A White House terrorism strategy released today says Facebook, Twitter, and other social networks aid in "advancing violent extremist narratives" and should be monitored by the government.
The 12-page strategy (PDF), which outlines ways to respond to violent extremism, promises that: "We will continue to closely monitor the important role the Internet and social-networking sites play in advancing violent extremist narratives."
President Obama said in a statement accompanying the report that the federal government will start "helping communities to better understand and protect themselves against violent extremist propaganda, especially online."
While much of the White House document is focused on al Qaeda--which The Washington Post recently reported is on the "brink of collapse"--it also talks about domestic terrorists, neo-Nazis, anti-Semitic groups, and a broad "range of ideologies" that promote radicalization.
Today's announcement may signal that monitoring of social networks will broaden beyond the U.S. Department of Homeland Security already does. Depending on the details, it could also raise concerns about how to balance Americans' privacy rights with desire of security agencies to collect and analyze information that is, more or less, publicly available.

Maybe they should worry more about monitoring their own agencies, such as the ATF.
Screw the Feral Gummies. The only thing that's going to be "monitored" in the days ahead is their eventual collapse.

Hey, Barak! Hey Eric! Hey, Ken! Welcome to the site! Pull up a chair and make yourselves at home!
If they monitor anti-Semitic traffic, won't that impede Obama's hate-fests with his muslim bastard kinsmen like the Raghead brotherhood, and al-Queda , or will he get a aiver? Everyone knows how much HE hates Israel and the Jews!
It's coming, Gentlemen...
When the collapse finally happens, we're going to be high up on the "round 'em up" list...
God help us, and GOD SAVE OUR REPUBLIC!
As a Son of the Revolution, I am sick and tired of "E Pluribus Unum" being mutilated, assaulted, raped and abused to serve the agenda of the multicult or even the Melting Pot.
E Pluribus Unum was a commentary on the unlikely federation of 13 disparate English colonies coming together under the rubric of a single continental confederation to represent their independent interests to the outside world, doing so with a unified voice.
IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH "IMMIGRANTS"!!!!
"The Melting Pot" was a piece of anarchist/Bolshevik/International Socialist propaganda designed to take the heat off wonderful newcomers like "Red" Emma Goldman and her merry band of assassins and thugs.
Whatever you might think of "Anglo-America" understand the terms and use them correctly. America has never been a "nation of immigrants" (an assinine oxymoron if ever there were).
AMERICA IS A NATION OF AMERICANS. Some are Americans by blood, other by "adoption". Everyone else is just living large at an American's expense.
(You know who you are!)
And that would be why I call myself by my favorite character from Dr. Strangelove, refrain from advocating violent revolution, political assassinations, etc.
However, I know my IP address gives away my position if they wish to go to that trouble. You aren't truly anonymous on the Internet. Algore saw to that when he invented it! :-D!
If I may translate........ 'Fuck you America and your constitution and your constitutional rights, we're in charge now'.
I think that's pretty accurate. This is a radical Marxists regime in the whitehouse and it has very willing and very stupid hands helping it accomplish it's goals.
I think it would be funny, and I would love to see the response from our Masters On High, if we would, on random occasions, just take any one trigger word (and I think we all pretty well know what most of them are), just that one word, all by itself, and put it into an otherwise blank and empty blog posting, or email, or social media posting. It would be like saying BOO in the dark next to someone's ear, or the "b" word at an airport.
I can just see it now:
"AHHHHHH . . . He said a dirty word! . . .wait . what. . huh . where's the rest? . . "
We all know that we're all being monitored anyhow, so why not give it a little spice?
"Your Honor, the accused used a trigger word"
"And, was there anything else?"
"Umm, no your Honor"
"So? Tell me again, why have you wasted my time in court?"

Someone should make and sell large bumper stickers (so the king won't have to put on his spectacles),
"I am the TEA Party Terrorist the government warned you against - BOO!"

Not even in his wildest fever dreams would Bush Jr. have thought this up, let alone thought he could have gotten away with it.
The insanity of the Obama regime is proceeding on such a pace, that no honest man can keep up with it.
Truth is literally changing continuously each day.
So, if they are monitoring Twitter, why didn't they stop the shit in Milwaukee or Chicago?
Oh thats right. It would be racist, I get it now.

I surely hope you don't expect it to work like that. They KNOW just exactly which judges are corrupt enough to give them what they want:

The stench is overwhelming. And it smells like pig.
The govt. will probably use senate bill S 1308, you know, the one where they keep records of EVERY internet transaction, email, etc. for a period of 18 months. To protect the children, of course. Hey Big Brother, to protect the children, we use these things called PARENTS, not the damn state!
Well, if Big Brother is watching, choke on this....Screw off you amngy dogs!
