A new video produced in association with the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI and narrated by former Denver Broncos quarterback John Elway urges people to report suspicious activity that could constitute terrorism, behavior that includes buying gold, owning guns, using a watch or binoculars, donating to charity, and all manner of mundane things. Using a watch, a pair of binoculars, or donating to a charity are all potential Al-Qaeda behavior, the video implies.
Do you use e mail or the telephone to find out information about things? You’re probably a terrorist, according to the DHS, which classifies such behavior as “elicitation,” one of the eight signs of terror.
Do you occasionally monitor police radio, as thousands did during the recent G20 protests in Pittsburgh? You’re a terrorist.
Do you notice surveillance cameras or occasionally attempt to watch big brother back? You’re a terrorist

Hillbilly jihad?

sort of related thread with the link to “thecell.org”

Elway is a scare monger!!!!!
Dirka, dirka y’all
I must have must not have been paying attention when they talked about “muzzies”. I missed that one.
Yep, and we’re gonna call it a “Yeeeeee-Hawd!”
[by doggies!]
What the heck is John Elway doing making DHS videos.
Welcome to FreeRepublic.com.
If only those damn Norwegians hadn’t knocked down the twin towers.
Bloody Vikings.
My question is, who the hell is John Elway?
Well you can bet I won’t be putting any camels in the nativity scene in my yard this year. The three wise men will all be wearing ACORN T-shirts too!
I’ve got my own personal “8 signs of terror”, let’s see if DHS can learn something:
1. Repeatedly, at regularly scheduled times of the day, the individual gets down on the floor and starts babbling gibberish while facing East.
2. Thinks a towel qualifies as a hat in any situation other than when they just stepped out of the shower.
3. Always shouts “Allahu Akbar!” after scoring a “hit” at the gun range.
4. Tries to convince friends and co-workers that Israelis are really “Nazis”.
5. Thinks there is nothing wrong with washing their feet in a public restroom sink.
6. Threatens their wives or daughters with beheading for some perceived insult to their family’s honor.
7. Thinks that it is more defiling to put pork into one’s mouth than to issue death threats out of one’s mouth.
8. Owns a Cat Stevens album that came out after 1977.
That’s more flatlander southern.
We generally say “you’uns” more often than “y’all”.....:)
Is he supporting this travesty?
With all the shootings, and science gear I have I could be a potential terrorist, because anyone who owns optical devices and firearms is dangerous.
Anytime, Anyone? Even like you, Mr. Al-Qaeda Elway? You POS.
Is this supposed to be some sort of joke? Charities should sue the makers of this video.
I love the long list of credits at the end, as if it’s a contenda for the Oscars. I expected to see “No actual terrorists were harmed during the making of this film.”
I wonder why the terrorist looks like Joe the Plumber instead of Mohammed.
What the f**k is wrong with John Elway?
What the hell was he thinking, making this nonsensical and stupid video?
P I N G for your amusement. You guys are TERRORISTS!
(but then, so am I)

I wonder how many hookers DHS had to provide Elway for him to make the video. A friend of mine booked Elway for a charity event, and Elway demanded he be provided with two prostitutes in order for him to appear.
If he can read, he had to have known the script targeted the very people who are likely his biggest fans.
This is a prelude to a conservative pogrom.
[using a known conservative as a Judas goat, no less]
How many of those who idolize him will now blindly embrace this?
Was that the devious plan, all along?
We are being demonized and marginalized a la Alinksy.
I truly believe that if 0 paints us as “terrorists”, he’s betting that at least few *may* prefer to be hung as wolves instead of sheep.
ALL of this is intended to provoke dissent and division.
ALL of it.
[to the Dim lurkers...THANKS A LOT for destroying America, you ignorant, evil, bleeding heart, brain dead bastards]
That I feared but never believed that this great country would be destroyed from within proves that I have lived too long.
Sorry.
I tend to see the “big picture” instead of looking at small, short term alleged anomalies.
I agree, this is not the first time a person
was used and then they found out later it was
not as told or promised.
Do they really believe most Americans are stupid enough to swallow that swill?
Oops... they already did.
Thanks for the laugh.
Some one looking at their watch to check the time is generally not suspicious, but someone repeatly checking their watch (and perhaps writng things in a notebook) in a secure area might be. Using binoculars at the football, or birdwatching isn;t suspicious, but using them to watch power stations or military/government facilities might be. Donating to a known charity is okay, but giving money to a charity you have never heard of might not be so wise.
That’s what the video says to me. It does not say “watch the conservatives, or watch the NRA members”.
Okay, so the video makers should have used non white males (although terrorists do come in assorted colors, including white), but the thrust of the video is quite reasonable - be alert for odd behaviour.
Just my 2 cents.
I have small binoculars, a digital camera, a multitool, and an LED flashlight in my computer bag. I have carried similar items in my belongings all over the world for 20+ years.
Now, based on DoJ and “Homeland Security” training materials, I am fair game for suspicion, detention, and investigation as a terrorist by law enforcement.
I miss America.
sure he did
No kidding. I have so many targets on my back, I need a backpack. I swear, they are so wanting a fight. On a related note, I saw that acorn got about a million bucks from our department of homeland obscurity. nice.
“In each purchase, the investigator showed interest in buying a gun, agreed on a price and then indicated that he probably could not pass a background check.
Most sellers allowed the purchases anyway, responding in some cases by saying, “I couldn’t pass one either,” or “I don’t care,” according to the city’s report.
Two assault rifles and 20 semiautomatic handguns were bought this way, the report said.”
Sooooo....where’s the beef? The sellers obviously didn’t sell to buyers with criminal pasts because these buyers were undercover agents. Just because a buyer says “I might not pass a background check”, doesn’t mean squat... “I might fly to the moon”.. “Maybe I’ll get hit by a bus”...... Who knows? No crime..no foul.
All I know is that Elway screwed the Browns for years.
They're probably NASCAR fans, too, which means they're racist.
That’s not true....
Gunshows should simply post a sign that no one should sell a gun to any of Bloomberg’s Mentally ill Criminals.
Most of them were.
