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

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:

• Speaking out against government policies

• Protesting anything

• Questioning war (even though war reduces our national security; and see this)

• Criticizing the government’s targeting of innocent civilians with drones (although killing innocent civilians with drones is one of the main things which increases terrorism. And see this)

• Asking questions about pollution (even at a public Congressional hearing?)

• Paying cash at an Internet cafe

• Asking questions about Wall Street shenanigans

• Holding gold

• Creating alternative currencies

• Stocking up on more than 7 days of food (even though all Mormons are taught to stockpile food, and most Hawaiians store up on extra food)

• Having bumper stickers saying things like “Know Your Rights Or Lose Them”

• Investigating factory farming

• Infringing a copyright

• Taking pictures or videos

• Talking to police officers

• Wearing a hoodie

• Driving a van

• Writing on a piece of paper

• (Not having a Facebook account may soon be added)

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

• Valuing online privacy

• Supporting Ron Paul or being a libertarian

• Liking the Founding Fathers

• Being a Christian

• Being anti-tax, anti-regulation or for the gold standard

• Being “reverent of individual liberty”

• Being “anti-nuclear”

• “Believe in conspiracy theories”

• “A belief that one’s personal and/or national “way of life” is under attack”

• “Impose strict religious tenets or laws on society (fundamentalists)”

• “Insert religion into the political sphere”

• “Those who seek to politicize religion”

• “Supported political movements for autonomy”

• Being “anti-abortion”

• Being “anti-Catholic”

• Being “anti-global”

• “Suspicious of centralized federal authority”

• “Fiercely nationalistic (as opposed to universal and international in orientation)”

• “A belief in the need to be prepared for an attack either by participating in … survivalism”

• Opposing genetically engineered food

• Opposing surveillance

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.

This list describes every single person in the USA

In my humble opinion -- I think that's that goal?

[AmCockerSpaniel]

The goal if "to put fear in everyone's mind".

[Colonel Klink]

Except the annointed one and the 535 members of the crime family.

Oops, there I go again.

[vast-dom]

don't be obtuse: that's precisely the point 12t. 

[lakecity55]

Same as old USSR, Comrade. Everyone is a counterrevolutionary.

Which way to the Lubayanka?

[Gimleteye]

Not Lubayanka, GITMO, still open for customers

[GOSPLAN HERO]

... or a reactionary.

[Precious]

Political asylum ... coming to a terrorist near you !

[logicalman]

The Whie House - Political assylum.

Fixed it for ya!

[CompassionateFascist]

Using the word "Jew" in any context other than public adulation or pretended victimization. Not on the list because that would have made the puppet master too obvious.  

[Nikao7]

17 red arrows for the truth PERIOD

Divine Wind...surely you jest

[Divine Wind]

Myself and all my Jooooo brothers, sisters and friends thank you for pointing this out.

This truth must burn you inside.

Suck it up, asshole.

Go to school, work your ass off, keep your friends and don't fuck over members of your own tribe and perhaps you can be one of the "puppet masters" one day as well.

What an idiot.

[mess nonster]

Divine Wind... a kamikazi is just a Sampson in a differnet language. Either way, you're nothing more than a short-haired, pussy-whipped slave to an ideological dead-end that leads only to your own self-destruction.

"You're nothing more than a short-haired, pussy-whipped slave to an ideological dead-end that leads only to your own self-destruction."

I LOVE that!  Permission to use it in other contexts???

[Element]

De-craping your bum with your left hand.
