    Ok first, the goverment can obtain the information they want about where you live like that. Its no sweat for them. If you thought they couldn't consider yourself no longer ignorant. If you dont believe it, then you moved from ignorant down to stupid. Next, you cant get busted for saying you smoke weed because it could be a lie and their not gonna spend all that money on a possible marijuana charge that they cant prove without an illegal drug test. Threatening the president however is a feloney and a terroristic threat. Your making plans. Thus its illegal.

    PS: This thread sucks, you friggen moron. Like a goverment official is gonna care if a 15 year old girl says fuck off. If anything they'll laugh.

    haha, you beat me to it DarkLunacy.

    First off its called an IP address, its with you right now, everyone, registered or not can view it, it gives away your location, operating system, what browser your using, and with a little more snooping, they can find out your name, it doesn't take an eliete government agent to do this, any kid with a computer and a half hour can figure it out.

    Secondly, its called delusions of grandeur, the government doesn't care about you at all until your old enough to vote, join the military, or you commit a crime. The governement isnt watching your every move, and posting on this message board doesn't make you counter culture or a threat.

    The CIA doesn't give a crap about this site, and anyone who says otherwise is at best, an idiot.

    F.B.I. Goes Knocking for Political Troublemakers

    August 16, 2004
    By ERIC LICHTBLAU





    Correction Appended

    WASHINGTON, Aug. 15 - The Federal Bureau of Investigation
    has been questioning political demonstrators across the
    country, and in rare cases even subpoenaing them, in an
    aggressive effort to forestall what officials say could be
    violent and disruptive protests at the Republican National
    Convention in New York.

    F.B.I. officials are urging agents to canvass their
    communities for information about planned disruptions aimed
    at the convention and other coming political events, and
    they say they have developed a list of people who they
    think may have information about possible violence. They
    say the inquiries, which began last month before the
    Democratic convention in Boston, are focused solely on
    possible crimes, not on dissent, at major political events.


    But some people contacted by the F.B.I. say they are
    mystified by the bureau's interest and felt harassed by
    questions about their political plans.

    "The message I took from it," said Sarah Bardwell, 21, an
    intern at a Denver antiwar group who was visited by six
    investigators a few weeks ago, "was that they were trying
    to intimidate us into not going to any protests and to let
    us know that, 'hey, we're watching you.' ''

    The unusual initiative comes after the Justice Department,
    in a previously undisclosed legal opinion, gave its
    blessing to controversial tactics used last year by the
    F.B.I in urging local police departments to report
    suspicious activity at political and antiwar demonstrations
    to counterterrorism squads. The F.B.I. bulletins that
    relayed the request for help detailed tactics used by
    demonstrators - everything from violent resistance to
    Internet fund-raising and recruitment.

    In an internal complaint, an F.B.I. employee charged that
    the bulletins improperly blurred the line between lawfully
    protected speech and illegal activity. But the Justice
    Department's Office of Legal Counsel, in a five-page
    internal analysis obtained by The New York Times,
    disagreed.

    The office, which also made headlines in June in an opinion
    - since disavowed - that authorized the use of torture
    against terrorism suspects in some circumstances, said any
    First Amendment impact posed by the F.B.I.'s monitoring of
    the political protests was negligible and constitutional.

    The opinion said: "Given the limited nature of such public
    monitoring, any possible 'chilling' effect caused by the
    bulletins would be quite minimal and substantially
    outweighed by the public interest in maintaining safety and
    order during large-scale demonstrations."

    Those same concerns are now central to the vigorous efforts
    by the F.B.I. to identify possible disruptions by
    anarchists, violent demonstrators and others at the
    Republican National Convention, which begins Aug. 30 and is
    expected to draw hundreds of thousands of protesters.

    In the last few weeks, beginning before the Democratic
    convention, F.B.I. counterterrorism agents and other
    federal and local officers have sought to interview dozens
    of people in at least six states, including past protesters
    and their friends and family members, about possible
    violence at the two conventions. In addition, three young
    men in Missouri said they were trailed by federal agents
    for several days and subpoenaed to testify before a federal
    grand jury last month, forcing them to cancel their trip to
    Boston to take part in a protest there that same day.

    Interrogations have generally covered the same three
    questions, according to some of those questioned and their
    lawyers: were demonstrators planning violence or other
    disruptions, did they know anyone who was, and did they
    realize it was a crime to withhold such information.

    A handful of protesters at the Boston convention were
    arrested but there were no major disruptions. Concerns have
    risen for the Republican convention, however, because of
    antiwar demonstrations directed at President Bush and
    because of New York City's global prominence.

    With the F.B.I. given more authority after the Sept. 11
    attacks to monitor public events, the tensions over the
    convention protests, coupled with the Justice Department's
    own legal analysis of such monitoring, reflect the fine
    line between protecting national security in an age of
    terrorism and discouraging political expression.

    F.B.I. officials, mindful of the bureau's abuses in the
    1960's and 1970's monitoring political dissidents like the
    Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., say they are confident
    their agents have not crossed that line in the lead-up to
    the conventions.

    "The F.B.I. isn't in the business of chilling anyone's
    First Amendment rights," said Joe Parris, a bureau
    spokesman in Washington. "But criminal behavior isn't
    covered by the First Amendment. What we're concerned about
    are injuries to convention participants, injuries to
    citizens, injuries to police and first responders."

