A division of the U.S. Postal Service that investigates illegal mail activities has been quietly running a âcovertâ program to monitor the social media posts of Americansâ.
Yahoo Newsâ Jana Winter broke this bombshell, reporting:
"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 âinflammatoryâ postings and then sharing that information across government agencies.
âAnalysts with the United States Postal Inspection Service (USPIS) Internet Covert Operations Program (iCOP) monitored significant activity regarding planned protests occurring internationally and domestically on March 20, 2021,â says the March 16 government bulletin, marked as âlaw enforcement sensitiveâ and distributed through the Department of Homeland Securityâs fusion centers. âLocations and times have been identified for these protests, which are being distributed online across multiple social media platforms, to include right-wing leaning Parler and Telegram accounts.â
A number of groups were expected to gather in cities around the globe on March 20 as part of a World Wide Rally for Freedom and Democracy, to protest everything from lockdown measures to 5G. âParler users have commented about their intent to use the rallies to engage in violence. Image 3 on the right is a screenshot from Parler indicating two users discussing the event as an opportunity to engage in a âfightâ and to âdo serious damage,ââ says the bulletin.
âNo intelligence is available to suggest the legitimacy of these threats,â it adds.
The bulletin includes screenshots of posts about the protests from Facebook, Parler, Telegram and other social media sites. Individuals mentioned by name include one alleged Proud Boy and several others whose identifying details were included but whose posts did not appear to contain anything threatening.â
As Sen Ted Cruz asks âIs there any federal agency that's not spying on Americans?"
Apparently, USPS wants to be in on the intelligence community and thus apart of the deep state.
