“Operation Puppet Master” because these clowns don’t think organic protests are possible, that sympathizing with immigrants is possible, that violence on American streets perpetrated by the government is a big deal and some rich democrat must be funding the protests. Fucking morons.

"The presidential private army was cute when Obama used it."

I hear "Keyhole" in any relation to government and I immediately think of this.... www.ultidefense.com/kh-11-keyhol...

I bet the pervert rapist Trump came up with Operation Keyhole. Ugh 🤮🤮🤮

Elon had access to our most sensitive information for 6 months while he was developing Grok. Big Brother was installed at that time.

Could voter registration data be the final piece of the puzzle?

Just like during Watergate....government agencies were doing wildly illegal things including the CIA and Dept of Justice.

I mean…

We are in a police, total surveillance authoritarian country now. Everything is logged and traced. Congratulations to anyone who voted for the Orange Felon. You will get what you voted for. And much much more.

The colossal idiocy with which this administration names things, especially classified operations, is a gift to all the prosecuting attorneys who will be incredibly busy in 2028.

Today's code names for operations tend to be grandiose or too revealing. They used to be genteel and misleading — they're code names after all. I'm thinking of such classics as Operations Market Garden, Torch, Paperclip, Chastise, Dragoon, Mincemeat, and of course Overlord.

The best part of being in a shadowy governmental cabal has got to be coming up with cool sounding names for your wildly illegal operations. There's got be meetings in Outlook calendars where they brainstorm that, and I think that's great

I’ve just gotten to the point where I totally expect that every word out of my mouth, even when spoken to my dog in the privacy of my home, is being listened to by someone, or at least recorded. Personally? I don’t give fuck if anyone hears me, but the sense of invasion is creepy.

These operation names scream 1960's Batman and Robin awaiting their doom, trapped in a giant teacup while an enormous percolator heats up sulfuric acid to dissolve them.

i.e. when people used to look through a keyhole and spy on each other.

"a number of these undercover operations were even conducted in churches where protesters had organized" Something tells me that if Biden spied on churches, we would still be hearing about it on Fox News.

This makes me feel nostalgic for the good ol' days of my childhood when J. Edgar Hoover was tapping every activist's phone and I witnessed my mom's workplace being raided by the FBI looking for domestic terrorists. Things were so much better then!

The key to Trump's keyhole?

Epic Fury......oops

Father always told me, If you’re not doing anything wrong, then there’s nothing to worry about.

Gestapo vibes.

Operation Asshole.

The attempt at coercion sounds a lot like things the FBI did to muslims during Bush II and afterward, offering to set them up with weapons to carry out terrorist attacks that the individuals would probably not have attempted on their own.

We have been declared the Enemy. We are the Radical Left Wing Lunatics. We are surprised because we thought we were mild-mannered thinkers reacting to a very public display of cruelty and fascism in an atmosphere of the right to freedom of speech. And there’s a huge compliance machinery looming.

that's what they were always for

Anyone who’s been paying attention is not surprised. Trump is a weak, insecure, inadequate man who holds, arguably, the most powerful position on the planet. And, like most weak, insecure, inadequate people, he’s desperate to make sure no one can surpass him…or take steps to unseat him 😏

I would not be surprised! Sounds like Nazi Germany!

One agent seemingly attempted entice violence from a group that believes in non-violence. Surely, those "Puppet Master" agents cannot fathom the existence of all the good non-violent people who actually volunteer to help people here, and even volunteer aid to populations outside of the U.S.

Spinal Tap vibes

Americans need to stop defaulting to giving away their data, location, etc. The mass surveillance system is being assembled rapidly.

COINTELPRO

Remember, he said he was going to pontificate further about 'flock cameras in a couple weeks. I'm on the edge of my seat. couple weeks = 2 weeks

That is the essence of the problem with Big Data and all security surveillance operations in the modern era - the technology is currently making it possible to spy on everybody, everywhere, all the time

Every authoritarian and authoritarian wannabe does this - because they are weak and insecure and try to project power by getting people to police themselves because Big brother may be watching at any moment

Good article. But the headline is misinformation: Much of the activity described has little to do with Trump, & everything to do with the people around him, the Conservative think tanks who provide his agenda, & the donor networks that fund the GOP.

It’s really Operation Manufacture Evidence: HSI spying on local left-leaning group meetings. Like, at churches and stuff. “…there wasn’t actual criminal activity to be investigated. They had to invent it. That’s not how this is supposed to work—not in this country, anyway.”
