Postcards from the Funny Farm

There’s no secret handshake to sift through who’s friendly toward America and who isn’t but covert language awareness and technology is making it more and more possible to uncover plots against our country. 

One such term that has congealed from many is “Radical Islam.”  This has been reduced to it’s simplest form since 911 when many terms flew around to describe the enemy.  Now, we know more specifically who the enemy is. 

As we hone the language, we become more effective at spreading the word and hopefully quelling terrorism.  As we discover these terms, of course there is Wikipedia right alongside us publishing them to the world through democratic authoring.  If we use brains as well as brawn, we just might make it through the era of terror.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is gathering more data every day on the explicit and tacit signs of terrorist plots.  But don’t sit back and watch them do all the homework.

In America, we are free, so there is a burden on us to not unjustly accuse, or to arrest without cause.  At the same time 911 taught us all that we need to be on lookout for terrorist plots.  Working together to report and share these clues, we are safer as a nation.  A word, an observation . . . awareness can stop a plot.

Yesterday a major killing plot was felled through interpreting the code of terrorism.  Said article from Reuters linked below:
