FBI adds 'preppers' to potential terrorists list :: 08/16/2011

"An FBI Denver Joint Terrorism Task Force handout being distributed to Colorado military surplus store owners lists the purchase of popular preparedness items and firearms accessories as 'suspicious' and 'potential indicators of terrorist activities,'" an exclusive report by Oath Keepers reveals .

Essentially, the government is conflating Americans who believe in being prepared for disruptions in normal circumstances with potential domestic enemies who bear scrutiny, and are recruiting those they patronize to spy and snitch on their customers. As potential terrorists. For such suspicious activities as buying storable food. And paying in legal tender.
