Homeland Security's list of monitored sites and terms

Homeland Security has posted a list of monitored web sites and social networking services that they are monitoring for "situational awareness".

I have a copy of the whole 23-page PDF in case the link somehow gets broken.

Remember the flap about Carnivore and such a few years back? You might want to use some of those words in your communications, so DHS doesn't feel like they are wasting their time...

Here's the appendices with the web sites and trigger words:
 

APPENDIX A

This is a representative list of sites that the NOC will start to monitor in order to provide situational awareness and establish a common operating picture under this Initiative.

One day, we will all be disabled

If the EEOC keeps up like this, sooner or later everyone will have some sort of disability - even if it's an inability to understand government bureaucrat's reasoning...

EEOC Says High School Drop Outs Are Disabled

When the government passed the ADA, the Americans with Disabilities Act, in 1990, most people thought the new laws would protect people with physical disabilities from employment discrimination. The good intentions of some have gone bad.

Disability is defined by the ADA as “a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits a major life activity.” The determination of whether any particular condition is considered a disability is made on a case by case basis. Certain specific conditions are excluded as disabilities, such as current substance abuse and visual impairment which is correctable by prescription lenses.

Ronald Reagan was trapped by similar language when he signed California’s law outlawing abortion in 1968. It included exceptions based on “health.” He was assured that the “health exceptions” were physical exceptions like the endangerment of the mother during childbirth which almost never happens. This exception created a hole in the law big enough to drive a truck through. As a 1976 presidential candidate, Reagan said of his signing the California abortion bill, “I wouldn’t make the same mistake again” and added that he did “more soul searching and studying on the subject than anything else in my eight years” as governor.

The “original intent” of the the ADA was to create civil rights  protections for people with permanent disabilities. Critics of the ADA believed the law was made purposefully vague so that it could be expanded at will. Of course, this is true of all laws. On signing the measure, calm the fears of critics, Pres. George H. W. Bush said:

I know there may have been concerns that the ADA may be too vague or too costly, or may lead endlessly to litigation. But I want to reassure you right now that my administration and the United States Congress have carefully crafted this Act. We’ve all been determined to ensure that it gives flexibility, particularly in terms of the timetable of implementation; and we’ve been committed to containing the costs that may be incurred…. Let the shameful wall of exclusion finally come tumbling down.

Now we learn that the definition of “disability” has expanded beyond what its original framers ever could have imagined. The EEOC, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, is attempting to expand the meaning of “mental impairment” based on the provision found in the ADA legislation.

A letter from the EEOC is warning employers that requiring a high school diploma from a job applicant might violate the Americans with Disabilities Act. “The ‘informal discussion letter’ from the EEOC said an employer’s requirement of a high school diploma, long a standard criterion for screening potential employees, must be ‘job-related for the position in question and consistent with business necessity.’”

A “learning disability” — based on the “D” in ADA — may now be covered under the law. So some 9th-grade dropout who applies for a job and doesn’t get it because he doesn’t have a high school diploma or a GED could sue the company because of his claim that the reason he didn’t graduate from high school was due to a learning disability.

Do you know how nuts this is? It doesn’t stop at high school. What if a graduate from high school is denied entry into the college of his choice because of his grades? He counters that his law grades were the result of a learning disability. What if he flunks out of college? Could he file a claim with the EEOC and argue that he was discriminated against because of his learning disability?

A perfect example of why I think there ought to be a Constitutional amendment that states simply: "CONGRESS SHALL MAKE NO LAW"...

Occupy takes on the Rose Parade

At Weasel Zippers:



They got zero coverage on TV that I have seen, so far.

I particularly liked the guy in the Newt Gingrich head with the Harley T-shirt.

In case you needed proof

Watts Up With That replicates a faked experiment from Algore's his 24-hour warm-a-thon that aired recently, and proves that he LIES like a rug.

Casper Wy Gun Banning Politicians Are At It Again

Wyoming --(Ammoland.com)- There will always be politicians who persistently work to eliminate your rights.

So it should come as no surprise that the Gun Control Cabal in Casper city government is at it again.
Within days of pushing and implementing a gun ban at city hall the Casper council has proven they will do and say anything to squash the rights of lawful gun owners.

Now the council is pushing for a law that forces citizens to be entered into a – National Facial Recognition Database -- upon lawfully selling or pawning a firearm to a local pawn shop/firearms dealer.

Their plan is to partner with a private company that specializes in biometric identification.
This is just part of a larger scheme -- these so called private entities – are being used to bypass constitutional protections that government must usually comply with.

These well funded “private sector” biometric database operations have popped up all over the country due to exorbitant funding from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

It should also be noted that the entity Casper intends to enter into agreement with – LeadsOnline – has provided “grants” on a national basis to hundreds of municipalities helping to install their data capturing systems.

As usual this big government behavior of –giving freebies– occurs when tax dollars are involved.
Of course further investigation revealed that the City of Casper has promised to implement this new biometric identification system at zero cost to the pawn/gun dealers.

Smell fishy yet?

Even more troubling –this could be “test run” before pushing for similar biometric identification in all gun stores or even all private property exchange including gold and silver.

Remember these politicians want you to believe they support your gun rights–but their actions prove otherwise.

And when you aren’t watching they are attempting to mandate systematic participation in a National I.D. system that would place lawful gun owner’s faces, names, and addresses in a biometric facial recognition network accessible only to government officials.

You and I know about these workings all to well…Lawmakers and their enforcers that would just assume to swiftly do away with your right to keep and bear arms.

Under these carefully crafted schemes you have no control over your data, and anti-gun Attorney General Eric Holder would have instant access just because you are a lawful gun owner.

Like you I have heard enough flimsy excuses and slick lawyer arguments–telling us to ignore the constitution because gun control is for our own good.

Call and email the “Republicans” that ALL voted YES on this dangerous mandate, tell them you will not forget about their actions if this becomes law.
