FBI spy plane reportedly making flights above Muslim-concentrated Dearborn

DEABORN, MI -- Robert Snell of the Detroit News analyzed flight data that shows a single-engine, 2010 Cessna tied to the Federal Bureau of Investigation by an Associated Press investigation this June spent a good amount of time in the skies above the Muslim-concentrated city of Dearborn this weekend.

The flight data showed the plane on Saturday and Sunday made 19 slow-speed, several-mile-wide loops above Dearborn, as well as neighboring cities of Allen Park, Melvindale, Dearborn Heights and Taylor.

"The FBI is operating a small air force with scores of low-flying planes across the country carrying video and, at times, cellphone surveillance technology — all hidden behind fictitious companies that are fronts for the government ... " The Associated Press reported in June.

The AP identified 100 flights in 11 states over a 30-day period this spring connected to FBI surveillance.

It's unclear if the weekend flights over Dearborn and neighboring cities were routine or in response to a threat.

The FBI denied it conducted targeted spy missions at all.

"Contrary to the suggestion of some recent media reporting, the FBI does not employ aviation assets to conduct mass surveillance nor to target specific communities," FBI Director of the Detroit Field Office Paul M. Abbate said in a statement Wednesday. "Neither does the FBI monitor lawfully protected First Amendment activity.

"Further, the FBI Detroit Field Office is not aware of any specific or credible threats within the local Detroit Metropolitan area."

The U.S. Attorney's Office in Detroit and the FBI declined to give comment to the Detroit News.

Deaborn, a city of nearly 100,000, has a large Muslim population with over 40 percent of its residents claiming Arab ancestry in the 2010 U.S. Census.

The AP investigation found FBI program planes tied to at least 13 fake companies and said "even basic aspects" of the program are being withheld from the public.

Snell reports the plane tracked this weekend by the Detroit News is registered to OTV Leasing of Bristow, Virgina, listing a post office box in Bristow as its address.

Not surprising. I know that Muslims in the area are probably the most closely monitored on the planet.

“Deaborn, a city of nearly 100,000, has a large Muslim population with over 40 percent of its residents claiming Arab ancestry in the 2010 U.S. Census.”

Are the Muslims that paranoid? Maybe it was the other 60% they were worried about.

better to repatriate the Enemy Within Muslims back to whatever of their home Krapistans they may happen to prefer

letting Obama bring them in here is going to turn USA into a battle zone, from sea to shining sea...as he is carefully planting them in cities and towns in many states already

what to see what Obama’s Transformed USA will look like as soon as he finishes creating his Critical Mass of enemies within (Muslims in America)? Take a look at the video from Syria, Iraq, Lebanon these days... take a look...

Dearborn is like Ellis Island for middle easterners. They all come through here but these days most of the Muslims end up somewhere else.

This sort of profiling/discrimination won’t cease until we have a Muslim FBI director.

The planes are the least of their problems. There are similar numbers of middle eastern Christians in Dearborn and they know the customs and speak the language. They can effectively pull of a muslim act and spy.

Being from Michigan it is time to wipe out Dearbornistan. I read some interesting facts there are no Mosques in the UP of Michigan. Every state in the Union has a Mosque (yes even North Dakota), but the Sate of Michigan being divided into Lower Peninsula and the Upper Peninsula are like two separate states in entireity. Lower Michigan gets the majority of the tax money and Upper Michigan gets the majority of the welfare roll money per population of the counties. Sure there are more people in lower Michigan but there are more people per population in the Upper whom get welfare that goes on and on, seeming to become generational families that are welfare rats

Having been “growed uo “ in Northern Lower Part of the state it had been a dissapointment to say the least to return for class reunions.

90+% of those that stayed after graduation are either unemployed, on disability or very minimumly employed. Most of the productive kids headed to Colorado or Texas for College/Careers and haven’t returned.

The town’s resident population has gone down slightly since 1980. It over flows with the Cidiots in the summer...

Probably need to equip it with Hellfire missiles in case they spot a Mohammed jihadist.
