Cache of Commonwealth Fusion Center Documents from 2005 and 2007 Reveals ACLU Complicity and Military-Police “Intelligence Management System” Contracts

Brief Report | Ramola D | February 12, 2024/Updated Feb 13, 2024

A most extraordinary cache of Commonwealth Fusion Center documents, some seemingly innocuous, some startlingly questionable, and some frankly opaque to cursory review can be found at the ACLU Massachusetts website, Data for Justice, here: https://data.aclum.org/public-records/eopss-fusion-center-information/

Apparently the ACLU Massachusetts FOIA-queried the Massachusetts Executive Office for Public Safety and Security in 2005 and 2007 and was obligingly sent a trove of documents describing CFC, FBI, JTTF, and related matters.

Now, this is the kind of information journalists like me have been searching for–in vain–since 2013, and been unable to find.

ACLU Massachusetts Apprised of Electromagnetic Weaponry Use on the Ground in the Boston Area in 2014

Keep in mind also that this writer visited the ACLU Massachusetts in Boston in person, in winter 2014, very soon after she was unlawfully targeted, in the Boston area, in Massachusetts, by obvious criminals with connections to Police powers, to report the Crime and seek help, and was both mocked in person at that very office, by people at the desk–apparently set in place there to filter out, repel, and reject any kind of reportage-on-the-ground of police crime, “surveillance” crime with Electromagnetic Weaponry and Neuroweaponry and massive, incomprehensible–and most racist–social harassment, and refused the courtesy of serious human rights and civil rights consideration with a letter, succeeding, from Senior Counsel, informing her ACLU Massachusetts could not help her because she was an “individual, not a group.”

Regarding the Now-Obsolete “Human Dignity Council”

Now this trip had been undertaken with the lady known as Letitia Aby, named a “buddy” on the now-obsolete Freedom from Covert Harassment website, which purported to bring those “Targeted” from contiguous areas together, and which has since distinguished itself in any number of ways, including with involvement in a Wells Fargo lawsuit for the theft of half a million dollars, noticed earlier in my Insider Talk notes.

Ms. Letitia Aby features prominently in this writer’s first encounters with shady support groups and CIA-Military-run “organizations exposing targeting” (a Psy Op running wheelspinning operations for unlawful human experimentation and weapons-testing on humans) as one seeking to start up a new human rights organization on the East Coast titled “The Human Dignity Council” which she informed this writer she could play second fiddle on, then proceeding to demand and requisition various forms of writing and conference appearances which she curiously abruptly excused herself from.

ACLU Not Keen to Touch the Mega and Primary Issue of Unlawful Targeting and Assault and Battery of Citizens with Military Electronic Warfare Weaponry

It is on one such occasion in 2014 that this writer found herself participant, abruptly and unexpectedly, on an online telephone call with State Department Human Rights Officers, and engaged in conversation with another senior ACLU attorney, Jameel Jaffer, who assured her he was glad (paraphrasing) “there were other organizations to address such matters”– specialties, he meant, such as Surveillance Abuse with the incredible add-on of Electromagnetic and Neuroweaponry assault which this writer had just informed the audio-assembled group of human rights organizations about–as if ACLU isn’t supposed to be interested in this very thing, which unlawfully removes rights and attacks Americans in their homes, lives, workplaces, and neighborhoods.

At the time of the visit to ACLU Massachusetts, this writer noticed that Ms. Aby appeared to know the people at the front desk and indeed know the general protocol of reportage there, producing an ACLU form and requesting this writer fill it, a form with questions framed in rather belligerent wise, apparently inviting provocation and entitled-sounding response; the oddness of Ms. Aby’s seeming camaraderie and plausible collusiveness with the mockery and skeptical attitude of staff did not inspire confidence in this writer–and should have alerted her to possible FBI/Police/NSA/CIA complicity with ACLU and with Ms. Aby at the time, but didn’t, because she was completely unaware of such linkages as extant Intelligence ploy then.

This writer is no longer associated in any way with “The Human Dignity Council” or Ms. Letitia Aby, nor is warmly inclined–for the reasons spelled out above–toward the ACLU Massachusetts, which appears complicit with the criminals still in power, and seems to query for and obtain documents from Massachusetts Government with ease, while indeed the latter has refused often to respond to this writer’s FOIA-queries with actual information, but has proved well-capable of using Legal Counsel to return long and complex and meaningless responses to rationalize negations instead.

More egregious, it was 2014. These documents, FOIA-requested in 2005 and 2007, were given to the ACLU Massachusetts in 2005 and 2007. Showing clearly that the Commonwealth Fusion Center was setting up agreements with numerous parties in Boston, and in fact building what is being blatantly referred to as “co-governance” with soliciting and collusion of private corporations–non-Law-Enforcement–in the workings of the Fusion Center, the collection includes a rather telling contract between a well-known Defense contractor, but a foreign one, in fact a British Defense contractor, Raytheon Company, and the Massachusetts Department of State Police–which runs the CFC. The contract sought the creation and maintenance of a large database Intelligence Management system, software and hardware both, to collect and process various kinds of investigative information to be kept classified, “Law-Enforcement sensitive,” and is accompanied by a Request for Information which reads like several bureaucratic types immersed in legalese and transitioning the Commonwealth to the Fourth Reich had written it.


Raytheon is a Defense contractor which has helped develop and field what the military has termed “non-lethal” directed energy weapons, in “technology demonstrations” which have led to sales of weaponry to US police departments, as this article from 2007 discusses, in relation to Active Denial Systems–Millimeter Wave High Frequency burn-and-blister-causing weapons, an unacceptable “crowd-control” “non-lethal” technology promoted worldwide by police agencies next to Tasers, both extremely violative of basic human rights–both needing to be Banned, completely and absolutely.

[2-12-2024: Just found today, this evidence of “technology demonstration” programs (addressed in the article linked below) funded by the National Institute of Justice, NIJ, of distinctly anti-human, anti-life, human-rights-violative and civil-rights-violative weaponry termed “less-lethal technologies,” as also much else from here, obviously known to ACLU and others at the time (2005-7) and never reported as hugely inhumane and needing termination. Posted here 2-13-2024. To be more fully reported shortly.]

https://tucson.com/business/police-agencies-look-to-raytheon-weapon/article_233763c6-9579-5e2c-b6b8-3c2fac055138.html

The relationship between Fusion Center Police and a huge Defense corporation used to dealing with classified data awarded a contract to engage in long-term collection and handling of vast masses of data to be then kept “law-enforcement sensitive”–questionable in every way–was therefore well-known to the ACLU Massachusetts well before 2014. Basically, Police using Military (which turns out to be Private-Sector Military) to set up compendious Intelligence efforts against the People.

