List of words monitored by DHS on social media

According to AllGov, the Department of Homeland Security -- led by the beloved baritone, Janet Napolitano -- is monitoring a range of words and phrases on social networks.

• Soetero • AttackWatch • Vera Baker • Alinsky • Larry Sinclair

Just kidding. Here's the real list. As far as you know.

If not getting enough attention in your life is a problem, there’s one surefire way to get the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to notice you: Use any of its proscribed watch words on social media sites.

According to a DHS document, the agency is maintaining a lengthy list of “Items of Interest”—in other words, words. The words are categorized by subject, such as those falling under “Domestic Security,” “Southwest Border Violence,” “Health Concern + H1N1,” “Terrorism” and more.

Besides the obvious ones like “Al Qaeda (all spellings),” “weapons cache,” “meth lab” and “jihad,” the words being monitored on Facebook and Twitter include:

• airport • sick • gas • cloud • mud slide or mudslide • canceled • interstate • recovery • home grown • marijuana • incident • police • infection • symptoms • North Korea • China • Tucson • San Diego • pork • help

By the way, if you -- in your personal lives -- detect any discontent with administration policies among friends, family and colleagues, be sure and notify AttackWatch.com or one of your local Obama "Truth Teams". Even if it means turning in your parents.
