Homeland Security Is Monitoring The Drudge Report, The New York Times
Atlantic Wire ^ | 11 January 2012 | Adam Clark Estes

It's unclear exactly why, but the Department of Homeland has been operating a "Social Networking/Media Capability" program to monitor the top blogs, forums and social networks online for at least the past 18 months.

Based on a privacy compliance review from last November recently obtained by Reuters, the purpose of the project is to "collect information used in providing situational awareness and establishing a common operating picture." Whatever that means.

Either way, the list of sites reported by Reuters reveals in a Wednesday afternoon exclusive is pretty intriguing...

Please refer to line two of the previous, that is the second line following the salutation— or the third line of the actual message.

And now, to continue:

In dark place concealed, white garment, or was

Cladding the resonant one

Thick marks, like skids deface beneath and hidden, yet

wookie (oh favored, she)

launders not them

“collect information used in providing situational awareness and establishing a common operating picture.”

In other words, they'll be reading the papers, watching the TV news, and monitoring Drudge. Big whoop.

You can bet the farm that they are also monitoring FR.

We've been joking about that since the Bush years. I'm sure we've been right all along, too.

Is this the list that was leaked? Looks legit?

FR is not on it, if this is the leaked list.

That document only shows a list of heavily trafficked websites that the public visits every day. There's nothing even remotely spooky about them reading what's there every day, to keep abreast of world news, trends, etc.

FR wouldn't show up on a list like that. No way are we ever going to see the real snoop list.

May I just ask...what is up with Mrs. Clinton's hair???

Well, she doesn't come by beauty naturally. It always has taken a lot of work to make her sparkle.

Ever seen her old college pics? She didn't even have it when she was young. I have no idea why Bubba was attracted to her.

WHOA WHOA WHOA!!! This isn’t just Barry’s mess up. This is our screw up. This is Bush’s Screw up. We all let the govt. decide that we need to be probed 6 ways to Sunday in order to be safe.

Barry is keeping up with it, but make no mistake, our complacency is what let this continue....Patriot Act, name one Patriot that is alright with the govt, being involved with their life.

They wouldn’t be watching FR so carefully if it were owned by Jamil bin Raben!

I think like most folks I’m at the point where the govt can kiss my grits. So if they want to monitor my useless Facebook profile which has very little info and a pic of Obama bowing to the Mayor of Tampa and my dog the they can knock themselves out.

Homeland Security Is Monitoring The Drudge Report, The New York Times (and prolly Free Republic)
Well, dress me up and call me Shirley!
Now who could have EVER saw this coming?

Now just because we have a Marxist in the White Hut. Commies all around him that are unvetted 'advisors'. An insane Moonbat control freak, Cass Sunstein, put in charge of all government regulations. And, an incompetent Bull-Dyke is in charge of 'protecting' America' -- shouldn't mean that we lose any rights or freedoms, correct?

And even if we are losing 'a little freedom' in the process it's *really* for our own good. So what's wrong with that? After all, we are 'Law Abiding Citizens' so why should we worry?


Lieber Meister unseres Vaterlandes.
Wie können loyale Bürger Sie heute dienen?
Wer sollte wir berichten an?
Sieg Heil! Sieg Heil! Sieg Heil!
[Ich bin bereit alles für Sie zu tun meine reizende Blume.]

Tyrants Are Arisin'
I see the Tyrants are arisin'.
I see the Commies on their way.
I see round-ups and barbed-wire.
I see Detention Camps today.

So don't go out tonight.
They're goin' to take your life.
Tyrants are a-comin' right your way.
