The Government Is Spying On You and What Keywords They Are Looking For

 This week the Daily Mail broke a story that should terrify all. It is about an freedom of information act request that performed a wonderful thing. It forced the Department of Homeland Security to release a list of keywords and phrases it uses to monitor social networking sites and online media for signs of terrorist ‘boogie men’ or other threats against the U.S. This sheds new light on how government operatives are instructed to patrol the internet searching for domestic and external threats. The keywords were included in the department’s 2011 ‘Analyst’s Desktop Binder‘ used by spooks at their National Operations Center. Their Department chiefs were forced to release the manual following a House hearing revealing how analysts monitor social networks and media organizations for comments that ‘reflect adversely’ on the government.
What does ‘reflect adversely’ mean? Disagree with them? Question them? Hold them accountable for their actions? They use these keywords and phrases to watch its enemies namely you and me. No one is exempt or above suspicion in this day and age.
There are hundreds of words you should avoid using online unless you like the words “Guantanamo” and “Indefinite Detention”.  They released this ridiculous list as a form of pre-emptive mind control. Letting us know that they are watching everything at all time. The list includes some obvious ones related to real terror threats, but some make the head spin when you try to figure out how they came up with them, for example ‘Pork’, ‘Cloud’, ‘Team’, ‘Mexico’, and ‘Social Media’ to name a few.
So if you are launching a softball team for your company in Mexico City named “Cloud Pork Producers Inc.” and use social media to attract visitors…you are surly getting water boarded.
They make it crystal clear that discussing the watchers who watch you may get you red flagged. The terms ‘Cops’ , ‘Law Enforcement’, ‘Authorities’, ‘Homeland Security’, ‘Initiative’, ‘Police’, are on the keyword list. There are lots more but you get the idea.  I was surprised that ‘Freedom’ was not on the list because it is ‘Freedom’ and Free-Though that the government most despises.
Big Brother insists this secret police practice was aimed not at policing the internet for disparaging remarks about the government and signs of general dissent, but to provide awareness of any potential threats.  As well as the highly popular scare tactic of terrorism, analysts are instructed to search for evidence of unfolding natural disasters, public health threats and serious crimes such as mall/school shootings, major drug busts, or illegal immigrant busts.
Of course what was I thinking the tsunami or hurricane is going to tweet about it before it destroys a city or trailer park?  Public health threats of all kinds are already tracked by the Center For Disease Control (CDC). Their information gathering and correlation methods have been in place for decades and have served us well so far. They get their information from hospitals all around the country…you know where sick people go.  In regards to major crimes that is what the myriad of law enforcement agencies are for. Their networks of computer networks are all designed to track crime and the criminals who commit them.
None of what they claim as the reason for this surveillance makes any sense when you really think about it.
It is all smoke and mirrors to get at the real prize and that is you. If they really don’t like you or what you stand for, say the U.S. Constitution for example. Now it is easier than ever for them to hoist you by your own petard.
So let’s recap… big brother can destroy any last shred of personal privacy we illusorily thought we had but we are penalized against discussing them at all. Obama’s bastard creation ‘Indefinite Detention’ means they can grab you in the middle of the night and throw you in a dark hole and hold you for as long as they want without charge. To them FREEDOM is a Four-Letter Word. Your privacy is their play thing and bread and butter.
They are not trying to protect you from anything; they are trying to protect the government from the people. Corruption comes in many disguises, sometimes it does not wear a disguise, sometimes it hides in plain sight. This draconian surveillance of us all is a nightmare they tell us is a blessing. Think for yourself before they make that illegal too.
George Orwell’s novel ‘1984’ and Aldous Huxley’s ‘Brave New World’ were not supposed to be instruction manuals.
Here is the list of words they are watching for:
