WASHINGTON -- The Federal Bureau of Investigation earlier this year launched a nationwide operation targeting white supremacists and "militia/sovereign-citizen extremist groups," including a focus on veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan, according to memos sent from bureau headquarters to field offices.
The initiative, dubbed Operation Vigilant Eagle, was outlined in February, two months before a memo giving a similar warning was issued on April 7 by the Department of Homeland Security.

A Feb. 23 draft memo from FBI domestic counterterrorism leaders, obtained by The Wall Street Journal, cited an "increase in recruitment, threatening communications and weapons procurement by white supremacy extremist and militia/sovereign-citizen extremist groups."
The FBI said in the memo that its conclusion about a surge in such activities was based on confidential sources, undercover operations, reporting from other law-enforcement agencies and publicly available information. The memo said the main goal of the multipronged operation was to get a better handle on "the scope of this emerging threat." The operation also seeks to identify gaps in intelligence efforts surrounding these groups and their leaders.

Hussein of Iraq used many of the same tactics to intimidate the opposition. Obama and his gang of crooks best not push too far. History suggests that corrupt leaders can only push the military to the edge, but not past it. Nice picture of the clipped-haired hag.
Where is the REAL danger to Americans, any why is DHS going after political opponents, rather than people who ARE hurting and killing Americans?
What this does show is how out of sync these gov types are.Instead of the borders and islamic profiling they chose us, the Vets, christians, pro lifers, etc.
They really don’t have a clue.
It’s time to reset the constitution.

Because those currently in office, and those wishing to destroy America are on the same team?
Is she a closet diesel or is it well known?
George Washington was a disgruntled veteran.
It is looking like a well-orchestred WH attack on any potential critics of the President’s policies.
It makes Nixon’s ememies list look like a hobby activity and even the Clintonesta’s constant and nasty N & S attacks seem like the minor leagues.
