curfews are imposed, strictly observe regulations and monitor the media for immediate updates to the situation.
Severe civil unrest can significantly disrupt businesses, industries and services. If you must travel during unrest ensure that hotels and businesses will be open, services will be available and transportation will be running. Confirm all meetings and reservations.

They had an anti--abortion campaign entitled "180" and demonstrated on campus. Members of the LIVING WATERS protest group were not cooperative with campus public safety officials and repeatedly disregarded the stated rules for protesting. Accordingly,
because they were unruly and causing problems with the operation of the school, members of the LIVING WATERS protest were escorted off of the SUNY--Oswego property by public safety officers.
On 10/26/2011 writer disseminated the intelligence products to six (6) additional campus police officials.

Details: During the early morning hours of October 23, 2011 officers from the Portland Police Department responded to a "chemical bomb" call at Lincoln Park, 79 Pearl Street, Portland, ME which is home to the Occupy Maine movement. (Note: occupy Maine is an off-shoot of the Occupy Wall Street movement started in September 2011). Several witnesses at the scene described this incident as leading up to the event; on 10/23/2011, approximately 2am a four door sedan was observed driving northbound on Pearl Street and sounded its horn excessively. A few minutes later the same vehicle was observed driving past the encampment with its passenger yelling "Get a job". A few individuals observed the
vehicle drive by the encampment several more times. No one was able to observe the license plate.
At approximately 4am, possibly the same vehicle was observed driving by the encampment, however, this time several individuals heard a can or bottle hit the ground in close proximity to where they were seated. It sounded like a shot gun going off. After the explosion a large amount of smoke was observed coming from the area. No individuals were harmed.

The October2011 Movement protests corporatism and militarism because they prevent solutions to our current crises which would create a more peaceful, just, and sustainable world from being implemented. Instead concentrated corporate interests rule our elections and political process so that wealth continues to be funneled to the top
US Day of Rage is calling for free and fair elections, not elections manipulated by the economic elite, special interests, or corporate media, where choices are limited to bought candidates and two corrupt parties. US Day of Rage is organizing with to create a tent city in the financial district of New York beginning on September 17. October2011 and have endorsed each others' actions.
Legitimate government is born of the people expressed by its citizens in free and fair elections. It does not spring from a tyranny of special interests, crony capitalism, or a system or ideology that runs counter to the aims of life.
Free and fair elections inspire good citizenship and public service, because they engage the intelligence and genuine good will of the American people. They produce the kind of stewardship our nation desperately needs, because they ensure that citizens can influence their destiny, and make genuine contributions to society unlike our present system where the government moves in directions the majority of Americans oppose putting the profits of campaign donors ahead of the wishes of the American people.
Free and fair elections are steps towards re--mediating the myriad ills and abuses of a corrupt and illegitimate government, which preys on the resources and spirits of citizens, and violates rights of the other peoples and nations.
The October2011 Movement and US Day of Rage know that abuses of the people and planet will end when we take unified and persistent action. We stand in solidarity with each other and with the growing nonviolent movements around the nation and world to call for democratization of our society.
They are also trying to mobilize at every Federal institution in each State. At this moment the group seems very minimal for Virginia, and my friends in Florida.

Occupy Richmond: Potential for Cyber Criminal Activity Surrounding 15 October 2011 Rally
(U) FBI Richmond is releasing this Situational Infonnation Report to raise law enforcement and public safety officials' awareness of possible cyber criminal activity surrounding the 'Occupy
. Richmond' demonstration to be held on 15 October 2011 in and around Kanawha Plaza (located
(U) Open sources report that Occupy Richmond is a grass-roots movement that is a spin-off from the 'Occupy Wall Street' protests that began in New York City last month. As of 12 October 2011, the Occupy Richmond acebook group had over 4,500 'likes'; and the Occupy Richmond Twitter feed had over 1,500 fo1lowers.2 The wider Occupy Wall Street or 'Occupy Together' protests are somewhat disorganized and primarily composed of college students. Rallies and protests have been held across the nation. Within Virginia, open sources indicate associated
groups of varying levels of organization exist in Charlottesville, Staunton, Fredericksburg, Roanoke, Norfolk, and the northem Virginia area.
On 23 August 2011, the hacktivist collective group 'Anonymous' released a video pledging support for the Occupy Wall Street protests and encouraged members to participate. In the past, Anonymous has planned cyber intrusion activities or distributed denial of service attacks to coincide with other physical protests. This could indicate an intention to

conduct cyber attacks in conjunction with the various Occupy Wall Street protests, to include the
Occupy Richmond protest. According to open source reporting, Anonymous planned to release a new tool to the public called RefRef in September 2011. Anonymous successfully tested this tool by performing attacks on WikiLeaks, Pastebin, and 4chan.org. Since the current protests are focus3ed on the financial sector, if a cyber attack were to occur, financial institutions could be targeted.
(U) The city of Richmond has a historically strong finance and insurance sector with a multitude of brokerage firms, investment banking firms, and venture and equity firms located in the area. The city of Richmond is home to the main corporate offices of six Fortune 500 companies and 14 Fortune 1000 companies. Additionally, many banks and Fortune 500 companies have a large presence in the wider Richmond area. These entities could be considered high value targets for financial, cyber related attacks.
(U) According to reporting, there are no known planned acts of violence for the 15 October 2011 rally in Richmond, Virginia. Although the Occupy Wall Street protests are largely peaceful, there have been reports of Violence and arrests in various rallies across the nation. On 2 October 2011, more than 700 Occupy Wall Street protestors were arrested during a march on the Brooklyn Bridge.4 On 11 October 2011, approximately 100 Occupy Boston protestors were arrested for moving into an area outside the designated space.5
(U) This information is being provided for situational awareness. It is requested that any positive intelligence related to similar or emerging trends, tactics or schemes occurring in Virginia be forwarded to FBI Richmond and the Virginia Fusion Center (VFC).
