Lee Smith Nails It Again, The US Postal Service Surveillance Scandal is Targeting Trump Supporters Not All Americans (A BLATENT continuation of IRS, NSA and FISA abuses)

(This is an important article) Journalist Lee Smith hits the sweet spot in his discussion of the U.S. Postal Service conducting surveillance on Americans. As Smith notes the targeting is not to identify the political ideology of “all Americans”, rather the objective is surveillance of people who likely did not vote for Joe Biden.

Again it is important to repeat, this type of activity is one long continuum. The IRS was previously used; federal contractors for the FBI have previously been used; allied Big Tech companies have been used; and now the United States Postal Service is running a covert surveillance program against Americans that sounds suspiciously like the prior DHS announcement.

So when you put the USPS statutory authority together with their technical capability, and then consider they operate their own police force… and then tie it together with “DHS Preparing to Use Private Contractors to “Scour Public Data and Social Media” To Compile Dissident Citizens for Watch List and No Fly Lists“…. what is described in the Yahoo article is almost identical to what we previously outlined.

Yahoo – The law enforcement arm of the U.S. Postal Service has been quietly running a program that tracks and collects Americans’ social media posts, including those about planned protests, according to a document obtained by Yahoo News.

The details of the surveillance effort, known as iCOP, or Internet Covert Operations Program, have not previously been made public. The work involves having analysts trawl through social media sites to look for what the document describes as “inflammatory” postings and then sharing that information across government agencies.

Now compare that description to what we previously outlined:

Treehouse – The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is now getting ready to hire public companies, individual contractors outside government, to scour public data and social media in order to provide information for the new “domestic terror watch lists.” From the description it appears DHS is going to pay “big tech” (Google, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, SnapChat, Twitter, etc.), via contracts, to hire and organize internal monitoring teams to assist the government by sending information on citizens they deem “dangerous.” (read more)

The Treehouse citation included the following NBC article.

Hat tip to Travis McGee (Matt Bracken) who sent me the link to this article a few days ago. Lee Smith is a journalist who I consider to be VERY credible. He has done all of the work for the Durham probe and......nothing. The FIB is being protected.

It worked to stop the Tea Party didn’t it. Double team of Government agencies under Obama/Biden and Media to brand all Tea Party people as Racist yahoos. Now being used to de-fang the Trump Movement and pull him from the public stage—It seems to be working too. Why wouldn’t Biden’s Cabal use this tactic?

[MtnClimber]

This is a long article. It puts together actions and dates to make sense out of what has been going on with illegal spying going back for YEARS!

All of the pieces are put together!

It took me several reads through to accept the enormity of all the evdence.

Some people will say that’s is nothing to worry about if you aren’t guilty... Only problem is Woke Law is elastic and what is legal or moral today, may not be tomorrow.

[dadfly]

yeah. thank bush for this one too.

the so called “Patriot Act” is right up there with the so called “Affordable Care Act” for orwellian double speak.

[Lurkinanloomin]

All of this is a result of NONE of our elected and appointed standing for the Constitution.

Obama is NOT a natural born citizen and should never have been allowed into the office of President.

Quite true !
Now we know why the DIms were so insistent in favor of the U.S. Mail system used for election voting !
It, too, had already been compromised (!) with adjusted post election ballots

[MayflowerMadam]

Just Trump supporters? Not all Americans? I’m shocked.

[MtnClimber]

:) That was good!

You should not have to worry....but, remember that under 0bama the IRS was trying to find ways to prosecute conservative groups filing for 501c3 tax exempt status.

Me too. Now it becomes more clear why the Dems HAD to win the 2020 presidential election at all costs, blatant or not, then the subsequent massive effort to cover up and obstructt all investigational and legal efforts all the way up to the SCOTUS. Absolute and thorough corruption

Inflammatory is anything which is insufficiently praising of communism. Every Freeper is on the no fly list.

This is why the COVID "Scamdemic" "CARES" bill that Pelosi pushed through had $10 billon for the USPS. This explains that money fully.

I, for one, would like to welcome our new Insect Overlords!

Right, guys? Haven't I always told you how beneficent and righteous Big Government is?

Huh? Huh?

Is this why the damn mail has become so slow?

[lucky american]

The postal service has your address. The postal service knows what mail you get. The postal service knows what businesses you buy from. The postal service know to whom you donate money. They needed a job for all of those fired postmasters. What better job than to sit at a computer and research those who get and receive this mail.
