Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Thursday, January 12, 2012

The Department of Homeland Security is routinely monitors dozens of popular websites, including Facebook, Twitter, WikiLeaks and news sites including the Huffington Post, Drudge Report and several blogs, according to a "privacy compliance review" issued by the department last November. The purpose of the monitoring is to "collect information used in providing situational awareness and establishing a common operating picture," the review states.

My my well Janet sure is busy these days,,,

In conclusion, the Department of Homeland Security is just like you. We've seen no reports of The Atlantic Wire being on the list. But if we are, hello Department of Homeland Security employees -- thanks for reading!

In America, website reads you!

Funny thing is... The Fed has been doing the same thing.

Don't worry... If you have nothing to hide, you'll be fine.

If I could get on with the monitoring department of Homeland security and have Rcade pay me by the world I could get paid for writing and reading (Insert Joke Here),,,

"Homeland Security Is Monitoring The Blogs"

Of course they are. No surprise here.

"What is more upsetting: that they are doing this or that we didn't make the cut?"

I can't say that it isn't reasonable for them to do so, and don't be so sure that we didn't make the cut. We may not be popular enough to make it into the article, but don't allow that to lead you to the conclusion that the list of targets in the article is complete. They are just examples of which most people are familiar.

obummer protruding into our lives again.

It is a known fact that democrats and libs want to control our lives. They want everyone to think and behave like them.

Hope and change

SUCKERS

They want everyone to think and behave like them.

I think that's par for the course for both ideologies. I certainly dont want liberals making policy for my life, that's not how I want to live. The problem will come in when liberals are in charge and they try to FORCE you to abide by their type of living...THAT will be fun..

"Don't worry... If you have nothing to hide, you'll be fine."

And if you have something to hide, and then put it on a public blog that everybody on the planet can read, you're not too bright in the first place.

Spud to Fatherland Security Apparatchiks:

Monitor THIS.

Be Well.

They monitor everything. Computers do it with algorithms made to find suspicious activity. Privacy is a naive concept.

If all they are doing is monitoring publicly available information, I don't see any cause for concern.

It would be extremely wrong, however, if they are accessing private information, bypassing privacy controls to see you, your purchases, etc. Otherwise, if they are just watching us troll each on the Retort, they are just watching public information.

Plus side is they might finally catch Tosser or Douchemark.

Funny how your tune has changed since Bush left office.
I guess monitoring the DR is ok, but monitoring international phone calls to Pakistan isn't between terrorists is out of bounds.

Or better yet, when a leftist does it, it's ok. When a conservative does it, they're destroying the Constitution.

those European Jewish exterminated like rats last century had no reason to be concerned with a benevolent governing structure monitoring and recording publicly available information. too boredlearned to to recite other examples that go back before we lerned that recording and killing were effective control mechanisms.

there is some sort of psychotic dichotomy genetically programmed into our species.

we ain't lemmings, that is too simple. we are a self exterminating species who use our compassion for our fellow beings as excuse to position sufficient force to cull, using the complicity, grace, recources of those exterminated beforehand. we must position necessary resource and mechanism with cooperation and sanction of those who will go byby when those peoples have ability to reason. it is so clever that it has a beauty of its own horror. this place has thatshine.

been going on a long time.

happening again.

it sucks.

many will be startled.

others will not care if it is not them.

so it goes.

it is.

#13 if you really think a public online blog is the same as a private phone call you're a but of an idiot.

forgot to tell those who are supposedly monitoring my ass to fuck off.

there is no control in nature, just luck and hardlarned skill.

fear is the killer of the mind.

skill is the killer of fear.

killing a killer is nice.

fun too.

MMercier sounds like a tough guy. I'll bet he sets his own fractures.

My headline was better.

Sweet. They should join the Nooner!

I wonder if they'll accidentally find the DR like everyone else here did.

spot on.

they got ticks.

don't know what they are either.

silence is golden.

as is a mach.

godspeed

How interesting, we are paying people to monitor blogs, now obama and administration are not interested in being good caretakers of our money.

Double FF for LOD.

I noticed that you never said anything to posters #7 & #8.

So, I guess so long as it's a 'leftist' President doing it, it's out of bounds and he's destroying our Constitution?

Butt when a republican President does it, he's protecting our freedom?

This place is slipping. For sure I thought someone would have grabbed the name 'DHS' or something like that and posted a "Yes, we are watching you" comment.

The article forgot mention something very important....are certain biased self annointed organizations such as the SPLC, ADL, ITRR, etc. involved in keeping the DHS informed on sites and posts to monitor similar to what was done in the Soviet Union with dissidents?

pubrecord.org

That such organizations have even been permitted to become the defacto conscience of the USA should tell us exactly where our liberties and leadership of the USA are headed. If we had Joe McCarthy too and his hit lists we'd have the situation covered.

Some even call those who are Constitutionalists as a threat to the USA.

Maybe we can help out RCADE to get on the Homeland Security shit list by using certain words like: bomb em, kill em stab em and skull fuck em. How about: terrorist, assassinate, Muslim?

