      Ok, so let's talk about this Politico report claiming the DHS is warning of increased antifa attacks.

      The Charlottesville article is so poorly fact-checked that it gets easily verifiable dates wrong. But that's not all.

      It claims the report was from the Department of Homeland Security Office of Intelligence and Analysis, sourced from the Virginia Fusion Ctr.

      Basically, these are information-exchange partnerships to pass info between federal, state, and local authorities. That's it.

          The have no investigative authority. And they don't appear well-funded or well-equipped. VA's receives about a million in grants yearly.

          So that "intelligence report" provided to the city is likely nothing more than info already published in the newspaper and not much else.

          What it looks like to me is local authorities trying to legitimize a nothingburger by funneling it through an agency that can DHS stamp it.

          Fusion centers appear to have no authority to classify people or groups as "domestic extremists." It's simply IC speak to make things scary.

          That report probably came from VFC Division 3, which is funded by about $150k/yr in grants. Not really CIA shit here.

          Trying to find operating budget from non-DHS sources for the Virginia Fusion Center. Looks to be ~$10m/annually as a guess.

          Fusion centers are not, uh, very useful nor do they represent the will of the DHS. https://www.google.is/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://publicsurveillance.com/papers/FC-Regan_Monahan_Publius.pdf&ved=0ahUKEwjw_Ny4lIfWAhVEUlAKHUIhAeQ4ChAWCDQwAw&usg=AFQjCNE5RzHHWEG0vzsduHoYEUqJqILOew …pic.twitter.com/12rR2nP43y

          In summary, I agree with a lot of what you say but felt need to share why fusion centers exist, what their use is and why it's so essential.

          Fusion Centers are hubs for that info which have been able to prevent a large number of attacks. They are essential.

          Diff agencies had 9/11 puzzle pieces re: pilots etc but they were never shared in a way that would put them together in order to prevent it

          Before 9/11 info sharing between agencies, esp. city, county, state and federal was random at best, one reason why 9/11 occurred.

          You are correct about their ability to classify, and their lack of funding, but not about their usefulness.