Yet their response in 2014 to a writer’s report of military use of military weapons on the ground, in Massachusetts, apparently in conjunction with uber and unlawful, unwarranted, illegitimate, illegal, and unlawful surveillance of people living in Massachusetts was merely one of languid disinterest.

Clearly that contract–which sought to highlight Criminal Justice information and Terrorism information (See Attachment A of the Request for Information/Response/Open Solicitation, also posted below)–was linked therefore to Surveillance, has planned and, with other DHS, MSP, FBI, JTTF means, has been enacting abusive secret Surveillance on the citizenry since the time of its creation.

Yet it was never reported by ACLU Massachusetts, was not reported in any media, and has not been spoken about publicly, by either Raytheon or MSP or CFC.

It could well be that it is this very system’s (requisitioned “Intelligence Management System”) database–or at least one of them–which the State Auditor has reported in 2019 as the CFC withholding audit-access to.

“Classified personal data” in the State Audit Report 2019 begins to make a lot more sense now–there is clearly a lot of information being held in that database–as in other police and FBI databases probably: Coplink, e-Guardian–that is personal, private, and fraudulently linked to actual people who are actually being targeted, unlawfully, and for no reason whatsoever, by CFC, MSP, FBI, and Raytheon and friends. In other words, these are people–like myself–who are not criminals, who hold no criminal record, who have never committed crimes by US Code or Massachusetts Code, international law or any other documented body of laws, who have been swept up unlawfully into a police database–for no cause–and then sold out to military contractors running weapons-testing operations on the populace–revealed here by the US Air Force–as if that could even be considered Normal, let alone Legal–yes, Legal Counsel at places like General Dynamics and Lockheed Martin and others who hold AP-DEW testing contracts with the US Navy, Air Force, Army, Marine Corps, can and should indeed be challenged on the legality as also the lawfulness of what they have permitted, as should all US Military IRBs (institutional review boards) and the OHRP, whose easy signing-off on Federal Wide Assurances positing “minimal risk” and assuming Informed Consent in face of its denial must also be considered unlawful and illegal–because fraudulent. (See Claiming Human Rights Protections on US Air Force Directed Energy Bio-Behavioral Research RF HPM Weapons-Testing Contracts.)

“Less Lethal Force” Report from ACLU Appears to Endorse Anti Personnel-Directed Energy Weaponry Use on the Citizenry

This writer has also just encountered another document online from ACLU posted by ACLU Massachusetts on Less Lethal Force seemingly dated from 2005. ACLU itself, in correspondence with this writer, at time of her report at ACLU Massachusetts headquarters in Boston in early winter 2014, never made mention of this report, and has proved alarmingly lethargic in response to all recent citizen reports of grave bodily harm with so-called less lethal weapons and non-lethal weapons which this writer has been covering now for several years.

This report needs further study and will be reported on again in greater detail shortly. A cursory review reveals its focus on what the US Military likes to focus discourse surrounding this subject on: paint balls and rubber bullets, but here with a mention of the dreaded Tasers and Electrical Devices–all of which are hugely violative human-rights-assaultive Bioweapons which any self-respecting human rights organization would instantly demand removal of, from any and all human and humane society.

Which apparently the ACLU is not doing, seemingly holding hands with Police instead to suggest supposed “regulations”: No, we need Banning and Termination of Use of these Bioweapons which have caused Atrocity in testing, technology demonstration, and fielding operations all over this country and worldwide, which hundreds of thousands of those Targeted unlawfully have been bearing witness to, for decades now–people of integrity and education reporting Crime, but being promoted by the US “Press” and non-responsive rights and liberties organizations as “Mentally Ill” instead, all to very obviously dismiss their reportage while co-permitting the continued abuse of their bodies, brains, and nervous systems for Target Practice–by all factions: unlawfully acting Military and Police both.

For ACLU and ACLU Massachusetts to deny these numerous reports and seemingly endorse this deadly weaponry is pure complicity. Reprehensible and disappointing; this writer is severely unsettled by this find and will report further shortly.

COMMONWEALTH FUSION CENTER DOCUMENTS, from 2005 and 2007

The entire collection of documents as posted online at the ACLU Massachusetts website can be found here.

Supported by federal funding, the contract appears to have Department of Homeland Security backing, which no doubt makes it larger right there than it seems to be. And indeed verbiage in the Request for Information and Request for Response does suggest as much.

In other words this may not have been a purely regional, MSP Commonwealth-specific contract but in some way linked to the larger DHS enterprise.

Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of State Police Contract, May 2005, with Raytheon Company

A single-year contract for 2005-2006 delineated a Single Department procurement with Multiple Department users, the Contract Performance Description notes that “Contract is for the purchase of Intelligence Management software, related supplies, service, and maintenance per RFR SP04-198 and the additional terms and conditions.”

A note in the RFI (below) further describes Single Department procurement/Multiple users:

Contract (PDF below the Contract page screenshot here):

Massachusetts State Police Request for Information, SP04-I97, Intelligence Management System, Due February 2003:

The RFI sought to automate collection and processing of information titled “intelligence information” into a “single enterprise-wide repository to facilitate intelligence reporting and analysis of the information.” Large volumes of data were expected to be amassed. Sophisticated data analysis capabilities and data mining operations were expected to be built in. And a web-based front-end to permit ease of dissemination to all police personnel inside and outside the MSP whom the MSP wished to reach was intended.

The Request for Response and Procurement Scope/Attachment A documents included with this RFI clarify firther what this IMS intended and anticipated. Some key excerpts below.

Evidence of State Police/Commonwealth Fusion Center Intent to Force “Intelligence” Collection By All for Inclusion in an Essentially Fraudulent Mass Database and Ever Growing “Intelligence Management System” Binding All 4: Intelligence, Military, Police, Government, with State Police at Front-End (& Back)

Excerpt, Request for Response (included in the RFI PDF [PDF posted below]):

Excerpt from the Request for Response; Confusion in Language, Clarity in Outcome Intended: Military Contractor Intended to Create and Maintain Compendious Intelligence Collection and Management System for All Arms of Commonwealth Government, schools, cities, hospitals et al AKA Everything: The Key to Military-Intel-Police Communism suppressing the People: Completely Illegal and Unlawful and Human-Rights-Violative.

