The Department of Homeland Security is under fire after social media users noticed the agency released an article with a 14-word headline that appears to mirror an infamous 14-word slogan popular among white supremacists and neo-Nazis.

A (very) brief bit background. The so-called “14 words” refer to the phrase, “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.” The phrase was coined by white supremacist David Lane, while serving a 190-year federal prison sentence for his role in multiple armed robberies and the murder of Jewish talk show host Alan Berg.

The “14 words” are frequently used in conjunction with the number 88 because “H” is the eighth letter of the alphabet and therefore 88 becomes “HH” which stands for “Heil Hitler.” According to dictionary.com, “1488, along with other variations, is a secret code used by neo-Nazis and other white supremacists to identify and signal their ideology.”

1. Jesus!

4. Trump and the GOP/religious right are quickly dropping their masks

Babies separated and locked in cages, concentration camps for tens of thousands of people being built on military bases, DHS using nazi terminology and...surprise...a supreme court justice decides to retire before the blue wave midterm elections giving Shitler another pick for SCOTUS.

I still say the last presidential election was a right wing coup and was stolen from Hillary.

Call me crazy if you must but this whole thing reeks of conspiracy IMO.

6. Fake News Fuckers are insane.. we're

just trying to deal with all the insanity.

There has to be time soon that the pendulum swings back our way.

We need the house and senate to stop Trump's president for life schemes and the treachery of the Grand Old Traitor party.

2. We're around stage 4 of the 10 stage Nazi like state, they're throwing out trial baloons

[workinclasszero]

10. I agree

And the media warns us to be polite to the fascists.

A press room was attacked today and 5 killed. Maybe the press will rethink their be kind to Nazis demand now.

3. Trumps admin has employed many 88ers and their tactics, hardcore true believers

5. Trump is a Nazi, but this seems like coincidence.

The words 'we must secure' seem like would be a normal phrase used by anyone working at a security agency.

If it had contained more of the phrase such as 'We must secure the existence of our people and build the wall...' etc then I would say it was deliberate, but the phrase on DHS site seems pretty standard.

7. Really? With all this going on?

Babies separated and locked in cages, concentration camps for tens of thousands of people being built on military bases, DHS using nazi terminology and...surprise...a supreme court justice decides to retire before the blue wave midterm elections giving Shitler another pick for SCOTUS.

This is no coincidence IMO

9. I think the underlying sentiment is 1488

when it comes to Trump and his policies, of course, but I don't think whoever wrote the phrase and started it with 'we must secure' (which seems like a normal phrase for a security agency to make) took it from the 14 words or whatever, but I guess it could be, with how fascist this admin is ...

15. I agree with you on this.

They do not deserve the benefit of the doubt on any of their fascist actions or statements.

14. What kind of serious heroin bender does a low intellect need to come up with 14-words, 88, and 1488?
