Then-DHS Secy Janet Napolitano revealed Obama's intentions---classifying the military as domestic terror threats.
Unbelievably, Obama hatched a plan to have the US government search the homes of military when terror threats surfaced. (more on Obama/Biden-flunky Napolitano below)
=====================================
Educational materials from the Department of Defense (DOD) depict conservative organizations as “hate groups” and to be aware that “many extremists will talk of individual liberties, states’ rights, and how to make the world a better place.” The documents favorably and repeatedly cite the leftwing Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) as a resource for identifying “hate groups.”
Judicial Watch obtained the DOD documents in a response to a Freedom of Information Act request filed April 8, 2013. The FOIA requested: “Any and all records concerning, regarding, or related to the preparation and presentation of training materials on hate groups or hate crimes distributed or used by the Air Force.”
Included in the 133 pages of lesson plans and PowerPoint slides provided by the Air Force is a January 2013 Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute “student guide” entitled “Extremism.” The document says that it is “for training purposes only.”
HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:
Anyone opposed to Agenda 21, anyone concerned about FEMA camps, that “fears impending gun control or weapons confiscations,” the militia movement, sovereign citizen movement, that “don’t think they should have to pay taxes”
Anyone that “complains about bias,” that “believes in government conspiracies, that “is frustrated with mainstream ideologies,” that “visits extremist websites/blogs,” that “establishes website/blog to display extremist views," that “attends rallies for extremist causes,” that “exhibits extreme religious intolerance," that is personally connected with a grievance,” that “suddenly acquires weapons,” that “organizes protests inspired by extremist ideology”
“Militia or unorganized militia,” “General right-wing extremist,” Citizens that have “bumper stickers” that are patriotic or anti-U.N., those that refer to an “Army of God,” that are “fiercely nationalistic (as opposed to universal and international in orientation),” that are “anti-global,” that are “suspicious of centralized federal authority,” that “revere individual liberty,” that “believe in conspiracy theories”
Those that have “a belief that one’s personal and/or national ‘way of life’ is under attack,” that possess “a belief in the need to be prepared for an attack either by participating in paramilitary preparations and training or survivalism,” that would “impose strict religious tenets or laws on society (fundamentalists)” that would “insert religion into the political sphere,” that would “seek to politicize religion,” that have “supported political movements for autonomy.”

CIRCA 2009---OBAMA'S DHS Secy Napolitano stands by controversial report naming "extremists"
By Eli Lake and Audrey Hudson - The Washington Times Thursday, April 16, 2009
CIRCA 2009 ---Obama's Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Wednesday that she was briefed before the release of a controversial intelligence assessment and that she stands by the report, which lists returning veterans among terrorist risks to the U.S.
But the top House Democrat with oversight of the Department of Homeland Security said in a letter to Ms. Napolitano that he was “dumbfounded” that such a report would be issued. “This report appears to raise significant issues involving the privacy and civil liberties of many Americans - including war veterans,” said Rep. Bennie Thompson a Black Democrat from Mississippi, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, in his letter sent Tuesday night.
The Democrat's letter was representative of a public furor over the nine-page document since its existence was reported in The Washington Times on Tuesday. In her statement Wednesday, Ms. Napolitano defended the report, which says “rightwing extremism” may include groups opposed to abortion and immigration, as merely one among several threat assessments. But she agreed to meet with the head of the American Legion, who had expressed anger over the report, when she returns to Washington next week from a tour of the U.S.-Mexico border.
“The document on right-wing extremism sent last week by this department’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis is one in an ongoing series of assessments to provide situational awareness to state, local and tribal law enforcement agencies on the phenomenon and trends of violent radicalization in the United States,” Ms. Napolitano said in her statement. “I was briefed on the general topic, which is one that struck a nerve as someone personally involved in the Timothy McVeigh prosecution,” Ms. Napolitano said. • Click here to download a PDF of the report. Ms. Napolitano insisted that the department was not planning on engaging in any form of ideological profiling. “Let me be very clear: We monitor the risks of violent extremism taking root here in the United States. We don’t have the luxury of focusing our efforts on one group; we must protect the country from terrorism whether foreign or homegrown, and regardless of the ideology that motivates its violence,” Ms. Napolitano said.
“ We are on the lookout for criminal and terrorist activity but we do not - nor will we ever - monitor ideology or political beliefs. We take seriously our responsibility to protect the civil rights and liberties of the American people, including subjecting our activities to rigorous oversight from numerous internal and external sources.”
The Times reported Tuesday that the department’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis (I&A) issued April 7 the nine-page document titled “Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment.” Outcry from veterans groups, Republican lawmakers and conservative activists followed, but the reaction spread Wednesday to Democratic lawmakers and liberal-leaning groups.
In his letter to Ms. Napolitano, Cong Thompson demanded that Homeland Security officials explain how and why they wrote the report and whether it poses any threat to civil liberties. “As I am certain you agree, freedom of association and freedom of speech are guaranteed to all Americans - whether a person’s beliefs, whatever their political orientation, are ‘extremist’ or not,” Mr. Thompson said. Mr. Thompson said the report “blurred the line,” and that he is “disappointed and surprised that the department would allow this report to be disseminated” to law enforcement officials nationwide.
Homeland Security officials have declined to say who wrote report, except that it was a career official and not a political appointee. Only three employees are listed in the Federal Yellow Book as working for the I&A office - acting Undersecretary Roger Mackin and two executive assistants. Mr. Thompson’s letter said, “I am particularly struck by the report’s conclusion which states that I&A ‘will be working with its state and local partners over the next several months to ascertain with greater regional specificity the rise in right-wing extremist activity in the United States with a particular emphasis on the political, economic, and social factors that drive right-wing extremist radicalization.’ ” He demanded to know what types of activities the Homeland Security Department had planned for “the next several months.” “Rightwing extremism,” the report said in a footnote on Page 2, goes beyond religious and racial hate groups and extends to “those that are mainly anti-government, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely.” “It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration,” said the report, which also listed gun owners and veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars as potential risks.
The assessment is not the first Obama/Biden-era Homeland Security product to examine threats based on political extremism. In January, the department sent law enforcement officials an assessment of cyber-terrorism threats from such left-leaning sources as environmental, animal rights and anarchist groups.
Mike German, policy counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union and a former FBI agent, said his organization was concerned about law enforcement agencies’ focus on radicalization, regardless of the specific ideology. “Certainly, the right-wing report is focused far too much on rhetoric and things people say and things people think rather than on criminal activity and the people involved in criminal activity,” he said. “There is plenty of crime out there for federal, state and local law enforcement to worry about. They don’t need to invent threats that they have no factual basis for supporting.”
The American Legion on Tuesday said the latest report unfairly stereotypes veterans. “I am aware of the letter from American Legion National Commander [David K.] Rehbein, and my staff has already contacted him to set up a meeting next week once I return from travel. I will tell him face-to-face that we honor veterans at DHS and employ thousands across the department, up to and including the Deputy Secretary,” Ms. Napolitano said.
“As the department responsible for protecting the homeland, DHS will continue to work with its state and local partners to prevent and protect against the potential threat to the United States associated with any rise in violent extremist activity,” Ms. Napolitano said.
Asked about the report at Wednesday’s White House briefing, press secretary Robert Gibbs said he has not spoken with President Obama specifically about it. “Without getting into the report, I think the president works hard every day to make sure that all Americans are safe and secure,” Mr. Gibbs said.
“And I would say that, as it relates to some aspect of the report, that the president believes those who serve our country represent the very best of it,” Mr. Gibbs said.
