With all the hoopla over the NSA and its practice of keeping tabs on Americans, both good and bad, one might ask….just what could I do to be thought a terrorist after all I am a loyal American?    I have played this game with the government in my younger days…..so none of this stuff that has shocked America is all that surprising to me…….

I bet you think it is silly to say that YOU might be thought a terrorist, right?

Do you really want to know?

Fine!  Take a gander at this criteria……

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)

This may be or sound a bit absurd……but then……. is it really?  Think COINTELPRO!

Granted some of the points may seem just silly…..but I for one do not take any of this as silly….I have a personal relationship with the government spying on me…..and I thank COINTELPRO…if you think this was just paranoia then I suggest you ask someone who the program f*cked.
