Nah...that’s just the JV team.

There are some concerns that NSA is running many more than one of the TOR gateways and doing traffic analysis to de-anonymize messages. See:

A related history lesson the DoJ may wish to review in earnest detail: Committee of Correspondence

Of course, there will be NO investigation of left-wing extremist groups and THEIR social media use

Silly you. You should know that there is no such thing as an 'extreme' left wing.

When the left/goverment speaks of “enemies”,
they only refer to those who are an immediate threat

to their own power.

The DoJ is completely politicalized (along with the IRS, CIA, State/DoS, EPA, military aids to senators/congressmen & community organizers on the Federal payroll).

The reason that DoJ can justify this is because it represents a threat to the Left's America. Obama's people are tyrants in waiting. Obama's campaign organization will eventually find itself in the news just like Bill and Hillary foundation.

Obama’s DOJ has morphed into the Stasi.

Of course they are. What do you think the hundreds (or thousands) of NSA employees were looking at... while the Russians were screaming at us about the Tsarnaev brothers?

Tell me: To a federal employee, who is more of a threat - a Tea Party member who wants less government spending and programs, or a terrorist who, if he gets away with killing US citizens, is going to INCREASE government programs, jobs, and related benefits?

This is Obama's America, FRiend, and if you think the stink of corruption in Chicago was bad, these crooks have taken over our entire country with their greed.

"National Security"? Don't make me laugh.

More like federal employee job security. You're on your own, buddy.

> The Department of Justice is concentrating on “far-right” groups in a new study of social media usage aimed at combatting violent extremism Why aren't you studying these guys. They have already established that they are far more dangerous and destructive:

You mean like how the SPLC incited that guy to go try to shoot up the Family Research Council?

Nope, that won’t be included

There are no “far left” violent extremists? Somehow I doubt it. And is the alleged “violence” real violence or just critical speech that the ruling
leftists disagree with and thus want to ban, First Amendment notwithstanding?

Read the last sentence in the exerpt. It sounds a lot like a way to circumvent the elimination of the Patriot Act: government can’t monitor, compile, etc. But it can pay Universities to monitor, etc under the auspices of a study.

Hmm, no study of far-left groups? Wonder why.
Actually I know why, they target groups who they think may be a threat to the government, not the country.
The left nut groups are already controlled, funded and agitated by the government. No need or desire to shine any light there.

All the violent extremism is from left wing groups many of which were trained by DOJ.
