Unfortunately, we have all, at one point or another, been made painfully aware of the destructive surveillance state that the United States has become since the alleged terrorist attack on September 11, 2011.
Over the past year or two, however, The Department of Homeland Security, under Secretary Janet Napolitano, has been pushing local police departments as well as individual citizens to spy on their neighbors and local residents, expanding and intensifying this horrible Orwellian nightmare.
They have even gone so far as to release “If You See Something, Say Something” advertisements and extensive documents which outline the various ‘suspicious activities’ people should be looking for.
It has already been made public that Homeland Security has a list of ‘suspicious’ words used to monitor social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter (RT – Target on your cyber back: DHS has a list of words deemed ‘suspicious’) and that this list of words contains everything from “assassination” to “agriculture” and even “pork.”
We also know that we’re supposed to report anyone who avoids eye contact, owns multiple firearms, takes photos or videos, is over dressed, or covers furniture in their home. (National Terror Alert – See Something, Say Something)
Now, the Liberty Battles team has come across a document from December 27, 2010 which suggests that we should report anyone who has coffee grinders and goggles. And no; this is not a satirical article, although we wish it was.
In a December 27, 2010 “Roll Call Release,” the DHS informed law enforcement and first responders that they should be on the lookout for certain people; but it’s not gun owning patriots or citizen journalists; it’s coffee drinkers and scientists.
The document intends to show indicators to the law enforcement and first responders which may suggest that a person is making or has the ability to make CBR (chemical, biological, and radiological) weapons.
The document starts off by saying that witnessing one of the indicators listed in this document alone would not be conclusive, but witnessing more than one of these indicators along with other ‘suspicious’ activity might be.
We’ve already concluded that ‘other suspicious activity’ could be owning guns, practicing citizen journalism, and taking about pork; so what are these new ‘indicators’ that police, first responders, and average citizens should be on the lookout for?
Well, here’s a full list of these ‘dangerous indicators.’
(U//FOUO) Unusual or unpleasant odors, chemical fires, brightly colored stains, or corroded or rusted metal fixtures in apartments, hotel or motel rooms, self-storage units, or garages.
— (U//FOUO) Unexplained presence of equipment, containers, or material that could be used for radiation shielding or protection, such as lead, concrete, or steel.
— (U//FOUO) Unexplained presence of radiation detection or identification equipment.
— (U//FOUO) Damage to clothing, evidence of serious illness, or injuries such as burns, skin lesions, infections, or missing hands or fingers.
— (U//FOUO) Presence of potential precursors for biological agent production, such as castor
beans or bacterial growth materials.
— (U//FOUO) Laboratory equipment such as Bunsen burners, microscopes, and scientific
glassware; personal protective equipment such as masks, goggles, and gloves; household items
such as plant seeds, strainers, coffee grinders, and filters; and common household chemicals
such as acetone located together in places that are unusual, hidden, or disguised.
— (U//FOUO) An individual’s reluctance or inability to explain the presence of toxic chemicals,
radioactive materials, biological organisms, or related equipment.
— (U//FOUO) Presence of CBR training manuals, such as The Mujahideen Poisons Handbook or
The Anarchist Cookbook.
— (U//FOUO) Chemical containers discarded in dumpsters.
— (U//FOUO) Evidence of unexplained animal deaths.
— (U//FOUO) Security measures that appear inappropriate for the location they protect.
Obviously, if you see chemical fires coming from your neighbor’s house and hear them screaming “death to America!” something may be up. But some of these indicators that, according to Homeland Security, suggest that a person may be creating CBR weapons, are just absurd.
Let’s remember that more than one of these indicators along with other ‘suspicious’ behavior could be serious and should be reported immediately, according to this document. So let’s create a scenario, shall we?
We start off with an average person; John Smith. John’s house has just burned down and he was barely able to escape the fire.
He has a few bruises and burns and what little clothes he has left are tattered and ripped. He’s walking down the street with his head down, not making eye contact with anyone, because he doesn’t feel like conversing with anyone in light of the recent tragedy.
In addition to this, he’s constantly coughing because of the smoke inhalation he experienced during the fire.
We now go to another person; Bob. Bob has read the Department of Homeland Security’s various documents and manuals on suspicious activity and he’s always on the lookout for things.
He sees John walking down the street. He doesn’t know John so he doesn’t know that he has recently lost his home in a terrible fire.
Bob believes John is acting a little suspicious so he pulls out his trusty DHS checklist and goes through the indicators. Bob is stunned when he is able to pull together several conclusive indicators.
1. John has bruises and burns on his body.
2. John has ripped and tattered clothing.
3. John isn’t making eye contact with anyone.
4. John has a persistent cough, indicating possible illness.
Bob pulls out his cell phone and dials 911. “I think I’ve found a terrorist,” he says. Bob feels good about himself.
He has saved America from a possible terrorist attack. Bob walks away with a smile.
