The Proactive Detection Bureau has been instrumental in identifying violent corporatist extremists within the Federation.
Deputy Director Bethany Blake of the Federal Intelligence Agency gave a statement to the media:
âIn recent weeks, our surveillance algorithms flagged a series of coded communications for investigation. We found that a network of radicalised citizens were discussing plans to assassinate members of Congress and leading political figures.â
âThis movement, which calls itself Jupiterâs Wrath, is inspired by Jupiter Rochesterâs failed attempt to enable corporations to directly rule the Federation. Their goal was to enact revenge on those who they consider to be the âenemies of Jupiter Divisionâ.â
âUsing data intercepted by the Proactive Detection Bureau, FIA agents performed a series of coordinated strikes in several Federal systems. Over a thousand armed extremists were arrested before they could act. We are currently working to identify the remaining Jupiterâs Wrath members.â
Vice President Jerome Archer claimed that this was further validation of the Domestic Counter-Terrorism Act, which permitted the PDB to be established. However, Shadow President Felicia Winters commented:
âI commend the FIA for performing their duties. But I also question the timing of this operation, coming so soon after President Hudsonâs appallingly reckless attempt to capture Yuri Grom. To me it seems calculated to show his administration in a positive light, while ignoring the violation of citizensâ privacy.â
