DHS Comments On Yon Post (?!?)
Wednesday, January 06, 2010
SEE UPDATE BELOW
Well, down in my short little post on Mike Yon's latest problems with the Border Bullies as he calls them, Johnnie von Bernhardi pops up to accuse Mike of lying, and me and all conservatives of flying off the handle. Since he hasn't posted since July, I did a little digging and found that he and Nicole (See Update) both post from the same domain, have similar styles, and appear to both work for the Department of Homeland Security.
Interesting and interestinger. A little searching on the domain 204.248.24.164 yields:

That domain also shows up in a torrent trap as outlined here and here. Some further information is here.
So, Johnnie works for DHS. Wonder what the bosses will think of the postings?

UPDATE: Commenter Nicole Miller has contacted me offline and states that "I don't know this Johnnie..." Noting and posting for the record. Have updated the story to reflect this.
