Senate Fusion Center Report Reveals Darker Nature of Counter Terrorism Industry in America

by Scott Creighton

“The number of things that scare me about this report are almost too many to write into this (form),”… “(they) raised concerns the documents potentially endangered the civil liberties or legal privacy protections of the U.S. persons they mentioned.”… “these reports should not have been drafted at all.”  NBC News

A new report out by the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations casts serious doubt as to whether there are any “terrorist” inclined groups or individuals operating within the United States and furthermore puts forward the very serious question “why are we wasting billions of dollars every year in the homeland surveillance industry”?

With all the manpower, money and resources at their disposal, the Department of Homeland Security still has to team up with the FBI and the corrupt NYPD “intelligence” office to CREATE terror plots for them to foil as justification for next year’s paychecks.

Fact is, they can’t find organic terrorist plots to foil in this country because there are none and there is a very good reason for that: because the ONLY people in this country inclined to attack and kill innocent civilians to see their political agenda achieved aren’t TARGETING the government… they’re WORKING for the government or Wall Street or both since they’re now pretty much the same thing.

Trouble is, the “anti-terrorism” industry in this country was never really designed to combat the non-existent threat of terrorism in America and thus they actually are doing exactly what they were designed to do. They just can’t tell you what that is. But I can…

At the heart of the report are the 70″fusion centers” created in 2003 to collect intel from various law enforcement sources. George Bush started the draconian program only to have it expanded under the “CHANGE” regime of Barack Obama.

The bipartisan report concludes pretty much what us “conspiracy theorists” said when they were first created, that they are serious violations of civil rights and potentially dangerous to the freedoms and liberties of all Americans.

But the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, in a 146-page report released Tuesday that reviewed intelligence reports from fusion centers between April 1, 2009, and April 30, 2010, “could identify nothing that uncovered a terrorist threat, nor could it identify a contribution any fusion center made to disrupt an active terrorist plot.” LA Times

While dismissing the value of much of the fusion centers’ work, the Senate panel  found  evidence of what  it called  “troubling” reports by some  centers that may have violated the civil liberties and privacy of U.S. citizens.  The evidence cited in the report could fuel a continuing controversy over claims that the FBI and some local police departments, notably New York City’s, have spied on American Muslims without a justifiable law enforcement reason for doing so.

When you go through and look at some of the examples of the stupid reports filed by the fusion center personnel, a cold chill runs down your spine when you come to understand that these are predominately stupid individuals who are desperate to find something, anything to justify their next month’s salary. That’s a bad combination in a country desperate to find a terrorist plot somewhere.

Remember when Judge Napolitano took conspiracy theory mainstream and exposed what we have been saying for years that the FBI was simply “creating” terrorist plots to foil? If you don’t remember it, here’s the clip. No wonder he got fired from Fox.

Or, if you don’t like the particular “right” flavor of that report, here’s Keith  O saying basically the same thing a few years earlier.

What the Senate intelligence committee report on the fusion centers doesn’t tell you is the fact that the fusion centers aren’t really a waste of money and they aren’t a failure. They put together stupid little “terrorist action item reports” which are, as the report shows, completely useless and pointless and a waste of money.

But unfortunately for us, that isn’t what they were really designed to do.

In other countries we have USAID and other various State Department and National Endowment for Democracy funded NGOs which don’t really serve to “help” the people of other countries as much as they serve to spy on the people of other countries, determining who is “with us and who is against us” and by “us” I mean our corrupt corptocracy , the “free market” neoliberal system that we install where ever we can.

Our system needs eyes and ears to root out the “trouble makers”, the “extremists” who hold a slightly different view of what we call democracy. These agencies, recently tossed out of several countries including Russia, serve that purpose, fingering dissidents to be picked up by the various death squads run by the dictators we install. A great example of that would be Indonesia under the brutal dictator Suharto. Suharto probably killed more innocent people during his reign of terror than anyone since Hitler, at least that is what Noam Chomsky says and he’s kind of like an expert on the subject. USAID rushed into Indonesia the moment he took over in a coup and remained, directly aided by the CIA the entire time.

Barack Obama’s mother made a career out of working for USAID during Suharto’s dictatorship. Just thought you should know.

Well, we can’t use USAID in the States to flush out the evil leftists and the radical constitutionalists so… fusion centers. That’s why they collect seemingly innocuous data on Muslims and Peace Fresno and other “trouble makers” in the country. They are busy putting together a list, a 3 am black bag extraction list… a “do not hire” list… a FEMA camp list… for when the shit really does hit the fan.

In these other countries, when you install a brutal feudal system, you have to keep track of the growing groundswell of organic opposition that you know will develop and grow and the best way to stop it is not to wait until it reaches a critical mass and they start marching down the street in massive numbers. The best way to curb it is to catch it in it’s infancy. And the ONLY way to do that is have an intel system in place on the grass roots level with eyes and ears in the localized communities and regions.

Remember the infiltration of Peace Fresno? Terrorist organization? No. Potential dissidents and organizers of a growing opposition in the future? Yes.

Hence, though it didn’t meet the stated goals of the fusion centers and seemed silly on it’s surface, the infiltration and observation of the group did in fact serve a higher purpose, the real purpose of the fusion centers.
