FBI: Paying Cash for Coffee Potential Terrorism?

By xxxevilgrinxxx | Published: February 8, 2012

FBI says paying for your morning coffee with cash a potential terrorist activity, urges coffee shop owners to report cash-paying customers to authorities

NaturalNews.com/Ethan A. Huff/8 Feb 2012

Purchasing a cup of coffee using cash instead of a credit or debit card, using Google Maps to view photos of sporting event stadiums and large cities, and installing software to protect your internet privacy on your mobile phone — these and many other mundane activities are now considered to be potential terrorist activities by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). And the agency is now distributing a new series of flyers as part of its new “Communities Against Terrorism” (CAT) program that urges shop owners and others to report such “suspicious” activity to authorities.

“The Communities Against Terrorism program is funded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance through the SLATT Program to provide law enforcement agencies with a tool to engage members of the local community in the fight against terrorism,” writes SLATT.org, the program of the U.S. Department of Justice’s Bureau of Justice Assistance that is promoting the program, on its website. “To assist law enforcement in the outreach effort, templates of flyers containing potential indicators have been created for distribution to specific industries” (https://www.slatt.org/CAT).

The SLATT program offers both on-site and online training (indoctrination) for coffee shop owners, financial institution employees, tattoo shop artists, and many others into how to spot potential terrorist activities. Included among the many propaganda flyers the FBI is distributing as part of the campaign are ones for how to spot terrorists at local hobby shops and beauty supply stores, for instance, as well as flyers for owners of farm supply and home improvement stores (http://publicintelligence.net).

This little gem warns internet cafe owners to watch out for and report customers that always pay for their coffee with cash, as they could be terrorists (http://info.publicintelligence.net). Another ridiculous flyer intended for owners of boat shops warns them to be on the lookout for people interested in becoming certified scuba divers, as they could be terrorists (http://info.publicintelligence.net).

A few years ago, this type of outlandish fear-mongering and Stasi-style spying on citizens would have been considered a crazy conspiracy theory by many. But today, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) with its “See Something, Say Something” campaign, the U.S. Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) “First Observer” citizen spying program, and the TSA’s Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response” (VIPR) internal checkpoint force, together with the new FBI spying program, are making this police state nightmare in America a tangible reality (http://www.naturalnews.com/034867_TSA_Super_Bowl_surveillance.html).

    Since the real
    estate crash, the ascendancy of the “Lesser Depression” and near record
    unemployment, millions of Americans no longer have credit cards, bank accounts
    or debit cards to pay for their coffee and other inexpensive items. Are these
    millions of Americans to be considered potential terrorists according to the
    FBI because they pay cash for a cup of coffee or cheap store item? On the
    surface the new FBI merchant Flyer appears absurd. Consider: if one in 50
    coffee shops reported a customer paying cash for a cup of coffee, an already
    under staffed FBI would be crushed responding to calls. The FBI Flyer provided
    merchants fails as a propaganda vehicle because it is absurd to think in this
    economy small business owners are going to report customers paying cash for
    inexpensive items—as potential terrorists. However looking below the surface,
    the FBI has done something “brilliant” here that even the East German
    Secret Stasi Police never thought of to develop an army of informants. It took
    the Stasi two decades to create an army of neighborhood and other informants to
    spy for the communist government. The FBI flyers that ask merchants and
    businesses to report customers paying cash for even small items like coffee,
    will definitely attract Americans that want to be government informants.
    Brilliant! The FBI won’t have to spend years like the Stasi threatening
    Citizens, shaking the bushes to find informants, to build a U.S. network of
    American informants.

     

    When the East
    Berlin Wall came down it was discovered the Stasi Police informant files if
    lined up—back to back—would extend 12-miles. The Stasi developed an army of
    several hundred thousand informants; neighbors spying on neighbors, workers
    reporting workers. The Stasi even had informants reporting on church members.
    It got to the point East Germany married couples were afraid to discuss things
    inside their home and would leave the house to talk. Is this the direct America
    is headed?

    Yes, that’s exactly where the US is headed.
