First off, just in case anyone doesn't know, a prepper is someone preparing for the collapse of our country. There are several types of collapses that are envisioned: a global or national pandemic, a government take over of all aspect of daily life (almost too late for this one anyway), a global or national economic collapse, a severe and crippling natural disaster, and so on.
Apparently, the FBI and Homeland security think it is suspicious to stockpile supplies for a collapse. ======== Visitors to the popular prepping website SurvivalBlog.com were advised today that the FBI was tracking a number of its users through the use of tracking cookies. According to an examination of their server logs, SurvivalBlog.com claims that the FBI used Tracking cookies on a number of their readers over a 4 month period late last year. This seems to be another example, in a long string of incidents, where the Federal government has been caught targeting Preppers. SurvivalBlog.coms message read: >From August of 2011 to November of 2011, the FBI secretly redirected the web traffic of more than 10% of SurvivalBlogs US visitors through CJIS, their sprawling data center situated on 900 acres, 10 miles from Clarksburg, West Virginia. There, the Feebees surreptitiously collected the IP addresses of SurvivalBlogs site visitors. In all, 4,906 of 35,494 selected connections ended up going to or through the FBI servers. Just out of curiosity I checked our analytics this morning and discovered that Homeland Security seems to be a fan of our site. If you look at the graphic below you can see that Homeland Security has visited our site on numerous occasions over the last couple of months. Interestingly a number of those visits came directly from SurvivalBlog.com showing that Homeland Security seems to be monitoring a number of prepping sites. I applaud SurvivalBlog for bringing this information to its readers! ===== From: http://blog.alexanderhiggins.com/2012/03/22/fbi-homeland-security-caught-spying-visitors-prepper-sites-102321/ It appears that the sites used google analytics to do the back tracking. Lots of links on this: https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ix=seb&ie=UTF-8&ion=1#hl=en&sclient=psy-ab&q=fbi+homeland+security+prepper+&oq=fbi+homeland+security+prepper+&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&gs_l=serp.3...7201l15634l1l15980l30l19l0l11l11l0l180l1640l14j5l30l0.frgbld.&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.r_qf .,cf.osb&fp=bcd65d5cec977fbd&ix=seb&ion=1&biw=960&bih=985 Before you say, "Who cares? It's just a bunch of kooks." ask yourself if they are doing the same for file sharing sites, political sites, religious sites, and candidate sites? J - Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long. - Ron Paul ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:348982 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