Excerpt, Attachment A from the RFI PDF[PDF posted below]:

The Transformation of Police into “Intelligence” writ large in these pages: or are we looking at Intelligence (CIA?NSA?) using the Police as Front-End Cover for Mass Collection of Everyone’s Data Alleging Terrorism? Is “Criminal Information System” a Cover for “Falsifying-Records for Framing-All System” in the style of the FBI? Where is the line between the FBI and CIA…? How is Massachusetts State Police–and possibly State Police nationwide–involved? Notice the entire contract is predicated on Homeland Security grant funding. [On a side note: Massachusetts State Police is headquartered in Framing-ham….!]

Administrative Provisions

Wording in the Administrative Provisions–a small excerpt–calling upon extant legislation suggests that local police forces and other criminal justice agencies would not be interfered with, directed, supervised or controlled by reason of federal funds being applied for and secured. [Although other forms of federal interference were promised: one has to read these clauses in this agreement carefully, to notice the exemptions function as intentions, actually.]

Massachusetts State Police Commonwealth Fusion Center IMS Final Budget for Homeland Security Funding, 2004-2005

This budget document for the Intelligence Management System appears to suggest there was a running fund from the Department of Homeland Security assigned to the Department of State Police for the creation and maintenance of this Intelligence Management System.

Interdepartmental Service Agreement, Anticipated Budget, 2005 and 2006

Interestingly, the “State Homeland Security Grant” on this Anticipated Budget sheet seems to have jumped from a little over half a million dollars to 3.8 million dollars from 2005 to 2006.

PS: Several flying helicopters, drones, zoomers on the street and nonstop biohacking remote-access assault and battery has been going on over the past couple days here at this writer’s private residence in Quincy, Massachusetts as she strove to put this piece together. Apparently pulling up old Fusion Center documents from the Internet and reposting them poses a particular problem to certain “Intelligence” and Police parties commandeering helicopters, drones, useless and antagonizing fleets of zoomers and “non-lethal” Bioweapon-wielders whose committing of Crimes With Weapons on a massive scale –in peaceful, civilian space, on the Land and Soil of America–is yet not being stopped. –Ramola D, 11:19 am, 2-12-2024

February 13, 2024:

Attachment A of the RFI, 2005: Mass Collection and Select Targets–“Intelligence” or Random Lies?

The information contained in Attachment A (screenshot below) at the end of the Request for Information (PDF above) describes in simpler language what the Intelligence Management System is all about. It is now called the State Police IMS, and it seeks to pull together all the little memos and post-its and emails and texts from civilian and police entities both, condemning (millions of) select targets for (various degrees of) framing for life-takedown and false-claims of lone-wolf-terrorism, violent extremism, domestic terrorism and other choice labels, while keeping all “law-enforcement-sensitive” meaning undercover in secret police form, which really means self-exemption at inception from any kind of Audit, Disclosure, or Public Records Access.

Which means anything could be stored in here–Lies, Falsifications of Fact, False Narratives, False Labels–and no-one could FOIA-query for its release or State Audit it. Or, if you could, you would find the Lies et al, now from the State Police IMS.

I’m just wondering if the little murmurs and whispers–usual conveyance of lies and smears and false-claims–from targeters on the ground, such as each one of us has been targeted by, inclusive of School Boards and Principals, Senators and State Representatives, are actually Note’d in here, in this seemingly compendious database which seems to represent the essential Mass-Collection minus Commonsense and Moral Values and Awareness of Rights that Fuhrers Bush, Clinton, Bush (II), Obama, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Hayden, Biden et al embarked on, back in 2001 just post World Trade Towers demolition as CONUS became “Homeland” and “Security” became Terrorism. 3:35 pm.

I rather suspect most of that was conveyed word-of-mouth–the actual targeting and lies, but at some point someone has to have written up some false reports for this rather important-sounding database system. Remember this IMS was created on DHS funds, and renewed, year after year, and that Raytheon was given this job. The same Raytheon (a foreign entity) building deadly Area Denial Less Lethal Tech and demo’ing them–on Those Targeted unlawfully, in-house, that is, within CONUS–the Continental United States. 3:40 pm.

The thing to notice here further, is the tender allusion to “Intelligence.” All of a sudden we are told it’s all Intelligence data being acquired, managed, and spread around (as smear campaigns are, on the ground, in neighborhoods, by actual DHS/FBI/Police representatives, a la fusion center contractors who turn out to be primarily military veterans and former police and their connections) “to law enforcement personnel both internal and external to the Department of State Police.” 3:47 pm.

Are they one and the same then? That’s my question.

Either way: incredible invasion of privacy, incredible hubris, incredible encroachment on our natural, living, human rights as living beings, humans, Americans. 3:50 pm.

[Having survived the death-hits at my heart the last couple hours, on both heart and arm really–drones, planes and zoomers rife–through the rain–I will close this section for now. 3:52 pm, 2-13-2024. More in my Reporter’s Note 16, upcoming.]

The Commonwealth Fusion Center: 2019 State of Massachusetts Audit Reveals Active Concealment of Information by State Police, DHS, FBI

Brief Report & Note | Ramola D | February 7-9, 2024

Given the incredible activity on my street lately–reported recently in a few Reporter’s Notes–with armed pickups, trucks, SUVs, sedans simply racing up and down the street (in Quincy, Massachusetts) at all hours of the day and night, including up to 3 am when I just happen to be awake reading or writing, and the constant flyover of drones and helicopters lately, sound of police sirens in the distance, bright white of satellites and the blinking red of celltowers in my windows, the constant circling of what I have surmised to be FBI surveillance planes visible just past the agile mercury flicker of drones buzzing through trees, I have become curious again as to what part local Fusion Center Contractors, the Boston FBI, local Police, and State Police versus larger agencies like the CIA and DHS and Military divisions like the Air Force, Army, Navy and Marine Corps play in this charade really, and why exactly is this happening?

Over the past ten years I have written about the reality of US Air Force Weapons Testing of high-powered microwave and millimeter wave weapons, as well as reported on other forms of DARPA-DOJ Limited-Effects Technologies being plied on the streets of the United States of America in testing operations.

