OH, CANADA! FEDS TO MONITOR SOCIAL MEDIA ROUND-THE-CLOCK

ED Noor: Well, Canadians, consider yourself FORMALLY warned of the dangers of “thought crimes” now in the Great White North, once home of the free. It is disheartening to watch the citizens of our once proud country pay absolutely no attention as their rights shrivel up and vapourize under the Noahyde government of the traitor Stephen Harper. 

Be forewarned, dear Reader, that it is quite possible one morning you might visit this blog and find it gone. Why? Because it is chock full of the things they do not want known out there. With almost 6000 entries into this thing, I cannot tell you how many times I have hit the “Publish” button wondering if this might be “the one” but so far, like many others, luck has been with me. But for how long?  If ever any of them searched the archives they would find much material that has other Canadians tried up in the courts fighting for their rights, such as Arthur Topham of Radical Press.

You can bet your sweet bippy that behind this lie the advocates of the B’nai B’rith and its splinter groups; before long “anti-semitism” and the gay agenda will be front and centre of these Zionist spawned infringements.

A week after the Boston Marathon event, a young couple were visited by a full team of paramilitary who went through their home. Why? It seemed SHE had gone on line to purchase a pressure cooker. He, at work, had browsed a hiking company for a new backpack. Things were handled without accident, but that was enough to have them visited. According to the officers involved, this sort of thing happens ALL THE TIME in the US. 

So, here we go Canada. Forget your antiquated concept of freedom of thought and speech. Well, you can think, just don’t say it! Face it, Canada is NOT the land of free speech ~ and now they have come right out and TOLD even those of you who doubted it before.

ED Noor: EXCUSE ME? This Muslim must be one of the mythological powerful Muslims who owns Hollywood and Washington DC according to the Zionist media. Gosh, Shariah is coming! Why this bugaboo when the Noahydes are already more or less in place and now in the early stages of being enforced?

The federal government has tendered a media monitoring contract for continuous monitoring of social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter. (Joerg Koch/Associated Press

Big Brother is watching you ~ on just about every social-media platform you can imagine.

Tweets, public Facebook posts and YouTube videos could soon be subject to round-the-clock scrutiny by the federal government, a procurement document posted this week by Public Works and Government Services Canada suggests.

Welcome to media monitoring in the 21st century, when simply leafing through a stack of newspapers in the morning is about as antiquated as, well, newspapers.

'On one level, there is a creepiness factor to this, but then on another level, it's open data, it's open information.' ~ Mark Blevis, digital public affairs analyst

The federal government is seeking a firm that

"continuously monitors social media content on a daily basis in near real time and (can) provide web-based, online media metrics and reporting capabilities."

That includes combing through

"blogs, micro-blogs, social networking sites including Facebook and Twitter, forums and message boards, traditional news websites and comment sections, media sharing websites (videos, photos and user-generated content websites including YouTube)."

The contractor is also being asked to keep tabs on English- and French-language internet news sites and blogs.

Tone and reach

The document specifies that the contractor must be able to provide the service 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.

Part of the job will be to gauge the sentiment and tone of posts and to determine their reach.

The social-media monitoring service must also come with the ability to filter searches by country, language and key words.
.

The work, which appears to be on an as-requested basis, runs from next February until January 2019.

Digital public affairs analyst Mark Blevis of FullDuplex.ca said it's not unusual that a government would want to know what people are saying, although he concedes some might find that thought disconcerting.
.

"On one level, there is a creepiness factor to this," Blevis said in an interview.

"But then on another level, it's open data, it's open information. If it's publicly accessible, why should the government have any less privilege accessing it than anyone else in the public eye?
.

"What they do with it is going to be the big question."

ED Noor: My goodness, how ingenuous he sounds when he knows, as well as you and I, just what they will be doing with this information, why the system has been set up this way, and what this portends for our potential future.
 

 

ED Noor: The above is NOT a "Canadian thing", honest! Not a bit of it. Laughs, they gotta be American tourists into the Canadian spirit! Or maybe "snowbirds" who spent too much time in Florida.

 

'Early warning system'

Social media can act as an "early warning system" to alert authorities to major disasters, Blevis said, just as it can be used to track public opinion.

"It depends on the intent. Is it creepy? Yeah, for the vast majority of the public it will seem creepy because the sense is the government is looking over their shoulder," he said.ED Noor: My goodness, how ingenuous he sounds when he knows, as well as you and I, just what they will be doing with this information, why the system has been set up this way, and what this portends for our potential future.
.

"But another part of me feels that this is a recognition that this where the conversations are happening now, and they're happening in plain view."

Public Works wasn't immediately available to comment.

ED Noor: Does anyone think they every really would? I mean, seriously?
