Hoo boy! A sign that his popularity is slipping? Evidence that people are "finally waking up"?

Now I see where the more rabid lefties get their ugly ideas about the right from. So speaking as someone who I believe is probably perceived to be right-leaning, please allow me to publicly disavow y'all.

Thank you very much for your time.

What a joke.... As if a person would post a poll, if there was any chance they were going to assassinate the president. What's the point here? Oh, yes all the major assassinations were so published beforehand, and polls were taken before the act. LOL.

I mean doesn't everyone know the new trend is to run a poll before committing murder.

This is just a stupid waste of government resources. Period, can't believe anyone would think otherwise.

It is illegal to threaten the life of the President, and even a conversation about the subject can result in an afternoon spent with people who have had their sense of humor surgically removed.

Technically it isn't a threat as such but a question. What if the question was: “Should the President of Iran be assassinated?” or “Should we bomb Iran’s nuclear reprocessing facility?” are those threats?

That would depend upon how Iran and their agents view those questions, as they seem to be the subject of them.

How about rewording them... "Should SL4 be assassinated?" "Should sappa be assassinated?" Should we bomb SL4's valued possessions?" "Should we also do the same thing to sappa's?"

I don't know how you would respond but if I saw a questions or polls posed like that, I'm beginning to worry. I may even use whatever legal means I have at my disposal to have those polls and/or questions removed, for I would find them sort of threatening.

This poll makes two things obvious:

1) Whackos exist on the internet
2) Anyone can create a poll on facebook

... There is possibly a slightly wider ranging conversation here in terms of thought crimes but I don't see that it is really any more interesting than that. I don't suppose anyone knows what the actual intent of such a poll would be. There was a time in the not so distant past people didn’t get morally outraged by everything said by idiots on the internet. ...

... If you rephrased it “Should I assassinate SL4?” perhaps I would consider that a threat, as it indicates your potential willingness to consider doing it based on a poll result.

PA, if you want to be taken seriously, then stop posting stuff from Alex Jones, Larouche, and Chapman. They are whackos of the first order.

Technically, not anyone can. Only those 500 million people who have become members can. I, being one of the few who is not a member, cannot create polls of any kind on Facebook, though this is a moot point.

quote:


It may not matter what the intent of the poll was. If the results of security analysis conclude that a poll of this type may have even the tiniest bit of sincerity behind it, the Secret Service will get it yanked. I'm sure that Facebook didn't simply roll over on this one; they probably put up a good private fight (at least, for the sake of its membership, I hope they did) but given the type of evidence they may have been presented with, felt they had no choice but to comply.

quote:


Again, this is not new information. Security and intelligence agencies get reports of tens, if not hundreds or even thousands, of possible risks every day. Some are turned up by human efforts but most are born as a result of the heuristics of an automated analysis system that data-mines Internet and other electronic communications. This was all made public by the NSA in a documentary about the NSA broadcast by the History Channel in January 2001 (History Channel, History's Mysteries: America's Most Secret Agency, first broadcast 8 Jan 2001; a Wired.com review of the broadcast is here but sadly the History Channel website link no longer works). A likely scenario is that this poll tripped an alert by this system, thus the decision to have it removed.

quote:


Many times these things are just spit out by the system and acted upon without anything more than a cursory and unemotional review of such analysis. Or, perhaps this poll was yanked as a reminder to others planning more nefarious actions that they're being watched. In any event, all we can do here is speculate -- sometimes wildly.

You're joking right?

What if I was in the gate area at Heathrow and passed out a poll to the other passengers waiting for the flight that said:
"Do you think the terrorists that downed the Pan Am flight over Lockerbie had valid reasons for doing so?".
Do you think I'll make my flight?

If you were to say whackos exist everywhere, I'd be more inclined to believe it. Someone was behind that screen, "on the internet" when they posted it. So its circulating in someone's head.

I would not presume that anything that I have to say is something to be immediately discarded as UFO stuff.

In fact-  I am certain otherwise.  Every now and then I hear from someone on the other side (CM) that makes a conversation of one of my comments.

I noted that this was a RUMOR.   And to anyone who knows what goes on in intel- the idea is not entirely out of line.

In this theoretical situation are you genuinely conducting a survey for people’s opinions at Heathrow before randomly travelling elsewhere in the world to widen your survey?

You should confine your examples to realistic parallels to what I said because obviously in that example you are just fear mongering thus why would you then want to catch a plane elsewhere anyway? For one thing you are defiantly not a terrorist: I don't know any terrorist stupid enough to conduct a survey prior to boarding a flight, in general they tend to keep a low profile.
