Pentagon spying on ‘suspicious’ domestic citizens
Surprised? Horrified, maybe. That a group of power-mad fascists with no respect for civil liberties or the law would do something like this is not surprising.
A year ago, at a Quaker Meeting House in Lake Worth, Fla., a small group of activists met to plan a protest of military recruiting at local high schools. What they didn’t know was that their meeting had come to the attention of the U.S. military.
A secret 400-page Defense Department document obtained by NBC News lists the Lake Worth meeting as a “threat” and one of more than 1,500 “suspicious incidents” across the country over a recent 10-month period.
Let me repeat: the US military is spying on domestic antiwar groups and keeping a database of these incidents.
And here I thought the fascist police state was just around the corner. Who knew it was already here?