Half of this bugs me. On open public forums, there is no expectation of privacy, so there is no problem with DHS monitoring them. It is the HAM radio of the modern age.

The problem I would have is Twitter, Facebook, and Myspace. These are private pages that usually requires an invitation to follow. There is an expectation of privacy on those outlets.

I think this is a clear case of where laws have not yet caught up with the new media.

I hope each state's unemployment division is watching this site, rounding up you deadbeats on unemployment who are pretending to be looking for work.

Those are good.

The Department of Homeland Security makes fake users on Twitter and Facebook with which to follow suspicious people. But what if you're not shifty enough to get your own government e-stalker? No problem: Just tweet "My cow collapsed, and now there's a human to animal infection outbreak among illegal immigrants."

That should bring heaps of DHS scrutiny, judging from a fresh lawsuit seeking access to the agency's data. In the suit, the privacy advocates at Electronic Privacy Information Center said DHS is monitoring social networks, blogs and message boards for users saying terms like "human to animal," "collapse," "infection," "outbreak," and "illegal immigrants." If you use these words and phrases, the government might follow you, record your activity, and share information about you with local, state, federal, and foreign governments. Since EPIC has thus far received no cooperation from the government and is suing for access, it's not clear how the nonprofit compiled its list of red-flag keywords. Hopefully its research did not involve human to animal contact, smuggling things through airport security, or bribing government employees!

There, that oughta do it.

^_^

Be Well.

/Emboldened for extra cheekiness!

Moneywar...It's ok for them to fondle your grandma and your children but not read public blogs?

Wanna save a few Duckets? Shut down the DHS!

This monster, another wonderful gift from the Bush Error, is wasting a trillion taxpayer dollars a year.

There!

That should get me on a list somewhere.

Let's see ...

plutonium

anthrax

thermonuclear

smuggle

That ought to do it.

Part of the Big Lie - like Hitler was a socialist and not taxing billionaires will increase federal revenues - is that progressive freedom lovers want to control anyone. Where, I might ask the great unwashed, is the profit in that? Hope and change? Those very same uglies have managed to impede any change, but with the Occupy movement, we have a smidgen of hope.
Homeland Security, of course, shklls for the corporations. herm

I used to listen to Art Bell in the 90's. X-Files on the radio and all. Anyway...he used to say to include words like "bomb" "kilo" "President" and "cash" in every conversation.

Herm, what the fuck are you talking about?

Let's see ...

plutonium

anthrax

thermonuclear

smuggle

That ought to do it.

I know, right? Those damn liberals and their pesky demands for a more religion in government.

I see no moderation here Joe. this is a good thing.

open exchange of ideas, the good, bad and the outright evil have a draw to those with the refined taste for such. good, bad, indifferent... here beme.

this place will live or die with the rest of the ether.

the question is the question. therein lies the rub.

I like it here for specific reason. that reason remains to be defined at another point in time. with luck...

me will inevitably be banned, like fr,du,hopo,wsj,nyt,...whatnot. .. tastes are refined, collectors are eccentric... we do what we do, we love what we love. the nature of the passion is inability of the possessor to question his or her innate desire and reconcile such with reality.

fuck everyone and everything,but allow individual voice to shout into the storm.

the alternatives, which shall soon manifest will be more unpleasant than confronting unpleasant thoughts of cloisrered peoples trying to reason out position over a uplink.

well at least you HACKS got on some sort of list...everytime oreiily had his internet watch or whatever NONE of you liberals could get on the broadcast....

pussies !

:)

@ll appoligies forthe double posts and spelling.

the pup pissed on the tpshiba so I am now in the kindle realm.

things will get ugly when that unit gets fixed... caps too.

sounds like the folks at DHS are being paid to websurf, sounds like a great job, p aid to post to the DR!!!!!1

10 will get you 20 that she "AINT" lookin for terrorists threats like muslim extremists......looking for some of us right wing religious zealots who lean on our "GUNS AND RELIGION".........

HEY DHS....obama is a liar !

i'll bet it's a cute little pommeranian named "twinkles"

true enough.

in the ether, shit piles up higher than Everest every hour.

having Janet and obama overseeing and intention of controlling the opinions of a few hundred million swinging dick's does not scare.

these retards could not run a frikin yardsale...

there are other... factors... that await.

they are not as trivial or foolish...

some of them bite hard.

The Big Bro is watching you!!!

it is not overt force that must be countered. that is easy, especially by an leagally armed population itching to shoot their gun at something that ain't paper.

for every armed member of local,state,federal law enforcement, and all armed or capabil to bear such in all branches of military forces... there are a thousand people who simply register for a tag to hunt a doe or buck every year.

the mechanism of control that must be hit at every point at every oppertunity is so subtle and warm it feels like a hot wet kiss, and is accepted as such by everyone.

disgust permiates everything left within my being. I will tfot out one example that was piked up somewhere somehow somewy...

some parties within the governing apparatus have obtained the power to essentially outlaw the burning of coal, because mercury released at incineration is bad for people. big fucking deal, the friking Romans knew that...

follow here, these things bore... that is the intent... and the mechanism... click off.

