WASHINGTON – The FBI is warning police across the country that an anti-government group's call to remove governors from office could provoke violence.
 
The group called the Guardians of the free Republics wants to "restore America" by peacefully dismantling parts of the government, according to its Web site. It sent letters to governors demanding they leave office or be removed.
 
Investigators do not see threats of violence in the group's message, but fear the broad call for removal of top state officials could lead others to act out violently. At least two states beefed up security in response...

What do you want to bet that this group gets blamed on us?

"WASHINGTON – The FBI is warning police across the country that an anti-government group's call to remove governors from office could provoke violence."

Words have precise meanings. The socialist policies in DC may provoke violence. The concern here is that this group's letters could trigger the violence provoked by politicians who ignore the Constitution.

Of COURSE that's where it's heading.

It is as clear as the greying hair on the top of ol' Obongo's noggin.

So mere words, calling for peaceful overthrow, constitutes violent threats now??!?! We are being setup, folks.

Too bad. I hope they remember when it comes time for peaceful transition of government that they take their oath to the Constitution and not any one man.

I saw this this morning and the words “free republics” and said, Oh! Oh! I was wondering whether the FBI was trying to paint us as ‘the’ group?

I wonder if that group of Paid Posters hired by the Erik Holder Justice Department is behind this?

Seriously, doesn't this sound like something that "They" would dream up???

Thanks for the link.

Has anyone yet figured out the name of the owner of the website?

Anyone who swore an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies is a guardian of the Republic. So if this be treason, then make the most of it.

A couple months ago, justpiper noticed that in one photograph of the current prez with his SS detail — that all of the SS in the pic were black. I think it was in some messagethread about Malcolm X, maybe....

Yes, I'd call it a false flag ops most likely, or scapegoat shopping.

They are working overtime to shut down legitmate Patriot Dissent, and they will necessarily first target the "fringe" (which may or may not even bear any resemblance to where you and I are coming from), dispense with them, and then gradually move into the center wherein and whereby you and yours and I may well be detained or hauled off to Sensitivity Camps. I am sure it is in an Obama Administration strategy paper somewhere, composed by his domestic policy advisors in the WH and chopped off (approved) by other major government units, such as FBI, DHS, FCC, etc. etc.

This Tea Party business of 2009 has shocked the hell out of them, and they are not taking it lying down, for they fear their whole house of cards coming down throughout this year. Such is the nature of tyranny. Such is the nature of Marxist-Leninists, which they are. Ask any Soviet defector now in the West who was in intelligence, they would tell you to a man or a woman what and whom Obama and his inner circle and lower apparatchiks are. Little wonder they have sarcastically nicknamed him "Patrice Lumumba Salvador Allende Maurice Bishop Obongo".

The FBI, DHS, DPS, etc guys need to get to AA real quick and get a sponsor.

They are drunk all the time on something and are in terrible need of help.

And I expect we’ll start hearing from Jim Thompson soon. Poor guy’s been nothing but a trouble maker since losing his job at the Post Office. Newman!

The hourly news on the radio last hour said that Governor Perry got one of these letters.

The first sentence on their website reads: "a bold achievable strategy for behind-the-scenes peaceful reconstruction of the de jure institutions of government without controversy, violence or civil war"

Sounds extemely violent. </sarcasm>

Interesting. Do they wear bow ties too? (Nation of Islam style). Maybe they have all Black SS details so they can say whatever they want without fear it will show up in the news. I remember reading early on about a SS agent who complained that Michelle and the girls were making racist comments about whites. That story died very quickly, I didn’t read anything else about the complaint, it just disappeared.
