DHS Now Surveilling Jihad Watch


From Robert Spencer in this announcement. Excerpt:
Welcome, DHS agents!

I've just learned that the Department of Homeland Security has Jihad Watch under surveillance, along with a broad spectrum of sites all over the ideological and political map, including Live Leak, Vimeo, Youtube, Flickr, Counter-Terrorism Blog, Danger Room, Drudge Report, Foreign Policy, Global Security Newswire, Google Blog Search, Homeland Security Today, Huffington Post, LongWarJournal, MEMRI, Newsweek Blogs, NYTimes Lede Blog, Plowshares Fund, Popular Science Blogs, Science Daily, STRATFOR, Technorati, Terror Finance Blog, and many, many others.

Clearly there is no commonality here -- in other words, the DHS isn't just watching anti-jihad sites, or conservative sites. The explanation given is this: "This is a representative list of sites that the NOC [National Operations Center] will start to monitor in order to provide situational awareness and establish a common operating picture under this Initiative. Initial sites listed may link to other sites not listed. The NOC may also monitor those sites if they are within the scope of this Initiative."...
I suppose that any of us on Jihad Watch's blogroll might also be under surveillance.

is the pdf with the list.

Well, no ducking and running from me!

Every time I think I am being paranoid, it turns out I am not being paranoid enough

Yes, this is serious business.

How many will have the guts to take a stand?

Hell, I'm too old to back down. And too stubborn, too.

Well, this only confirms what we all suspected anyway.

About those FEMA camps. . .

Keep in mind that list is a year long, and has probably grown exponentially since. Just like everything else with this fucking government.

Always On Watch said...

MR,
Thanks for pointing out that the list is a year old.

How does the DHS appear on one's site meter? With what identity, I mean.

Always On Watch said...

A commenter at my site pointed out how much this project is costing us taxpayers. A good observation, IMO.
