Remember, the no-fly list and stuff like this are proof of a criminal government.

This story is apparently from 2010. And according to this:

"His name is not in any of our bulletins," Maria A. Smith, the spokeswoman for the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency, told the Philadelphia Inquirer. "There is no list, we never even had a list."

Says he is not on it.

Despite reports that he wasn't even allowed to fly, Mark Ruffalo has never been on the terror watch list.

"The Kids Are All Right" star told the Wall Street Journal that the reports that he had been placed on the list by the Pennsylvania Office of Homeland Security for organizing screenings of the documentary "Gasland" were exaggerated.

"I've never been stopped at the airport and I think that the story has snowballed into this incredibly fantastical thing," he told the Journal. "At the center, of course, is one small grain of truth, which is that back in September, I was hosting educational screenings of 'Gasland.'

"Pennsylvania's Homeland Security was monitoring these screenings and feeding information to the gas industry. And they got busted. It was a huge embarrassment and the head of their Homeland Security had to resign over it," Ruffalo, 43, added.

While the Department of Homeland Security may have sat in on the screenings of "Gasland," a documentary about the natural gas industry - along with numerous other private events in Pennsylvania, according to documents, they were never watching Ruffalo specifically, the Journal reported.

The head of the Pennsylvania Office of Homeland Security resigned shortly after a report came out.

The rumors may have snowballed on their own, but they started when Ruffalo told GQ that he was on the terror watch list in an interview earlier this month after he spent time promoting "Gasland".

But his no-show on the list didn't stop Ruffalo from making his plight sound so much more dramatic to GQ, when asked about being on the list.

"It's kind of raaadical," he told the magazine.
