down the road to Nazi Germany?
Under the National Operations Center (NOC)’s Media Monitoring Initiative that came out of DHS headquarters in November, Washington has the written permission to retain data on users of social media and online networking platforms.
Specifically, the DHS announced the NCO and its Office of Operations Coordination and Planning (OPS) can collect personal information from news anchors, journalists, reporters or anyone who may use “traditional and/or social media in real time to keep their audience situationally aware and informed.”

Good post.
Stay safe (and flood-free) down there.
I was :O when I saw it - They have Michael Berry on 740 in the am, so I am not sure if GB is still on, but that story I got through Firewire - The Blaze. Get some interesting stuff in the daily emails there, between them & Human Events, although HE sends junk mail too. we're schlepping down that horse-apple covered path, no primroses found.
