ASPEN INSTITUTE ANNOUNCES TOTAL FEDERALIZATION OF POLICE UNDER NEW HOMELAND SECURITY MISSION
A new white paper presented to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence carves out an ‘evolving mission’ for Homeland Security that moves away from fighting terrorism and towards growing a vast domestic intelligence apparatus that would expand integration with local/state agencies and private-public partnerships already underway via regional fusion centers. Crafted by the ASPEN HOMELAND SECURITY GROUP, co-chaired by former DHS chief Michael Chertoff (he now works for Rapiscan Corp. promoting and lobbying the use of cancer causing scanners everywhere) and composed of a who’s who of national security figures, the report outlines total mission creep. In short, it confirms the intentions of key insiders– including former NSA/CIA head Michael Hayden, former Rep. Jane Harmon, former Secretary of State Madeline Albright, 9/11 Commissioners Philip Zelikow and Richard Ben-Viniste, former National Security Advisor Samuel Berger and others– to flesh out a plan we have already seen developing from an outside perspective– namely, to build a domestic Stasi-like force to takeover, monitor and control the population. The “national security experts” who’ve brought us naked body scanners, checkpoints on highways, streets, airports, bus and train stations, and who have projected the homegrown terror threat into private hotels, shopping malls and sports stadiums, are again expanding the bureaucratic growth of tyranny by infiltrating areas traditionally spared from federal intrusion. The bloated DHS aims to lean on its ties with the hospitality (hotel), security and transportation industries, among others, as well. Already, Homeland Security conducts background checks on many security guards working with ‘critical infrastructure,’ and clearly, it aims to expand the use of quasi-government groups like InfraGard and other private snitch networks. Ultimately, all employment would be subject to federal background checks and security clearances.
Private interests should even shape Homeland Security priorities, according to the report: "different private sectors in the United States, from the hospitality industry to transportation, should drive requirements for DHS."The Aspen Institute is largely funded by the Rockefeller's and the Ford Foundation.READ ENTIRE ARTICLE
