Two days after he became a U.S. citizen, Abdiwali Warsame embraced the First Amendment by creating a raucous Web site about his native Somalia. Packed with news and controversial opinions, it rapidly became a magnet for Somalis dispersed around the world, including tens of thousands in Minnesota.
The popularity of the site, Somalimidnimo.com, or United Somalia, also attracted the attention of the Defense Department. A military contractor, working for U.S. Special Operations forces to “counter nefarious influences” in Africa, began monitoring the Web site and compiled a confidential research dossier about its founder and its content.
In a May 2012 report, the contractor, the Northern Virginia-based Navanti Group, branded the Web site “extremist” and asserted that its “chief goal is to disseminate propaganda supportive” of al-Shabab, an Islamist militia in Somalia that the U.S. government considers a terrorist group. The contractor then delivered a copy of its dossier — including Warsame’s Minnesota home address and phone number — to the FBI. A few days later, federal agents knocked on the webmaster’s door.

I call it "the decade of relaxed standards." Not only does the Pentagon stand down NORAD so that Rabbi Zakheim's lend-lease tanker drones can be remotely piloted into the Twin Towers unmolested, but now they're going to re-allocate the budget typically reserved for scrambling jets to prevent such an attack --they're going to spend it by waging information warfare on those who exercise their 1st Amendment rights.
Of all my targets of excoriation, the Pentagon is the most useless.
By the way, I first came to the attention of that very Pentagon disinformation system in February of 2002 when I released my pop-up war video. Their nineteen-year-old, pimply-faced contractors badmouthed me on a forum belonging to a website called Free Republic. You never forget your first.
...And the touch pee-pee game was officially afoot!