those same pigs have also outlawed the incandescent lightbulb, to save the planet from the mercury emmissions from isolated coal burning facilities. the solution is to put shitty bulbs that individually contain enough mercury to kill a cow in every outlet on the continent. everyone agrees this is a fine thing, especially the jobs czarist who has been building shiny new manufacturing facilities in nice places where no one gives a fuck about mercury.

bored yet.. I am.

in any case, this is a done deal...no one gives a fuck. they will not care even when the apparatus that forced them to purchase ten dollar lightnulbs forces them gp purchase a ten dollar permit to dispose of hazardous waste.

then... those same fucker's will dump it into the ground and sue the piss out of anyone foolish enough to manufacture here.

a fabullously diabolical thing, and even the children will agree.

when you have a planet to save.... a few billion or dead don't.mean shit.

the trick is to get the individual to tune out, and to get the kids to tune in.

few have a clue as to what is going down. no one can even be slapped in to caring. boring...

fewer care, but even fewer know exactly what is happening, because they are Rldoing it.

The problem will come in when liberals are in charge and they try to FORCE you to abide by their type of living...THAT will be fun.

I know, Boaz. Remember that time when hillary Clinton took your guns away?

Meanwhile, conservatives remain hellbent onforcing others to abide by their type of living, whether it be teaching creationism in science class our outlawing abortion.

I'm here you DHS puks.

Took a little longer than 1984, HEs heeeeeere.

I can't say that it isn't reasonable for them to do so, and don't be so sure that we didn't make the cut. We may not be popular enough to make it into the article

#6 | Posted by Hagbard_Celine

Not to worry Hag as long I took the time today just to get on a computer in order to reply to your post in another thread I'll be monitoring you for the next 35 minutes â€" Enjoy!

I have asked myself several times if DHS would want to watch this place, and the answer always comes back -

Wouldn't anyone want to keep an eye on a site harboring Chairborne, Tosser, Glasshouse, RiR, Crispee and RWD?

"Don't worry... If you have nothing to hide, you'll be fine."

Um... It's WRONG to spy on private citizens, whether or not they're doing anything wrong. If you suspect someone of doing something wrong, get a fucking warrant.

"My cow collapsed, and now there's a human to animal infection outbreak among illegal immigrants."

If I'm in Gitmo next week, it's your fault, Mr. Potato.

If I'm in Gitmo next week, it's your fault, Mr. Potato.

/Only until they catch their breath from laughing but hey, any shelter in a storm, amirite?

I can't go to Gitmo, they use guys like me as currency!"

Be Well.

Big Brother? Using the social network rather than the TV as it was done in George Orwells's "1984?"

We're having an impact. While satanin forces try to increase slaves via war and prisons, truth favors those who love the truth.... for those fear the truth too baaad.

This has been going on since Shrub ascended to the Presidency and expanded to every telephone except Qwest, which refused to cooperate with authorities. Congress granted "retroactive" immunity for these crimes an the Patriot Act, clearly written before 9-11, legalized the practice, at least if that law trumps the Constitution. The CIA is building a listening station in Utah near Camp Williams Army Reserve to record every telephone and internet connection on the planet that is routed through a US owned piece of hardware.

A fucking disgusting evil empire is tightening its noose around the slave class.

You might want to read the history of Woodrow Wilson, who was doing stuff like this and arresting anyone who said anything against the country, the government, etc. There is a serious lack of education on here.

"he history of Woodrow Wilson,"

Yeah, Wilson was a great violator of civil liberties. That's true. What about it?

Is this going to put an end to Tosser's career as (code name) "Snoopy," the super-dooper cyber-subversive?

Is this going to put an end to Tosser's career as (code name) "Poindexter"...

FT

REDIAL

"Poindexter"

I like that, too.

But for some reason I can see Tosser siting on the edge of a roof wearing WWII flight goggles and going rat-a-tat-tat with an imaginary machine gun.

The Red Baron of Pakistan!

I don't post here often enough. Is that why you guys think I am someone else?

Poindexter

No, that isn't it. I think Redial is talking about the Urban Dictionary Poindexter.

So, does DHS monitor or participate? Are you here Janet?

If so, then fuck you Janet. Straight from my fingers to your eyes, FUCK YOU.

I pray your time in office, grows ever shorter.

You fat fugly dike bitch.

bomb.
kilo.
anthrax.
heroin.
cocaine.
Fbi.
Cia.
dea.

bunch of others escape me at the moment... all selected words uttered over a domestic hardline activate a recording at an nsa server.

the recordings are evaluated by a human for context and classiffied accordingly.

the evaluating personnel get tens of thousands of hits each shift. the numbers of personnel and hits is classified.

old tech... boring job... but no heavy lifting.

you cant handle the truth.

the fact remains that the us military is the most benign force to ever walk thearth.

feigning naive while turning ones back on known outcome beforehand is simple evil.

you have to break eggs to make cake. letting others break eggs and deliver the cake does not mean your a huminist... just a miseducated first world turd who believes that cake comes from a store.

just an observation.

.... The Guy Behind the Guy.. Behind the Guy!

**** Drudge is actually run by the CIA...at least thats what the Mossad tells them!!!
