Veterans Today is reporting that  “Covert surveillance units (have been)  deployed against vets protesting ‘land grab’ (and that) vet organization officials (are) watched as ‘terrorists.’)”

According to staff writer Gordon Duff, “… veterans, including regional commanders of The Military Order of the Purple Heart, the American Legion and disabled veterans from World War II, Korea and Vietnam are being filmed and followed in California by “secret police” in covert vans and…  agents dressed up as grounds keepers.

“Reports came in to Veterans Today News Network that the quiet and peaceful protests of VA and ‘politico’ attempts to seize Veteran land were met with a heavy handed police confrontation and followed with ‘semi-covert’ surveillance, including audio, video and, in all probability, FISA terrorist warrants to wiretap aging disabled heroes.

“Taking surveillance teams and equipment from Homeland Security and the NSA and using them illegally to spy on peaceful veteran protestors is a fraudulent misuse of government funds. Simply put, the VA police do not have authority to conduct covert operations against veterans.

“To: General Shensiki and Attorney General Holder:  ‘Please stop these abuses by Bush holdovers who are clearly ‘out of control.’
“We are waiting for reports from news sources at the scene that contacted us today about this problem.  The veterans groups were extremely upset as were the veterans who stumbled on the ‘Barney Fife’ spy teams deployed against the California veterans.

“Misallocation of counter-terrorism resources, meant to protect the people of the United States and using them against veterans is an abomination.  The now famous, LA ‘Veterans Land Grab’ intended to turn veteran land into playgrounds for billionaires is uniting veterans from every political spectrum around the country.

“This illegal escalation against the California veterans is only the most recent outrage in a long series.  We stand united with our heroic brothers and ask that our elected representatives prevent the further misuse of our intelligence services against our most dedicated and patriotic citizens.”
