Internal FBI documents being covered widely in the national media this week say agents reported on Occupy Wall Street activities in Anchorage at a Joint Terrorism Task Force meeting in November 2011. The Partnership for Civil Justice Fund, which obtained the documents under the Freedom of Information Act, reports that the FBI was focused on local Occupy organizers' plans to protest the troubled Port of Anchorage expansion.
A port Facility Security Officer in Anchorage coordinated with the FBI to attend the meeting of protestors and gain intelligence on the planning of the port actions. He was advised to request the presence of an Anchorage Police Department official to also attend the event. The FBI Special Agent told the undercover private operative that he would notify the Joint Terrorism Task Force and that he would provide a point of contact at the Anchorage Police Department.