Now obviously, this scenario is a bit of a stretch – not that this scenario isn’t possible, but it’s unlikely. But it serves as an example that several of these indicators can occur without the person being linked to Al-Qaeda or any terrorist activity.
These ‘indicators’ are simply the Department of Homeland Security’s way of turning everyone against everyone and forcing us into a nightmare Orwellian surveillance state in which everyone is a complete paranoid schizophrenic.

“and hear them screaming “death to America!” something may be up
BUT! if the neighbor is screaming “ALLAHU AHKBAR” you better STFU and not be accused of being a racissssssssssss.
It’s not the muslims shithead! Go back to your Pamela Gellar jew propaganda you poor duped christian moron!
it is a bit strange,no not the goggles and grinders, the fact their sitting on their butts ,getting paid mega bucks
I am so glad that I do no live in this idiotic federal country …
In other words if you live in America and are not kissing the governments ass and snitching on your nieghbors you are a terrrorist.
Stark raving mad! Where do they find these idiots, or do they grow them in a lab?
I suspect that they are recruited straight from nursery.
All these lists, both FBI and Homies, have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with al-Qaeda. It is pure ignorance on the part of the American people, not to realize their government is demonizing them for control purposes. If any of them come around asking about some lead you own, chemicals, goggles, tattered clothing, or a burn from your wood stove, tell them to bugger off. If they mean to have a fight, give it to them. Most of us do not even know anyone of Arab descent, so that SHOULD HAVE been a wake up call to authorities (and their snitches) that we are not al-Qaeda. We are not part of any FBI created terror group. We are not a threat, unless self-defense is considered a provocation. AND, most importantly, we are Not to be pushed around.
Well, looking at the list I definitely qualify. I have a coffee grinder, although with the current price of beans I am cutting back. I have goggles, left over from working on the set of LOST during simulated dust storms and fogs. I have a lot of science equipment since I come from a science background and I still have some experiments I like to perform on the hobby level.
But frankly, I and the neighbors HAVE been reporting on a unit in our complex that has been dealing meth (and occasionally making it on the premises, to judge by the odor of ketone wafting from the place) for two years now and the Honolulu Police Department hasn’t done a damned thing about it yet, so I wouldn’t worry.
DHS can go screw themselves – and then they can start investigating the 200+ Israelis arrested in connection to 9/11. How many Muslims were arrested = 0.
“Evidence linking these Israelis to 9/11 is classified. I cannot tell you about evidence that has been gathered. It’s classified information.” — US official quoted in Carl Cameron’s Fox News report on the Israeli spy ring and its connections to 9-11.
Israel provided the security for the trade centers…..go figure!!!!!!!!!
Isreal has crawled so far up the butt of our gov. We will never get them out unless we have a bowel resection.
If ability is a crime then we better arrest all the men for rape, they have the capacity…
re read the first sentence !
Likewise, warn authorities about people wearing loose shoes. They may trip over a landmine and shatter windows.
I used to hear these kinds of stories from my friends who escaped Cuba back in the 60s to get away from Castro and communism.
They said that they were told to report on others and there was a block person in charge of every bock of every neighborhood that would spy and report you if you were up to something, or anything that
looked remotely suspicious. At the time, that sounded very strange to me and how horrible it must be to live like that.
They were not allowed to even dance . they would have parties, and some dances were illegal. something that was considered a revelutionary dance. THey could be arrested for so they had to do it secretly.
They had socialized medicine, said it was very hard to get anything, nothing came easy and many times there were requests for items that took months, if ever to get. Medicines like insulin for diabetes and needles for for shots for diabetic patients.
Many times those things would have to be smuggled in … now when I hear and see what is happening here. I shudder to think this path we are on is exactly what they escaped years ago.
We are turning into this same kind of country, only no one really knows or understands what is happening.
Ive friends tell me they are into socialism because they want to believe everything is free and that everyone will be treated equally.
My friends, this is just not true.. Nothing is free and there is no such thing as equal treatment … it is a seductive dance and we are all being led down a very slippery slope.
God Bless and good luck and please stay vigilent, but dont allow our country to become like CUBA during the height of Castro’s rein.
“We also know that we’re supposed to report anyone who avoids eye contact,”
Well here I thought all those women were not interested in me,now I know they are probably terrorists.
I better turn in my coffee grinder or at least get it registered so I am in total Dept of Home Boy compliance. I would hate for my A**hole neighbors to turn me in for all my radical coffee brewing that I do!!!
It’s truly very complicated in this busy life to listen news on Television, therefore I only use web for that purpose, and get the newest information.
Pretty part of content. I just stumbled upon your site and in accession capital to claim that I get
actually enjoyed account your blog posts. Any way I’ll be subscribing in your augment or even I achievement you get entry to consistently fast.
OMG. I always wear goggles when I use the coffee grinder. They match my robe. I guess I’ll have to close the blinds now so the neighbors don’t get suspicious.