I have sent in dozens of FOIA requests to numerous agencies about aerial and vehicular activity in this area–originally at Muckrock, where it appears efforts have been made to stifle my reportage, a matter I am still needing to continue to address with them, and later here at my site.

It is overtly clear though that systematic covert activity has been conducted in my neighborhood for about 10 years now that I know of, and continues to be conducted.

It is not activity that has human rights at its center, nor is it activity that has neighborhood calm, peacekeeping, safety at its center.

Screeching power saws, uber-loud leafblowers, tearing-down zoomers, burning-rubber vroomers, jeeps with horns blaring all the way down the street, and nonstop drones and helicopters along with crazed chem trail activity and military plane flyovers–and ludicrous street-theater actions from neighbors–are not indicative of Peace and Quiet on Neighborhood Streets.

Couple this with the known covert activity of microwave and other electromagnetic radiation weapon use in neighborhoods–related to the Weapons Testing noted here–and much else, much exotic technology being tested in secret and operated in secret, and the massive build-up of secret service-members, military sappers, Intelligence spies, academic researchers in AI, Neuroscience, Neurotechnology now crowding our living spaces, living and working among us, often revealing themselves as paid mercenaries, playing or hiding behind “Community Monitoring” and “Community Policing”–and what we have in evidence here is cultivated hostility and manufactured urban warfare by numerous paid parties being ignored and supported by local government and police.

What are Fusion Centers doing therefore, really? Their purported focus on Targeted Violence and Terrorism: has it turned into long-term Manufacture of Targeted Violence and Terrorism? Domestic Terrorism, that is, on our streets, in our neighborhoods, and inside our houses–all using the fancy military Full-Spectrum Multi-Domain networks of drone-plane-heli-celltower-RFID-WBAN-HAARP-GWEN-IoT-IoNBT-Vaccine & Syringe Implants-Signals Intelligence-EM Radiation Weaponry-Acoustic Weaponry-Neuroweaponry-Neighborhood Rings-Parked Cars-Portable Devices operating in plain sight, and run by the very “Peacekeepers” now turned Warlords on our streets?

2019 Audit Report on State Police-Fusion Center Operations (2014-2017) from the Office of the State Auditor

This 2019 Audit Report from the Office of the State Auditor, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, a chance find, reveals that the Commonwealth Fusion Center, the designated primary fusion center in Massachusetts, refuses to reveal most everything everyone wants to know about what they do actually, who works for them, the Suspicious Activity Reports associated with them, what exactly these SAR activities may be (Helicopter flew over just then, I would suspect a local Sea Street sent (Quincy Police) helicopter, 10:31 pm, Feb 7, 2024), what connection these have with the police and paramilitary actions we see in our cities and on our streets, where Public Safety fits in, where Military Weapons Testing fits in, where Mental Health, Behavioral Health, Public Health fits in, where non-consensual but apparently yet ongoing Brain and AI/Cybernetics/Robotics experimentation fits in, where Watchlisting and the FBI fits in, where the CIA and NSA fit in, and if indeed there could possibly be a single person in Boston or Massachusetts even faintly interested in being (or becoming) a Terrorist, given all the deadly, dangerous, and horrific firepower owned and operated by the Police in Massachusetts, and the US Military. Not to mention the whole history of Police mistreatment of civilians and their long-term build-up of Hostility and Antagonism toward the citizenry, their history of Harm and Oppression. Essentially, it appears, they are Against the People, not for them; “Policing” therefore needs close scrutiny and “Community Policing” as a concept and an action means only the turning of People against People. It is Communist.

Perusal of this brief and mystifying report–as also the National Network of Fusion Centers summaries–does however reveal who is involved, and how the concealing of information is accomplished across agencies.

State Police Runs the Fusion Center

Massachusetts State Police seems to own the Commonwealth Fusion Center. There is however an entity called the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security which supposedly directs the CFC. I wonder if this means a kind of confusion in creation or whether it just means that Mass Government runs both State Police and the Commonwealth Fusion Center (CFC). I was told in 2015 that the CFC was headed by the Head of State Police, and was sent this document–Commonwealth Center Privacy Policy dated June 13, 2013–which has a lot more information than it appears was provided on the 2019 Audit Report. [I had asked at the time (in November 2014) about whether the CFC/DHS was running any kind of investigation on me (I was told None), and I wrote back to ask why exactly the Legal Counsel from State Police was writing back to me (and not the DHS as I’d thought the CFC was run by).]

[As far as personal investigations go, looking anew at how agencies communicate with each other, certainly through databases, it cannot possibly be that the DHS or the CFC would not have had word or wind of (unwarranted) investigations on me, which the FBI probably certainly has–not that they have furnished me evidence of same yet–because there is absolutely no way I could have been uber-fixated on by numerous parties for 10 years, nor been subjected to such extended, extensive, and extreme Electromagnetic Weaponry and Neuroweaponry abuse, without fraudulent FBI watchlisting and CFC participation; these records need to be unearthed and published, and they will probably be completely false and fraudulent, as I suspect has occurred in everyone’s cases, who has been unlawfully targeted, watchlisted, thrown into incomprehensibly treasonous, torturous, persecutory (another helicopter overhead, 8:30 am, 2-8-2024 just as I write) sadistic, and vile “weapons-testing” and other biomedical and AI experimentation programs, without consent, without cause–and for years and years and years, without reprieve. Yes, these are human rights violations on a mammoth scale, and yes the whole world needs to know about this.]

How are Fusion Centers set up?

Interestingly, the DHS website seems to have a lot more information on Fusion Centers today than it has had in the past. It would have been invaluable though, to find a report from the State Auditor offering the truth of what is going on on the ground. [Truth, of course, is a little hard to find these days, from government agencies.]

The way Fusion Centers were set up initially and who they report to and what they actually do has been covered and FOIA-requested by others, including the ACLU and the Brennan Center for Justice. There is also a document, Fusion Center Guidelines (links below), from most likely 2005 (actually 2006, I learn later, from the State Auditor’s Report 2019) which details the plans for fusion centers–which number 80 now currently, inside the USA. [80 Fusion Centers countable as noted online at DHS February 8, 2024 also here.]

