FBI BEHIND MYSTERIOUS SURVEILLANCE AIRCRAFT OVER U.S. CITIES


WASHINGTON (AP) -- Scores of low-flying planes circling American cities are part of a civilian air force operated by the FBI and obscured behind fictitious companies, the Associated Press has learned.

The AP traced at least 50 aircraft back to the FBI, and identified more than 100 flights in 11 states over a 30-day period  since late April, orbiting both major cities and rural areas.

At least 115 planes, including 90 Cessna aircraft, were mentioned in a federal budget document from 2009.

For decades. the planes have provided support to FBI intelligence operations on the ground.
But now the aircraft are equipped with high-tech cameras, and in rare instances, technology capable of tracking thousands of cellphones, raising questions about how these surveillance flights affect Americans' privacy.

The FBI says the planes are not equipped or used for bulk collection activities or used for mass surveillance.
The surveillance equipment is used for ongoing investigations, the FBI says, generally without a judge's approval.

The FBI confirmed for the first time the wide-scale use of the aircraft, which the AP traced to at least 13 fake companies, such as FVX Research, NBR Aviation, and PXW Services.

The front companies are used to protect the safety of the pilots, the agency said.
That setup also shields the identity of the aircraft so that suspects on the ground don't know they're being followed.

NOTE:
One of the COINTELPRO "psy-ops torture techniques" to harass and terrify "targeted individuals" (TIs) is the use of aircraft, both fixed-wing and helicopters, on a daily basis.
There seems to be unlimited money and resources at their disposal for this type of stalking and harassment.
These aircraft are often used as part of "noise campaigns" to keep the TIs from getting enough sleep.
If a low-flying, fixed-wing aircraft buzzes a target's house at 5:45 A.M., there's a good chance that the target will be awakened.

Sleep deprivation is torture, pure and simple, and these flying gang stalkers are using proven "no-touch" torture techniques against their innocent victims.

How long will the FBI and other governmental agencies be able to get away with these sinister and illegal techniques of torture against innocent Americans?
