Take the Test to See If You Might Be Considered a “Potential Terrorist” By Government Officials

George Washington's picture




 

There have been so many anti-terrorism laws passed since 9/11 that it is hard to keep up on what kinds of things might get one on a “list” of suspected bad guys.

We’ve prepared this quick checklist so you can see if you might be doing something which might get hassled.

The following actions may get an American citizen living on U.S. soil labeled as a “suspected terrorist” today:

Holding the following beliefs may also be considered grounds for suspected terrorism:

Many Americans assume that only “bad people” have to worry about draconian anti-terror laws.

But as the above lists show, this isn’t true.

When even Supreme Court Justices and congressmen worry that we are drifting into dictatorship, we should all be concerned.

Tyler, when are you finally going to ban this grossly bigoted and hate-spewing troll already?

Face it: if Trav7777 deserved being banned (and he did), then this vile troll deserves no less.

Sorry,

Banning only applies to coherent posters.

Insipid annoyance does not meet ZH strict guidelines for banishment.

Blobbing up is acceptable.

Bigoted? Hate spewing?

How?

There is no hate and no bigotry in reporting that no 'american' posting on this site constitutes a threat to an 'american' institution of power.
Consequently, no 'american' institution of power will waste time or energy on trying to censor them.

Just a reality check...

Ummm, nope. Your posts are more of a surreality check.

Nevertheless, you provide many the good laughings, so keep up the good work.

Which of these little guys is Skynet sending:

For unbelievable video showing the maneuverability of the new generation of drones, watch this, this and this.

 

And remember that drones can be as small as golf balls, birds … or even insects (and see this).

Going by my wristwatch, he should be about 10 by now.

I think we should build our own Terminators for personal protective detail!

Not sure George. I just googled Skynet Drone and it was on the first page of images. Looks like a model. But it is an interesting perspective.

The real kicker of course is the Founding Father's essentially built the Constitution to address every single on of those bullet points. The new "laws" are the exact opposite of the core Law of the Land. Amazing and clear as day to see what is happening.

Supporting the Constitution constitutes an act of terrorism. All elected officlals, from the President on down, swear to protect the Constitution. All elected officlals, from the President on down,are therefore terrorists. QED.

Yes the Constitution, but more importantly, the Bill of Rights.

of course the "founding fathers" had one hellova fight to get the anti-bullet points through.  And that was when fully 1/4 of the colonists had self-exported b/c they couldn't live without the Crown.

See the girl in my profile pic? She drove all the way to Mendo Coast to stay the night for the first time (sleepover) with me in a Redwood cabin on the coast. She made me smoke some weed she brought over in her 5 hour drive from Sac. She was a half JAP (jew princess, getting her Doctorate in Edukation) with milk white skin and nice yoga/apple bottom. At one point, she performed an act I will not name with fervor.

She dumped me about 3 weeks later, my being 15 years older, but the weekend was fantastic, the music festival devine.

God is good, God is great, praise God!

Live and let fucking die! The NWO homos have never skied a powder day like me or tasted half the sweet pussy I have.

Doesn't owe any "money", grows own fruits and vegetables, keeps animals to eat, hunts and fishes for more animals to eat.  Heats house with firewood.  Owns an axe, and has another one to grind.

Yes, lack of debt is the sine qua non of the modern domestic terrorist.

I noticed that...

Maybe the NRA has such a choke hold on the congressmen that make these decisions that its not allowed.

No matter what, they have lists of registered weapons they can add to the terrorist list whenever they deem fit.

I'm surprised that being a Freemason, or union involvement, isn't on the list like in old school regimes.

In regards to recording, the ACLU has a nifty application called Police Tape.

Our government believes every American white man is a terrorist. Remember, white can be expanded?????

Remember the WHITE latino who shot the Black teenager in the hoooodiiieee. Wait a minute, the only pictures I saw was a cute little 8 year old black kid. I am waiting for the white black man that shot the brown muslim.

What a fucked up world our media creates. Does anyone buy into this shit?

The car culture is so entrenched in the fabric of society, the look on peoples faces when they find out that I don't own a car is half way between major constipation and fear of contracting leprosy (Around $1250 a year in registration and insurance will get your small 4cyl car on the road in Australia). Apparently there are four things people need to survive - food, water, shelter and a car. Who knew?!

No Car

No TV

No Cellphone

No Credit card

I won't go into any more detail, but I think my score would be fairly high here.

The only solution appears to be becoming a hermit. No tech, no internet, no human contact.

Actually, now that I think about, that sounds pretty good!
