Officials Announce That a Single Tip is Enough to Get You On Terror Watch List
Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab -AP-
The government has now openly admitted that it only takes ONE tip to get your name added to a terror watch list similar to those used by Nazi Germany.
This is not being used to thwart terrorism as is evident by the thousands of people including children who have been added to these secret lists and turned out to be 100% not guilty of any sort of terrorist activety.
Activists and Journalists are sure to be the targets of these watch lists as elements of the government move to silence all opposition to their Orwellian policies. The fact that the mainstream media is painting these lists as helping stop terrorism is easily debunked by the fact that the very example they list was a proven staged event.
The State Department has openly admitted that they let the Christmas Day Bomber on the plane without so much as a passport. Whether or not he was on a terror watch list is irrelevant when you have an unnamed U.S. official escorting him past security.

A year after a Nigerian man allegedly tried to blow up a Detroit-bound airliner, officials say they have made it easier to add individuals’ names to a terrorist watch list and improved the government’s ability to thwart an attack in the United States.
The failure to put Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab on the watch list last year renewed concerns that the government’s system to screen out potential terrorists was flawed. Even though Abdulmutallab’s father had told U.S. officials of his son’s radicalization in Yemen, government rules dictated that a single-source tip was insufficient to include a person’s name on the watch list.
Since then, senior counterterrorism officials say they have altered their criteria so that a single-source tip, as long as it is deemed credible, can lead to a name being placed on the watch list.
