In reading most comment sections, from any political website, it is easy to pick out the NARC comments.
I was just watching the Spitzer/MSN video about how the FED is a big ponzi scheme run by a small group of thugs -
One of the comments, "Mike", commented: "Is this newsworthy?"
Really!?? Mike doesn't think a NON-government agency bankrupting America is NOT newsworthy?
Mike, is obviously working for the government and or bank... which is basically the same at this point in time.

Well, clearly there is a reason DHS was the source of several of these anonymous postings to the website.
Either there are DHS employees using State computers to post anonymous, offensive posts--which certainly has to be against DHS policy.
Or, DHS agents are creating such posts as a part of an assignment/mission.
But, why? What mission/assignment could they possibly be working on?
The newspaper removed the posts. It also reported that it had discovered others, dating to last year, that appeared to have come from computers affiliated with Homeland Security.

There is a side story to this. Perhaps even more sinister. The NYT's is tracking it's anonymous posters and lying about the anonymity.
Interesting from Journalists who insist on anonymous sources remaining anonymous.
I am a Border Patrol Agent and find it quite strange that a paper would give up that kind of information to the Feds on something so trivial. This paper should be banned by all of those interested in Free Speech.

I hadn't even thought of that perspective of this. You are absolutely spot-on...why is the DHS IP so detectable and traceable.
I would have assumed a tad more secrecy in their efforts.

Hmmm... does The Wayne County Star in Wolcott, NY routinely track the IP's of people that respond to articles?
Why would they?
Something smells fishy to me...
Like I said in my prior post it is part of the IP protocol.
It has to know the distant IP address to send you any data.

I really think we should have a permanent site titled "More SH## the administration did today".
Seriously, my shock level must be low (either that or the meds are kicking in) because I am no longer shocked, surprised, disgusted by what they do.

Keep in mind that this activity goes back to last year. So it's not linked with the current, or even the past administration. it has to do with an individual who works for DHS regardless of the current administration.

What if ATS were to reveal your identity because it saw an interesting article in something you said here. If you on your own reveal who you are then great, but if not?
If somebody says something you don't agree with then its OK to give out their identity when anonymity was promised? I think you have it backward.
Yes racists statements are wrong and yes they should not come from our government. That is atrocious. So is what this paper has done however.
Seems that you didnt read the story, popped off your mouth then realized you showed that you didnt read the article. You then correct yourself and again attack the office that exposed this. Never mind the fact that Fed Employees are using Fed Resources to push an agenda. Are you a flat out dumb ass?
