Paranoia. That’s always the first sign of tyranny and absolute power (which absolutely corrupts 100% of the time).
The Dept. of Homeland Security is undoubtedly President Bush’s greatest mistake. This is an uneeded bureaucracy that under this administration has done very little in carrying out its original mission, and quite a lot in advancing the police state.
We have a Dept. of Defense. Keyword here is Defense. That’s their job, they’ve been at it for a long time and they’re quite good at it. Homeland Security needs to be abolished.
What Bush failed to realize was that by creating this monster it could fall in to the wrong hands by a future president, and could be turned loose on the American people. That didn’t take long, did it?
As we can plainly see by this administrations radical actions, DHS has named just about every right of center group or organization as either terrorist, potential terrorist, violent, extremist, dangerous, etc… Yet left of center groups get a free pass, even those known to be tied to terrorism like CAIR, #Occupy, the Communist Party, open southern border, etc… Meantime, they are also flying drones, spying on the people.
Now, in all their brilliance, they have decided if you yawn, you are a terror suspect. If you have goosebumps, you are a terror suspect. If you’re staring off in to space, you’re a terror suspect. Nevermind that you might be tired or cold, nope, doesn’t matter. You are a potential terrorist!
Infowars has obtained a document from the New Jersey Office of Homeland Security & Preparedness that lists banal bodily activities such as yawning, staring and goose pumps as “suspicious activity” indicative of terrorism.
The document, entitled Terrorism Awareness and Prevention, is presented as a guide for both “residents and workers of New Jersey,” along with employees of federal, state and local agencies, on how to “assist in combating terrorism” by identifying “unusual or suspicious activities and behaviors.”
The guide encourages participants to “look for signs of nervousness in the people you come in contact with.”
Hey! This looks mighty familiar. Another Obama government sanctioned spy-on-your-neighbor program! Just like the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany!
Encouraging spying on your neighbor and turning them in to the government is a very popular, recurring theme with this paranoid, tyrannical regime. Remember flag.gov? That popped up when the Democrats with the supermajority unconstitutionally rammed through ObamaCare socialized medicine.
Then there was cars.gov, where you lost ownership of your very own computer as it became government property, seized in other words and you were spied upon just by going on that site. Always read the fine print before accepting the terms.
Let us not forget attackwatch.com. You were encouraged to turn anyone in to the government that made any statement that disagreed with the regime. Anything that could be construed as negative, turn ‘em in!
And now we have this… Yawning, goosebumps, turn ‘em in! Very typical of tyrants. They all suffer from extreme paranoia.
By the way Lefty. Go ahead and give me just one example of President Bush and his administration doing anything like this. I’ll wait. And I’ll continue to be waiting long after hell freezes over. This is your guy and your administration. You might not care now, but in a little less than a year when we have a Republican administration, I’ll just bet you will care a whole lot then. And even under a President Romney, I will still be calling for the abolition of the Dept. of Homeland Security.