This guide also notes early history and provides insight into connections between agencies involved, while detailing how fusion centers have intended to target and isolate people on the basis of “Suspicious Activity Reports”–a matter which still needs close further investigating; there is something about Fusion Centers, even reading this Guidelines document, which becomes apparent as intrinsically unacceptable even as the whole notion of Information-Sharing, the premise of Fusion, seems superficially acceptable within a Law and Order context of routing out actual crime and actual terrorism, such as they exist.

Fusion Center Guidelines: Developing and Sharing Information and Intelligence in a New Era

The Commonwealth Fusion Center Did Not Permit the State Auditor to Access or Audit Databases, Information, Activities

Reading through the Auditor’s Report, it looks like the Commonwealth Fusion Center:

  • Would not provide direct access to its information systems;
  • Would not share certain types of information regarding their activities;
  • Glibly stated they could not provide certain requested information because of state and federal restrictions on sharing threat and criminal intelligence information, including Mass. public records law;
  • Stated occasionally that requested information was not available (what did the State Auditor request I wonder?)
  • Could not help the State Auditor figure out from talking to a few “stakeholders” if the CFC was gathering and sharing information–on terrorism, public safety, and, curiously, “law enforcement”–with its public-private partners usefully;
  • Expressed concern about the confidentiality of the “criminal intelligence” information it dealt with;

CFC Watch Center is Located Inside Police Headquarters

The Audit Report reveals that Fusion Center operations are Police operations: a matter which has not been clear from the outset to most. At inception, the Department of Homeland Security, in its creation of fusion centers, has suggested a Security and Safety angle to all, premised primarily on fear of terrorism, post 9/11. But we learn here that it is State Police which is and has been running the entire “Watch” operation, fielding and disseminating “time-sensitive information on threats and suspicious activities.”

[This obviously brings up that whole question again: Who exactly are Police, in what form are they functioning in our midst? What we know so far: They are private, corporate”Polic-y Officers” working for Corporate Policies; they are Not always functioning as “Law Enforcement” since they do not always know the Law, or act in awareness and obedience to the Law–such as we have it; they Have been functioning as creators of Terror, on roadways, in neighborhoods–they have not behaved Lawfully, and some among them may believe their job is to scare, threaten, intimidate, and act unlawfully against people; curiously, this aspect of US Police has, it appears, become more evident across classes and races only with the advent of Fusion Centers, since 9/11; the history of Police does indeed involve repression, subjugation, riding roughshod over rights, particularly among certain groups, classes, races, ethnicities, personas: the Brown, the Black, the Indigenous, the Outspoken.]

Note that most of us don’t know either that the DHS in itself is a Police (Easy Monopoly on Terror) operation–This revelation on the DHS website will come as a shock to many: “The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is the largest federal law enforcement agency with approximately 80,000 law enforcement officers that carry out the Department’s missions across nine different agencies and offices.”

(Clarifies for me at any rate why we are looking at a Failed State here–Law Enforcers who don’t keep the Law, and 80,000 of them??)

The CFC Has Not Kept Proper Records of Watch Activities and Investigations (Its Prime Function, Supposedly)

The Audit Report’s mention of “classified data” in this report as in “CFC redacted personally identifiable information and other classified data” gives pause: why was personally identifiable information classified and what other classifed data could there be, in the CFC’s Watch Center activities?

(You would think they’d want to note down everything they could about any potential Terrorists they found, quite openly.)

Implication: It’s not Terrorists or Criminals the CFC has been routing. It’s You and Me, instead.

The State Auditor reports further that the CFC simply failed to keep proper records of its Watching activities and investigations and monitoring and sharing of supposedly time-sensitive information (Why on earth not?): ”Because CFC redacted personally identifiable information and other classified data, the data in the log lacked sufficient detail to allow for appropriate analysis of the timeliness of analysis and dissemination of (suspicious-activity reports) SARs. We could not determine who (e.g., federal, state, local, or private-sector entities) originated Watch Center activities, when the activities were assigned, when they were completed, or what were their final outcomes (e.g., CFC issued an alert, assisted in an investigation, or provided requested information).”

In other words, the most important information regarding putting suspicious-seeming people on Watches and opening investigations on them was simply not recorded?

Anyone Can “Report” You–as Indeed Everyone Has | And It’s State Police They’re Reporting You To

It is remarkable though, to learn in print from the Belly of the Beast here that “federal, state, local, or private-sector entities” are the ones originating Watch Center (CFC Police) activities and what these are:–this would trace back to the list of “stakeholders” or public-private partners listed in the Fusion Center Guidelines document–listed below. A wide range of police actions then are being initiated by these “entities”–threat assessments to checking extant police databases.

And the initiators look like informants from any and every field really, including the FBI, EMS-Fire and Ambulance and hospital ER staff, restaurants, banks, schools, utility companies, Government, motels, hotels, IT spies at employers, military bases, post offices, private security guards in stores, realtors, social workers, bus drivers, T and Metro staff.

How did these people become “Stakeholders” in the Auditor’s Report?

Excerpt, Fusion Center Guidelines/DHS

Involving Endless Numbers of Public-Private Entities in Fusion Center POLICE Operations: Communism, not Democracy, not a Republic

The fact that the entire CFC, FC, and DHS operation using fusion centers is more a Stasi and Communist operation than a mere Police operation focused on the nation’s safety becomes apparent in a study of what and who these Stakeholders are: “Functional categories…of entities” comprising “agencies and organizations (which) should be involved in the Center’s operations.” (See the Fusion Center Guidelines document, named as a 2006 production in the State Auditor’s 2019 Report) (Drones above, zoomers on the street, scalar hits all around, neuro sleep hits and pulse RF arm hits as I write in this extra section, 2:30 pm, 2-8-2024).

A section called Stakeholder Surveys–very thinly surveying a smattering of respondents among the Communist Private Sector and Police Sector in Massachusetts who have engaged in Fusion Center Police operations–notes that a majority of these were influenced in making decisions by FC general awareness bulletins and other information: This could mean the alerting system that CFC uses, to, for instance, alert and corrall store managers, other moms, yoga teachers to “watch out for” and actively harass and monitor named parties, Those Targeted, in fact, unlawfully selected for Social Isolation and Continuous Provocation and Pariah’zation:

Suspicious Activity Reports from Multiple Public-Private Informants: CFC and FBI Rush To Hide the Lies

First, Who Are The Suspects?

