The Truthy database project is billed as a non-partisan effort, but the “lead investigator” on the project is reportedly involved with a multitude of progressive or liberal groups, Filippo Menczer has reportedly uttered support for Moveon.org, Amnesty International, and President Barack Obama’s Organizing for Action, among other groups.


Perhaps one of the most disturbing aspects of the Twitter monitoring project is the “reporting” of suspicious posts tool:

"The federal government spent $1 million to create a database to track hate speech and “misinformation”"

Obviously this will mean conservative hate speech...

Did they give it a noce name like the “Ministry of Truth” ?

These people need to re-read ‘Animal Farm’ - or at least the parts that apply to them.

“The birds did not understand Snowball’s long words, but they accepted his explanation, and all the humbler animals set to work to learn the new maxim by heart. FOUR LEGS GOOD, TWO LEGS BAD, was inscribed on the end wall of the barn, above the Seven Commandments and in bigger letters

Big words bad, small words good: it’s easier to understand rules when they’re simple”

“YES WE CAN” “HOPE AND CHANGE”

Like the fed itself is not involved in this.

When a government does not accept constraints but starts giving them, it is game over for that government. It is now self corrupting and brainwashing.

This not so much aimed at us but at themselves feeling good about their crimes. Be afraid.

Although we all know better, the deceitful description of their purpose would make some think that the government is going to track their own speech. The Federal government is by far the biggest source of misinformation there is.

Their “false & misleading” is someone else’s idea of truth & there is only one source of truth. I doubt that source is this administration.

Remember back when Jimmy Carter proposed a system to monitor telephone calls and automatically start recording it IF certain words were used.

http://www.libertyunderfire.org/2013/06/the-governments-secret-court-there-is-no-real-congressional-or-judicial-oversight/

“This secret court began during the Jimmy Carter Administration with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, in 1978. Initiated by Ted Kennedy it had strong bipartisan support. It was created as a response to President Richard Nixon’s usage of federal resources to spy on political activist groups during his tenure as president, which likely violated the Fourth Amendment.

Ironically, the solution, legalized spying on our own citizens, was a greater violation of the Amendment than before. Few voices opposed giving the government extra spy power during the “Cold War” when it seemed that the whole planet was falling under the totalitarian influence of communism but, once legalized, the surveillance moved to other groups notably the socialists who opposed the Vietnamese War.”

NOW, Jimmy uses snail mail as he is afraid his e-mails will be monitored by the NSA. Oh the irony!

A million dollars is chicken scratch to this administration. How much are they really spending and are they using the same staff who ran Obama’s old “Fight the Smears” webpage?
