I know you like to stay up on current events, dear reader, but some days it pays to take a look at the past.
If you don't learn from truths revealed by time, you will often be out of the loop on what comes next.
Only by taking past experience and adding new data to what you have learned can you hope to avoid repeating mistakes.
Imagine a life where day after day you continue to do the same things but never arrive anywhere different.
Very few of us are happy with how life is going collectively.
Rich people have been off the chain too long.
This story will expose truths to you that likely occurred while your parents were children.
I was much younger and a total dupe.
I hope you take the time to see the truth that has been hidden from us for all these years.
If I had known then things could've turned out different.
Let's hope that things do turn differently for you.
Unicorn Riot obtained more than two dozen Homeland Security policy manuals including several from the 1980s and 1990s – 195 pages in all.
This is the last release in our Icebreaker series.
While some of these documents have appeared elsewhere in various forms, they are helpful to give perspective on the way federal investigators break down cases.
Due to the origins of these manuals from inside the investigative section of the U.S. Treasury Department, they shed particular light on the little-understood inner workings of the U.S. financial infrastructure, such as the wire transfer systems administered by the Federal Reserve System, and money laundering investigations conducted therein.
The U.S. Customs Service, inside the Treasury Department, was one of the oldest agencies of the federal government, created by the fifth act of Congress in July 1789. USCS was split up into various components within the Department of Homeland Security in 2003.
The USCS Office of Investigations, including its policy manuals, became a main component of ICE/HSI at that point.
ICE/HSI produced an informants manual in 2012, seemingly after the leaked material Unicorn Riot obtained was created, according to a FOIA obtained by GovernmentAttic.org.
There are a number of references to the 1997 USCS informant manual in other Icebreaker releases, which indicates that the file was functioning as the main policy document for special agents long after USCS was disbanded.