The Nationwide Suspicious Initiative-NSI-we’re told is a whole Program for paid mercenary operatives all across the USA in our workplaces, schools, stores and post offices to become self-important hounds for Police, imagining they are now Sunshade-Wearing Spies, scouting out possible makers of bombs and planners of demolitions–in actuality merely rushing around in racist fashion, picking on (Brown) school moms smarter than themselves or their wives–and a whole lot of Police parties in the country organized to form this New Era Bureau of Crime: DHS, FBI, State Police, Local Police, Tribal Police, Territorial Police (that last meaning who exactly?)

[Between Local Police and Territorial Police it’s possible we might find City Police, County Police, County Sheriffs–while the Olive-Insignia-Wearing District Court Men and Women in Black and White may be Municipal Police (The Pope’s Own Men-and Women?); I’m surprised this latter hasn’t been included.] (Some kind of helicopter or drone groaning and hovering above, 12:30 pm, 2-8-2024)

School Board Presidents and Treasurers, IT Spies At Work, Rushing To Report Moms, Colleagues to the Police

Moms across America who have been singled out by their own School Boards have then actually been reported to the Police–any of those parties named, the FBI, the local city patrolman, the County Sheriff–for daring to stand up for their children and speak out on matters of health or education, personal health choices, the dangers of vaccines and masks, the wrongfulness of extra babysitting fees during parent-teacher conferences; dads across America have been singled out by IT spies in their own workspots for things said in a private email, or telephone call, or in a store.

Being Brown, Black, Female, Outspoken, Indigenous, Upright, Smart or Smarter than the President of the School Board and the Principal or the Boss (and a whole lot nicer) no doubt brought all the White Supremacism to the fore, especially here, in apparently Over-Educated but Under-Enlightened White Bread Boston and Massachusetts.

Nothing Reviewed, Nothing Analyzed–Yet All CFC (Police) Quickly Shielded by the FBI (Shielding Itself)

Judging from the verbiage in the State Auditor’s Report, it sounds like the SARS that came in–by the boatload probably, since the Paid Informants were probably paid handsomely–were neither analyzed nor reviewed as their supposed protocols required, but were rushed directly to the FBI with false-claim tags of “connection to Terrorism”–or, conversely, not; date of transfer if transfer to FBI and date of closing if closeable were not provided; it is possible all were glibly named potential Terrorists and watchlisted at the Fusion Center itself, then handed off to other Police and Veteran contractors–the ones with the armed pick-ups who race up and down my street and yours, that is–to be DE Weapons-Tested on, interminably, as if in interests of “Public Safety.”  [The Brain/Artificial Intelligence/Other Biomedical and CIA MK-Psycho experimentation I suspect is being done post watchlisting by either FBI or CFC–direct line to the classified Black Opsters waiting like Vultures to feast on the unlawfully-targeted, and quick shuffling into Highly Classified, Over Top Secret banks of data too Clandestine to mention.) “Additionally, the date of transfer to the FBI—or, if a SAR was determined not to have a potential connection to terrorism, the date it was closed and the final outcome—could not be provided.”

Further it appears no data could be found to prove analysis by a “CFC intelligence analyst” or “supervisory review.”

Meanwhile, the FBI (sending a Letter, below) was quickly recruited to demand redaction of names of all CFC police involved in this unsavory non-activity, as well as redaction of much else, i.e., all SAR information entered into the famed e-Guardian (of FBI crimes) now claimed to be “FBI information”: Note that it is Legal Counsel FBI writing to Legal Counsel State Police to make this happen.

Legal Counsel in every Government agency, every Police organization, every Military division have a lot to answer for: it is their misguided, wrongful, and completely unlawful actions in recommending, advising, approving, permitting, authorizing all manner of questionable actions undertaken by these so-called “Authorities” in 20,000 cities across America which has led to the situation we have today, of those targeted being inhumanely persecuted: unfettered Fusion Center, Police, Military, Intelligence, Private-Sector crime.

We Must Focus Further on Fusion Centers To End Police and State Crime

There is much else in these two documents of interest, including information on databases and communications between agencies, which the Brennan Center report also addresses–but which will have to be shelved for now, in interests of Time, to be revisited at a later date.

The 2011-2021 Summary of Findings from the National Network of Fusion Centers Annual Assessments as well are of interest, especially in pointing to the astonishing number of high-level organizations coordinating with DHS to produce these reports, and the relationship of Homeland Security events to Intelligence events and FEMA events, matters to be more closely scrutinized shortly.

Some screenshots and two of the recent Assessment Summary of Findings is posted below. More has been unearthed in this first cursory examination of new and recent Fusion Center documents posted online, and will be shared soon.

New Open the Government Report Finds DHS Fusion Centers Violate Privacy & Civil Liberties, Resist Public Accountability, and Produce Useless Information

Ramola D | RAE (Report, Analysis, Op-Ed) | May 13, 2020

Images: Open the Government website

DHS Fusion Centers installed post 2001 in the wake of 9/11 with counter-terrorism aims in mind have failed the country absymally, it appears, according to a new aptly-titled report released in late March, 2020—just before all the COVID-19 Lockdowns hit & froze out this article too–from Open The Government The Cost of Fear: Long-Cited Abuses Persist at U.S. Government-Funded Post -9/11 Fusion Centers” after a 6-month investigation of “freedom of information requests, court documents, grant records, interviews, and news reports.”

Not merely do the 80 fusion centers, created by state and major urban governments across the United States, “exhibit a persistent pattern of violating Americans’ privacy and civil liberties, producing unreliable and ineffective information, and resisting financial and other types of standard public accountability,” they have failed to follow the recommendations for reporting and accountability laid out by a 2012 investigation conducted by the US. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations.

2012 Senate SubCommittee Investigation Had Earlier Determined Fusion Centers Produced Irrelevant Intelligence & DHS Had Lied to the Public about Fusion Center Successes

2012 Article, Foreign Policy

That 2012 Congressional investigation had already determined that little intelligence of counterterrorism use was obtained from the then-70 fusion centers, that secrecy and rejection of oversight had marked attempts to analyze fusion-center intelligence efforts, which were of “uneven quality” and often endangered civil liberties and Privacy Act protections, and that “DHS did not effectively monitor how federal funds provided to state and local fusion centers were used to strengthen federal counter-terrorism efforts.” DHS had then broadly estimated public funds between $289 million to $1.4 billion had been used from 2003 on, but could not provide adequate accountability for how these funds were spent in counter-terrorism.

