...if anything, the level of far right violence has been rising steadily for the last two decades.

Horsepuckey.

Based on analysis of 4,400 cases of violent attacks by far-right elements in a 22-year period

Sounds impressive, but at 1 incident perpetrated per year by each member of a group constituting .00006% of the population - contrasted with over a million violent crimes per year - is little more than statistical noise. Far-left elements/adherents surpass that rate in individual protests, not just over years.

And that's not considering that what he's calling "far-right elements" are often originated from the Left (KKK) and are so far out there they are completely disconnected from the left/right spectrum period.

” Now the West Pointers are being prepared to turn their guns against Americans. This is a very dangerous trend, folks.”

Very dangerous. Watch out for those “patriots”
This could have been written by Holder.

” Christians, conservatives, the KKK and skinheads all tied together as a giant lurking iceberg. How convenient and right out of the Joseph Goebbels School of Propaganda. “

Exactly.

Obama really tipped his hand at the UN. Nobody reported it, so nobody noticed.

I was wrong. All the way at the bottom there is a contact button. You get to leave a general comment. Mine is polite but strongly worded.

“You would be amazed by the percentage of former military SpecOps guys currently employed by the federal alphabet agencies in their “Special Response Teams.”

It’s almost a prerequisite for entrance today. USMC MarSoc, SEALs, Rangers, SFs etc.”

Well, I guess we’re doomed then. I suppose they are convinced they’re protecting America from the terrorists.

Of that they are convinced.

But they cannot win a war of attrition.

And their opponents, while many are older and off a bit from their peak, are still numerous and highly effective.

Arie Perliger, a world expert on the study of terror and security said the following:

>>Ideologically, anti-federalists are interested in undermining the influence, legitimacy and practical sovereignty of the federal government and its proxy organizations, such as the U.S. military or Federal Bureau of Investigation.[3] This rationale is multifaceted, and includes the belief that the U.S. political system and its proxies have been hijacked by external forces interested in promoting a New World Order (NWO),[4] in which the United States will be absorbed into the United Nations or another version of global government; strong convictions regarding the corrupted and tyrannical nature of the federal government and its related natural tendency to intrude on individuals’ civilian lives and constitutional rights; and finally, perceptions supporting civilian activism, individual freedoms, and self governing the way they were manifested in the frontier culture in U.S. history, especially during the Revolutionary War and the expansion to the American west. Hence, anti-federalist groups see themselves as part of a struggle to restore or preserve the United States’ “true” identity, values and “way of life” and as the successors of the country’s founding fathers.<<

These are some quotes that his professors neglected to mention in the classroom. The author, Dr. Are Perliger needs to look up for himself.

.

"The illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a little longer. [The New World Order] cannot happen without U.S. participation, as we are the most significant single component. Yes, there will be a New World Order, and it will force the United States to change it's perceptions. "

Henry Kissinger
World Affairs Council Press Conference,
Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel,
April 19th 1994.

"We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order." -- David Rockefeller - New World Order globalist

"Out of these troubled times, our fifth objective – a New World Order – can emerge. . . Now, we can see a New World Order coming into view. A world in which there is a very real prospect for a New World Order. . .A world where the United Nations, freed from a Cold War stalemate, is poised to fulfill the historic vision of its founders." -- George H. W. Bush told the U.N. on September 11th 1990

"Sarah, if the American people had ever known the truth about what we Bushes have done to this nation, we would be chased down in the streets and lynched." -- George H.W. Bush to reporter Sarah McClendon in 1992

"We shall have one world government whether or not you like it, by conquest or consent." -- CFR member James Warburg before a Senate Foreign Relations Committee February 17, 1950

I deeply regret that it’s come to this. This country could be a paradise if not for some of it’s citizens which are determined to bring it down.

Just damn.

The premise is so flawed, especially the groups the author labels “right wing” in order to even have a premise as to be mind numbing.

The “ice burg” theory seems to assert that, even though we labeled every violent act we could as “right wing”, there still isn't much to foam at the mouth about. But that is because most of those right wingers are doing evil, violent stuff under the radar so there is no data to support the theory. Which proves they are out there, and really, REALLY dangerous.

SDS = subset of the Weather Underground. Now who do we know who were members of that little group? Hint: “they were just people in the neighborhood” where Bozo lived.

Anyone the government plans to stomp into the dirt with force is now a “right-wing extremist”. Christians, people that have read the Constitution, anyone with more than 1 days worth of food stocked up, anyone not on food stamps or government assistance, anyone who inherited their dad’s old .22 rifle, etc., etc., will be the recipient of 1.4 billion rounds of hollow point gunfire, or will fall under the treads of the new armored vehicles driven by DHS staffers.

“Minorities”, “journalists”, Ivy League college professors, and anyone with their hand out to the government is safe though.

“Either I’m an exception, or political discussion and conservative voting is low level violence.”

If things keep going as they are goin’, before too much longer, you may not be the exception...
