Relax, folks!

Simon has been very gracious in allowing the DHS a pilot site, one of the first few, in which DHS may monitor messages on boards in plain view.
We've all known that joint governments of the U.S., Britain and Australia have been using monitoring stations with which to intercept all transmited commo, we just thought it was directed against us. Fact is, our governments have been following this threat from the Islamic-controlled nations since the first Gulf War.

This monitoring out in the open is in no way meant to stifle honest and legitimate debate and open discussion. The fact that there are those that wish ill-will on Americans, however, is known. Not all that wish ill-will on our wives and children are middle eastern people, some are ill-informed westerners that have no esteem for the liberties they enjoy. Some are anarchists that look forward to mahem and destruction. Either way, they are dangerous to the decent people and a threat to the constitution under which they run for cover.
We here at ATS are in no danger if we pose no danger. Please, don't get so distracted by the billboards that you miss the scenery. Everything is just fine. I promise you. You've trusted me for years now, don't lose your trust in me now.
Sincerely,
Thomas Crowne

Your a traitor ... You've lost site in what the constitution mean's. This, is unconstitutional. They have no right to do this. We never voted for this to happen.

There is no for the people, BY THE PEOPLE anymore. It's just them now. How can you sit their and know that this is going on and be ok with it? I know I don't pose much of a threat ... But why should I still be monitored? This isn't right .... We all know it.

Why Advertise the fact that you are a GRASS and that HS are monitoring this site?
The way that this has been done and at this time is no less than STUPID!!

This is how they work

They create a problem for which there is an outcry from the public. The public demands an answer and a swift resolution to the problem and boom, laws are passed that take away our basic liberties and rights.

Thomas, your blind. You say we should be grateful for our liberties we have here? Are you talking about the liberties that are slowly being stripped away from us?

This is what happened. People like you will blame those "Islamic controlled countries" for everything bad that will happen in USA. No salt? Blame those Muslim terrorists!

Thanks to people like you, everytime we post we have to take into consideration that a search warrant may be being signed to raid our homes.

LOL!!!!

C'mon guys.. this is an awesome april fool joke hehe... who in their right mind would designate thomas crowne lol! Here's inside info and take for what it's worth... Homeland Security uses their own folks (some are migrating from other branches). The mod's are playing on your paranoi.. c'mon.. LOL!!!!!

Good one hehe

SIMON

Don't you realise that this is their best way to get rid of this site?
Destroy it from within!!
If there were people on this site that the US gov were interested in, they are long gone now.
Don't commit this site to SUICIDE!!

Look, I am by the people and am for the people. I am one of us. So is Joe. We are all in this together. We can't be weak, they prey upon weakness.
Isn't that right, Illuminati? The Islamic mega-cult spins lies, feigns honesty and then attacks sappy, sentimental weakness.
I know who you are. We know who you are. You have been rooted out. I already discussed it with Joe, the South Florida office is already on it.

Look, guys, the whole idea is to protect the nation so that there'll be a nation. If we fall, don't forget that our constitution falls with us. Tell me, where else in the world is those liberties we hold so dear so well protected and preserved? In the Middle East? Think about who is the enemy and who is the good guy. You're turning on the good guy because he is strong enough to hold it all together for the generations to come.

It'll only be for a couple of years. How long was the revolutionary struggle?

As I have posted twice already but it keeps getting deleted, what is the big deal? If you have nothing to hide then what are you worried about? There is no freedom of speech or expression being violated, we can still continue our debates like adults the way we used to. Why have we let this divide us so much, all I've heard all day is complaining and name calling, it is very immature and childish. I just dont get it.

I warned ya that ATS was going a little cookoo today P.A.

Thomas, your for no one other than your own twisted extreme right agenda.

Everyone must conform with how you see things.

Beware. ye reap what ye sow.


DO NOT DELETE MY POSTS THOMAS

There's no need to conform, just do not destroy or support those who seek our destruction, that's all.

Come on. How many more people have to jump from the 60th story and fall to their deaths rather than burn to a crisp or ride a dying skyscraper to the ground before you wake up?

How many other teenage Iraqi girls have to be hanged from a lamp post before you figure who the demon is and who is actually guiding the hand of George Bush?

Thomas, you can't bully me. You don't scare me. Since when has Illmatic67 been scared to speak his mind? NEVER.

You think a blue little banner is going to stop me from speaking my mind? No! And if you really think so then you're in the wrong place. Come on Thomas, we've been going at it for almost 2 years, you should know that I've never been afraid to say what's on my mind at any given time of day.

You can call South Florida offices all you want. You know how many times people here have said to me that they would "alert the authorities" Well Thomas, I'm still here, criticizing this government till I get buried six feet.

I'm sorry to hear your defiance, Illuminati. This isn't a time to be the tough guy with half the awareness. Three seperate but loosely unified terrorist organizations, all Islamic as most sensible people have figured, have declared Jihad on the continental U.S. and more have promised to strike U.S. interests abroad. These guys are serious, and so is Tom Ridge. Joe reports to one level below Ridge. I'm serious that you are on the map now. Try getting off it.

Thomas, there's something wrong with the way your thinking. Did they microwave or brainwash you? Our rights are being taken away. Why do you think it's ok?

I'm gonna fight this Thomas and anyone who wants to join me, is welcome. ATS may be the first to be monitored by HS, but ATS is gonna be the first to do a online protest against HS. Who is ready to help organize this protest, anyone have the guts to stand behind their words.

I know your all hoping it's not a hoax.. but it is.. ok? sheesh.

back off the paranoia

Thomas flipped to draw attention to himself.. it's whats called a lead up.

Thomas , you're just a pawn to DHS. I hope your getting some kind of pay from them because if you're not you're stupid. I can't believe you'd actually bring them here, that defines your blinding patriotism for this country.

Ycon, you know I'm with you.

Ycon, every time free nations went to war they've had to tighten the belt and restrict liberties--temporarily!!!!

Have we gotten so spoiled we aren't willing to sacrifice for the Homeland?

How are our rights being taken away? What has changed other than someone keeping an eye on things in case our security is at risk? Why does everyone feel that their freedom of speech and/or expression is being violated?

Why Advertise the fact that HS are monitoring this site?

PA, by them being here, people with real info won't come. That is taking away our freedom of speech.
