Air Force OSI special agents work on felony crimes and drug use
|
|
|
| [According to the Washington Post article below, the Pentagon's
Counterintelligence Field Activity (CIFA) agency is "carrying out
intelligence collection, analysis and operations within the United
States." What sort of operations are being conducted within the
United States? CIFA's Directorate of Field Activities has among its
missions "disrupting adversaries and helping control the intelligence
domain." That includes "surveillance of potentially threatening
people." What kinds of surveillance methods and devices are used?
What kinds of "disrupting" techniques are used? How are people
determined to be "threats"? What does it mean to "control the
intelligence domain"? The answers to these questions are classified,
and even Congresspeople do not know.
It is only a short step from surveillance to surveillance-based
harassment, especially when super-secret military technologies are
available to be used deniably. From there it is just another short
step to modern MKULTRA-style attempts at influencing thoughts and
behaviors (such as by abusing voice-to-skull technologies).
CIFA's Behavioral Sciences directorate "has 20 psychologists and a
multimillion-dollar budget." (Remember that Military Intelligence
"behavioral science consultation teams" supervised the use of no-touch
torture and humiliation techniques at Abu Ghraib and elsewhere.)
A senior military official reports that CIFA has received no oversight
from Congress, and its authority is growing.
CIFA is a strong candidate for being one of the groups conducting
domestic "mind control" harassment operations. Citizens all across
the nation have been (and are being) severely harassed -- well beyond
the point of torture. That is the red-pill reality, not the delusional
blue-pill world that is reported in the propaganda newspapers. This
harassment itself is a form of terrorism which absolutely needs to be
abolished, no matter which groups or agencies are doing it.
Almost in passing, at the end of the article below, it is mentioned
that "Air Force OSI special agents work on felony crimes and drug
use..." See also http://public.afosi.amc.af.mil/crimebuster_tips.asp.
The article does not describe what sorts of, for example, drug use the
AFOSI is investigating. Does this have implications for Posse
Comitatus? What oversight and due process protections are there?
Some COINTELPRO documents actually suggested that marijuana use should
be used as a way to target citizens who were politically active in the
"New Left":

What felony crimes are targeted by AFOSI and other agencies? Oral sex
was a felony in Virginia, for example, up until a 2003 Supreme Court
ruling. Before that the law was mainly selectively enforced against
prostitutes and gays. What types of selective enforcement could AFOSI
and other agencies engage in, especially for political reasons?]

Pentagon's Intelligence Authority Widens

Fact Sheet Details Secretive Agency's Growth From Focus on Policy to
Counterterrorism
By Walter Pincus
Washington Post Staff Writer
Monday, December 19, 2005; A10
The Pentagon's newest counterterrorism agency, charged with protecting
military facilities and personnel wherever they are, is carrying out
intelligence collection, analysis and operations within the United
States and abroad, according to a Pentagon fact sheet on the
Counterintelligence Field Activity, or CIFA, provided to The
Washington Post.
CIFA is a three-year-old agency whose size and budget remain
secret. It has grown from an agency that coordinated policy and
oversaw the counterintelligence activities of units within the
military services and Pentagon agencies to an analytic and operational
organization with nine directorates and ever-widening authority.
Its Directorate of Field Activities (DX) "assists in preserving the
most critical defense assets, disrupting adversaries and helping
control the intelligence domain," the fact sheet said. Those roles can
range from running roving patrols around military bases and facilities
to surveillance of potentially threatening people or organizations
inside the United States. The DX also provides "on-site, real time
.. . . support in hostile areas worldwide to protect both U.S. and host
nation personnel from a variety of threats," the fact sheet said.
This is just one illustration of the growth of Pentagon activities in
the United States and abroad as part of the terrorism fight. Last
week, news accounts revealed that President Bush authorized secret
eavesdropping on Americans with suspected ties to terrorist groups.
Another CIFA directorate, the Counterintelligence and Law Enforcement
Center, "identifies and assesses threats" to Defense personnel,
operations and infrastructure from "insider threats, foreign
intelligence services, terrorists, and other clandestine or covert
entities," according to the Pentagon.
CIFA manages the Pentagon database that includes Talon reports,
consisting of raw, unverified information picked up by the military
services on suspicious activities that could involve terrorist
threats. The Pentagon acknowledged last week that the Talon database
contained reports on peaceful civilian protests and demonstrations
that should have been purged long ago under Defense Department
regulations.
A third CIFA directorate, Behavioral Sciences, "has 20 psychologists
and a multimillion-dollar budget," and supports both "offensive and
defensive counterintelligence efforts," according to a government
biography of its director, S. Scott Shumate. Shumate was the chief
operational psychologist for the CIA's counterterrorism center until
2003. His group has also provided a "team of renowned forensic
psychologists [who] are engaged in risk assessments of the Guantanamo
Bay detainees," according to his biography.
A Pentagon official said none of Shumate's team members questions
detainees as part of helping produce threat reports, though they may
relay questions to the interrogators.
A former senior Pentagon intelligence official, familiar with CIFA,
said yesterday, "They started with force protection from terrorists,
but when you go down that road, you soon are into everything
.. . . where terrorists get their money, who they see, who they deal
with."
He added, noting that there had been no congressional oversight of
CIFA, that the Defense Department is "too big, too rich an
organization and should not be left unfettered. They rush in where
there is a vacuum."
A former senior counterterrorism official, also familiar with CIFA,
said, "What you are seeing is the militarization of counterterrorism."
CIFA's authority is still growing. In a new move to centralize all
counterterrorism intelligence collection inside the United States, the
Defense Department this month gave CIFA authority to task domestic
investigations and operations by the counterintelligence units of the
military services.
The tasking authority allows CIFA to assign Defense
counterintelligence organizations "to execute a specific mission or
conduct a function falling within that organization's charter,"
according to a Dec. 1 memo signed by Robert W. Rogalski, acting deputy
undersecretary of Defense for counterintelligence and security, that
was provided to The Post.
CIFA's new authority will give the agency the ability to propose
missions to Army, Navy and Air Force units, which combined have about
4,000 trained active, reserve and civilian investigators in the United
States and abroad. For example, the Air Force Office of Special
Investigations (AFOSI) has 1,935 "federally credentialed special
agents," according to its Web site. The military service agents
investigate crime and terrorism.
By comparison, the FBI recently disclosed it has about 11,000 special
agents overall, about 4,929 of whom are assigned to terrorism
investigation. Of those, the FBI has 103 assigned to its Joint
Terrorism Task Force. The Navy Criminal Investigation Service has
reported that it has 34 of its operational people assigned to joint
terrorism units.
The Air Force OSI special agents work on felony crimes and drug use,
but threat detection has increasingly become a focus. "AFOSI manages
offensive and defensive activities to detect, counter and destroy the
effectiveness of hostile intelligence services and terrorist groups
that target the Air Force," according to an official service Web site.
Anti-terrorism teams have been created "to meet the increasing
challenges presented by worldwide terrorism," the service said. These
groups "provide anti-terrorism, counterterrorism information
collections and investigative services to Air Force personnel and
units."
I do hope nobody in this newsgroup has been using any drugs.
Just say "No!", especially if your dealer is an OSI agent.

And I certainly hope nobody in Virginia was indulging in oral sex before 2003.
It was a felony yaknow.
