IMAO and Visitor Privacy
A subpoena was issued by the Justice Department to the news website Indymedia.us demanding information on all visitors to the site. I know this worries a number of you because what if the Obama administration demands information on all visitors to IMAO.us? Would I give you guys up?
Well, it would seem hypocritical not to give them the information since I already share information on my site’s visitors with spammers and the Russian mafia. But here is my guarantee to you: If I give the the government your information, I won’t tell you about it. That way you won’t have to fret about it. IMAO looks out for your psychological health.
Also, according to our privacy policy, I will share any and all information of IMAO visitors for profit or to save my own neck. So, this shouldn’t really be a surprise… except that I haven’t allowed anyone to see IMAO’s privacy policy. It likes to stay private.

Frank, you are a truly great man, and a model of “the right thing to do” in any circumstances. Just let me know when you need my address, checking account info, and political affiliation. It’s yours for the asking.

So far, I’ve only had the secret service drive by my house twice. They haven’t fired their weapons yet, they only pointed them menacingly. I already expect the IRS audit, so no worries there. I’m expecting a visit from the union thugs next week. I may be out of town.

Everything they said about Bush is true of the Obama Administration — except that the last VP had the decency to hang out in undisclosed locations, staying quiet.

Imagine my relief.
November 11th, 2009 at 4:55 pm
I already share information on my site’s visitors with spammers and the Russian mafia.
Which explains Boris and Natasha showing up looking for moose and squirrel.
November 11th, 2009 at 4:59 pm
Russian mafia? Very good.
Вы скоро найдете мертвая козочка в вашей кровати.
November 11th, 2009 at 5:25 pm
If the Russian Mafia already gets the info, then providing it to the Obama administration should be reported to the Office of Redundancy Department.

No sweat, I’ve been on the official right wing extremist watch list since I filled out my selective service card in 1979.
November 11th, 2009 at 5:53 pm
crap! i was just starting to like this site to! theres always redstate!
November 11th, 2009 at 5:57 pm
Omagine that! a leftwing commie injustice department mis-serving a supeona on a left wing commie news site. liars and crooks and scum! oh my!
32 degrees in Hell, dogs and cats sleeping together, soros attacking democrats.

Not only will I sing like a canary, I’ll make up stuff and claim you all told it to me in a confessional. Must…keep…tax-exempt…status.
November 11th, 2009 at 6:11 pm
It’s good to know I’m not the only one here that the secret service knows.Though mine was for actions done at a Hilary Clinton event.
November 11th, 2009 at 6:46 pm
And we know that the only reason that the thing got any mention at all on CBS’ blog was that indymedia is full of whackadoo leftists. And since muckadoo leftards think hObama isn’t commie-pinko-hippy-douchebag enought for them (especially “journalists”) the whistle was blown… quietly of course. Not like you’ll actually see it on a news broadcast or anything.
And we’ve known about the whole Russian Mafiya thing since the beginning. Why else do you think I’ve been keeping it a secret from you that I’m really 8 rabbits in a man suit?
November 11th, 2009 at 7:20 pm
Frank….. I am just a sock puppet….. careful of feeding “da man” bad information….. “da man” dont like dat too much. Besides ….. Who’s to say I havent already done a data mine on this site and filed my report? Dont worry though.. the pick ups wont happen until spring…. the “housing facilities” are still under construction.
November 11th, 2009 at 7:21 pm
Frank, be sure to also give them my SSN so they can steal my identity. I’m hoping they’ll have better luck with it than I’ve had.

I’ve always wondered about my personal information and IMAO.US. The night I first posted here some blonde lady drove by my house and shot out my porch light with an AK47.
November 11th, 2009 at 8:05 pm
Don’t sweat it, Frank. I’m already sure I have an adjacent cell with my name on it next to yours at a Soros sponsored FEMA gulag…I mean re-education camp…I mean “Happy Camp”.
November 11th, 2009 at 9:46 pm
I was wondering why there were those strange charges on my Equafax reports. I get the 66″ LCD, and the Bob Denver Guitar Hero Expantion Pack. But buying one of the “Johnny 5″ robots from Short Circut on ebay is a little excesive.
November 11th, 2009 at 9:58 pm
If they ask for my info please use my witness protection name, Miguel Javier Escobar Sanchez.
November 11th, 2009 at 10:00 pm
Careful, the won will not be pleased:

Well, as long as you won’t tell me about- HEEEEEYYYYYYY!
November 11th, 2009 at 11:14 pm
hmmm…..truth in advertising. This can get your media card pulled.
November 11th, 2009 at 11:47 pm
don’t worry my standard response to the police will always be “frank told me to do it” should i ever need to respond to the police.
November 12th, 2009 at 12:22 am
I’ve already told them to come on down, so……………..I’m still at the keyboard, awaiting the SWAT team.
After all I am a right wing, religious, racist, anti-communist, pro-gun, anti-abortion, color challenged granny and we all know how dangerous those are. As soon as my Advil- Arthritis kicks in I’m ready to rumble.
November 12th, 2009 at 12:57 am
You won’t tell me if you give Uncle Sam my info?
Sounds fair to me, and I won’t tell you
when I forward your articles to flag @ whitehouse.gov .
That address IS for telling them about people who
respect the flag, isn’t it?
BigRichardSmall, does the Johnny 5 come with the laser rifle?
If it does, I want one.
November 12th, 2009 at 6:18 am
How do I get this bucket off my head?
November 12th, 2009 at 6:20 am
Oh great! The jack booted thugs are on the way and I have a racing stripe in my shorts! HOPE i have time to CHANGE them…

This revelation is going to have a chilling effect on comments, Frank. This is cold! You are cold! I’m cold. Wait. It’s only 62 deg. F in here. (Gotta start a coal fire, I think)
Now, if you would combine your secret privacy policy with compiling commenter positions on Obama/Pelosi care then you’d really have a database to turn-over to the Feds. Put me down as an early volunteer for jail time. I figure I’d get room and board, TV, internet, laundry service plus medical / dental / vision. At my age, not a bad deal.
November 12th, 2009 at 9:24 am
Frank, we’d expect nothing less of you. And it’s very nice of you to not disturb us by telling us about said privacy revelations.
I guess it’s a good thing I use truecrypt and tor, as well as
spoofing my MAC and IP addressesnever doing anything illegal or unethical online.November 12th, 2009 at 9:42 am
I’ve been on the list since 1964 when while enlisting in the service, I mistook the question: Do you advocate the overthrow of the U.S. government by force or subversion as a multiple choice question. Apparently, force is not the right answer!
November 12th, 2009 at 3:03 pm
[...] realized that my IMAO Privacy Policy is a bit inadequate, so I’ll give you all a way to opt out of having your information shared [...]
November 12th, 2009 at 3:50 pm
I’m glad I’ve never made any comments on this site.
November 12th, 2009 at 6:45 pm
Go ahead and tell, I only post comments here so the feds who track my internet usage come to suspect your site of something seditious.

I don’t know if Johnny 5 comes with the laser beam. It was delivered here in Boise, but to a diffrent address. Some one by the name of Hank J Heming, who ever that is.
November 13th, 2009 at 3:49 am
Well I am posting this from Canada, so even if you do give out my IP the feds can’t do a thing with it.
