FBI Announces that Americans Are Now a Threat to America
RLC ^ | February 7, 2012 | Dave Nalle

Posted on 02/10/2012 8:27:20 AM PST by opentalk

Following the pattern of other provocative statements about potential domestic terrorist threats from the Obama Justice Department, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has issued a statement exposing the threat of “hundreds of thousands” of “sovereign citizens” who can turn violent “at the drop of a hat” during encounters with the police.

Citing three specific cases in three years and a trend of an increase in arrests of believers in individual sovereignty from 10 to 18 cases per year, mostly for non-violent crimes, the FBI declared law enforcement to be “inundated” with threats.

This may be the most exaggerated and offensive example of specious fearmongering to come out of an administration which has been promoting irrational fear of generally harmless groups of citizens for three years.

The FBI is taking aim at a huge body of citizens who are increasingly angry about government abuse of power and irresponsibility and attempting to turn them into a movement of dangerous potential terrorists.

These dangerous “extremists” hold such horrific views as “outrage at tax collection,” defying environmental regulations and believing that “the United States went bankrupt by going off the gold standard.” The FBI is identifying them as “sovereign citizens” and is defining them as a members of a movement... a characteristic shared by about half the nation’s population.

...The kinds of concerns which the FBI is using to identify these potentially dangerous citizens are not the hallmarks of dangerous extremism. They are mostly reasonable concerns over the current state of our government held by tens of millions of fairly ordinary citizens who have legitimate reasons to be dissatisfied with government.

.. They are targeting Americans for the crime of being American and for holding to values of independence and self-reliance on which our nation was built.

I am pretty sure they are talking about the violent “sovereign citizens” living on the South and West sides of Chicago who turn violent “at the drop of a hat”. Most of these sovereign citizens are Eric Holder’s peeps.

I wouldn’t worry about it. We probably won’t see any large scale round up type arrests of these anti-government types until about November 5.

Rush is hitting this hard today. Obama has no power to declare who has to provide birth control and abortion for free. How nice of him to change his mind to force insurance companies to pay when he has no power either way.

some type of psychological method used to trick the public into accepting a power grab.

It is also assumed a baby is not human, disposable. Pregnancy is treated like a disease...

Because Missouri law enforcement was so 2008:

“Copied from Husaria.com

Please copy, paste, and circulate this press release from the Governor of Missouri.

Note the Web domain of the press release, governor.mo.gov. This is not “someone’s blog,” a “rumor,” or a “smear.” It is the official Web site of Missouri’s state government. The Governor of Missouri says openly that Barack Obama conspired to misuse his state’s law enforcement resources to “threaten and intimidate his critics.”

“Gen. Yevgraf Zhivago: [narrating over a military parade in Moscow] In bourgeois terms, it was a war between the Allies and Germany. In Bolshevik terms, it was a war between the Allied and German upper classes - and which of them won was of total indifference. My task was to organize defeat, so as to hasten the onset of revolution.”

Shock Docs: Total Federalization of Police Under New Homeland Security Mission

...A new white paper presented to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence carves out an ‘evolving mission’ for Homeland Security that moves away from fighting terrorism and towards growing a vast domestic intelligence apparatus that would expand integration with local/state agencies and private-public partnerships already underway via regional fusion centers.

Crafted by the Aspen Institute Homeland Security Group, co-chaired by former DHS chief Michael Chertoff and composed of a who’s who of national security figures, the report outlines a total mission creep, as the title “Homeland Security and Intelligence: Next Steps in Evolving the Mission” implies.

Significantly, it puts on paper and into the Congressional record a proposed transition from outwardly dealing with the threats posed by terrorism towards intelligence gathering “focused on more specific homeward-focused areas.” That is, the homegrown, domestic threats we’ve heard so much about from Big Sis already.

In short, it confirms the intentions of key insiders– including former NSA/CIA head Michael Hayden, former Rep. Jane Harmon, former Secretary of State Madeline Albright, 9/11 Commissioners Philip Zelikow and Richard Ben-Viniste, former National Security Advisor Samuel Berger and others– to flesh out a plan we have already seen developing from an outside perspective– namely, to build a domestic Stasi-like force to takeover, monitor and control the population.

Oh, no, no, no, they are merely engaging in "cultural expression."

No need for concern.

Better to investigate those dangerous un-American subversives that are "outraged" at having their tax dollars pissed away by GDVDs.

Americans are funny about things like trying to install a Nazi style police state.

You see developments like these and it tells you the liberal revisioners of history were so full of crap. There's no way that American colonists revolted for money or material means. The only way they put the hammer down on the royalists they once trusted, is because what they were as men and free individuals had come right up backs against the wall.

In my solitary martial art practice I used to visualize exconvicts on steroids to put my attitude on, but lately I keep visualizing uniforms and body armor. Not because I choose to, but because I have to be a windvane facing my fear, and I fear that. That would be a very bad day.

Going for a walk...think of other things...

Mr.Lincoln @1858 A House divided against itself cannot stand.” He built a political speech around Bible Truth . He aptly noted policy instituted. Promise to remedy “agitation “ and suggested the problem had gotten worse not better.Predicting if allowed proceed the Nation would be in crisis.c.f. The nation divided against itself in 1947 when the Ku Klux Klansman and the ACLU symps colluded to divide the nation against itself. Promise of remedy for the agitation between those who believed we were a Christian nation-and those who wanted what the Soviet Communists promised. More than five years have passed. All my life and more—and we look more like the failed soviet Communist state—or perhaps Nazi Germany than the nation established.
Sometimes it seems Crisis -a real shooting war—would be a relief. -At least we would have something positive we could do.TEA anyone?

This is the first time I’ve seen your statement-I know a few other people who won’t be participating.

Go to any Department or Agency of the federal government in Washington, DC and you will realize how few “patriots” are employed by the federal government.

The vast, vast majority are lazy, incompetent, over-paid clock-watchers.

I had dealings with the Commerce Department here in DC. I was submitting a bid for a large contract.

People stood around talking in the halls for over an hour. I knew this because I would see them hanging around while I walked between offices.

In the end I lost the bid to the contract when the Contracting Officer illegally gave all my bid documents to another vendor. I found out she had dealings with that specific vendor and was receiving kickbacks. She went to jail but I lost a LOT of money as Commerce shut down the project rather than admit the corruption.

“She went to jail...”

Think of thousands or tens of thousands that easily game the system and never get caught. DC is a rats’ nest. We need to elect the Orkin exterminator guy as president to rid us of the infestation in the federal gov’t.

Obama won’t run a shooting civil war, the regime can’t count on the army. So they will run a proxy war with union thugs, illegals and OWS as their brownshirts.

The FBI is a terrorist organization engaged in sedition. It’s not your daddy’s FBI and hasn’t been in decades.

“So they will run a proxy war with union thugs, illegals and OWS as their brownshirts.”

The only place these 30 IQ slugs can operate is in big, liberal cities in the Northeast and California.

Last spring, Holder’s “peeples” got a bit too frisky in Columbia, South Carolina, and are facing 20 years in prison under the state’s anti-lynching law.

People in the south know how to take care of black pampers, fat SEIU sows and OWS apes.

Come on down, ya’ll. We need to exercise our new freedoms under the castle doctrine that the SC Supreme Court just liberalized and expanded.
