Exclusive: Inside the Military's Secret Undercover Army
Newsweek ^ | May 17, 2021 | William M. Arkin

Posted on 04/10/2024 1:15:07 PM PDT by reasonisfaith

The largest undercover force the world has ever known is the one created by the Pentagon over the past decade. Some 60,000 people now belong to this secret army, many working under masked identities and in low profile, all part of a broad program called "signature reduction." The force, more than ten times the size of the clandestine elements of the CIA, carries out domestic and foreign assignments, both in military uniforms and under civilian cover, in real life and online, sometimes hiding in private businesses and consultancies, some of them household name companies.

It's not blocked, You have access to the entire article. 🙂👍

A quick click would have made that obvious to you. 🙂👍

But let me share what I have seen so far.

There is no date for its creation date. The person I had responded to, Salvavida, who had stated that he was involved in this in 2005, which would paced its beginning in the w. Bush years. If it was started in the Obama years of 2011 based upon the comment that it was within the last decade. In the article I saw two dates 2013 & 2017.

Military and intelligence agencies utilize Signature Reduction to decrease online information, or "signatures," of its covert operations. It's a counter-surveillance approach aimed to resist internet reconnaissance by stalkers, hackers, and other criminal actors in civilian terms. Most people aren't aware of how much information there is about them on the internet. By decreasing the searchable trace of online behaviors common to the ordinary internet user, Signature Reduction helps you hide your personal information from unscrupulous actors. This includes, but is not limited to, subscription purchases, vacation bookings, and social media check-ins. Source for explaining what that term means

That all sounds like a positive, however, it can also be used as a negative just as well. Considering Obama's statements regarding a private military force, coupled with what we see happening, makes it imperative to determine its creation date. Since 2013 is mentioned the it falls on Obama's term and the 2017 date confirms it was still operational under Trump.

Given the revelations from the crime scene formerly known as Twitter that Elon Musk purchased and exposed government involvement in manipulation in the claimed disinformation campaign to silence dissenters of government narratives about Covid, Hunter Biden laptop etc. etc. etc. points to this being an Obama creation.

Which contradicts the claim made by poster Salvavida in post #6. I was giving him a chance to clarify.

“The largest undercover force the world has ever known is the one created by the Pentagon over the past decade.”

The only reason I can think they would create an army like this is to eventually declare a “national emergency” and use it to assume control of the US.

I said nothing contradictory. There is no secret autonomous organization as Newsweak suggests. What is the track record of the Pentagon keeping anything a secret of this magnitude? Yeah. I worked there and the joke was, if it is classified SECRET it will be on CNN in three days.

But the capabilities are real, and they were built gradually. In 2005 there was a significant event in defense intelligence, of which I was a part of. It was instrumental in what Newsweak thinks it is seeing.

In 2011, I’m in the Pentagon taking part in some of the capabilities being put together. What did NOT happen, was a standard Joint Staff action process to build something. As I said, it naturally progressed as it matured. That is why no one heard anything.

Newsweak is clickbait.

The most dangerous threat to the republic isn’t a shadow army. It’s the stupidity of the electorate. If you vote communism, you get communism.

We are getting communism as we speak. Do you deny that? Do you deny that the government is targeting conservatives? Do you deny that government is aiding & abetting an invasion of this country larger than any invasion of a nation ever allowed.? Do you deny that the government has rigged an election to execute a coup d'Ă©tat? Do you deny that the government is jailing political prisoners and targeting a political opponent? Do you deny the fleecing of the middle-class enriching criminal politicians? Do you deny that a conspiracy existed to assist in the 2020 election theft that killed millions of people world side with a bio-weapon followed by another weapon that maimed & killed others under the guise of being a vaccine?

I suppose the gaslight operation of the American people was really a protection operation.

Are you trying to tell me that Donald John Trump is a communist?

Are you telling me that I am too stupid to see what is really going on?

I question who the heck you really are, Salvavida. Who exactly are you a lifeguard/lifesaver for?

No, a private Army is not a benign entity to a Republic. It is a dangerous one. It mat start out benign, but with the wrong person in control, you know someone like Barak Hussein Obama & others in the democrat Party who have all exhibited support for communists like John Brennon did, and what was once benign turns against the nation that he hates.

FISA is the prefect example that was started to take down foreign combatants, but was turned into something quite different when it was aimed at the political candidate DJT, or are you another ""patriot" that suffers from TDS?

We’re talking about something that’s been developed for a very long time by competent people.

You are making an assumption that these "competent people" have not been replaced long ago with people loyal to the Deep State and the globalists.

The whole process of "institutional capture" involves slowly replacing people with your own ideological loyalists at all levels. Obama's people were very busy at this all through his administration.

It is precisely this attitude that I worry about. People creating mechanisms to get around "the stupidity of the electorate", mechanisms and groups which then get used by tyrants.

“I question who the heck you really are, Salvavida. Who exactly are you a lifeguard/lifesaver for?”

Damage control operator. What we are witnessing is a joint CIA/DoD operation just as we have seen historically in other countries to steer political outcomes. They are indeed operating on American soil without legal justification. All at the behest of the MIC and New World Order globalists. And it is all rooted from the patriot act.

To capture a system by infiltration rather than invasion requires deception due to its inherently evil character.

The overthrow of the infiltrators requires another kind of covert methodology, due to mere practical need. In elevating truth and justice, this form of overthrow is far more powerful
than what the infiltrators have available to them.
