As recent DHS bulletins prove, DHS run Fusion Centers have made job security their number one priority. Time after time we see bulletins warning Americans of possible attacks that mightoccur. Over the years, DHS has claimed terrorists might target shopping malls, sports stadiums,Disney the list is nearly endless.
A recent Fusion Center bulletin, warns police of “self-radicalized” actor(s), and homegrown violent extremists targeting public transportation centers.
Despite, admitting they had “no specific information regarding a threat to transportation hubs in New Jersey or New York” they insist it could happen.
Can you say job security?
Using scare tactics is nothing new with DHS. Last year, I warned everyone about DHS’s dubious claim that our electric grid was under attack every 4 days. Every year, DHS claims our electric grid and water system are vulnerable to some unforeseen attack.
As recently as two years ago, DHS was accused of using more scare tactics to secure congressional funding.
Just, when Americans appear to be tiring of the war on terror DHS invents a “new breed of terrorism.” For more info. about DHS scare tactics, read my article “DHS to create a new ‘threat index chart’ to keep Americans in fear.”
Back, to the Fusion Center bulletin.
What they’re really saying is, they want police to target activists.
Below, is an abbreviated list of “Recent Suspicious Activity” reports:
“These items are in addition or amplifying those reported in the previous Daily Threat Overviews (DTO).” Are ‘DTO’s’ and SAR’s being used to target photographers and activists?
“There are no credible threats specific to any particular transportation center or asset at this time.”
After admitting for a third time, there are no threats, DHS wants police to target photographers and activists.
- 3/21/16, New Brunswick: Unidentified male taking panoramic video of train station intersection.
- 3/3/16, Garfield: Two photographs of unidentified subjects in possession of assault rifles and wearing military fatigues observed in a business.
- 2/26/16, Elizabeth: Unidentified subject was observed photographing airportinfrastructure.
- 2/16/16, Bayonne: Unidentified subject was photographing Port Elizabeth and the Turnpike.
- 2/12/16, Linden: Unidentified suspects were observed on the New Jersey Turnpike, hanging out of the passenger side window of a vehicle with a NY registration taking photos of the oil refineries and the Newark Airport.
- 2/2/16, Wall: Unidentified subject observed photographing the airport.
- 2/1/16, Atlantic Highlands: An unidentified male subject acted strange while on board a ferry.
- 1/30/16, Beachwood: Unidentified males overheard saying, “We’re doing business in Brussels,” on a domestic flight to Newark Liberty International Airport.
- 1/15/16, Toms River: Unidentified subject attempted to elicit information about traffic cameras and security cameras at a hospital.
News flash, acting strange, conducting business in Brussels and taking pictures is not a criminal act!
Unfortunately, police harassing photographers isn’t new. YouTube has over 41,000 videos of police harassing photographers and “Photography Is Not A Crime” has thousands of videos and news stories documenting police harassment.
At what point, do people say enough is enough? Hopefully, Americans are finally beginning to see through DHS’s never-ending war on terror.

No. It’s not about “job security”. It’s about scaring the public, and silencing activists, because their control depends on your fear.
When was the last time a federal employee had to worry about job security?
