White Nationalist Symbols and Signals within Homeland Security

Homeland Security's Controversial Painting

• 🖼️ The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) posted a painting by John Gast titled "American Progress" with the caption, "A heritage to be proud of, a homeland worth defending."
• 🧐 This post gained attention because the text contained exactly 14 words, which is a known secret signal used by Nazis and white nationalists.

Decoding the "14 Words" Signal

• 💡 The number 14 is significant as it refers to the "14 Words" slogan used by white nationalists: "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children."
• 🔢 The number 88 is also a code, where H is the eighth letter of the alphabet, thus 88 signifies "Heil Hitler."
• ⚠️ The combination 1488 is a widely recognized white supremacist code.

Historical and Ongoing Patterns

• 🚨 This is not an isolated incident; DHS has a history of using these signals, including a 2019 press release where they "lost track of 1488 kids."
• 🗣️ The language used in the DHS tweet is also noted to be similar to the 14-word slogan invocation, such as "we must secure border and build wall, make America safe again."
• 📧 Emails have surfaced showing Stephen Miller's familiarity with and appreciation for white nationalist terminology and literature, suggesting a potential connection to these signals within the administration.

Implications and Concerns

• 🎯 The use of these symbols is seen as a "wink and a nod" to white nationalists and Nazis, indicating a potential infiltration or sympathetic elements within the department.
• 💰 The discussion also touches upon the broader context of hiring practices within Border Patrol, with mention of signing bonuses, implying a disconnect or potential issues in recruitment and vetting.
