A new iPhone App with the misleading name ‘PatriotApp’ attempts to draw on the power of the patriot movement, turning smartphone users into a gigantic snitch network.
You might think an app with such a patriotic name might have useful functions like a pocket constitution or quotes from our forefathers. But contrary to the services one might expect, this app allows users to report any ‘suspicious’ behavior directly linking them with top government agencies.
Much like the new DHS program ‘If you see something, say something’ this app is meant to turn average citizens into a network of spies feeding information back to the federal government.
Citizen Concepts, a company formed by insiders from DHS, defines the use of such an app on their homepage:
The goals of Citizen Concepts are to:
* Provide instruction and increase consistency in actions while decreasing variance in human behavior to mitigate risk and error
* Increase the quality, procedure compliance, and efficacy of outcomes
* Provide closed network, high-value content information for collection and action purposes
* To serve civil, government and commercial communities entities
* Provide mechanisms whereby events, processes, and performance can be reviewed retrospectivelyCitizen Concepts delivers a superior product.
We leverage your existing Blackberry, Android or iPhone platform and drive compliance directly to your staff’s mobile device. No manuals to find, nor forms to locate, no wasted time.
Oh goody!
Does this remind anyone of “Night Watch” from Babylon 5. Who would of thought Obama was President Clark. Let’s hope “Scorched Earth” isn’t on his agenda.
#61 Who’s this Obama you talk about. I thought Clinton was the POTUS
Now that the DHS has become our Stasi, it’s time to take a page out of my grandfathers playbook on how he dealt with the previous Stasi in East Germany.
Take names and if you can, photos of the Stasi collaborators. Because there will come a time in the future for a reckoning. When that wall came down, several of those collaborators fell with it, never to be seen again.
How insane do you have to be to still support this Obama guy??
Everything you Dems hated about Bush, Obama has done 10 fold.
Obama has gone balls to the walls to create a police state and his party, the party of oppression, has gone along with him in lockstep.
The mind boggling dept of corruption, the astonishing naivete, the repulsive arrogance.
Obama lies, and his party lies with him:
“Senate Democrats released a massive spending bill Tuesday that contains money for thousands of lawmakers’ pet projects, setting up a fierce debate over so-called earmarks in the waning days of the lame-duck congressional session. … Critics of earmarks said the bill released Tuesday represents a last hurrah for lawmakers steering money to their pet projects before the arrival in January of dozens of tea party-backed Republicans intent on ending the practice.”
So who has sold out to special interest??
Yes we can!
# 41 pedro,
Maybe you should move to CUBA, as you seem very fond of it’s Health care and it’s rattling neighbors!!
What really sadly funny about you, if you could read English, you would have noticed I never mentioned or referenced CUBA in my post #21!!!
Posted by Pedro, Castro but buddy (# 41 pedro):: “#21 Why? cuba has this in real life, neighbors rattle on neighbors. And since cuba has such great healthcare, this should be a great app.
Sheeple!”
#66 So you now deny you’re a Fatso Moore loving kinda demagogue? What’s next, denying you ever voted for Obama.
Your denial has no end.
Sheeple!
# 67 pedro,
You really need to work on your English reading comprehension.
Where in my comments do you read anything about Michael Moore?
Where in my comments do you read anything about Obama?
Now, even though you are not asking, yes I did vote for Obama.
Do I think he is spineless, yes.
Do I think him a War Criminal like G.W. Bush, NO.
The president you fond so much for G.W. Bush, is one strange person (as you are); from G.W. unusually imboyant and uncritically promotion of the death penalty and War as a means to solve non-existent problems (IRAQ had nothing to do with 9/11 and finally TEXAS is reviewing the death penalty as unconstitutional because of known cases of executing innocent people).
#64,
you really have no concept of government and whats going on, do you?
It takes 2 groups to pass the bill and then to the president..
Senate then the HOUSE..THEN the president. WHAT GOT PASSED?? that is a bottom RUNG bill that hasnt gotten anywhere. GIVE me the bill number and I will give you a link to it.
ALSO,
A few more things, since you LIKE to blame people…and NOT the ones that ELECTED THEM.
As soon as Obama became president..he was PROBABLY taken to a room and TOLD WHAT/HOW TO DO things.
BOTH groups are TOTALLY BAD. ALSO lets add those that are working AROUND the capital that have been working on the hill for 20+ years. They are ALL corrupt. Look at the picture. NOT the subject. and you will see things happening in the BACKGROUND.
The medical bill was a great idea, UNTIL the senate and congress got ahold of it. take a 300 page bill and make it 3000.. THEN the corps had a BIG SAY in what was to be in it.
ASk yourself 1 little question..Why do the corps get ANY SAY, in bills passed? THEY SHOULDNT.
#54
you are completely batshit insane
I need this app to report my neighbor for eating a cupcake. Michelle Obama says that is a national security risk. The Obamas are batsh*t insane.
This App is doubleplusgood!
#61 – I didn’t catch that initially but you nailed it.
#68 Still clutching at straws, I see. Not wise to keep denying Obama. You know what happened to the last guy who dared deny the Messiah.
At least you get some Demagogue points by saying that anybody who has died in combat from the “enemy” while your Messiah has been in charge, he’s not responsible of.
How freaking detached from reality you are man. God bless you
