Mine certainly is. I hatched from an egg. My name is Mork.

If someone could imitate the template, it would be great fun to make them up for other dangerous venues. Like laundromats.

No doubt, there is a flyer alerting blog readers to imitation terrorist flyers, in which expressing a desire to imitate official government flyers about potential terrorists is, itself, an indicator of potential terrorist leanings.

Missed the comment about copying when I skimmed the thread before.

Adobe Acrobat usually does a good job of scanning documents so that they can be edited. The completed edits, at least when I did them 20 years ago, looked very real. Parody versions of official documents could be created.

It could be. For example, the flier mentioned in this post has two top horizontal bars (red and black one), that are not even properly aligned. I expect that an official document would be created from a template without such problems... The next one looks better though.

Homeland Security Lexicon: You’re All ‘Militia Extremists’ Now (PJM)

quote:
A recently published “lexicon” distributed to thousands of federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) targets citizens concerned about their Second Amendment rights and the steady encroachment of the federal government, categorizing such as “militia extremists.”

The “lexicon,” marked Unclassified/For Official Use Only (FOUO), is dated November 10, 2011, and was sent out by email to law enforcement and homeland security agencies on November 14 by LaJuan E. Washington of the DHS Office of Intelligence and Analysis.

We have exclusively posted the DHS “lexicon” here.

Its definition of “militia extremists” states:

quote:
(U//FOUO) Groups or individuals who facilitate or engage in acts of violence directed at federal, state, or local government officials or infrastructure in response to their belief that the government deliberately is stripping Americans of their freedoms and is attempting to establish a totalitarian regime. These individuals consequently oppose many federal and state authorities’ laws and regulations, (particularly those related to firearms ownership), and often belong to armed paramilitary groups. They often conduct paramilitary training designed to violently resist perceived government oppression or to violently overthrow the US Government. (Page 2 of 3, emphasis added)

There is nothing new about any of this except that its happening in the USA (except for those in denial). All you have to do is look at history to see how it goes.

The question in our case is "can it be stopped/reversed?".

I'm ok with being a “militia extremist”. Go ahead, make my day.

What if I think they are stripping our freedoms through greed and incompetence, and not so much 'deliberately'. Am I a terrorist, too?

If you're against the State you're a threat. Your reasons don't matter (to it).

Greed, yes. Incompetence, no. The pattern of sowing distrust between neighbors, friends, and family members is a time tested formula that has worked in the past (both here and elsewhere). There is certainly a large amount of incompetence in the day to day implementation by the foot soldiers, but the design and the intent is pure evil in its finest form.

Humans have always been both predator and prey (and that applies to other human clans/tribes as much as it does to relationships with other species). The "they are out to get us" complex is a basic survival instinct. It does not really take much of a trick to trigger that reaction.

If you were alone in a dark alley and a stranger approached and pulled out a knife and started cleaning his finger nails, would the hackles start to rise on the back of your neck? Would the adrenaline start to flow? Would recent media reports of knife attacks in your location perhaps influence your reaction?

If you were laid off from your job because your former employer outsourced your entire division to an offshore contractor, would you rejoice because some foreign stranger now has a job?

Doesn't take much effort at all to trigger the "them or us" instinctive reaction does it?

Potential Indicators of Terrorist Activities
Related to Laundromats

What Should I Consider Suspicious?

Suspicious People Who:
* Are overly concerned about privacy, attempts to shield clothing from view of others
* Always pays cash
* Have burn marks on customer’s hands, arms, or face
* Unusual odors on laundry
* Are Missing hand / fingers
* Has coins/bills the change machine won't accept
* Turns laundromat TV to Al Jazeera
* Asks how the weather is in other locations
* Washes mats
* Leaves laundromat and then returns
* Arriving together then splitting up, continuing to communicate by phone (dry run?)
* Observations/questions about washers and dryers
* Excusing violence against washers and dryers that don't work

The activities outlined on this handout are by no means all-inclusive but have been compiled from a review of terrorist events over several years. Some of the activities, taken individually, could be innocent and must be examined by homeland security laundromat professionals in a larger context to determine whether there is a basis to investigate.

*

You omitted the most obvious telltale sign.
That in itself is very suspicious!
*Washing machine operatives that use the cycle dial counter-clockwise.
They start with the final spin & end with the wash cycle.
Much like writing from right to left.

Please tell me this is comedy hour at the FBI. Crumpled/torn bills = terrorist?

You're lucky if the TV gets local antenna, let alone international cable.
said by fatness:

"How's the weather?" another common terrorist greeting.
said by fatness:

* Washes mats
* Leaves laundromat and then returns

Only terrorists wash mats? Or has sh*t to do other than laundry?
said by fatness:

* Observations/questions about washers and dryers
* Excusing violence against washers and dryers that don't work

When washing clothes, I kind of like to know which ones work and which ones don't. And if they're all broken, yeah, getting pissed isn't a real stretch.

FFS. I hope they didn't pay anyone for this research. This is like a last-minute bullcrap research paper done at community college.

Overly concerned about Privacy?
Federal protected witness?

Always pays cash?
Bad credit? Recovering credit-aholic?
Are there any coin-op machines that accept credit cards?

Burn marks on customer's hands, arms, or face?
Watch Fight Club much?

Unusual odors on laundry?
Paper Street Soap Factory? Nitro in the bathtubs? His name was Robert Paulson?

Missing hand/fingers?
Cult initiation? Convicted Moslem thief?

Has coins/bills the change machine won't accept?
CANADIAN??!

Turns TV to al-Jazeera?
Washes mats?
Islamophobic much?

Asks how the weather is in other locations?
Meteorology student?

Leaves laundromat, then returns?
Try cleaning your rest rooms!

Arriving together, then splitting up, continuing to communicate by phone?
Soccer moms planning play-date for their kids. Very dangerous.

Observations/questions about washers and dryers?
Theirs at home don't work and they can't afford a repairman.

Excusing violence against washers and dryers that don't work?
Did I mention theirs at home don't work and they can't afford to repair them?

That was nicely done, BTW.

They didn't. I took some lines from various FBI posters, added a few of my own modifications, and they didn't pay me anything.

Which probably adds another one to the list:

* Makes parodies of ridiculous terrorist warning flyers.
