Secret Aerial FBI Program Uncovered By 23-Year-Old independent citizien Journalist
   
The story was first reported by Sam Richards who put out information under the twitter handle @MinneapoliSam. The 23-year-old independent journalist first published the story of the FBI surveillance program on the website Medium on May 26.

His story featured screen grabs from FlightRadar24.com showing the circular routes the low-flying planes took over not just Minneapolis, but cities including New York, Chicago, Seattle, Phoenix and Dallas.

Richards said his investigation began when his friend noticed the low-flying suspicious flight and showed him the screen grab.

“It showed pictures of the plane doing loops around different parts of Minneapolis so we started looking at the tail number,” he said.
The plane was registered to a fake company, but Richards was able to track it to a fleet registered to the Department of Justice in Virginia.

After his article was posted, a local aviation buff sent him pictures he took of what he believed was the surveillance plane. An antennae appears to be attached to the plane’s bottom.

2. Within the last year

I have started noticing low flying millary helicopters circling my area, almost appearing to be on patrol. This is new, it never used to occur.

So when adults were in charge you never saw this?  Now ... there seems to be a disconnect.

4. Tangentially connected --

Remember when it was being proposed that journalists be credentialed by the government to afford them protection from government prosecution? I'm sure it wasn't that long ago, perhaps 2013 at the latest.

So many here -- too many here -- defended the notion.

I couldn't help but think of that as I read, "uncovered by...independent citizen journalist"


2013 huh?  I can't remember who was president of our nation then ... can someone help me?

8. At least 5 shell companies found nationally so far

Why shell companies? 


New thread.  It might get interesting.

Just more of that 'Most transparent Administration ever.'  They just omitted to say that what they wanted to be transparent was everyone's walls and personal lives.

For a second I thought it was going to be cousin nadin.
Maybe it's a graduate of the cousin nadin school of journalism.
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.
