Targeted Individuals' Breakthrough: Fusion Center Abusing TIs Exposed

Department of Homeland Security-funded Fusion Centers used their vast anti-terrorism, anti-crime authority and funding to conduct nationwide, hour-by-hour surveillance efforts to target innocent individuals including peaceful protestors in the Occupy Movement. This spying effort was exposed in a report issued today by Partnership for Civil Justice Fund (PCJF) based on 4,000 pages of government documents the non-profit organization obtained.

“Fusion Centers are supposedly targeting terrorists planning catastrophic acts of violence. Instead, they target peaceful dissent,” stated stated Carl Messineo, PCJF Legal Director. Rather than being a challenge to terrorism, the Fusion Centers are a threat to civil liberties, democratic dissent and the social and political fabric of this country. The time has long passed for the centers to be defunded.”

The newly published documents reveal actual workings of Fusion Centers. These center were created after 9/11 attacks ostensibly to coordinate anti-terrorism efforts in collecting and providing surveillance information on peaceful protestors. While Occupy Movement protesters and others groups such as PCJF are named in the report, most American targeted individuals realize that Fusion Centers are near the heart of their unjust in-community covert persecution. Until today, these TIs have had no where to turn for desperately needed support nor advocacy.

TIs also recognize that anyone can have their named turned into such centers for a life of unjust treatment being covertly applied throughout every level of society by government tops and contractors at computers somewhere and in local communities to ensure lives are made miserable if ruined enough to cause violence against self or others, according to their reports and news stories such as that of victim Aaron Alexis.

An ACLU report on Fusion Centers stated that 800,000 operatives were to be working throughout every American city and town, These ops now report on even the most common everyday behaviors that go into fusion centers’ data bases. [Read the PDF]

Civil servants, firefighters, police officers, corporate employees and others are being paid to collect data by spying every day on innocent people. All that information then goes into the secret data bases. They communicate in code, according to the ACLU, as TIs have been saying for over a decade.

“YOU ARE BEING MONITORED 24/7/365. EVERYTHING you say,” describes a TI on the website Tortured America. “EVERY MOVEMENT you make. EVERY phone call. EVERY internet/electronic communication and activity. EVERY transaction. EVERY breath you take. All of your habits have been analyzed. EVERYTHING about you is being analyzed. THIS IS LITERALLY THE MOVIE “Eagle Eye” and YOU are the target.”

Secretary of Homeland Security Napolitano testified that DHS is “committed to having an officer in each fusion center.” Most fusion centers work with representatives of the private sector, particularly industries related to so-called “critical infrastructure and key resources.” Most fusion centers have not even identified their physical location. Instead, many simply provide a mailing address that leads to a post office box or generic government building.  Think your state and thus your community is immune to this hidden abuse and that TIs are fabricating their persecution. Think again. One gangstalking website has listed fusion centers and their addresses.

 ”The U.S.. Fusion Centers are using their vast counter-terrorism resources to target the domestic social justice movement as a criminal or terrorist enterprise,” said PCJF Executive Director Mara Verheyden-Hilliard. “This is an abuse of power and corruption of democracy.”

PCJF’s report includes:

With PCJF exposing the hidden abuse of power of Fusion Centers, TIs have a breakthrough opportunity. They can join PCJF in calling to shut Fusion Centers. Partnership for Civil Justice Fund has initiated a nationwide campaign to flood Congress and the President with letters demanding that the Fusion Centers be de-funded and ended immediately.
