WASHINGTON — The government’s terrorist watch list has hit 1 million entries, up 32% since 2007.
Federal data show the rise comes despite the removal of 33,000 entries last year by the FBI’s Terrorist Screening Center in an effort to purge the list of outdated information and remove people cleared in investigations.It’s unclear how many individuals those 33,000 records represent — the center often uses multiple entries, or “identities,” for a person to reflect variances in name spellings or other identifying information. The remaining million entries represent about 400,000 individuals, according to the center.
The new figures were provided by the screening center and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence in response to requests from USA TODAY.
“We’re continually trying to improve the quality of the information,” says Timothy Edgar, a civil liberties officer at the intelligence director’s office. “It’s always going to be a work in progress.”

Your era is ending. Soon the world will not be the world you know. I am not speaking of a barren world, or one depopulated, but of the end of your technological era. Many inventions of mankind will be broken down and there will be more of a peasant attitude and way of life everywhere. After this breakdown of false society will come persecution of Christians and also a new world order. The anti-christ will be on earth trying to affect the new world order. Hardly anyone will notice the extent of his influence until afterwards. He will not be of tremendous visibility until he is accomplished. That is to say, he will not rule, control, and be at all obvious to the world at the peak of his influence. He will not be unlike a figure such as Marx, except his ideas will be more immediate.

1 million people who have no recourse to get off the list. The news shwed a 5 year old boy on the list. 1 million people who Rahm Emanual will not allow to buy guns? No path to get off the list- seems like they are creating a non existing problem to make sure they can find a solution like a national ID card
1 million people is the number of people in the chinese military- think about that for a minute- A whole countries Army is the same size as the number of people on that list

Ummm…did you actually READ this article? It says, “The new figures were provided by the screening center and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence in response to requests from USA TODAY.” The byline reads, “Peter Eisler, USA Today.” Alex Jones’s staff has simply posted this article. It is not written by Alex Jones or anyone on his staff. It is a mainstream media news article. Apparently, you either never read beyond the headlines or you have a reading comprehension disorder of some sort.

UMMM.. YES, Gary, you are correct!! I 1st saw the story on the boob tube (CNN) when I woke up this AM. Most of the articles here are recycled from other news sources. If you go to jeffrense.com you’ll see many of the same ones here etc. This posting board is turning into a bunch of little boys with big mouths.. who I’m sure don’t have the muscle or the brains to back up their MTY opinions that seem to be as recycled as all the other late news. You poo poo the watch list and do everything you can to get on it!! What kind of sense does that make?

Alex Jones does NOT have secret CIA documents, moron. Everything he presents has become public domain. With a lot of common sense and a little research you can find the same facts and documents he presents.
Stop being an idiot and use your brain…I know that it is rare, but brain usage can work if you really try hard.

If you are on the list, does that mean that you can’t fly not only on international flights, but between states either? I haven’t flown for 2 years, and I didn’t wake up to the truth until about just under 2 years ago, I have a flight in 2 weeks, I’m probably screwed right?
March 11th, 2009 at 12:55 pm
Jones is full of crap and so are his articles. There’s no such thing as a terrorist watch list. And if it had a million people on it, we’d have heard about it on the mainstream media. I hate liars.
Gary Reply:

Ummm…Joe, with the exception of articles by Kurt Nimmo and couple of others, NONE of the articles here are BY or solicited by Alex Jones. He is REPORTING on news from around the world by posting mainstream media articles. By the way, are you not aware that USA Today IS a mainstream media newspaper?
No such thing as a terrorist watch list, eh? Never mind that several government officials – including former President Bush – have mentioned it publicly many times since 2001. Never mind that the mainstream media mentions it all the time. What are you smoking?

Actually 1 million seems like a reasonable number. Think about all the people who live in this planet about 9billions. So I million that wish to harm Americans seems even to be an understatement.

TSA found something questionable in my artist bin/pencil case. They TOOK it along with my lotions/perfumes. So I thought that was the end of it.
However, the TSA agent with my drivers license and ticket in hand began to copy my info onto a form given to her by another agent. I respectfully, said, ‘you confiscated my property’ so why the NEED for a report? No response!
I asked ‘what are you going to do with my info? Agent said, ‘put it in a file.’
I asked what file? NO response!
I asked her superior what’s the report for? He said, ‘its nothing to worry about.’ When I requested a copy of the ‘nothing to worry about report’ he said ‘have a pleasant flight.’
Today msm (talk radio) mentioned that airports will use body scanners, how do you feel about that? I thought what are they going to do to you if they find something questionable?
Surgery! Maybe they can forward a copy of the scan to our doctors if an agent notices a cancerous mass growing. Big brother is no joke! I really feel bad for the children and young adults because they don’t really understand not like those who lived through bs does.
These are perilous times.

Went camping in the VI, so I flew down. TSA found something questionable in my checked bag that had my tent & kitchen [including some food]. The bag was “LOST” in Puerto Rico, behind the security line until the breakfast bars, tuna & coffee were all eaten. The TSA personel were polite enough to put the empty wrappers back in the bag when they released it 3 days later. Oh, and my tent was slashed & my air mattress “missing”. I’m just glad I wasn’t on a hunting trip. Where would my rifle be now?

Just who do they think they are kidding?…The biggest criminals are in Washington D.C.Bush kills millions of innocent people, American soldiers sent to their deathbed all on a lie, innocent Iraqis killed all on a lie,and yet the man who quite frequently speaks of courage is he himself a coward(Bush) who sent all but his two hip swinging daughters of Satan to war.While his two twin daughters are swinging with every Tom Dick and Harry, everyone else remains jobless.While the FBI gives us a list of the most wanted terrorist, who knows if they are not making it all up? Gran it, the only evidence I and the majority of the American people see is contrary to the evidence. Bernie sure made off with billions, Bush made off with billions, as did Cheney, Rumsfeld, and that stooge Condi sure plays a great beethovens fifth symphony…But that does not amount to a proverbial hill of beans.American people the solution is simple…Jail Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Pearle, and the rest of 99.9 percent of congress all except for Dennis Kucinich,and Ron Paul.by the way, the Iraqi shoe thrower gets three years and Bush gets billions.. where is the justice in that? Our supreme court system should be appalled.This idiot started a jihad, all quite obvious to get the New World Order going.