“The investigation revealed staggering deficiencies, rampant secrecy, and violations of civil liberties. The subcommittee concluded that, in the decade following 9/11, fusion centers had failed to meet the objectives of their core mission of identifying terrorist plots and preventing acts of terrorism.

“The Subcommittee investigation found that the fusion centers often produced irrelevant, useless or inappropriate intelligence reporting to DHS, and many produced no intelligence reporting whatsoever.”

The report further found that DHS had lied to the public about fusion centers’ successes and, despite internal reviews that found serious flaws, had neglected to share information about such problems with Congress. Above all, the subcommittee concluded that fusion centers simply weren’t effective counterterrorism tools, recommended an overhaul of the program and called for Congress to “revisit the statutory basis for DHS support of fusion centers.”

Background, The Cost of Fear…

Opacity in Reportage: Fusion Centers Do Not Provide Clear Program Descriptions

That was in 2012.

Now in 2020, The Cost of Fear reports that while DHS’s FEMA has allocated $1.14 billion via grant programs and President Trump has signed H.R. 504, the “DHS Field Engagement Accountability Act,” a 5-year plan to continue fusion center engagement with federal efforts, and clearly the scope of programs conducted by fusion centers has expanded—into disaster preparedness and public safety, with increased use of advanced, privacy-invasive technologies like facial recognition—Open the Government has found that fusion centers do not maintain clear, descriptive records of counter-terrorism programs funded either federally or through state means.

Curiously, in one case, close scrutiny of Illinois state funds to fusion centers revealed that neither the granting agency nor the receiving agency maintained descriptive program records:

“Open The Government used Illinois’s Freedom of Information Act to obtain years of grant records from the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA), a state-level agency similar to FEMA that disburses federal dollars to programs in the state, including fusion centers. But records of such transfers to local entities over five years showed that all basic description fields were blank. In addition, the local agencies receiving the funds also are not required to provide detailed descriptions.”

Fusion Centers in 2020 | Waste and Opaque Funding, The Cost of Fear

This does raise the question: what exactly were these funds transferred for, and what were they used for?

Were they perhaps used for unConstitutional and extrajudicial privacy-invasive, high-technology-using targeting, surveillance, and monitoring activities, as thousands of Americans have been reporting for two decades now, and as covered here earlier?

Privacy-Intrusions, Civil Rights Violations: Fusion Centers Monitor & Share Info on First-Amendment-Protected Activities

Image: How Fusion Centers are Violating Our Rights, From The Trenches World Report

Emails, news reports, and court records obtained and examined by Open the Government reveal that certain Chicago plans for First-Amendment-protected protests and rallies, non-violent and legal, calling for the abolition of ICE, a DHS agency, were monitored on social media and email; that demonstrators at a protest rally in Memphis were pre-tracked on social media by Chicago Police for “chatter” after a police shooting, curiously, on a State Department intelligence directive, plans for a rally then quickly forwarded to DHS, New York. This covert tracking apparently went on for three months, before legal counsel was queried for advice.

The creation of inter-agency sharing by fusion centers, it turns out, was not marked by caution and vigilance; the Tennessee Fusion Center for instance was quick to share public social-media-monitored information with police departments, Tennessee DHS and FBI units citing, in July 2016, “credible threats to law enforcement” which they were obliged to note were non-specific in nature.

Were these “credible threats” in reality the mere expression of free speech, a Constitutionally-protected right—and not really “credible threats” at all? Were they taken out of context–and therefore being mis-attributed? Were they wrongfully used to “tar everyone with the same brush”?

Is no-one permitted to speak openly on social media of such things as police misbehavior/crime/brutality anymore—without being marked a threat?

“Yet the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Brandenburg v. Ohio that speech that has no nexus to an immediate threat to commit violence is protected by the First Amendment.”

Privacy and Civil Liberties Concerns, Case Study: Tennessee Fusion Center, The Cost of Fear…

Journalists too have been unduly scrutinized and worse. Manuel Duran, a Memphis journalist was arrested alongside protesters and placed in ICE deportation proceedings, compelled into 15 months of detention, although charges against him were dropped. In Boston, Dan Feidt, a writer for Unicorn Riot, who had covered the so-called “straight pride” parade in Boston in 2019, was visited by Boston police and FBI who began pumping him regarding upcoming protests, which Feidt interpreted as gathering intelligence and halted by refusing to engage. He reported that the detectives who visited him had repeated “they were primarily concerned about “keeping everyone safe,”

““Unaccountable joint police forces like the JTTF have a long history of involving themselves in political activity that has nothing to do with terrorism,” Feidt told OTG. “This is a substantial risk to the freedom of expression and the press, and is likely to create chilling effect that is far disproportionate to their core mission.”

Privacy and Civil Liberties Concerns, Case Study: Boston Regional Intelligence Center, The Cost of Fear…

Essentially, both in Memphis and in Boston, police and fusion centers had been tracking activists in person and online, monitoring their plans and activities, sharing information gleaned presumably from surveilling desktops and iPads and iPhones, with FBI and DHS—all of it unConstitutional, given that freedom of speech and freedom to assemble, rally, and protest are all First-Amendment rights.

Controversial Technologies & Questionable Intelligence

Fusion Centers (like Police Departments) Use Invasive Facial Recognition & Other Surveillance Tech While Collecting Unreliable Intelligence

Invasive monitoring has been aided in the past two decades by a plethora of controversial surveillance technologies including facial recognition, license-plate reading, and other more exotic surveillance technologies, several covered here in this report on another FOIA-released DARPA-DOJ report, The Limited Effects Technology Program report, which reveals, shockingly, that (among other tech) millimeter-wave sensors, infra-red sensors, and acoustic weapons are being tested under joint Defense & Justice programs on the public.

Excerpt, The Limited Effects Technology Program Report

(A large subject which needs further scrutiny and reportage.)

Open the Government reveals that documents they received on FOIA request and released recently to The New York Times disclosed the involvement of the tech company Clearview AI in unethically harvesting the images of thousands of social media users without their permission and making these available to fusion centers, which are rapidly making use of facial recognition tech, as also are hundreds of police departments, DHS, ICE, Border Patrol, and other federal agencies, also revealed by FOIA request and reported in Buzzfeed News, which reports May 7, 2020 that Clearview AI is currently cancelling its relationships with private companies in midst of heightened scrutiny and potential lawsuits.

