starting a phrase about the border with "We Must Secure" is actually pretty common among politicians, like I can find examples of Deval Patrick and Marco Rubio doing it.

the fact that it's 14 words and the particular rhythm of it, and the fact that its an agency in charge of ethnic cleansing, makes me think its a nazi having a bit of fun but whatever.

they have plausible deniability on their side

That's not the statistic they cite

The increase in claims filed is not associated with an increase in meritorious claims. As of FY 17, the asylum grant rate for defensive applications in immigration court is approximately 30%. On average, out of 88 claims that pass the credible fear screening, fewer than 13 will ultimately result in a grant of asylum.

I mean, if you read 14 words beginning with "we must secure" about how racism is great from anyone else in the world you'd think they might be a bit shifty.

The fact that it's a US government department doing it, well, doesn't that just make it more likely to be true at this point?

I'm really not sure it's equivalent to people thinking a random 4chan gibberish poster is nostradamus.

Not all coded messaging is insane nonsense, and white supremacists are really well known for doing it unironically.

I'm talking about the numerology stuff looking for magic numbers like 1488 or numbers which are "close enough" to those magic numbers like 13 that they can be rationalized into a post hoc fit if you want to find those numbers bad enough.

It's numerology when a sentence contains a 88 and a "fewer than 13" and then you say "fewer than 13 is 14!" to jam 1488 into it. Or say there is 14 bullet points because if you count them there is 13 and one of them has two topics so that is 14 bullet points. And like as DHS points out even like nancy pelosi has said "we must secure our borders" because it's a super common phrase.

Like DHS and law enforcement and ICE are extremely racist organizations and contain people that are actual neo-nazis but at the same time any sort of claim that the evil group is hiding a bunch of coded messages in plain sight is pretty much universally parts of conspiracy and very very very rarely pans out.

There are 14 words in the opening phrase, and then an inexplicable 88 jammed into the end of the document. It is 100% Neo-Nazi signaling. I don't know why it's so completely baffling to you that monsters like to signal to each other, but this is all extremely well documented and easily recognized behavior.

Flipping pictures around until the symbols look like some other symbol isn't much different from coming up with post hoc numerology strategies to turn some number into some other number with a special meaning.

"This paper uses the number 14/88" hmm I agree a little dodgy. Compare:

"This paper uses the number X/88, and if you come up with another number Y on your own then X+Y = 14 which just proves it's a secret code to disguise 14/88 for anyone except the elect with the secret knowledge"

No, the publication has a literal 14 word title beginning with "we must secure" and 88 at the end, and is about how we need to keep the foreigners out, from a government and a department that behaves really loving fashy in a lot of ways.

That's not numerology. And it's really not comparable with the idea that the pope likes to gently caress little boys because he sat in a chair that if you turn it backwards and squint a lot looks like some random symbol nobody's ever heard of that supposedly means you like to gently caress little boys.

The pope likes loving little boys because he's the head of the catholic church, not because he displays it in weird nonsensical, spurious ways. Whereas 1488 symbolism is a well documented thing that actual neo nazis do a lot because they're sad baby men and also the US government behaves like actual loving fascists openly.

Like, how is it a reach? They do nazi poo poo to people, and that nazis are weirdos who like advertising their nazism in coded ways is easily documented.

Yes that's exactly what I'm saying, because people are trying to argue like the number 1488 actually appeared and that it's ridiculous to be skeptical of such an obvious symbol, when in reality an 88 appeared in the denominator of a fraction with a 13 for a numerator and they're arguing that if you replace that 13 with a 14 then it's totally the magic symbol and of course the really clever Nazis would signal with random numbers because you're expected to know to replace them with the special numbers.

You are deliberately misinterpreting the arguments being presented in this thread. No one has gave a single solitary poo poo about the 13 lines in the article, the article opens with a direct reference to the literal 14 words. And then ends with attacked on statistic that is just an excuse to use the number 88.

I'm starting to see why you have your reputation of being willfully ignorant.

You... do know that the 14 and the 88 in 1488 aren't actually related, yeah? Like they come from two different bits of neonazi coding?

And that, like, they still have meaning on their own? Hence why we have the 14 words and you see the odd neonazi signing off with just 88?

And again, we know neo nazis do this, this isn't some weird thing nobody has heard of before. I don't know why they feel the need to talk in loving codes at each other but they demonstrably do. It makes no sense to be incredulous about the very idea of them doing that.
