http://www.infowars.com/government-to-monitor-social-networks-for-extremist-propaganda/ Government to Monitor Social Networks For “Extremist Propaganda”New White House plan follows Pentagon advisory targeting protests against Federal Reserve Paul Joseph WatsonInfowars.com Thursday, August 4, 2011 A new strategy document released by the White House promises to “closely monitor…the Internet and social networking sites” in order to “counter online violent extremist propaganda” as the federal government attempts to embed itself further in local communities under the guise of preventing domestic extremism. The document, Empowering Local Partners to Prevent Violent Extremism in the United States (PDF), focuses on identifying Americans who have supposedly been radicalized or groomed by Al-Qaeda to carry out attacks in the United States.  As the L.A. Times notes, the plan involves “federal departments not usually associated with national security,” and is heavily focused around increasing the federal government’s involvement with schools and the “emotional and behavioral development” of young people. The document defines extremist propaganda as that which is used to “feed on grievances” and “assign blame.” The government vows to “aggressively” combat such ideology by “continuing to closely monitor the important role the internet and social networking sites play in advancing violent extremist narratives.” In targeting the Internet and social networking websites for surveillance in the name of fighting domestic terrorism, the White House is continuing in the vein of the previous administration who in 2006 revealed that since 9/11 they had been pursuing a plan to diminish the role of “conspiracy theories” as a primary recruitment tool for terrorists. The document arrives in the same week that the Pentagon also announced it would be hiring individuals to “detect and track popular ideas on social networks”. Indeed, one such examples amidst many where the federal government monitored the Internet to counter “extremist propaganda” was before protests against the Federal Reserve in 2009 that took place across the United States. After the demonstrations were organized on social networks, the Pentagon released a “Force Protection Advisory” about “planned protests at all Federal Reserve Banks and office locations within the United States,” that was sent to Northcom and the FBI. On November 22, 2008, Alex Jones led a rally at the Federal Reserve Bank in Dallas Texas. The Dallas protest is specifically mentioned in the official Army document. Despite the White House document’s claim that, “opposition to government policy is neither illegal nor unpatriotic and does not make someone a violent extremist,” the Department of Homeland Security has gone out of its way to characterize adversaries of big government as potential domestic terrorists. The MIAC Report, admist a deluge of other training documents released by state and federal authorities (or leaked by whistleblowers), equates Ron Paul supporters, libertarians, people who display bumper stickers, people who own gold, or even people who fly a U.S. flag with radical race hate groups and terrorists. The MIAC report specifically describes supporters of presidential candidates Ron Paul, Chuck Baldwin, and Bob Barr as “militia” influenced terrorists and instructs the Missouri police to be on the lookout for supporters displaying bumper stickers and other paraphernalia associated with the Constitutional, Campaign for Liberty, and Libertarian parties. A recent DHS promotional video for its See Something, Say Something campaign also overwhelmingly portrayed white middle class Americans as the most likely terrorists. Bizarely, the vast majority of the people seen reporting them to authorities in the 10 minute clip were from ethnic minorities, a theme echoed in the introduction to the White House document which welcomes the “waves of immigrants” who have flocked to the United States. There seems little doubt that the Obama administration is attempting to marginalize its most fervent critics by characterizing them as potentially violent extremists, to the point where Tea Party lawmakers are now being labeled as terrorists by New York Times writers as well as Vice-President Joe Biden.  Indeed, numerous Democratic strategists have subtly invited a domestic terror attack blamed on anti-government extremists that President Obama could exploit to rescue his sinking approval ratings. Following Jared Lee Loughner’s shooting spree in Arizona back in January, Politico called on Obama to seize upon his “Oklahoma City moment,” adding that the attack presented a “critical opportunity” to “re-define the nation’s political debate,” a talking point endlessly repeated for weeks that merely became a euphemism for allowing Democrats to exploit the attack to silence critics of big government.

