Homeland Security Given Green Light to Monitor American Journalists
The Blaze ^ | 1/9/12 | Tiffany Gabbay

Under the National Operations Center (NOC)’s Media Monitoring Initiative that emerged from the Department of Homeland Security in November, Washington has written permission to collect and retain personal information from journalists, news anchors, reporters or anyone who uses “traditional and/or social media in real time to keep their audience situationally aware and informed.”

According to DHS, the definition of personal identifiable information can consist of any intellect “that permits the identity of an individual to be directly or indirectly inferred, including any information which is linked or linkable to that individual.”

Maybe the Left will finally understand. They might love Obama because they think he will get those evil conservatives for them, but the day they are deemed no longer useful, they are just as disposable.

I highly doubt it. The left as a whole will end up exactly as did Ernst Rohm at Stadelheim Prison as he was shot, whimpering "Mein Fuhrer! Mein Fuhrer!"

Throwing a tantrum because FR doesn't support Mitt or your Fave RINO?
Aren't you precious
Aren't you Precious.

For those who support FR, click here to show it!
For the perpetually offended and the WHINERS, click here instead.

No we won’t.

“They” will run out of willing thugs to do the
dirty work after the first day.

“I guess we’ll all meet at the concentration camp”

I could be in worse company. Personally I go with the man at the signing of the Declaration of Independence who made his signature extra large. If I’m going to be hanged for my values, I want there to be enough evidence to convict.

on that day, even before that day, theyll be systematically eliminated, as they are the threat to rabble-rouse in a 180 degree manner...

fools that refuse to study are even acknowledge history are always dumbfounded when they get bitten by their own frankenstein...

Amen, FRiend! We will be competing for the largest signature.

Given the overrreach of Obama himself with recess appointments and now this, can anyone tell me how this ISN'T the start of the Amerikan Totalitarian State? Yes, I'm asking you to prove a negative.

"So that last clause includes pretty much anyone who uses Facebook, twitter, email mailing lists, a blog, or a pinglist like those used on this site. That encompasses a significant percentage of everyone who uses a computer in the US."

So comrade... tell us about your 'ping' list- or we can make it very ...uncomfortable for you.

They aren't going to waste time to coax any of us into explaining anything. Imagine South American secret police goons who only take time enough with you to torture a blood-soaked written confession out of you and then summarily dump your dead body at the local land fill. They won't waste time with Constitutional pleasantries; they're not even doing that now on much of what they do.

Some where there’s probably a new definition of “journalist” that includes bloggers and posters.