House Minority Leader John A. Boehner, Ohio Republican, said Wednesday that the department owes veterans an apology. “To characterize men and women returning home after defending our country as potential terrorists is offensive and unacceptable,” he said. “Everyone agrees that the department should be focused on protecting America, but using such broad-based generalizations about the American people is simply outrageous.”
Rep. Steve Buyer of Indiana, the ranking Republican on the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, called it “inconceivable” that the Obama administration would categorize veterans as a potential threat. “This kind of mischaracterization can lead to discrimination against veterans in our society, especially in the job market,” Mr. Buyer said. “Vietnam veterans were subjected to this unfair treatment, and I call upon President Obama and members of Congress to refute any similar stereotyping of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans.”

My eldest said he knew that name of Montoya because it reminded him of a film that had a character in it Hugo Montoya.
I do not digress, Remember of the term Character please.
I shall start with who that person is and from federal records where he has been.
He entered the FBI in 1991, and he would have been fresh meat without any grounding whatsoever.
He worked violent crime and led the fugitive task force, odd that he should Establish and Lead the FBI DIVISION Fugitive Task-force in San Antonio Texas.
First Serious Question:: what about ALL those senior to him, were they just dunderheads and he was the brightest bulb in the pack. Are they trying to tell us that since inception that Texas FBI had ZERO Fugitive task-force, Department, or even a small office in a basement that dealt with FBI Fugitives until this Noob came on the scene ????
Second Serious Question, how did this Noob get to be asked to ASSIST in the FBI Oklahoma Bombing Division after the bombing of the Federal Building there. ??????
His next posting was in 1996 - 5 years later after being in his first job as some sort of NOOB Savant he is transferred to San Juan FBI Division we seem to see that he gets demoted from his orgiginal level of Super Fed Noob to working in the Special Operations Group and SERVED as a surveillance Team leader on drug and violent crime.
Third Serious Question... So we are seeing that this guy who lept into the FBI in 1991, and Start and runs an FBI DIVISION then gets shifted in 1996 and becmes basically a Team leader surveillance??? Thats Some drop in rating is it not?
NOTE HERE, the FBI sorta looses place on WHAT YEAR he was transfered to Washington Field Office, ZERO date of that transfer of this highly esteemed past head of a Division in 1991 would you not say? and he joins the WFO National Security Squad where he LED DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN INVESTIGATIONS.. ??????
Forth Serious Question SuperNoob has been in the Spook game now 6 years plus an unknown and unrecorded number of years at the WFO, when the Feds miss saying a date it is because they do Not want you to know when things happened.
He Springs up in 2000 was promoted to FBI HEADQUARTERS to oversee national Securaty investigation - NOTE:: he was booted from there in 2002 to Milwaukee to become a supervisor of that FBI offices Counterintelligence squad:: NOTE, when they say Division that is accurate, when they say squad that is also accurate, it means a tiny unit within an existing Division.
Fifth Serious Question, after starting to notice a pattern going from top dog to running a squad then top dog then back to squad, would it be hidden in plain sight that these squads were wet work squads???
Well bingo in two years he jumps out of that squad and Back to the FBI Headquarters where he is Promoted to UNIT CHIEF of Counterintelligence and wow, he participates in setting up the FBI National CYBER Investigation Joint Task Force, but wait, there is more jumping ablout to come !!!
Two years later our intrepid Savant in 2007 Leaps to San Francisco as an Assistant Special Agent in charge of Their Counterintelligence Branch. He seems to be hot and cold getting promoted then demoted and up and down like a yo-yo.
2009 he was made Section Chief of the above Branch. dang the guy is good, and yes after typing all of this I am getting tired and humor creeps in.
Now here is the big time end of career move————
2011 he was promoted (cough cough) PROMOTED to the FBI HONOLULU Division of Counterintelligence till retiring one presumes as it is vague. In 2018 plus
All this from a guy who prior to the FBI was an infantry officer (no records found to verify that YET)
and had a BA in Journalism from Brigham Young University.