Article the role of “conspiracy theories” as a primary recruitment tool for terrorists. White House Targets Conspiracy Theorists As Terrorist Recruiters'Strategy for winning the war on terror ' says world contaminated, corrupted by misinformation Paul Joseph Watson/Prison Planet.com | September 7 2006A document cited by President Bush in his recent speech at the Capital Hilton Hotel on how to 'win the war on terror' cites conspiracies as one of the wellsprings of terrorism and threatens to "address" and "diminish" the problems they are causing the government in fulfilling their agenda. On Tuesday Bush referred to the strategy paper as "an unclassified version of the strategy we've been pursuing since September the 11th, 2001," that takes into account, "the changing nature of this enemy." The document says that terrorism springs from "subcultures of conspiracy and misinformation," and that "terrorists recruit more effectively from populations whose information about the world is contaminated by falsehoods and corrupted by conspiracy theories. The distortions keep alive grievances and filter out facts that would challenge popular prejudices and self-serving propaganda." The terminology echoes President Bush's speech (video below) to the UN General Assembly on November 10th 2001 in which he stated, "Let us never tolerate outrageous conspiracy theories concerning the attacks of September the 11th, malicious lies that attempt to shift the blame away from the terrorists themselves, away from the guilty." Bush Addresses the United Nations - tells the world no 911 discussions http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6K5M0xtxQVQThis is an outright threat to the 9/11 truth movement and is meant to have a chilling effect on freedom of speech. It is also a callous reminder that the administration that has been the progenitor of the most heinous and deliberate campaign to mislead and lie to its own people is so transfixed by its own hubris that it has the temerity to accuse others of propagating deceptive information. This is the same administration that deliberately included the Niger yellow cake fraud in a state of the union speech to sell a war - knowing that the information was completely bogus. How dare they threaten us with the very defining characteristic of their black legacy and equate us with terrorists? This is a direct assault on the alternative media and a continuation of the twilight zone rhetoric that saw the administration attempt to link its critics with Fascists and Hitler appeasers. The only fascists that should really concern us are not imaginary 'Blogofascists' or 'Islamofascists' but the Neo-Fascist slugs that occupy the White House and their cheerleading sycophants in the mainstream media and congress. This is by no means the first time political enemies of the state have been smeared as terrorist sympathizers.  Alex Jones' 2001 documentary film 9/11: The Road to Tyranny featured footage from a FEMA symposium given to firefighters and other emergency personnel in Kansas City in which it was stated that the founding fathers, Christians and homeschoolers were terrorists and should be treated with the utmost suspicion and brutality in times of national emergency. We have highlighted previous training manuals issues by state and federal government bodies which identify whole swathes of the population as potential terrorists. A Texas Department of Public Safety Criminal Law Enforcement pamphlet gives the public characteristics to identify terrorists that include buying baby formula, beer, wearing Levi jeans, carrying identifying documents like a drivers license and traveling with women or children. A Virginia training manual used to help state employees recognize terrorists lists anti-government and property rights activists as terrorists and includes binoculars, video cameras, pads and notebooks in a compendium of terrorist tools. Shortly after 9/11 a Phoenix FBI manual that was disseminated amongst federal employees at the end of the Clinton term caused waves on the Internet after it was revealed that potential terrorists included, "defenders of the US Constitution against federal government and the UN, " and individuals who "make numerous references to the US Constitution." Lawyers everywhere cowered in fear at being shipped off to Gitmo. In May we broke the exclusive of a nationwide FEMA program which is training Pastors and other religious representatives to become secret police enforcers who teach their congregations to "obey the government" in preparation for a declaration of martial law, property and firearm seizures, and forced relocation.

The most widely accepted connection with "conspiracy theorists" is terrorism. That's how they make us look. Even though we go mainly off fact. Personally I think the whole "monitoring social networks" for conspiracy theorists is s**t. They can shut down whatever they want, whenever they want. They want us to look like fools. They want us to try to rise up. They know we legally can't do anything anymore, and that if we tried, people would see us as extremists and call us crazy. As an avid liberatarian protester, I see it constantly. The only thing we could do that could *possibly* do damage is actually fight. An all out war. But I don't think anyone would stand up to be it's commander in chief. I don't know anything about war strategies outside of the board game stratego. [/ramble]

SUPREMEMASTER1 We're all either: 1. Mentally ill, 2. With the terrorists, or 3. A bunch of scam artists trying to make money off of DVD's. Make up your ******** mind.. Spontaneous explanation of Alex Jones: He's delusional, skitzo, paranoid, BUT at the same time he's deliberately, knowingly putting out bullshit and lies ON-PURPOSE, but at the same time -- SIMULTANEOUSLY -- the ONLY reason he's putting this information out in the first place is because he's mentally ill and believes in his delusions, -- but AT THE SAME TIME, he secretly, behind our backs, KNOWS that all of the information that he pretends to believe in is ACTUALLY all false, but at the same time he's still delusional, and above all, he's a terrorist. And he's SOOOOOOO mentally ill and insane that he's incapable of running a scam artist operation, but at the same time he's running the most GENIUS ******** scam artist operation I've ever seen in my life, and he's STILL not in jail or prison -- and plus he's a terrorist -- even MORE reason to put him in jail and prison, so WHY WAS HE NOT HAULED OFF BY THE AUTHORITIES A LONG ******** TIME AGO? This dangerous mentally ill scam artist terrorist is a threat to the government, so he should OBVIOUSLY be locked away for the good of the world. --He believes what he says because he's mentally ill, but knows that he's deliberately making s**t up to make money, and he's doing it in the name of terrorism...... And he simultaneously legitimately honestly believes everything he says (because he's mentally ill) but he's SIMULTANEOUSLY making all of this information up ON-PURPOSE to scam everybody. So he's honest about everything he says (cause he's actually believing in his own mentally ill delusions), but he knowingly makes up everything he says at the same time to scam everyone. So he's a terrorist psycho scam artist. Yeah, that makes perfect sense.

Captain Luke Trenk Its about to be real scary living in the US. How the hell did we.... or should i say, our parents, let it get this way? how powerful is complacency that it robs us of our true reason? a terrorist for defending our own constitution?!?!?! youve got be f**in kidding me! id like to say its all obama's and bush's fault, but no damn one in the govt is without the corruption, so you vote for one, you vote for all of them, and it continues and continues. Why this happens is because the past generations delegate solutions to the future generations, and future generations expect their elders to solve the problems..... So nothing gets done. Meanwhile the rich and productive do all the work and get their kids on it too. The poor and unproductive don't really do that, they just want stuff for free from the government. Few are willing to step up and be a patriot in a way that might get them viewed as a criminal. It's easy to choose the military and attack "terrorists" rather than to choose a court room and attack the IRS. Ironically if you shoot citizens who aren't terrorists you may be labeled as a hero, but if you shoot the chairmen of the IRS or Federal Reserve, you yourself are a terrorist. My strategy is to try to get behind the other end of the pipe where all the money flows from the tax payers to the tax collectors, whether as an IRS agent or Fed executive myself or something of that sort.... And hire soldiers to challenge and sue the IRS or Federal Reserve at the risk they might go to jail instead of me. But I will provide them with my money, my weapons, and my lawyers to back them in court. If executives can hide behind a veil and let others commit the crime, then it makes sense I should too.... The sad thing is, I would pay someone much better than the military pays a soldier to go die, and the person I pay would achieve all their financial goals and get a free government paid retirement (minimal security prison if house arrest even....) After say 10 year sentence, if that, then they get out of jail and never have to work a day of their life again because I gave them a financial oportunity to go to war, come out alive, and get taken care of for the rest of their life..... All paid by other people's tax dollars. The goal is to absolutely DESTROY the IRS and Federal Reserve system
