Submitted by Mike Krieger via Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,

What you are about to read from CNN is just the very beginning of the intentional demonization of a growing segment of the U.S. population that rightly believes the government is run by a collective of thieving, corrupt, immoral sociopaths. This isn’t speculation either, years of content on this site serves as definitive proof that this is true. Commingling dissent, violence and “right wing” ideology will be key in the ultimate division of government critics in these United States, and a successful attempt to scare people away from questioning a clearly degraded and parasitic status quo.

The writing has been on the wall for many years, and I’ve warned about this development on many occasions (links at the end). If Martin Armstrong’s model is correct, and the U.S. economy starts to move downward in fall 2015, dissent will spread across the land like brushfire and the status quo will call dissenters terrorists (they already did this during Occupy Wall Street). My advice to everyone listening is don’t fall for it, and instead unite together in order to achieve a peaceful societal and economic paradigm shift.

Sure, there will always be Neo Nazis and genuine racist crazies out there who hate the government merely because they are small-minded and filled with hate, but they are a small number compared to those who have genuine grievances against the system which are not being redressed. Stories like the following are pure government propaganda and are guaranteed to increase exponentially in the years ahead.

From CNN:

Washington (CNN) They’re carrying out sporadic terror attacks on police, have threatened attacks on government buildings and reject government authority.

Notice how CNN commingles violence with “rejecting government authority.” This is intentional, and meant to subliminally link the two ideas in the minds of the feeble minded who still get their news from CNN. In reality, there is no such connection. Conversely, this country was founded on the idea that a people should only submit to government when it working in their best interests. The first paragraph of the American Declaration of Independence is explicit:

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

Incredibly, this sentiment is now being associated with terrorism. Back to CNN.

A new intelligence assessment, circulated by the Department of Homeland Security this month and reviewed by CNN, focuses on the domestic terror threat from right-wing sovereign citizen extremists and comes as the Obama administration holds a White House conference to focus efforts to fight violent extremism.

Some federal and local law enforcement groups view the domestic terror threat from sovereign citizen groups as equal to — and in some cases greater than — the threat from foreign Islamic terror groups, such as ISIS, that garner more public attention.?

The Homeland Security report, produced in coordination with the FBI, counts 24 violent sovereign citizen-related attacks across the U.S. since 2010.

The government says these are extremists who believe that they can ignore laws and that their individual rights are under attack in routine daily instances such as a traffic stop or being required to obey a court order.

While groups like ISIS and al Qaeda garner the most attention, for many local cops, the danger is closer to home.

A survey last year of state and local law enforcement officers listed sovereign citizen terrorists, ahead of foreign Islamists, and domestic militia groups as the top domestic terror threat.

The Homeland Security report’s focus on right-wing terrorists is a subject that garnered political controversy for the Obama administration in the past. In 2009, a Homeland Security report on possible recruitment of military veterans by right-wing militia groups prompted an outcry from veterans groups.

Importantly, the report emanates from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), a bloated, ineffective, pointless and dangerous agency. Vox recent wrote an excellent article on the topic. Here are a few excerpts:

This hasn’t stopped DHS from trying to develop its own security capacity. It just means that whatever DHS does is already being done elsewhere in the government. And that duplication and fragmentation has made the national-security apparatus even harder to manage.

Take the example of equipment grants to state and local law enforcement. There were already two different federal programs to help police departments get equipment: the Department of Defense’s 1033 program, which sends out surplus military gear to law enforcement (and requires they use it within a year), and the Department of Justice’s Byrne grant program. But DHS now has its own set of grants to allow police departments to purchase military and other equipment. It’s supposed to be used for counterterrorism, but (just as with the other grant programs) police often end up using the equipment for routine drug enforcement.

And as a recent White House report pointed out, having three different departments giving resources to local police has made it harder to track how those resources get used. If the Department of Justice, for example, finds out that a police department has been misusing funds or violating the constitution, it can cut off DOJ grant money — but the police department can turn around and apply for help from the Department of Defense and DHS.

