The Department of Homeland Spying

"AmeriKan Fascism takes another leap forward:

"Homeland Security setting up counterspy unit" by Eileen Sullivan, Associated Press Writer | August 12, 2008

WASHINGTON --
Concerns about foreign spies and terrorists have prompted the Homeland Security Department to set up its own counterintelligence division and require strict reporting from employees about foreign travel, according to a memo obtained by The Associated Press....

The agency, formed in 2003 after the 9/11 attacks, has about 216,000 employees and posts around the world. It includes divisions that protect the country's borders, develop new radiation detection equipment, study and test infectious diseases, enforce immigration and maritime laws, protect the president and other dignitaries, coordinate disaster response, work to keep terrorists off of airplanes and other transportation, and monitor and prevent cyber-intrusions.

Homeland Security is creating a counterintelligence system now, because there is currently no place for such a function in the department....

"We are still a relatively young department," Homeland Security spokesman Russ Knocke said, adding that the memo reflects the department's maturity over the past five years. Counterintelligence is an organized effort to block an enemy's sources of information and access to sensitive material. It can also be used to give misinformation.

It is just like what Ron Paul said: once you create these government bureaucracies, you can never get rid of them.


All of it in response to the lie of 9/11.
