Yesterday, Roger Hedgecock and the Liberty Papers posted an unclassified DHS Office of Intelligence and Analysis report titled:
The “report” was one of the most embarrassingly shoddy pieces of propaganda I’d ever read out of DHS. I couldn’t believe it was real.
I spent the day chasing down DHS spokespeople, who have been tied up preparing for a very important homeland security event later today: The First Lady is coming to visit their Washington office. Priorities, you know.
Well, the press office got back to me and verified that the document is indeed for real.
They were very defensive — preemptively so — in asserting that it was not a politicized document and that DHS had done reports on “leftwing extremism” in the past. I have covered DHS for many years and am quite familiar with past assessments they and the FBI have done on animal rights terrorists and environmental terrorists. But those past reports have always been very specific in identifying the exact groups, causes, and targets of domestic terrorism, i.e., the ALF, ELF, and Stop Huntingdon wackos who have engaged in physical harassment, arson, vandalism, and worse against pharmaceutical companies, farms, labs, and university researchers.
By contrast, the piece of crap report issued on April 7 is a sweeping indictment of conservatives. And the intent is clear. As the two spokespeople I talked with on the phone today made clear: They both pinpointed the recent “economic downturn” and the “general state of the economy” for stoking “rightwing extremism.” One of the spokespeople said he was told that the report has been in the works for a year. My b.s. detector went off the chart, and yours will, too, if you read through the entire report — which asserts with no evidence that an unquantified “resurgence in rightwing extremist recruitment and radicalizations activity” is due to home foreclosures, job losses, and…the historical presidential election.
In Obama land, there are no coincidences. It is no coincidence that this report echoes Tea Party-bashing left-wing blogs (check this one out comparing the Tea Party movement to the Weather Underground!) and demonizes the very Americans who will be protesting in the thousands on Wednesday for the nationwide Tax Day Tea Party.
From the report, p.2:
Rightwing extremism in the United States can be broadly divided into those groups, movements, and adherents that are primarily hate-oriented (based on hatred of particular religious, racial or ethnic groups), and those that are mainly antigovernment, 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.
From the report. p. 3:
(U//LES) Rightwing extremists are harnessing this historical election as a recruitment tool. Many rightwing extremists are antagonistic toward the new presidential administration and its perceived stance on a range of issues, including immigration and citizenship, the expansion of social programs to minorities, and restrictions on firearms ownership and use. Rightwing extremists are increasingly galvanized by these concerns and leverage them as drivers for recruitment. From the 2008 election timeframe to the present, rightwing extremists have capitalized on related racial and political prejudices in expanded propaganda campaigns, thereby reaching out to a wider audience of potential sympathizers.
(U) Exploiting Economic Downturn
(U//FOUO) Rightwing extremist chatter on the Internet continues to focus on the economy, the perceived loss of U.S. jobs in the manufacturing and construction sectors, and home foreclosures. Anti-Semitic extremists attribute these losses to a deliberate conspiracy conducted by a cabal of Jewish “financial elites.” These “accusatory” tactics are employed to draw new recruits into rightwing extremist groups and further radicalize those already subscribing to extremist beliefs. DHS/I&A assesses this trend is likely to accelerate if the economy is perceived to worsen.
From the report, p. 5:
(U//FOUO) Over the past five years, various rightwing extremists, including militias and white supremacists, have adopted the immigration issue as a call to action, rallying point,
and recruiting tool. Debates over appropriate immigration levels and enforcement policy generally fall within the realm of protected political speech under the First Amendment, but in some cases, anti-immigration or strident pro-enforcement fervor has been directed against specific groups and has the potential to turn violent.
And echoing the anti-military bigotry last seen in that disgusting Penn State University training video, there’s this on p. 7:
(U) Disgruntled Military Veterans
(U//FOUO) DHS/I&A assesses that rightwing extremists will attempt to recruit and radicalize returning veterans in order to exploit their skills and knowledge derived from military training and combat. These skills and knowledge have the potential to boost the capabilities of extremists—including lone wolves or small terrorist cells—to carry out violence. The willingness of a small percentage of military personnel to join extremist groups during the 1990s because they were disgruntled, disillusioned, or suffering from the psychological effects of war is being replicated today.
There’s no hackneyed left-wing stereotype of conservatives left behind in this DHS intelligence and analysis assessment. I asked both DHS spokespeople to tell me who, specifically, the report was accusing of “rightwing extremist chatter” and which “antigovernment” groups are being monitored as “extremists.” They say they’ll get back to me.
In the meantime, be aware of this from the report, p. 8:
(U//FOUO) DHS/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 rightwing extremist activity in the United States, with a particular emphasis on the political, economic, and social factors that drive rightwing extremist radicalization.
Better make a few last-minute signs for the Tea Party. Obama’s DHS is watching:
Honk if you’re a radicalized rightwing extremist!
Guilty of rightwing extremist chatter
Anti-government, pro-freedom: Sue me

All the more reason to attend one tommorrow!
Possibly as early as this weekend, at one, or more, of the "Patriots Day" Appleseed shoots?
That could be "interesting".

Crazy Homeland Security Warning on “Rightwing” authored by Brian Marcus - DHS Analyst
I love her eyes. So full of love and life. I am sure she loves God.
It's in the document...
From the report, p.2: Rightwing extremism in the United States can be broadly divided into those groups, movements, and adherents that are primarily hate-oriented (based on hatred of particular religious, racial or ethnic groups), and those that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely.
Favoring states rights over Federal authority on certain issues is a sign of extremism now?!?