Or think of “fusion centers,” regional hubs supported by DHS to share information among multiple federal agencies and between state, local and federal law enforcement. The fusion centers aren’t limited to sharing information about terrorism (they’re also supposed to monitor other types of crime), but it’s definitely a big component of their mission. The problem is that the FBI already has Joint Terrorism Task Forces to investigate terrorism, and Field Intelligence Groups to share information about it. In a 2013 study, the Government Accountability Office looked at eight cities, and found that the fusion centers in all eight cities overlapped at least partially with the FBI’s counterterrorism work — and in four of them, there was nothing the fusion centers did that the FBI wasn’t already doing. (There are also other things within DHS that overlap with fusion centers’ other purposes.)

The DHS is an agency looking for a problem. Which is why it had nothing better to do last year than raid the makers of women’s world series underwear. Recall: “War on Terror” Targets Underwear – Department of Homeland Security Raids Maker of Unlicensed World Series Panties.

We simply don’t need it, and the longer it exists, the great threat to liberty it will become.

We are all terrorists now!

No sources for proof of what they are talking about.

Most likely complete BS. Yet will be shared throughout the media as fact!

Well, you knew this would happen. In order for Obama to get everybodys eyes what he’s doing with his CIA ISIS team, he needs to create an internal war like what Russia has going on in Ukraine. I suspect the CIA will set off some bombs in a couple of US cities and then start launching raids on US Vets and drag them through the streets like what happened in Somalia. The terror is about to begin, orchestrated by the WH

I see it now. “Right wing Christians are the real terrorists.” “9/11 was self defense.”

The Muslims are beheading, crucifying, and barbecuing Christians and others alive. And obama directs America’s resources to be deployed against innocent American people.

If it's like anything in the past (Ruby Ridge, Waco) 50 percent of the members are government informants/instigators. The rest could easily be arrested but the government needs them.

The unprecedented assault on citizens and businesses by this administration.

I wasn't the first to identify it..

Autoimmune disorder is a condition that occurs when the governing system both mistakenly and deliberately attacks and destroys healthy body politic.

But I think I am the first to ID the primary cause. It is caused by unstable radicals.

The system gets overwhelmed by aged 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus radical, psycho spoiled brats and their ideological litters occupying government buildings in Washington.

What about the left wing terrorists who gather up our sons an daughters, send them to war, but make big announcements to the enemy that troops are on their way? And then tell those troops that they can’t have guns, OR, that they can’t use their guns, OR have to turn them over to the enemy if the enemy demands they do so?

What about the left wing terrorists who can actually DO something to put officials on notice, but refuse to?

What about the brown terrorists they import and seek to hide as they import folks from south of the border because you can’t tell a middle easterner from a Mexican or Cuban? What about that?

Right wing terrorists? Excuse me, but that’s just a little of the pot calling the kettle black!!

I watched CNN when talking about right wing domestic terrorists and sure enough, there was a man from the Southern Poverty Law Center there speaking about these right wing potential terrorists.

I have already written a post on another thread about this. I am a conservative and not a terrorist. Are you? Of course you are not but being a conservative means you are suspect. And, if you are a prepper, you are MORE likely to be a terrorist. Got food and water?

The way you frame their infamy and treason, brings me to my knees in prayer.

Heaven help us!

Just read this, it’s from a Ukrainian Russian, I think. Read it with a grain of salt. But it does make the case for keeping the US dollar intact. It also explains isil.

Of course, all the left-wing terrorists like Earth First! and all the other environmentalist wackos are never mentioned.

Neither are the New Black Panthers.

Then there’s that piece of crap Lois Lerner, who should be in prison.

If u call it black u r a racist!

Sorry, I have a black cast iron frying pan, several that I love. I, according to this Muslim group in the white house am a racist. Terrorism is not far behind.

Sending our son’s and daughters to war for oil is expected. Don’t question the status quo!!!
