USPS admits it IS spying on Americans: Law enforcement arm is snooping on social media posts and ‘working with other agencies’ in covert operation – but won’t reveal details

The U.S. Postal Service admitted during a Wednesday meeting to spying on citizens with its law enforcement arm, claiming it worked with other agencies to track Americans’ social media posts.

Chief Postal Inspector Gary Barksdale briefed lawmakers on the Oversight Committee regarding the program known as iCOP, or Internet Covert Operations Program, but could not provide a date for when it was initiated.

‘The Chief Postal Inspector was wildly unprepared for this briefing,’ GOP Representative Nancy Mace of South Carolina told DailyMail.com following the meeting with Barksdale.

The inspector was called for a briefing after iCOP was first made public in a report last week.

Yahoo obtained and published documents related to iCOP, which includes an operation where analysts page through social media sites to look for ‘inflammatory’ posts, including messages about planned protests.

  1. Maybe if they concentrated on DELIVERING THE MAIL instead of being part of the Nazi regime and their pervasive surveillance of EVERYONE, we could count on mailing our bills and getting them delivered in 3-4 days.
    NOW, it’s 3 weeks. Maybe.
    The NSA, the FBI, all police organizations, the DIA, Google, Amazon, Twitter, SnapChat, etc, DON’T watch us (and report/record everything enough? We need the f’ing post office putting the coup de grace on “WE, the People” now?

    They should be ashamed.
    They aren’t.

    Hang them, too.
    Slowly. Up and down a few times before we stick with “up”.
