A list of sites the Department of Homeland of Security wants to monitor:

Interestingly enough, FR is not anywhere on there, even though I am sure there are at least several sites there that get less viewership than this one are on there. Seems like this site is considered impotent to at least some parts of govt for now, good news bad news thing I guess ?
They probably want to monitor us so they can keep track of what the “eneemy” is up to.
You missed this on the the DHS monitoring list:
“This is a representative list of sites that the NOC will start to monitor in order to provide situational
awareness and establish a common operating picture under this Initiative. Initial sites listed may link to
other sites not listed. The NOC may also monitor those sites if they are within the scope of this Initiative.”
I would like to have your level of trust for the gov’t “just doing it’s job”, but trends I observe do not allow me to do so. The Washington Times is not some crank web site.
