...The one genuine, unifying characteristic of all of these “extremists” is that they are not happy with a government which is spending beyond its means, taxing beyond our ability to pay and which encroaches more and more on our constitutionally guaranteed rights every day. In their statement the FBI is not actually identifying a real threat to public safety or to citizens, they are putting us on notice that public expression of justifiable anger at the government can get you labelled a dangerous criminal or even a terrorist.

This is a tactic intended purely and simply to intimidate and silence the public. They are sending the message that protest is a crime and speaking out against government will not be tolerated. The implications of this statement from the FBI are particularly ominous in the wake of efforts in the National Defense Appropriation Act, the PATRIOT Act and the pending Enemy Expatriation Act to empower the government to take away the most fundamental rights of citizens. As they did under Hoover, the FBI is categorizing people and making lists and if you don’t watch your step they’ll put you in a database and take away your rights.

The goal may be to intimidate critics of government, but they are also showing us why we so desperately need to take our government back before these threats of abuse of power turn into full-fledged tyranny.

Refuse to be a slave to the District of Criminals? You are an extremist terrorist!!!

And those Muslims you label as such are not. They are very peaceful and are our friends whom we love more than you.

It sounds like the real problem is Congress, the Judicial Branch and the President, and the solution is to cut spending to less than what is taken in, pay off debt and do not borrow any more, and have the President, Congress and the Judicial Branch follow the constitution. What is so hard about that?

And in other news, The National Institute of Health has said that it is a danger to women’s health and safety of their families, that for 30 years to be exposed to the prospects of pregnancy.

“They are also the same kinds of extreme views which were held by our founding fathers.”

Christians and our Founding Fathers have been called terrorists by the Feds via this FEMA guy.

IIRC, the Brits back in the day called our Founding Fathers the same thing.

FBI Warns that People Who Use AOL at Internet Cafés Could be Terrorists

America Online users beware: If you access your AOL account from a computer at an Internet café, your name may wind up on a terrorist-watch list.

According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), AOL users at public computer venues are just one possible type of suspicious person that business owners need to keep tabs on. The FBI has been distributing flyers to paintball centers, banks, dive shops and even tattoo shops to educate them on how to spot potential terrorist activities.

...The flyers do remind business owners and their employees that “It is important to remember that just because someone’s speech, actions, beliefs, appearance, or way of life is different; it does not mean that he or she is suspicious.”

How did we get to the point where our leadership hates its own citizenry so much?

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.

Didn't OWS have this many incidents of violent crimes in their first month? Let alone since then.

Big government is purposely antagonizing the people as part of the plan to further intimidate us into silence.

I have stated here numerous times that I will not participate in obama’s gov unHealthcare farce. Who is with me?

That’s what I thought-nobody.

Its time to stand up for what is right people.

“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.”

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.

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.”

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...

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