Bloggers Beware

New Initiatives
Just when you think that Big Government is big enough, they go ahead and steal more personal liberties away from you when you aren't looking. Kiss freedom of speech goodbye!

The Department of Homeland security is now "authorized" to make sure that the government is keeping track on who's saying what. This includes all journalists AND bloggers! Authorized? Really?

In a DHS department called the National Operations Center (NOC) there is something the government calls the "Media Monitoring Initiative." (Don't you just love those big government names?)

The job of this center is to monitor and retain personal information of all journalists, reporters, bloggers, news anchors, or anyone who uses "traditional and/or social media in real time to keep their audience situationally aware and informed."

That's government jargon to mean that they are now keeping watch over bloggers. Now they can spy on bloggers and gather as much information on them as they want.

The DHS defines "personal identifiable information (PII)" as any information that "permits the identity of an individual to be directly or indirectly inferred, including and information which is linked or linkable to that individual."

So now Homeland Security and their National Operations Center can officially spy on bloggers and collect information on them (probably for future prosecution for "Crimes Against America").

Warning: Pretty soon the DHS will be tracking the people who read the bloggers!

What This Means
This administration is building the walls that will imprison you while you sit back and watch! Has anyone in Congress stopped to ask whether these actions are LEGAL? Who authorized these new initiatives? Obama? Holder? Who? Who died and put Homeland Security in charge of becoming the National Police Force?

So now big government "thinks" that it's OK to come after you and me when they don't like your Internet message. Strange how long it takes before citizens actually wake up and see the big picture. Things will only get worse. You can't expect honey and roses with this going on coming out of this administration. The Department of Homeland Security has overstepped their authority and are now becoming a new Obama police force!

What Not To Do
America just keep your head in the sand. When you finally do wake up, you'll find that you're in a whole new country, you won't own anything, and you'll be depending on the government. AND... you won't like it very much, but it will be too late.