    F.B.I. officials would not say how many people had been
    interviewed in recent weeks, how they were identified or
    what spurred the bureau's interest.

    They said the initiative was part of a broader, nationwide
    effort to follow any leads pointing to possible violence or
    illegal disruptions in connection with the political
    conventions, presidential debates or the November election,
    which come at a time of heightened concern about a possible
    terrorist attack.

    F.B.I. officials in Washington have urged field offices
    around the country in recent weeks to redouble their
    efforts to interview sources and gather information that
    might help to detect criminal plots. The only lead to
    emerge publicly resulted in a warning to authorities before
    the Boston convention that anarchists or other domestic
    groups might bomb news vans there. It is not clear whether
    there was an actual plot.

    The individuals visited in recent weeks "are people that we
    identified that could reasonably be expected to have
    knowledge of such plans and plots if they existed," Mr.
    Parris said.

    "We vetted down a list and went out and knocked on doors
    and had a laundry list of questions to ask about possible
    criminal behavior," he added. "No one was dragged from
    their homes and put under bright lights. The interviewees
    were free to talk to us or close the door in our faces."

    But civil rights advocates argued that the visits amounted
    to harassment. They said they saw the interrogations as
    part of a pattern of increasingly aggressive tactics by
    federal investigators in combating domestic terrorism. In
    an episode in February in Iowa, federal prosecutors
    subpoenaed Drake University for records on the sponsor of a
    campus antiwar forum. The demand was dropped after a
    community outcry.

    Protest leaders and civil rights advocates who have
    monitored the recent interrogations said they believed at
    least 40 or 50 people, and perhaps many more, had been
    contacted by federal agents about demonstration plans and
    possible violence surrounding the conventions and other
    political events.

    "This kind of pressure has a real chilling effect on
    perfectly legitimate political activity," said Mark
    Silverstein, legal director for the American Civil
    Liberties Union of Colorado, where two groups of political
    activists in Denver and a third in Fort Collins were
    visited by the F.B.I. "People are going to be afraid to go
    to a demonstration or even sign a petition if they
    justifiably believe that will result in your having an
    F.B.I. file opened on you."

    The issue is a particularly sensitive one in Denver, where
    the police agreed last year to restrictions on local
    intelligence-gathering operations after it was disclosed
    that the police had kept files on some 3,000 people and 200
    groups involved in protests.

    But the inquiries have stirred opposition elsewhere as
    well.

    In New York, federal agents recently questioned a man whose
    neighbor reported he had made threatening comments against
    the president. He and a lawyer, Jeffrey Fogel, agreed to
    talk to the Secret Service, denying the accusation and
    blaming it on a feud with the neighbor. But when agents
    started to question the man about his political
    affiliations and whether he planned to attend convention
    protests, "that's when I said no, no, no, we're not going
    to answer those kinds of questions," said Mr. Fogel, who is
    legal director for the Center for Constitutional Rights in
    New York.

    In the case of the three young men subpoenaed in Missouri,
    Denise Lieberman, legal director for the American Civil
    Liberties Union in St. Louis, which is representing them,
    said they scrapped plans to attend both the Boston and the
    New York conventions after they were questioned about
    possible violence.

    The men are all in their early 20's, Ms. Lieberman said,
    but she would not identify them.

    All three have taken part in past protests over American
    foreign policy and in planning meetings for convention
    demonstrations. She said two of them were arrested before
    on misdemeanor charges for what she described as minor
    civil disobedience at protests.

    Prosecutors have now informed the men that they are targets
    of a domestic terrorism investigation, Ms. Lieberman said,
    but have not disclosed the basis for their suspicions.
    "They won't tell me," she said.

    Federal officials in St. Louis and Washington declined to
    comment on the case. Ms. Lieberman insisted that the men
    "didn't have any plans to participate in the violence, but
    what's so disturbing about all this is the pre-emptive
    nature - stopping them from participating in a protest
    before anything even happened."

    The three men "were really shaken and frightened by all
    this," she said, "and they got the message loud and clear
    that if you make plans to go to a protest, you could be
    subject to arrest or a visit from the F.B.I."

    A front-page article yesterday about efforts by the F.B.I.
    to interview prospective political demonstrators in advance
    of the Republican National Convention in New York
    misidentified the Justice Department office that found the
    bureau's monitoring of previous protests to be
    constitutional. It is the Office of Legal Counsel, not of
    Legal Policy. A caption with a picture of four Denver
    residents who were questioned in the effort referred
    incorrectly to two of them in some copies. Sarah Graves,
    not Christopher Riederer, is the housemate of Sarah
    Bardwell.

    This thread is ridiculous, I was just gonna leave it and let y'all carry on pretending people in government are seriously concerned about your brilliant minds and assisination threats. Then I checked that joke you posted, and it wasn't funny, which for some reason compelled me to return.

    Sounds to me like this anti-bush education you're getting yourself is coming along nicely. I can't stand the dumb fuck either. But it seems you've missed one crucial lesson which is; Don't Believe Everything You Read!

    Especially in the American media! In fact I can't believe you were actually pleased that fellow protestors were getting shit by these arsehole agents, just because it may prove they're after you too.
