Did Feds Use Military Intelligence to Spy On RNC Protesters?
- Text size
ACLU
November 27, 2008
The American Civil Liberties Union recently came across a revealing RNC Homeland Security Document. This official document was uncovered by the website Wikileaks, which according to its website “We help you safely get the truth out”. This document outlines the planning leading up to the Republican National Convention and how security forces would be working together during the RNC. Many federal, state and local organizations were mentioned in this document, a number of which the ACLU did not know were involved. A number of these agencies are military based, which may directly conflict with Federal law that prohibits the military from engaging in domestic intelligence gathering.
The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), is one of the organizations that is mentioned in the report that is particular cause for concern. NGA provides mapping tools and imagery intelligence that are obtained from the United State’s military spy satellites which are controlled by the National Reconnaissance Office. In other words during the RNC, these top spying tools could have been utilized to gather intelligence on the homes of activists and media workers who were a part of the demonstrations. That information could have then been relayed to local officials.

A second agency that was involved in the planning is the Pentagon’s Northern Command, NORTHCOM. Having NORTHCOMM at the table, assisting in the planning is troubling because it could mean that the military was involved in the crowd control strategies and dealing with potential civil unrest. According to a report in Army Times, it said that an active military unit has been deployed by NORTHCOM in the United States. This deployment marks the first time an active unit has been given a dedicated assignment within U.S. Borders.
Furthermore it appears that the FBI may have been using a station faking technology that would allow them to locate an individual through their cell phone. The ACLU is concerned with how this technology is used and if there was proper judicial oversight. In the USA Patriot ACT, this process for obtaining a track was made easier, and could allow for little to no judicial oversight. This tracking via cell phones could have been used during the RNC without the knowledge of even the phone companies.
“These behaviors are a radical departure from separation of civilian law enforcement and military authority, and could, quite possibly, represent a violation of law,” said Teresa Nelson, ACLU of Minnesota. The ACLU-MN will continue to investigate and will use their findings in future lawsuits against law enforcement officials.

No politico….I wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!!! “All ‘HAIL’ Thermal Expansion!!!”

My only issue with this is certainly not how much money I am paying taxes to waste on this crape (wow that does bother me,) but the fact that there is almost no WAY that they can prosecute the correct people if they find them, or EVER be able to process the VOLUME of information that must come from that kind of political assembly.
Look how long it take the police to catch DEDICATED killers. The idea of the incompetent military catching a cold is less than zero. They can’t even get an ROTC program onto a college campus: http://mediacondom.com/?p=396

Let’s create a monetary system that funds government in a way that ENDS ALL TAXATION!
Read the proposed 28th Amendment……..see the Solution video, end the private ownership of the Fed….

of course they are spying on us. the best way for me to describe our current political situation in the usa is like this:
the Democrats and the Republicans are like two dominant football teams in the NFL. they both win all their games and meet in the Super Bowl every year. how do they do this? they win all their games by cheating. what kind of cheating you say? they use cameras with audio and zoom in on their opponents huddle to steal the play. teams like the Independents and the Libertarians lose most of their games and have no chance at winning the superbowl because the cheating teams win every year.
here is what the standings would look like in the game of american politics:
Democrats 16-0
Republicans 16-0
Independent 3-13
Libertarians 2-12
Greens 1-15
this is why the government can not have the power to spy on it’s people/opponents

AIG insured police against brutality lawsuits for the conventions, free lcense to bust some American heads, is unAmerican activity. AIG was bailed out by the government, so the government literally funded unAmerican activities during the election conventions.
seperate case but its against the same offending entity at the same time.
-and they even admit the insurance!

Wow–no shocker there….slow integration of NORTHCOM will be the norm now….

We’ll see how the ACLU acts during the Obama administration. I have a sneaking suspicion the ACLU will be all fine and dandy with Obama trampling on the Constitution and expose themselves as left gatekeepers.

~God you paranoid freaks, what is it with you and censorship talk on this web site…iv wrote dozens and dozens messages….every once in a while it just dosent work due to overload (certain times a day) IF YOU DONT SEE YOUR MESSAGE AFTER 5 MIN…REPASTE THE DAMN THING…EASY AS THAT!

Many of the protestors in St. Paul during the RNC were there to do far more then protest. They were there to cause riots, destroy property etc, many go from event to event across the country just to cause havoc not to protest. These idiots even soak their clothes in urine believing it will counter pepper spray and to make the police suffer more by smelling them. These types of protestors aren’t needed.
