Massachusetts police tweet lets slip scale of leftwing surveillance

At the height of Thursday night’s gas emergency that affected 8,000 people and in which one person was killed, Massachusetts state police posted to Twitter a map of responses to fires and explosions...But the image also showed something else: a bookmarks bar at the top of the browser window which listed several leftwing groups. {snip}

...Efforts have been made to curtail surveillance of leftwing groups. A 2017 bill in the Massachusetts legislature, “The Fundamental Freedoms Act”, proposed a prohibition on public agencies collecting information about first-amendment protected activities and speech. The one allowance would be reasonable grounds to believe a person had committed a crime. The legislative session ended on 31 July without the bill passing. “They should disclose the groups they’re monitoring,” Crockford said. “I encourage the … state police to release a list of all organizations’ Facebook pages they monitor for policing large events.”

They might also remember the Tsarnovs, and two flights that originated out of Logan.

God forbid the police actually keep track of suspected criminals and nefarious activities of liberal leaners.

Its a breath of fresh air actually. And if you want to know what a nice breath of fresh air feels like you can ask Congress and House Majority Whip Steve Scalise of Louisiana and Matt Mika who were both shot on June 17, 2017 by a liberal democrat that wanted to kill them simply because they were republicans.

They were shot by leftists not liberals. Use correct terms.

Also, we are in the area of treating everyone like a criminal under survailance instead of targeting real criminals.

I for one am tired of constant survaillance to

1) make the police mop up jobs easier, for surveillance doesn’t prevent crimes, only helps catching criminals, and those the state deems to be criminal; and

2) to compensate for a culture that has been de-nucleated of its moral center thus providing and increasing number of feral beings.

3) To tax and subject all citizens with the threat of state slavery if one does not comply.

Someone’s just trying to keep tabs on crazy Elizabeth Warren.

Yeah, sorry. I was tired.

Liberals, leftists, democrats, social justice warriors, statists, et.al. are all just a bunch of totalitarian dictators screaming for power to control your life.

They are the people in my black and white Twilight Zone dreams that I am pointing and laughing at because they are across the street with a group of Jack Boots crunching their necks only moments after they all pointed at me and yelled that thats was exactly what they wanted to happen to me. But Im Billy Mumy, the magic kid who just cant hold back giving to others their just desserts.( with a hint of evil laughter.)

Is this Monday? This is a good cup of coffee!

Still trying to figure why we just dream about folks getting the justice they deserve but in real life are willing to sacrifice our own for them to insure that those things will never happen again (even to people who sorely need it), but the left gets to go out a shoot folks with out so much as a coincidental parking ticket?

If memory serves me right, communism began here, with the entry of “white Russians” in the 1920s, a couple of years after the Bolsheviks took over Russia. The Bolsheviks went after the professors, actors/actresses, military leaders and anyone else of importance. Some of these people walked across the ice to Alaska,and others used any other mode of transport to America. Most of them settled in NY and CA. These people began the ACLU among their first adventures into America’s laws. Their first rules of order was the overthrow of America’s Constitution. Because America wouldn’t knuckle under to their wishes, they went “underground” and silently began indoctrination of Americans who would listen. They used unions, especially in CA with the movie industry. We’ve seen and heard anti American outbursts from individuals during their presentations and accepting of their golden whatever. Some entered our education systems and we have watched the “dumbing down of some students. We’ve seen what is happening in our universities and our university brainwashed media, written and tv. Communism is a slow moving,silent infection in America today. Communism has become inflamed with their anti American protests, media help, and some elected members of our government. It’s time Americans pop the infected Communism’s head and drain it.
