BIG SIS INVADES WAL-MART: 'IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING'

WASHINGTON -- Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Janet Napolitano today announced the expansion of the Department?s national ?If You See Something, Say Something? campaign to hundreds of Walmart stores across the country?launching a new partnership between DHS and Walmart to help the American public play an active role in ensuring the safety and security of our nation.

?Homeland security starts with hometown security, and each of us plays a critical role in keeping our country and communities safe,? said Secretary Napolitano. ?I applaud Walmart for joining the ?If You See Something, Say Something? campaign. This partnership will help millions of shoppers across the nation identify and report indicators of terrorism, crime and other threats to law enforcement authorities.?

The ?If You See Something, Say Something? campaign?originally implemented by New York City?s Metropolitan Transportation Authority and funded, in part, by $13 million from DHS? Transit Security Grant Program?is a simple and effective program to engage the public and key frontline employees to identify and report indicators of terrorism, crime and other threats to the proper transportation and law enforcement authorities.

More than 230 Walmart stores nationwide launched the ?If You See Something, Say Something? campaign today, with a total of 588 Walmart stores in 27 states joining in the coming weeks. A short video message, available here, will play at select checkout locations to remind shoppers to contact local law enforcement to report suspicious activity.

Air Marshals Expand Beyond Planes
Officers Descending On Transit Systems, Bus Stations, Ferries

(AP) Federal air marshals are expanding their work beyond airplanes, launching counterterror surveillance at train stations and other mass transit facilities in a three-day test program.

As of Wednesday, the Transportation Security Administration said, teams of undercover air marshals and uniformed law enforcement officers were descending on bus stations, ferries and transit systems across the country to protect them from potential terrorists.

"We just want to develop the capability to enhance security outside of aviation," said air marshal spokesman David Adams.

Air marshals stepped outside of their usual role of flying undercover on airliners after Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans. They were sent to keep order at Louis Armstrong International Airport, where thousands of evacuees converged after the levees were breached.

The so-called "Visible Intermodal Protection and Response" teams, or VIPER teams, will patrol Amtrak's Northeast Corridor and Los Angeles rail lines; ferries in Washington state; bus stations in Houston; and mass transit systems in Atlanta, Philadelphia, Washington and Baltimore.

Feds Radiating Americans at Roadside Checkpoints





4th Amendment Violating Mobile X-Ray Scanners Hit The Streets

As we warned at the beginning of the year, X-ray body scanners currently being used and abused in airports across the world are set to hit the streets as American Science & Engineering reveals that ?more than 500 backscatter x-ray scanners mounted in vans that can be driven past neighboring vehicles to see their contents? have been sold to government agencies.

Philly Cops Stopping & Searching Random People On The Streets

In Philadelphia, you don?t have to visit the airport to have the government molest you, TSA-style ?stop, question and frisk? pat downs are already being conducted by police on the streets targeting people who act suspicious, by doing things like putting their hands in their coat pocket.

As we have repeatedly warned, everything unfolding in the airports, from naked radiation body scanners to pat downs, is now being implemented on mass transit as well as every major street corner in America. Constitutional protections of privacy and immunity from unreasonable search and seizure have been abolished, replaced with guilty until proven innocent.

US Homeland Security FAST Becoming Thought Police

The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is making quick progress on its Future Attribute Screening Technology (FAST) or Project Hostile Intent as it was called originally, which is designed to detect hostile thoughts, or thought crime as it?s known in Orwellian-speak.

The technology uses high-tech sensors that can measure breathing and pulse rate, as well as facial expressions and skin temperature in an attempt to identify people acting suspiciously. The system aims to make it easier for border control staff to choose who to single out for a probing interview.

Hitler would have been very proud of us.

And the terrorists win!! Way to go!!

not very happy with the direction the US Gov is heading.

What really pisses me off is the 100 mile extension to the border that they did. That's probably what allows the cops in Philly to search people

Feds Warrantlessly Tracking Americans? Credit Cards in Real Time

Federal law enforcement agencies have been tracking Americans in real-time using credit cards, loyalty cards and travel reservations without getting a court order, a new document released under a government sunshine request shows.

The document, obtained by security researcher Christopher Soghoian, explains how so-called ?Hotwatch? orders allow for real-time tracking of individuals in a criminal investigation via credit card companies, rental car agencies, calling cards, and even grocery store loyalty programs. The revelation sheds a little more light on the Justice Department?s increasing power and willingness to surveil Americans with little to no judicial or Congressional oversight.

please look up what a police state is, you will then realize this has nothing to do with that.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Police State: "The term police state describes a state in which the government exercises rigid and repressive controls over the social, economic and political life of the population. A police state typically exhibits elements of totalitarianism and social control, and there is usually little or no distinction between the law and the exercise of political power by the executive.

The inhabitants of a police state experience restrictions on their mobility, and on their freedom to express or communicate political or other views, which are subject to police monitoring or enforcement. Political control may be exerted by means of a secret police force which operates outside the boundaries normally imposed by a constitutional state."

Please pull your head out of your ass, and take a look around you buddy!

you dont like it, then dont live here :2 cents:

you obviously have a reading comprehension problem. what grade are you in? maybe i am expecting too much.

You like it?

he doesn't live here, just likes to point his finger and look down at the u.s. because it's the popular thing to do here atm.

Ok, so let's start rolling with some insults now.. common.. tell me how undereducated I am.

Maybe some reading is in order..

