Homeland Security Monitoring Keywords on Social Networks

I wouldn't have bothered if I was them. anyone planning anything would probably use codewords. I mean is a terrorist really going to send an email. 'hey, abdul. Did you get the ricin so we can kill a bunch of americans in a terrorist attack? It's a very deadly nerve agent or something isn't it? We've got to be careful because the department of Homeland security and Center for Disease Control(CDC) will be monitoring the internet for us.
Pity Mustaffa got caught in that pipebomb incident. I hope you aren't eating any pork like a good muslim. Death to the infidels. Praise be to allah.'.

 

not to mention, what kind of a terrorist gets on facebook and declares his plans to the whole world prior to enacting them.

i really don't get this kind of strategy. all those 'keywords' are mostly used out of context of what DHS is monitoring them for. people use words like epidemic, assassination, anthrax, etc etc ad infinitum all the time and it has absolutely nothing to do with any kind of plan to attack anybody. all it does is create a misconception in the public that this sort of monitoring is okay by the government.

 

Haven't used FB ...
Actually I made an account and was to lazy to do anything so I never used it...

I'm gonna go on if I can remember my account info and copy and paste all that as my status.. Then put

"Hope you like this, fucks"


So if someone has the flu... They might be terrorists!!

COMPLETE BULLSHIT!!!

 

It doesn't say anything about Facebook in your quote and Facebook isn't a public website.

Also monitoring the public comment of the Huffington post sounds like a stupid waste of time.

 

yeah that's laughable. the human element seems to be worth nothing in that process since they deported those tourists over a couple of obvious jokes. it's worth only as much as the person doing the reviewing, and if they lack some brain cells in certain places the context doesn't matter.

 

Government monitoring of citizens isn't new or unique...

Homeland Security Monitoring Keywords on Social Networks

Homeland Security Tracks These Keywords on Twitter and Facebook


Social media and online news media are being monitored by the Department of Homeland Security. Now with the release of its manual, it's possible to see some of the key words the department searches for.

Carnivore, Einstein, Tempest, and Echelon

Carnivore and Echelon were apparently developed and implemented in the 1990s, long before 9/11/2001 and long before the current debate over wiretaps and domestic surveillance.

Much of the information on this page is obsolete by now, and the technology that was used has most likely been replaced by something more effective, with another name. But it is interesting to know that the federal government has been working on the idea of monitoring every electronic communication -- nationwide if not worldwide -- for at least 20 years

Carnivore / Echelon Trigger Words

The U.S. government is making it known that it can and does sift through all the data packets on the internet, if need be, using Carnivore and Echelon, hoping to find some terrorist's malicious email in the process.

What are those words that trigger Echelon?

 

This nation is becoming more and more communist I am becoming disgusted, I want to move to Canada or somewhere where my freedoms and rights 'guarenteed' by the constitution are actually enforced.

 

I thought Canada was getting just as bad or worse in some aspects... I don't know, I don't live there, but I haven't been reading good things lately.

 

I just figure with cannabis decriminlization i would have less things to worry about seeing that I am currently facing charges for possessing marijuana. I think canada is controlled by the u.s. anyway we are too close to them for them to be completely independent.

 

There are stories of a computer called eschlon , that monitors all phone , radio , internet , ect to look for key words . Lets say I call up some one telling them " I am killing time watching the president " or " I bought a 50 Kg bag of beans " . Now I did it my name and i.s.p. are on a terrorest list . desert rat

 

OH MY GOD...just reading those Special Words, and how freaking un-special they can be... watching out for "key words" is both obvious and stupid at the same time.

I noticed that Bomb (just plain bomb) was not noted, nor was dynamite.

That surprised me. Maybe I can help them. :2thumbsup:

 

If you send emails that look like a code it will drive them crazy. You can send random numbers . some thing like this 00000 02371 22098 99001 88543 76320 88675 99999 desert rat

 

When I was active in amateur radio ("ham" radio), I recall that one of the rules the FCC laid out was that you could not "encode" anything, so that it could not be read and understood by the casual listener. The only "code" that was allowed was International Morse Code, which anyone who reads Morse Code can understand. In other words, you could not use amateur radio to send secret messages, under threat of prosecution.

The Feds always want to know "what you did last summer". No secrets allowed. That's what bothers them about the internet,,freedom, and the right to privacy. Messages over the internet can be encrypted well enough that they can't be read without the right key.

 

Just think what might happen if someone, dropping his hot girlfriend off at the airport for a plane flight, shouts out "Baby, you're the BOMB!!"

 

He'd be arrested, pinned down, and forced to watch as his girlfriend endures an official molestation pat down at the hands of TSA agents.

 

TSa wants to rape & molest....well! We could always see how THEY like getting ass-raped by a horse in front of their family, then.

Problem is, they'd likely ask their little children to join them & they'd enjoy it.

 

I think the idea is the BOMB! Great way to get their ears open to some rational lines of thinking eh?

We should call a Jihad on high fuel prices and use social networking sites to push for energy reform... .

 

As a kid (60s 70s) there was what was called a Spanish number station on short wave radio. It was just numbers in Spanish . They used radio direction finding to trace to a radio Havana station on Cuba , but I dont know if they ever knew if it was a true message or just random numbers. Maby to piss some one off , or give code breakers a some thing to do. desert rat

 

Lmao! Thats hilarious but so true. The tsa pats down regardless I believe so whether you say bomb or not you will be molested. Terrorists don't even exist, they exist because our government occupies their land and they want it back.
