Paranoia of the Deep State against the people in the USA is growing --- case in point: American generals and admirals are now very much on guard for any negative comments..... It bugs them so much that they are prepared to look at everything that you might do or say about them or anything else

So  ---  is the U.S. military actively spying on citizens here in the United States to see if they have any criticisms or negative thoughts about the senior military personnel and/or what they are doing ???    

***** MORE IMPORTANT  ---  ARE THEY GEARING UP TO SPY ON EVERYBODY FOR EVERYTHING ELSE *****

Is there more domestic spying being done, because
some generals and admirals, and Biden's
Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin
don't like being criticized

Why aren't MSNBC, CNN and Fox News*** reporting on this ???

The U.S. military seems to have something called the "Protective Services Battalion" (PSB), which is the Department of Defense equivalent of the civilian Secret Service to protect the military higher-ups.  ---  And now that DOD (military [it's part of the Army] not civilian) PSB is monitoring social media to see if anyone is posting negative comments about the country’s highest-ranking military commanders.

What are these guys afraid of  >>>  an outbreak of "fragging" at the Pentagon ???  

Or is this just another manifestation of the metastatic growth of a particular Deep State malignancy into another govermental institution

In any case, all of this kind of stuff going on at the Pentagon shows how our tax dollars are being spent in President Biden's and Sec/Def Lloyd Austin's Department of Defence  >>>  ie., paying for military monitors to look at your social media for any critical or mean posts about the higher paid civilians in the DOD, and the generals and admirals still nominally on "active duty"  >>>  while all of them try to "woke-up" the U.S. armed services  ---  instead of really protecting the USA against the clear and present enemies and other dangers existing and arising around the world beyond our borders, and penetrating our borders as we type these words.

This is from  a recent PSB procurement document for the Protective Services Field Office/Protective Intelligence Branch  (PSIFO/PIB)   >>>  “....  requirement to provide global protective services for senior Department of Defense (DoD) officials, adequate security in order to mitigate online threats (direct, indirect, and veiled), the identification of fraudulent accounts and positive or negative sentiment relating specifically to our senior high-risk personnel.”  The report goes on to say that the Pentagon intends not just to monitor platforms for “negative sentiment,” but also to pinpoint the location(s) of those social media platforms. 

As things now stand, The DOD's/ PSB's plans to go far beyond mere social media surveillance of the type offered by private contractor security/ computer firms, such as DATAMINR, which is currently being used by both the civilian police and the military to help detect perceived threats by "scraping social media timelines" and combing chatrooms for a variety of keywords.  However going forward, DOD's Protective Services Battalion (organizationally still part of the U.S. Army) would have its investigators  employ other programs to combine the social media surveillance data with a broad variety of other public and nonpublic information, all accessible through an integrated universal search selector.  These other  sources of information would include what the PSB categorizes as “signal-rich discussions from illicit threat-actor communities and access to around-the-clock conversations within threat-actor channels,” public research, CCTV feeds, radio stations, news outlets, personal records, hacked information, webcams, and — perhaps most invasive — cellular location data.....

NOW  ---  NONE OF THAT WOULD RING ANY ALARM BELLS FOR THE REST OF US !!! 

 
OR SHOULD IT ???
