To the analysts at the New Jersey fusion center, Thompson\u2019s killing hinted at a larger trend.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPublic discourse increasingly attributes the challenges faced by the middle and lower classes to the actions and influence of wealthy corporate executives,\u201d the fusion center memo says.<\/p>\n<p>By warning corporate security outfits of the danger posed by average Americans who blame their problems on the actions of corporate executives, the report effectively dedicates public resources to securing a private system that has made the few extremely wealthy at the expense of the many.<\/p>\n<p>Michael German, a former FBI agent specializing in domestic terrorism and longtime critic of fusion centers, said that by warning CEOs of threats, the bulletin was effectively taking the side of the rich and powerful over ordinary people who are critical of inequality \u2014 a typical dynamic at fusion centers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe way it\u2019s written, the report seems to be putting forth the view that that is an extremist viewpoint, rather than something that the state has some responsibility in correcting,\u201d German said. \u201cAll the resources of the national network of fusion centers, which includes federal resources along with state and local resources, are devoted toward providing security information to private entities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- BLOCK(document)[0](%7B%22componentName%22%3A%22DOCUMENT%22%2C%22entityType%22%3A%22EMBED%22%7D)(%7B%22sourceId%22%3A%2228317413-new-jersey-fusion-center-quarterly-executive-threat-watch-january-2026%22%2C%22sourceName%22%3A%22documentcloud%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22https%3A%5C%2F%5C%2Fbeta.documentcloud.org%5C%2Fdocuments%5C%2F28317413-new-jersey-fusion-center-quarterly-executive-threat-watch-january-2026%22%7D) --><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" height=\"450\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-forms\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.documentcloud.org\/documents\/28317413-new-jersey-fusion-center-quarterly-executive-threat-watch-january-2026\/?embed=1&amp;title=1\" style=\"border: 1px solid #aaa;\" width=\"100%\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<!-- END-BLOCK(document)[0] --><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Brian Thompson <\/strong>Murder<\/h2>\n<p>The \u201cQuarterly Executive Threat Watch\u201d bulletin warned corporate bodyguards to switch up the daily routines of execs, limit information on public engagements, and remove bosses\u2019 personal information from the web. The report says bosses should \u201cremain vigilant of lone offenders with personal grievances.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFollowing the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson and the current political climate, there is a heightened threat environment surrounding corporate executives,\u201d the report says. \u201cOnline glorification of the murder of Brian Thompson and calls for violence are still apparent and further create a risk for a lone offender attack.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson for New Jersey\u2019s Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness, the agency that oversees the fusion center, did not respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p>Days after Thompson\u2019s killing in late 2024, Mangione was arrested and charged with the murder, allegedly motivated by injustices in the healthcare system. The then-26-year-old quickly became a cause c\u00e9l\u00e8bre for a wide array of supporters and a b\u00eate noire of right-wing figures, including those at the Trump administration, who branded him as a violent extremist.<\/p>\n<p>Mangione\u2019s legal team declined to comment on the fusion center report, but has in the past decried attempts to tie him to unrelated acts of violence.<\/p>\n<p>The report went on to cite a list of seemingly disparate incidents to highlight a possible surge in threats to the wealthy, including a satirical Christmas wishlist that called for sabotaging CEOs; a handful of 4chan posts calling for violence against executives at Netflix and elsewhere; a \u201cfar-left forum\u201d calling for a campaign against people tied to a mining project in Michigan; and an act of vandalism by pro-Palestine activists at the home of a New York Times executive.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/newhomeamerica.com\/?p=263\">Socialists Are Setting the Agenda in New York City<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Another incident that made the list was the federal case against the so-called Turtle Island Liberation Front, a group of left-wing activists arrested last year whose alleged bomb plot appears to have been largely driven by a member of their group who was a longtime paid FBI informant.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe problem with a lot of these fusion center reports is that they take a handful of incidents, not necessarily related to one another, and use them to justify and amplify these threats without any kind of analysis,\u201d said German. \u201cRather than actually looking at data, their performance is measured by the number of reports they produce.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Fusion Centers<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Fusion centers, which bring together state and federal law enforcement agencies to share intelligence on potential terror threats, rose to prominence in the wake of the 9\/11 attacks. The centers operate under state authority, often with grants from federal agencies like the Department of Homeland Security.<\/p>\n<p>While data on any terror plots actually foiled by fusion center operations is scant, they have been roundly criticized for compiling surveillance and data on protest movements, communities of color, student organizers, and, recently, critics of AI data centers.<\/p>\n<p>New Jersey\u2019s only fusion center, officially known as the New Jersey Regional Operations and Intelligence Center, has been criticized for operating outside the typical oversight to which most state agencies are subject.<\/p>\n<p>A 2023 report by Rutgers Law School\u2019s Center for Security, Race, and Rights warns of the potential for abuse in the New Jersey fusion center. The report cited the fusion center\u2019s practice of drafting dossiers on \u201cknown troublemakers\u201d and its reliance on so-called \u201cintelligence-led policing,\u201d a practice of surveilling and data collection that the American Civil Liberties Union has cited as a potential violation of the right to due process.<\/p>\n<p>The Quarterly Executive Threat Watch, the bulletin that included the warning for CEOs, appears to be internally categorized as terrorism-related intelligence and was later disseminated by a U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer to recipients across the country. (CBP did not immediately respond to a request for comment.)<\/p>\n<p>Then there is the issue of the center\u2019s shadowy public-private partnership. The New Jersey fusion center does not make public which private agencies or organizations it partners with, or to whom it disseminates reports.<\/p>\n<p>The January report drew heavily on the work of SITE Intelligence, a for-profit firm that has come in for criticism because of its labeling Islamic charities as terror fronts and mistakenly identifying video game footage as terror propaganda.<\/p>\n<p>Like its counterparts across the country, the New Jersey fusion center feeds its reports into a national network of public and private agencies dedicated to the gathering and dissemination of information about potential threats \u2014 a practice that frequently crosses the line into surveillance of political speech, according to German and other critics of fusion centers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a lack of public accountability here,\u201d German said. \u201cBecause they\u2019re joint enterprises, it\u2019s very ambiguous who is actually in charge and who is responsible for ensuring that the participants within these centers are acting in accordance with the law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/newhomeamerica.com\/?p=261\">The Intercept Sues to Uncover Secretive Government Anti-Protester Database<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A police intel document warned corporate bodyguards that \u201cchallenges faced by the middle and lower classes\u201d might spur attacks on wealthy CEOS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":266,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-267","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
