Now, what in the world would Janet "Big Sis" Napolitano, the very incompetent head of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and/or her DHS underlings be doing looking at this blog, which concerns itself with exposing evil in our world, in its many different forms?
It was Ms. Napolitano, you may or may not recall, who forcefully declared that "The system worked", almost immediately after the Nigerian radical muslim terrorist Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab ("the underwear bomber") was apprehended - but only because of the courageous actions of some very alert civilian passengers who were onboard Northwest Airlines Flight 253, which was en route from Amsterdam to Detroit, Michigan on December 25, 2009.
Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab attempted to destroy a commercial aircraft and murder the hundreds of innocent civilians onboard on Christmas Day, 2009, when he furiously tried to detonate the explosive mixture of Pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) with Triacetone triperoxide (TAPN) and other ingredients that he had packed into his underpants before boarding the plane.
The lives of everyone aboard Flight 253, including the terrorist's, were saved only because of the courage of the more alert passengers, primarily a very brave man from the Netherlands, Jasper Schuringa, a Dutch film director, who smelled a burning odor and saw smoke in the cabin of the aircraft, and then took Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab down by force, after which flight attendants used fire extinguishers to put out the flames, stopping the chemical reaction of the binary explosives that was already in progress.
Yet, Ms. Napolitano proudly marched out in front of the mass media cameras and microphones and told all of us that, "The system worked."
Well, let's do some critical thinking about that comment for just a few minutes, shall we?
•Abdulmutallab’s father, a retired Nigerian banker (who had also run their defense industry) warned US embassy officials of his son’s dangerous behavior; this advance warning was corroborated with other US intelligence agencies.
•Abdulmutallab’s visa to the US was never withdrawn, even though he was on a "terrorist watchlist." This would have made his trip impossible, unless protocol was ignored by someone. Abdulmutallab traveled alone, without a passport, paid with cash for a last minute ticket for a multi-stop international flight - and carried no luggage with him.
•Flying from Nigeria, Abdulmutallab entered the Netherlands without passing through customs; impossible to do without assistance from an intelligence agency.
•At the Amsterdam airport, Abdulmutallab was assisted by a man appearing to be Indian, who claimed Abdulmutallab was a Sudanese refugee with no passport - he would not have been allowed to enter the EU without a passport through customs.
Stark Contrast
In contrast, the following is the DHS enemies list, which was offered by Napolitano very early in the Obama Administration, outlining their priorities about who they perceived to be the greatest threats - obviously not threats to the United States of America - but to themselves, as would-be dictators.
"Rightwing extremism in the United States can be broadly divided into those groups, movements, and adherents that are primarily hate-oriented (based on hatred of particular religious, racial or ethnic groups), and those that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration."
"Rightwing extremists are harnessing this historical election as a recruitment tool. Many rightwing extremists are antagonistic toward the new presidential administration and its perceived stance on a range of issues, including immigration and citizenship, the expansion of social programs to minorities, and restrictions on firearms ownership and use. Rightwing extremists are increasingly galvanized by these concerns and leverage them as drivers for recruitment. From the 2008 election timeframe to the present, rightwing extremists have capitalized on related racial and political prejudices in expanded propaganda campaigns, thereby reaching out to a wider audience of potential sympathizers."
"Rightwing extremist chatter on the Internet continues to focus on the economy, the perceived loss of U.S. jobs in the manufacturing and construction sectors, and home foreclosures. Anti-Semitic extremists attribute these losses to a deliberate conspiracy conducted by a cabal of Jewish “financial elites.” These “accusatory” tactics are employed to draw new recruits into rightwing extremist groups and further radicalize those already subscribing to extremist beliefs. DHS/I&A assesses this trend is likely to accelerate if the economy is perceived to worsen."
"DHS/I&A assesses that rightwing extremists will attempt to recruit and radicalize returning veterans in order to exploit their skills and knowledge derived from military training and combat. These skills and knowledge have the potential to boost the capabilities of extremists—including lone wolves or small terrorist cells—to carry out violence. The willingness of a small percentage of military personnel to join extremist groups during the 1990s because they were disgruntled, disillusioned, or suffering from the psychological effects of war is being replicated today."
"DHS/I&A will be working with its state and local partners over the next several months to ascertain with greater regional specificity the rise in rightwing extremist activity in the United States, with a particular emphasis on the political, economic, and social factors that drive rightwing extremist radicalization."

Final Thoughts
Don't you feel so much safer now, knowing that a government agency with a massive budget like DHS can allow criminal terrorist acts like the Christmas Day 2009 airline bombing to occur and was only stopped because of some brave civilian passengers - yet DHS employees somehow have the time to spend looking at blogs like this one in the middle of a work day??
You may have also noticed in the statcounter report picture above that they (DHS) are using the web browser Rippers 0 , apparently to capture all of the site content - no doubt for future analysis - perhaps manipulation, falsification after the fact, etc.
Who knows, maybe they just find it entertaining. Either way, we are not amused, so get back to work, you idiots!
You have a very serious and important job to do for this great nation, and in case you haven't heard yet - your track record so far is NOT GOOD.
UPDATE: Investigations Find ‘Unprecedented’ Political Review of FOIA Requests by Homeland Security Department
Washington (CNSNews.com) – A political review of open records requests smacks of “Nixonian” tactics by the Department of Homeland Security, House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) said Thursday.
Two investigations found that Freedom of Information Act requests sent to the DHS were reviewed by Obama administration political appointees.
“Through the course of an eight-month investigation, the committee has learned that political staff under the DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano have corrupted the agency’s FOIA compliance procedures, exerted unlawful political pressure on FOIA compliance officers, and undermined the federal government’s accountability to the American people,” Issa said.
“These events have nurtured a fragile – and at times hostile – work environment that does not serve to fulfill the department’s primary mission to secure the nation from the many threats we face,” he added.
The department’s Office of Inspector General found that many records requests were filtered through Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano’s office."

Sounds just like the old school KGB style of intimidation and police state tactics, doesn't it?
