The Department of Homeland Security has been forced to release a list of keywords and phrases it uses to monitor social networking sites and online media for signs of terrorist or other threats against the U.S.

The intriguing the list includes obvious choices such as 'attack', 'Al Qaeda', 'terrorism' and 'dirty bomb' alongside dozens of seemingly innocent words like 'pork', 'cloud', 'team' and 'Mexico'.

Released under a freedom of information request, the information sheds new light on how government analysts are instructed to patrol the internet searching for domestic and external threats.

So, yeah...basically ES is spied on like 1,000 times per day.

I attacked Subway, toxic pork brown out attack, relief, send help this gas cloud is toxic. Dirty bomb evacuation drill emergency.

[Botched]

This is hard to believe, there are way too many harmless words on there. If it's true, then the government is basically reading every last thing on the internet. Apparently they're even alerted to incorrectly spelled words like "lightening".

[Kosher Ham]

The list is fake.

[AsburySkinsFan]

The list is fake.

I'm sure you have a link to something which will support your statement.

[Teller]

I wonder if "Democratic People's Republic of the United States" is on a different list.

[Popeman38]

I'm sure you have a link to something which will support your statement.

If that list is real, then that is all the proof we need to shutter DHS and save BILLIONS on the budget. Because that list will only catch idiots on message boards.

[mjah]

DHS must have HATED that year or so when the biggest joke in online sports discussions was "Ron Mexico."

[Corcaigh]

The list is allegedly from a handbook which also identifies credible news organizations.

As the UK Daily Mail, which is the source link in the OP, isn't identified as a credible news source, I'd say it's legit.

[China]

Hmmm...this seems familiar.

[RVAbrendan]

Funny that 'pork' is on the list.

All of the posters in the BBQ thread better sleep with one eye open!

Oh don't be sour now just because no body paid attention to your post in a 10 year old bumped thread.

There was an internet surveillance organization in Building 7, but when that came down, most of the domestic spying work was sold to Israeli companies. I remember reading a good amount about all of it. I know I've posted stories about it before.

[Califan007 The Constipated]

Eh, like I care if the government spies on my interwebz activities...whoever the poor soul is who is assigned to monitor my browsing will either fall asleep from the boredom ("Day 72: subject is looking up yet again more quotations about task analysis...") or become a huge Redskins fan lol...

Yes I'm serious. It's come up several times before. Every key stroke, every text, every conversation goes through computer monitors and when enough buzz words come up, you move up the list until you get to the point you're being monitored by a real person. I'm sure the real list is much longer than this one.

I'm sure honorary_hog, Predicto, Park City Skins, DjTj, Corcaigh and the others will be glad to hear you consider them nobodys.

[The Sisko]

I work in healthcare emergency management and I've probably researched and/or written about 90% of the terms on that list, many on a daily basis. Maybe I should just cut to the chase and have someone from DHS move in with me.

Sound more like what the NSA does with their big computer at Ft. Meade. I thought you were about to go into a 9/11 conspiracy.

Can I ask how it is you think the government has the access to evaluate all of these?

Why? Because I mentioned building 7? There's no conspiracies about that.

Because I've read several articles about it over the last 10 years or so. Go google it, it's hardly a secret, nor has it been.

People have even gone to jail because of conversations they've had face to face, with turned off cell phones monitoring them from their pockets.

We have military drones doing domestic surveillance now, I hardly think saying your phone calls are being monitored is letting any cats out of the bag.

Because you mentioned Building 7, the Jews, and Big Brother (indirectly) all in one sentence.

Oh and there are Building 7 conspiracy theories.

The NSA at Ft. Meade has a massive computer that "listens" to the internet and comm traffic, it does pretty much what Koolblue said.

I was asking how you think that the government actually gains access to all of these - phone calls, texts, IMs, emails...

Social networking is one thing, what you claim is on a whole nother level.

Which is why Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups have gone backwards in the tech they use, passing things by hand old school style, only the amateurs still use the internet as if someone wasn't already watching what they were doing.

If it is electronic and "out there" then they have it.

Yeah, the internet is mostly used by Hillbillys from Ohio, that want to blow up beautiful bridges and cripple the bustling economy powerhouse of places like Akron.
