The Secret Government Rulebook For Labeling You a Terrorist
Because freedom.
" The Obama administration has quietly approved a substantial expansion of the terrorist watchlist system, authorizing a secret process that requires neither “concrete facts” nor “irrefutable evidence” to designate an American or foreigner as a terrorist, according to a key government document obtained by The Intercept.
The “March 2013 Watchlisting Guidance,” a 166-page document issued last year by the National Counterterrorism Center, spells out the government’s secret rules for putting individuals on its main terrorist database, as well as the no fly list and the selectee list, which triggers enhanced screening at airports and border crossings. The new guidelines allow individuals to be designated as representatives of terror organizations without any evidence they are actually connected to such organizations, and it gives a single White House official the unilateral authority to place “entire categories” of people the government is tracking onto the no fly and selectee lists. It broadens the authority of government officials to “nominate” people to the watchlists based on what is vaguely described as “fragmentary information.” It also allows for dead people to be watchlisted."

RE: The Secret Government Rulebook For Labeling You a Terrorist
Of note:
" The document’s definition of “terrorist” activity includes actions that fall far short of bombing or hijacking. In addition to expected crimes, such as assassination or hostage-taking, the guidelines also define destruction of government property and damaging computers used by financial institutions as activities meriting placement on a list. They also define as terrorism any act that is “dangerous” to property and intended to influence government policy through intimidation."
It's pretty clear from this definition that Obama himself is a terrorist (...to influence government policy through intimidation) and that there are terrorists working for the IRS (destruction of government property).

How is this possible when the southern border is wide open.....unless Obama is picking and choosing who is and isn't a terrorist. Muslim = not a terrorist. American Marine in a Mexican jail = possible terrorist and in need of further investigation.

I think they do this to protect the business-controlled governing organization and businesses themselves.