I guess it's a predictable tactic of an extreme leftist administration to brand people espousing absolutely mainstream American ideas like federalism as "exteremists". Still not quite to 100 days, and already the 0bama administration has reached unprecedented lows. I guess Fred Thompson is an extremist now, along with millions of other Americans.
Time to party tomorrow! I'll be taping continuously.
GOP 2010!
Do you have a Bible in your house?
You might be a Right Wing Extremist!
This is true, but to be 100% accurate, it doesn’t say this in the report. All of the other items are in the report.
This is not much different than Clinton using the IRS to go after his political enemies.
Leftist thugs always use the power of government to silence their political enemies to instill fear.
The Obamoron needs to know that freedom-loving and free Americans won’t be bullied by “jack-booted” government thugs on a fool’s errand.
Again, the question must be asked: when is enough too much??
The Department of Homeland Security has recently issued a report titled:
“Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment”
To find a link to the report online Google: Rightwing Extremism Report
Or go to: http://oldgloryradio.com/wordpress/?p=318
Nearly everyone who is attending a Tea Party today is viewed by Obama’s DHS as a potential Right Wing Extremist according to the report.
You Might be a RIGHTWING EXTREMIST….
Do you disagree with Obama’s policies?
Page 3: “Many rightwing extremists are antagonistic toward the new presidential administration and its perceived stance on a range of issues, including immigration and citizenship, the expansion of social programs to minorities, and restrictions on firearms ownership and use.”
Did you lose your home or job?
Page 3: “Rightwing extremist chatter on the Internet continues to focus on the economy, the perceived loss of U.S. jobs in the manufacturing and construction sectors, and home foreclosures.”
Page 4: “there appears to be a strong association between a parent’s unemployment status and the formation of rightwing extremist beliefs in their children”
Did you buy a gun or ammo recently?
Page 6: “ammunition shortages has likely spurred rightwing extremists-as well as law abiding Americans-to make bulk purchases of ammunition…further exasperating rightwing extremist paranoia”
Do you respect the 10th amendment to the Constitution*?
Page 2: “Rightwing extremism…(may include those) rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority…”
Amendment 10 - Powers of the States and People. Ratified 12/15/1791.
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people
Are you a veteran with combat skills?
Page 3: Returning veterans possess combat skills and experience that are attractive to right wing extremists.
Do you respect the 2nd amendment to the Constitution*?
Page 6: “legislation has been proposed this year requiring mandatory registration of all firearms in the United States…a correlation may exist between the potential passage of gun control legislation and increased hoarding of ammunition, weapons stockpiling…
Amendment 2 - Right to Bear Arms. Ratified 12/15/1791.
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Are you against illegal immigration?
Page 5: “frustration over a perceived lack of government action on illegal immigration has the potential to incite individuals or small groups to violence.”
Are you opposed to abortion?
Page 2: Rightwing extremism…may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration. I would be happy to email the word doc. version to anyone who needs it.
How does the Washington Times grab you for confirmation?
Or maybe Fox News?
The Fox story has links to both the "Right Wing Extremist" and a "Left Wing Extremest" document. Apparently in the eyes of DHS, the Left Wingers are nonviolent and only interested in cyber disruption. {eye roll}
Chilling.
We can use this to turn the tide against their desired outcome......I propose that all Tea Partygoers march to the local police station and turn themselves in as guilty of subversion. If everyone asks to be arrested for the crime of patriotism, the system will go on overload and this sham will be exposed for what it truly is.
People are fed up - it isn't going to work this time.
It would literally be like a ship flying the flag of a nation other than it's own, then attacking a third nation's ships, in order to incite a war between nations two and three. An even more common variant would be for nation A to fly the flag of nation B on a ship used to attack one of it's own ships, so as to provide a cause for war against nation B, without looking like a naked aggressor.
Pirates also often flew a false flag, but generally ran up the Jolly Rodger, or whatever flag they fancied to ID themselves, once they had closed to "point blank" range, or even boarding distance.
1. Increase breach time ... killer bee hives at a false front entry way
I’m pretty sure if there was a complete breakdown of the financial system it would not just stop with the financial system. I think the repurcusions would go way beyond that, probably where most of us would rather not go. If that could be avoided then I’m all for it, I’d rather keep the banks going and clean out the system by voting out scum like Barney Frank, Dodd, 0, Acorn, and the rest of the parasites that poisoned lending practices. Alot of people think banks are just in the business of mortgages, there are all kinds of businesses banks are involved in that are very profitable and still profitable, subprime was the toxic time bomb that has destroyed bank earnings along with mark to market accounting. To just blame banks is an incredibly myopic view as there are a multitude of guilty parties, besides the political whores I just mentioned there were the rating agencies, appraisors, and in the end the consumer.
Then who are the 7 MILLION people who have bought guns just since last November. And not all who bought guns show up in that list. Some bought a used gun, some bought a new gun, from a legitimate dealer, without having to undergo the background check, by virtue of having a CHL/CCP. (Not all states' license procedures allow for that).
From AmmoLand.com:
Data from the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) show background checks on the sale of firearms jumped 29.2 percent in March when compared to March 2008 and were up 27.1 percent for the first quarter of 2009 over the same quarter last year.
NICS Background Checks 2009
The increase follows a 23 percent rise in February, a 28 percent rise in January, a 24 percent rise in December and a 42 percent jump in November, when a record 1,529,635 background checks were performed.
Even October 08 sales were up over the previous year, but just not as much as the months following the election.
That may well be. But this time, their oppostion is much better armed than they are. Not as organized, but that could change, and quickly.
