KeepAndBearArms.com — The Phoenix Federal Bureau of Investigation created a flyer some time back during Clinton's Presidency, asking the recipients to help them fight domestic terrorism. I received one of these flyers this past weekend at the Arizona "Freedom in the 21st Century" gathering. The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office (Greater Phoenix, Arizona) and the Maricopa County Attorney were placed on the flyer, as well — before they saw the actual wording of the flyer — in an effort by the FBI to "work jointly with local law enforcement."
Called the Joint Terrorism Task Force, the program was created, presumably, to help preserve the American way of life. This flyer was created — by the feds — to disseminate information about who the bad guys might be. However, its wording made it look like a disinformation campaign to paint at least a few groups of Real Americans as domestic terrorists. Among other things, the FBI was asking people:
"If you encounter any of the following, Call the Joint Terrorism Task Force":
"defenders of the US Constitution against federal government and the UN"
[That describes many civil liberties groups and most gun rights and American Sovereignty groups in existence — and, by extension, their members.]
"Groups of individuals engaging in para-military training"
[Such as, perhaps, shooting your semi-automatic "assault weapon" with some friends out in the desert?"]
Also being sought are "Common Law Movement Proponents" who
"Request authority for a stop"
[That's illegal now?]
"Make numerous references to the US Constitution"
[That's illegal now?]
"Attempt to 'police the police'"
[That's illegal now?]
And let's not forget the other potential "domestic terrorists" being sought. We really need to watch out for these people:
"Lone Individuals"
[Do you meet that description?]
"Rebels"
[Know any gun rights activist who doesn't have at least a touch of rebel pumping through the old bloodstream?]
Be sure and notice the following two things on the flyer, as well:
1) There is NOT ONE MENTION of "Islamic Fundamentalists" anywhere.
2) Defenders of the US Constitution and the common law from which it grew are being classified on the same level as the bottom-feeding Skinheads, Nazis and the KKK.
I remember having that document in my hands and reading it. I did note it was for official use only. It was disseminated. I was in a MA pd. It was provided for special in-service training for supervisors.....lieutenants and up, IIRC....by fedgov instructors. A few copies of the material were left behind in the classroom. It is real. 1992??
Yeah....I remember pealing the NRA and GOAL stickers from my car. I was warned about people loke me, and I’ve been somewhat stealthier since. Lol
Oh yeah....the training is on-going. I walked into the classroom a few years ago when the department brass were assembling for it...prolly annually, since it began. I noticed the material on the tables.
Good news is that it’s not taken too seriously.
I don’t know who the bad guys are this year.
Give me Liberty or give me Death!
Bumper or “attitude” stickers on a vehicle are like tattoos... the provide no added value and only act to identify the bearer of the mark.