Such technologies have however made it possible for JTTF at the FBI and police departments to monitor by stealth, and keep monitoring, despite exposure.

BRIC, the Boston Regional Information Center, was critiqued in 2015 by ACLU for “Policing Dissent” unlawfully, using a social media monitoring tool, Geofeedia, to monitor religious groups, protesters, keywords, and hashtags such as #MuslimLivesMatter and #BlackLivesMatter, even after public backlash forced Boston police to drop overt pursuit of social media monitoring tech in 2014. The monitoring of First Amendment-protected activities by BRIC was found by Open the Government “to be a constant and persistent issue.”

Chicago police were found to be using facial recognition tech minus any kind of local council oversight, with no privacy policy in place even as they blithely made use of the extensive 22,000-unit CCTV network around the city.

SARs (Suspicious Activity Reports) filled out at the Chicago fusion center were found to be race-based, unreliable, and unlawful in their targeting of citizens guilty of no crime; DHS and FBI therefore received faulty reports on citizens from them.

“Open The Government obtained a series of reports from the Crime Prevention and Information Center (CPIC), the local Chicago-area fusion center, that were prepared under DHS’s Suspicious Activity Reporting (SAR) process, better known as the “If You See Something, Say Something” campaign. OTG found numerous cases of SARs filled out on suspicious males based in part on their ethnic origin. All of the alerts were determined by the fusion center to be unreliable but nonetheless forwarded to DHS and the FBI. Cancellation of the SARs happened after analysts had already collected information on potential U.S. citizens without any evidence of a crime.”

Collection of Unreliable Data Continues, case Study: Crime Prevention and Information Center (CPIC), The Cost of Fear…

Recommendations to Congress and Homeland Security

Among the recommendations the report makes to Congress are suggestions to monitor the activities of fusion centers to see if they met the earlier recommendations, to see if actionable and accurate sharing of information is evident, to physically review DHS records—rather than their obfuscating statements—to see whether terrorist plots have been identified and averted, to audit the acquisition of surveillance technologies such as facial recognition and social media monitoring, and to predicate any further funding on compliance with civil rights and liberties and federal law.

The report makes recommendations to DHS as well, advising them to be more responsive to Congressional oversight requests, strengthen oversight by the Office of Civil Rights and Liberties, halt First-Amendment-protected monitoring, and audit the SARS program.

Report Recommendations Could Be More Pointed and Forceful: Fusion Centers Have Failed Us Abysmally

While this is a much-needed and most useful report, putting into language via investigation much that many observers can see already of the failure of fusion centers in the USA, these appear to be uniformly weighted recommendations, somewhat reticent in their tone, which, given their discoveries, could certainly have been a lot more pointed and forceful.

Judging from what’s been reported here, Fusion Centers have failed abysmally:

They don’t keep proper records or document program descriptions: Meaning, they’re hiding something.

They spy on social media and report free speech there as “credible threats”: Meaning, they’re attacking freedom of speech.

They steal images from social media: Meaning, they’re ignoring privacy protections and laws.

They spy on and harass journalists for info on protests: Meaning, they’re attacking freedom of press and privacy.

They are not “foiling terrorist plots” as they (say they) set out to do after 9/11, they’re obsessively fixating on free speech and freedom to assemble. Meaning: They are targeting activists, media, journalists, community leaders.

They are using highly invasive surveillance technology, some of which is widely publicly known and some not: Meaning, they’re ignoring citizen rights to privacy and to be informed.

They use SARs in a racially-inflected and other-inflected way: Meaning, innocent citizens are frequently wrongfully targeted, watchlisted, and permanently recorded (as criminals: putative criminals, suspected criminals, under-investigation criminals, or, as ACLU reported in April, 2016 (Trapped In A Black Box: Growing Terrorism Watchlisting In Everyday Policing), “non-investigative persons”–who can apparently be covertly experimented on, with deadly LET Program weapons, neuroweapons, and other “non-lethals” while being disappeared in media as mentally-ill “Targeted Individuals”) in DHS and FBI files.

Aren’t these crimes? I mean, just MAJOR crimes?

What is not being said here in this OTG report, of course, is even more deadly than what is being said. Thousands of people have come forward over the past 20 years to report pernicious use of EMF and acoustic neuroweapons on their person, unlawful targeting, offensive community-monitoring by neighbors and malicious character-assassination in their neighborhoods, in conjunction with blacklisting for jobs, cyber-hacking, and frequent vandalism and break-ins at their property—which no amount of reporting to police or FBI is able to stop.

This perhaps accounts for all those records not filled in by the Illinois Fusion Center, as public-private partnerships via fusion centers conceal AI-run slow-kill and remote-human-access neuro/bio experimentation and EMF weapons-testing contracts—as reported here to President Trump last summer—and will perhaps be openly addressed by OTG in their next report.

A pertinent question to ask at this point indeed is: Why is OTG–like the ACLU, like EFF, like Defending Rights and Dissent, like many other prominent civil rights and liberties groups–ignoring the testimonials of thousands of American citizens on this matter–when what they are reporting represents the acme of Fusion Center and FISA Surveillance Overreach and Abuse crimes?

By all counts, fusion centers have failed us abysmally, have overreached into unlawful dragnetting and snooping, have targeted and still target citizens wrongfully and extremely, and should be dissolved.

CoronaVirus/COVID-19 Lockdowns To Hide DHS/FBI/Police Crimes, Failures, Attacks on Citizens?

Now of course, with COVID-Mania, the Gestapo activities of fusion centers and law enforcement departments have been stepped up to the point of absurdity – all this to hide the facts of their uselessness, invasiveness, and illegality, as described in this OTG report?

Image: The Scoop article on California Police Officers standing down after marine vet speaks to them

As FISA and DHS activities both come under scrutiny this year, it is time for citizens to put an end to the excesses of fusion centers and demand a roll back of the extreme surveillance technology and monitoring activities being indulged in by fusion centers as they wrongfully target the populace and keep getting paid for it.

The natural, God-given, civil and human rights and liberties of citizens must be honored at all times.

Not the needs of power-hungry bureaucrats to test unlawfully invasive technology on the people, in guise of “counter terrorism” or “public safety,” and newly and deceptively, “public health.”

The whole concept of America “land of the free, home of the brave” hangs in the balance.
