Oath Keepers Exclusive: An FBI Denver Joint Terrorism Task Force handout being distributed to Colorado military surplus store owners lists the purchase of popular preparedness items and firearms accessories as “suspicious” and “potential indicators of terrorist activities,” instructing store owners to keep records on and report people who:

“Make bulk purchase of items to include:

Weatherproofed ammunition or match containers

Meals Ready to Eat

Night Vision Devices; night flashlights; gas masks

High capacity magazines

Bi-pods or tri-pods for rifles”

The FBI handout, entitled “Communities Against Terrorism: Potential Indicators of Terrorist Activities Related to Military Surplus Stores” also instructs surplus store owners to:

Spot on, well said.

Audentis Fortuna Iuvat

"Who wouldn't be considered a terrorist with this list?"

Precisely.

[ForGod'sSake]

I'm speechless. There's going to have to be a lot of "un-transforming" when Jug Ears and his politburo are sent packing. The filth that has trickled down and infected every level of the bureaucracy since Jug Ears was coronated is just mind boggling, even though we knew it was coming. Even so, it still gives me a case of the RED A$$!

Even with his approval numbers heading for the abyss, there hasn't been so much as a hiccup in his implemenatation of the marxist state. Does anyone else suspect as I do, that Jug Ears has never given serious consideration to his chance of reelection? He thinks he can set the machinery in motion in one term; to hell with reelection and to hell with the country.

What is so special about night flashlights?

[NFHale]

“III” indeed, brother.

Fortune does indeed smile on the bold.

And free men, ultimately, crap on the heads of the wicked.

Just think “Nikolai Ceacescue” and crack a little smile.

[Madame Dufarge]

That makes Rush Limbaugh a ringleader for advertising that LifeLock service all the time.

You know, I didn't think about that but you're exactly right.

[Madame Dufarge]

Gestapo ping.

[TheThirdRuffian]

I kind of wanted Dave Ramsey to be on the “Super Committee” for the debt deal.

Have Susie Ormond for the Democrats.

[Still Thinking]

I can imagine what some of the owners of these stores think of these misplaced tactics.

If it was me, I'd poison their database by reporting any customers I had reason to believe were liberal, and keep my mouth shut about the good guys. If someone tries to manipulate you into doing something bad, what do you do -- the opposite of whatever they want!

[Still Thinking]

And if you work in a surplus store, start practicing how to describe Tim Geithner to an FBI sketch artist

"What made me think he was some kind of subversive was that he kept talking about not liking to pay his federal taxes..."

Yes officer. Hey was this black dude, about 6 feet tall. Real skinny. Distinguishing marks? Umm yeah his ears are kinda big and his lips had like this purplish tint to them. Oh and he kept spouting off all this anit-American crap and how he really hates rich people.

[HammerT]

Kind of a common trait with those people.

[Fresh Wind]

If these things are so dangerous, why is the government selling them to surplus dealers?

There is no cooler place on Earth than a good surplus shop!

[Huaynero]

Round out a list with our local neighborhood ATF and IRS personnel. Why have a list that has to be checked twice for the naughty and to be determined nice?

[DoughtyOne]

Well the topic was the FBI, but you are right to address the others.

Frankly, after Waco and the aftermath, you can lop off the BATF completely for all I care.

Those bastards don’t answer to anyone.

[DoughtyOne]

A reformulation of the tax code could cut the need for many IRS agents.

I should have mentioned the Gun Runner fiasco when it came to the BATF too. BTW, I refuse to play along with the renaming of departments every two years to run from various scandals.

The INS is still the INS to me.

[Gaffer]

Well, they’d damned well have better gotten that information years ago....I’m all done.

[DoughtyOne]

Didn’t look good did it. I agree.

[DoughtyOne]

And when you get down to it, the OKC bombing was another one along the same lines.

"night flashlights"

Looks like whistleblowing by way of following orders--orders probably from revenue-sucking brainstorms that originated in some of the more local police agencies (big federal funding to states/counties). It's likely that we'll see even more of a feeding frenzy between the various government income interests in the near future. They're not as monolithic and cohesive as they appear to be. Get some popcorn. Enjoy the default process show.
