So yeah. #Biden and crew did NOTHING to stop #FusionCenters and other policies that #Trump is now using and abusing! And no thanks to #Obama for helping to expand presidential powers like #IndefiniteDetentionClause!

US police agencies took intelligence directly from #IDF, leaked files show
Analysis of #BlueLeaks trove also shows police received training on domestic ‘Muslim extremists’ from pro-Israel groups
by Jason Wilson
Fri 8 Dec 2023"Hacked police files show US law enforcement agencies for decades received analysis of incidents in the Israel-Palestine conflict directly from the Israeli Defense Forces and Israeli thinktanks, training on domestic 'Muslim extremists' from pro-Israel non-profits, and surveilled social media accounts of #ProPalestine #activists in the US.
"The Guardian’s analysis of documents from the BlueLeaks trove of internal law enforcement documents found no indication that this was balanced by information from other Middle Eastern sources or US Muslim community groups. Nor is there any indication that pro-Israel activists were subject to any specific scrutiny.
"At a time of polarized reactions to the Israel-Hamas war in #Gaza, the analysis raises questions about the scope of police intelligence-gathering in the US and the influence of Israel and its supporters on those efforts, and how this has shaped the treatment of activists and social movements, especially those who are pro-Palestinian.[...]
"The BlueLeaks trove was obtained and released by self-described hacktivists in June 2020. It contains material from more than 200 law enforcement agencies, including intelligence material disseminated by federally sponsored umbrella bodies such as fusion centers and high-intensity drug-trafficking area (#Hidta) programs."
