Half Of All People On [Obama’s] Government Terrorist Watchlist Have No Terrorist Connections
The Daily Caller ^ | 08/05/2014 | Giuseppe Macri

Posted on 08/05/2014 1:02:18 PM PDT by HammerT

Classified documents leaked from the National Counterterrorism Center and published Wednesday reveal almost half of the nearly 700,000 terrorist suspects included on the government’s terrorist watchlist have no connection to known terrorists.

According to the documents obtained by The Intercept, out of the 680,000 people included on the list, 280,000 have ”no recognized terrorist group affiliation,” making it the largest category of any other on the list of ”known or suspected terrorists.” The next-largest specific terrorist organization on the list is al-Qaida in Iraq, with only 73,189 people.

The documents also highlight the dramatic expansion of the government’s terrorist watch-listing under the Obama administration, which includes increasing the the no-fly list to 47,000 — ten times higher than the Bush administration.

You know, it’s almost like the regime is using these watch lists as a means to control the people.

[I added Obama to the title since he was reference in the original article and since he’s the big cheese and Responsible for what his regime does to oppress the people]

Do the people on the list know they are on the list, or do
they only find out about it when they show up at an airport?

If you oppose Obama or the political left - you’re on the list.

That's OK - they're not watching half the people on the list anyway.

It’s a secret list, so I imagine they don’t.

It’s also a due process free procedure to end up on the list.

Part of the reason I bring this up is that some gun grabbers have wanted to stop people on the list from being able to exercise their Commonsense Civil Rights.

IF the gun grabbers get de facto registration with ‘universal background checks’ in place and tie it to those lists we can kiss the 2nd amendment goodbye.

Sadly, you’re correct, saw this while looking to see if anyone had already posted this story:

“it’s almost like the regime is using these watch lists as a means to control the people.”

Almost?

Combined with the IRS and other government agencies these lists are part of the Obama Administration's war on the American people.

Big government and big paranoia are obsessions with leftists and tyrants. It’s all about justifying their existence, and having people to blame for their incompetence. It’s also about competition. Big government always wants to be the biggest, most effective terrorist on the block.

Sadly, that’s the half that does have connections w/ terrorists.
(Though given our government engaging in State Sponsored Terrorism that’s kinda to be expected.)

“Half Of All People On [Obama’s] Government Terrorist Watchlist Have No Terrorist Connections”

And it’s quite likely that prosperous Saudis waived through TSA checks (the kind of “folk” Barry bows deeply to) do have terrorist connections.
Keep in mind that the reason for creation of such things as the Department of Fatherland Security and the Transportation Nazis Agency was what occurred on September 11, 2001.

And 9-11-2001 was brought to us by .... well-to-do young Saudi nationals.
Thank you, Comrade Obama, for our new, happy lives!

A great way to make the lists useless is to load them up with totally innocent people.

Obama IS a Muslim terrorist. Anyone who does not understand this is asleep. Anyone who denies it is simply lacking the courage to face the truth.

That was a bit of sarcasm creeping in there.

Let’s bottom line this: it’s a War on Liberty.

So-called “Liberals” on the left are anything but liberal.

They call people who are Terrorists something else – like ‘Militant’ and the like.

And they call people who aren’t that by that label – the world is upside-down.
