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: Citizen Concepts announces the launch of PatriotAppTM, the world’s first iPhone application that empowers citizens to assist government agencies in creating safer, cleaner, and more efficient communities via social networking and mobile technology. This app was founded on the belief that citizens can provide the most sophisticated and broad network of eyes and ears necessary to prevent terrorism, crime, environmental negligence, or other malicious behavior. Simply download, report (including pictures) and submit information to relevant government agencies, employers, or publish incident data to social network tools. Key Features: Integrated into Federal Agencies points of contacts FBI EPA GAO CDC Custom integration with user employers Fully integrated with Social Media (Facebook, Twitter) Multiple menus and data fields View FBI Most Wanted Simple graphical user interface Uses: Enable citizens to record and communicate: National Security, Suspicious activities, Crime Government Waste Environmental Crime or possible violations White collar crime Workplace harassment, discrimination, or other violations Public Health concerns PatriotApp encourages active citizen participation in the War on Terror and in protecting their families and surrounding communities. Fresh food that lasts from eFoods Direct (Ad) An app like this is meant to solidify the climate of fear in which our leaders want us to exist. The threat of terrorism must be palpable in order for the ‘War on Terror’ to be justified and to validate all the extreme measures instituted in its name.
Typical Socialist ploy..... turning words against their normal meaning. "Liberal" used to be someone with an open mind...... "Progressive" used to be someone who took society FORWARDS....... "Smart" used to something rather intelligent...... "Conservative" used to be someone who valued and fostered the good old constructive values our nation was built on.......
