The U.S. government of course is totally corrupt, and many of its agencies are even worse simply due to the very covert nature of their illegal activities. What was revealed yesterday was that agents of the criminal Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) are using information gathered by “intelligence” agencies, illegal spying, a massive database (remember the NSA scandal) of telephone records and unknown informants in order to affect investigations against Americans.
These so-called criminal investigations end in harassment, incarceration or worse, but even more sinister is the fact that DEA agents are destroying evidence as to how and where all this information is derived. This is a cover up that is allowing these government agents to hide important evidence from defense attorneys and judges.
In addition, not only is this important evidence being destroyed, but agents are recreating the entire trail of events in order to cover up sources and illegal surveillance and spying of Americans.
The suspicious information sources are a covert unit of the DEA called the Special Operations Division (SOD) that partners with other agencies including the “FBI, CIA, NSA, Internal Revenue Service and the Department of Homeland Security.” Most all this information gathering is “classified.” (secret) From yesterday’s article in Reuter’s:
A former federal agent in the northeastern United States who received such tips from SOD described the process. “You’d be told only, ‘Be at a certain truck stop at a certain time and look for a certain vehicle.’ And so we’d alert the state police to find an excuse to stop that vehicle, and then have a drug dog search it,” the agent said.
After an arrest was made, agents then pretended that their investigation began with the traffic stop, not with the SOD tip, the former agent said. The training document reviewed by Reuters refers to this process as “parallel construction.”
Among other things, this activity is illegal, fraudulent and corrupt, and since the sources are hidden, there is no way to verify any authenticity. It is basically the U.S. police state run amuck, and the victims are those targeted for illegal surveillance by the government.
If one wonders how much the NSA mining of private activity that has been exposed by the heroic Edward Snowden is being used, this is just one example. The monitoring of Americans is being done on a much wider scale than most can imagine, and it is being used in order to expand the power of the state over each and every one of us. We are all being watched and monitored, and our private information and communications are being databased. The only secrets left standing are those of the tyrannical United States government in this police state of America!
