Why Fusion Centers?

Broad hint about content...

No matter what we talk about - hiding tax money spent, railroading Common Core standards, or setting up fusion centers - the federal government is meddling in Craven County. We need elected representatives at all levels of government (local, state, & federal) who will resist federal intrusion. Filing for elected offices is in progress and will remain open until noon on February 28^th.

North Carolina Fusion Center – A Global Approach To A State Response

NC RENEGADE

May 20, 2013

From the Department of Homeland Security:


State and major urban area fusion centers (fusion centers) are owned and operated by state and local entities, and are designated by the governor of their state. In accordance with the Federal Resource Allocation Criteria (RAC) policy, which defines objective criteria and a coordinated approach for prioritizing the allocation of federal resources to fusion centers, the federal government recognizes these designations and has a shared responsibility with state and local governments to support the national network of fusion centers.

The following includes the list of primary and recognized fusion centers (associated contact information). Primary fusion centers serve as the focal points within the state and local environment for the receipt, analysis, gathering, and sharing of threat-related information and have additional responsibilities related to the coordination of critical operational capabilities across the statewide fusion process with other recognized fusion centers. Furthermore, primary centers are the highest priority for the allocation of available federal resources, including the deployment of personnel and connectivity with federal data systems.

The North Carolina Information Sharing and Analysis Center (ISAAC) in Raleigh is our Fusion Center.

How to Report Terrorism in North Carolina:   The public is our first line of defense in keeping North Carolina safe. You can help by reporting suspicious persons, objects, or behaviors.

Community safety can be jeopardized by terrorist attacks, gangs, identity theft, drug activity, or attacks on public services and utilities,

Take an active role in community safety. Be aware of suspicious packages. If you do not recognize the return address or have other questions, contact the SBI or local law enforcement.

Terrorists and criminals often display similar characteristics, such as being overly dedicated to a cause and willing to give their lives for it, and unaffected by the consequences of their actions.

I would like to repeat the last sentence from our North Carolina DHS Fusion Center:

Terrorists and criminals often display similar characteristics, such as being overly dedicated to a cause and willing to give their lives for it, and unaffected by the consequences of their actions.

Now let’s review the closing statement from the Declaration of Independence:   PLEASE CONTINUE READING:  http://ncrenegade.com/editorial/north-carolina-fusion-center-a-global-approach-to-a-state-response/

Neighborhood Snitches and Fusion Centers

Across the USA, a new program of neighborhood spying is being implemented. Take Los Angeles. The LAPD has something called Special Order 1 (SO 1). SO 1 enables LAPD officers to file Suspicious Activity Reports on observed behaviors or activities. Where things get murky, however, is how SAR guidelines categorize constitutionally protected, non-criminal and common place activities such as using binoculars, snapping photographs and taking notes as indicators of terrorism-related activity. The SARs are coupled with the LAPD’s iWatch program, a campaign the police pioneered to encourage regular citizens to report “suspicious” activity, including “a person wearing clothes that are too big or too hot for the weather,” or things that just plain old don’t “look right.”


Far from being merely a local phenomenon, the standardized program that the LAPD developed in 2008 served as the lead model for a National Suspicious Activity Reporting Initiative. “Success” stories from the LAPD’s program are used in national training material, and the LAPD touts it as “the first program in the U.S. to create a national standard” for terrorism-related procedures.

According to the Information Sharing Environment, the nationwide SAR initiative “establishes a standardized process whereby SAR information can be shared among agencies to help detect and prevent terrorism-related criminal activity.” Personal data that is collected on these individuals is treated as criminal intelligence. The rapidly expanding and dangerously intrusive network houses personal data on thousands of Americans.

Then there are fusion centers. There are 72 of these data-collection centers across the USA.  (Including New Bern, NC)

Fusion Centers: Collecting Data on You at the Mall

You may not have heard of fusion centers. They are secretive. There is a reason for this secrecy. They are part of a system of federal spying that is used against American citizens. While a mystery to most Americans, the existence of Fusion centers recently made waves when they were brought to the mainstream public’s attention by talk show host Alex Jones and former governor of Minnesota Jesse Ventura. As we highlighted in everything you do is monitored, fusion centers are the digital backbone of the modern day domestic spying network and make it possible to track, itemize, aggregate and analyze the personal activities of every American. This system is being extended to local shopping malls.
