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.

So, how does the USPS fund this program? It is supposed to be self-sustaining (oceans of red ink notwithstanding).

They also monitor any contact with Aliens in unidentified flying craft over our Navy Ships.

Of course with the new PO motto, they will never deliver the results on time.

“Would that surveillance include FR???”

Yes via Google tracking tech. View FR source code you will find this at the bottom of the page. You will find this before the closing body tag. google-analytics.com/urchin.js

Just about every website on the Web uses Google’s free Analytic services. This allows Google to profile you and select which ads to show you. Google can also sell the data on you to the post office.

“Shadowgate”, Millie Weaver’s documentary described these operations in various agencies. Monitoring is justbthebfirst step, once they know where the networks and their members are they can infiltrate and use them for nefarious purposes, such as false flags and incitement.

Or you can believe our govt would never do that.
