That lady who had cops show up at her door because she researched pressure cookers? Turns out she’s pretty well known in certain circles. And not as a terrorist.
…the first successful American counterattack in the Terror War was a passenger revolt led by Todd Beamer aboard United Airlines Flight 93. The Shoe Bomber was stopped by passengers, too. Meanwhile, the TSA sticks its fists up our collective rectums on a continuing basis and has yet to stop a single terrorist. And now we have some task force idiots showing up at Michele Catalano’s door because of some Google searches the Feds somehow got a hold of.
It’s undeniably clear now that the best defense against terror is an aroused and alert citizenry, and that the surest route to dumbassery is to give the Feds the power to spy on its own people.
I wonder if this was not as much to intimidate the couple targeted, but to intimidate the rest of us? Low key so the outcry won’t be as much, but obvious enough so it will get widespread internet coverage. The populace (as if we needed it) have been put on formal notice that they can see what you are doing, and will take action as needed.
Notice that ever since Mr. Snowden blew the whistle on these government ass clowns, they have started openly showing up at people’s homes to talk to them about their web surfing habits?
Yeah, and I don’t think it was just a coincidence they picked a well-known blogger either.
What shit stains.