The Fuzzy Logic Of Useful Idiots

You obviously have a debating problem... You can't just argue by saying the other person is stupid, let's hear some thoughts.

i retract my earlier comment about your simple reading comprehension issue.

you have an overall comprehension issue.

i would like to point out that you began it all with the *pull your head out of your ass* comment but your lack of being able to understand even simple comments means you will not understand what i am pointing out to you now.

i don't argue on gfy and this is hardly a debate.

Quit keeping all the higher knowledge to yourself oh great master of politics! Enlighten the people!

Not quite. Maybe this will give you some insight.

http://www.gfy.com/17739418-post4.html

Soon the only way to escape will be to kill yourself :(

Same thing is happening in the EU.

People didn't want the Lisbon Treaty, and they implemented it anyway. The EU can now basically do whatever it wants... without 'interference' of the people...

Look up project INDECT....

Reacting To The Truth, Instead Of Absorbing It?

Useful idiots talk, they don?t listen. They ask lots of questions, but never wait to hear your answers. For them, questions are not a search for information, but rather a method of antagonism. It is a way to keep everyone else on guard while making themselves feel superior. In this game, the useful idiot never has to expose his ignorance because he never has to enter into a meaningful dialogue with anyone who has an opposing view. All he has to do is attack, attack, attack.

http://neithercorp.us/npress/?p=898

understanding what a police state is is not higher knowledge nor is that understanding something i keep to myself.

i truly could not care less what that link goes to. the fact is you are here, in a thread you started, pointing your finger at the u.s. people in glass houses........

this cut & paste simply has nothing to do with anything in this thread.

Really?

..Had you taken 10 seconds to read my post, you would have come to learn how far off base you were with that comment.

It's just getting starting. Imagine another 10 years from now.

If you don't like it, start making plans now to get off the grid. Have a plan, be prepared. Or suck it up and deal with it.

citizens watching for and reporting suspicious activity programs have been going on for years and years now.

started making my plans years ago.

lesson 1: Start with a proper Bug-out Bag.

just like in East-Germany where 1 out 6 people reported anything their neighbors or family members did and could be considered suspicious to the secret police...

I still prefer to call it "my Armageddon bag" :)

I heard one of these "see something say something" ads on the radio and I thought it was a joke at a first.

Seems really weird.

Myself, I "pulled my head from my ass" about three years ago. I've been preparing ever since. I'm as prepared as I'm going to get. BOB's are in place. :thumbsup

The extended family is also on a good footing now, which is reassuring. Heck, last year I gave out one ounce silver coins for X-mas! lol

Get ready for the attack on the Internet and Alternative Media next. HEAVY censorship is on the way..

Sure. But you don't see an increase in surveillance and security around the nation?

If someone doesn't travel much you are probably not exposed to it.

I've been gone for a while and it's not because I thought the GOV was out to get me or anything, I just prefer living in a strange land. With that said, over here you have to be somewhat prepared for other things that can happen. Lots of political unrest here as well as terrorist groups, but the difference is if the shit hits the fan here, I have a chance.

Anyone who is serious about surviving ANYTHING has a bug out bag. :thumbsup

People don't understand how fragile the system is and most are not prepared. Be it massive long term power failures to natural disaster to large scale riots to god knows what, if you're not ready your chances of making it through it is slim.

How many people know how to find water and filter it if there is none? How many have food reserves to last more than a few days? How many people know enough first aid to treat yourself or someone else in the event help can not come to you? How many people know how to deal with sewage in the event they had to? How many people have weapons and can protect their family? The list goes on, but point is, as I'm sure you are well aware of, most people are sleeping, usually in denial, and are literally fucked should something bad happen.

i notice no counter-argument, only a personal attack.
this is usually the indicator of who lost the intellectual battle.

grab a mirror and take a look at yourself, your comment shows you to be hypocritical.

moreover, you failed to follow along. my initial comment was *read what a police state is and you will realize that this is not that*

Homeland security begins with hometown security. That makes sense. The person can do a lot in the local area. Reporting suspicious activity in the local area makes sense.

fatfoo- the voice of reason.

:thumbsup

Homeland Security announced yesterday that the program ?If You See Something, Say Something? was set to be expanded to include 9,000 federal buildings, as well as sports stadiums, businesses and communities in general.

my neighbor dropped by earlier to let me know his home was broken into the other night and to ask me to report any suspicious activity if i ever see it.

i told him i absolutely would. he said he would do the same.

i reported one of my neighbors to Homeland Security last night, because i think he looks weird. i hope they arrest him.

WTF? :helpme

So clever...


Here is your average Walmart shopper

Yikes... Big Brother is out of control.

that's good but i know you are joking, homeland security does not take tips from tattooed citizens with lightning bolt chains.

The USA is still the best country in the world.

USA = fascist police state. :2 cents:

u.s. is not a police state. period.

i can choose how i make money, spend money and where i spend that money.
i can drive the vehicle of my choice, the route i choose to the walmart i want to go to, at any hour of the day to buy the television of my choice, bring it home, connect it to any television signal i want and watch glen beck trash america.

i can then go on gfy or go outside and state what i think about beck, the country, 9/11, chihuahuas, whatever, without fear that the secret police will come knocking on my door.

fact.

this is wrong on many counts, (nearly all), but i don't care enough to spend time addressing them because you wouldn't listen anyway.

fact.

not wrong in the slightest, i've done each and every one of those things.
