The White House announced a strategy to help police, schools and other local organizations counter the threat of domestic radicalism, a broad plan involving federal departments not usually associated with national security.
The effort is modeled on anti-gang initiatives developed in the 1990s and programs intended to prevent school shootings like the tragedy at Columbine High School in Colorado in 1999.
Although short on details, the eight-page outline for the first time called on all parts of the U.S. government, including the departments of Education and Health and Human Services, to devise ways to help communities identify extremist agendas that could lead to violence.
Wednesday's announcement came a week after the arrest of U.S. soldier Naser Jason Abdo in Killeen, Texas. Abdo was charged with possessing an unregistered destructive device after a gun store clerk tipped police that he had behaved oddly while buying gunpowder. Abdo planned to blow up a restaurant frequented by soldiers stationed at nearby Ft. Hood, authorities said.
At his arraignment, Abdo yelled out the name of Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the Army psychiatrist who is accused of killing 13 people and wounding 32 during a 2009 shooting rampage at Ft. Hood.
Congressional investigations into the Ft. Hood shootings revealed warning signs that could have tipped off authorities.
Intelligence reports indicate that Al Qaeda has tried to recruit Americans to launch attacks on U.S. soil.
Thirty-one American citizens or permanent residents were arrested between May 2009 and July 2011 in connection with homegrown terrorism plots, according to the Congressional Research Service. Those arrests within a two-year period contrast with 21 such arrests in the previous seven years.

LOL... Dang Travis, did you have to write an INSTRUCTION manual for them?
Let's write a happier ending than what they apparently have in store for us...
"We’re not like those Third World countries where soldiers there get kicks out of killing their own kind. The UN, no qualms, our guys is another matter."The famous/infamous Milgram experiment shows that approximately 2/3rds of the people will obey the authority in power, no matter what.
” I wonder if we will see a rise of the various state Militias who will have to set up on the state borders watching for Obama Brownshirts to come a marchin’ on their people...”
Twenty-six states already have state-supported and funded militias. And yes, the obuma thugs are being watched. Six of them have been arrested in South Carolina for thug behavior and are facing up to 20 years in prison. In addition, that state’s supreme court has expanded the castle doctrine to include shooting unarmed thugs.
In 2010, more than 700 patriots were elected to state legislatures. They are working hard to protect you from obuma goons by writing laws. Get involved and keep up-to-date on what your state is doing.
Not just the current occupants of the White House, but more importantly their puppet-masters on the other end of the Blackberry.
I had forgotten about Kent State. I stand corrected.
“...Would your children be telling them this...”
Politely, yes :^)
This all started for me back in the 90s when Pediatricians were tasked by the Klintoons admin to ask children, out of earshot of the parents of course, whether or not “Daddy had an GUNS in the house.” They were counting on the fact that kids have an innate sense of honesty and decency - at least until Adults mess up their minds - and would answer “yes” if they knew. This information was then, of course jotted down, and sent to the appropriate gov resources.
That’s how perverted and evil the lefties are - getting kids to “snitch” on their folks, innocently, unknowingly.
I told my kids (they were little tykes then) to lie, and say “No”. Imagine - having to teach your kids to lie, when most of your efforts at upbringing are towards teaching them to be decent human beings.
But to my mind, lying to the enemy is performing a public service so it was easy to reconcile it.
Now, they’re teens, and they’ve been properly educated, and can smell lefty/lib bullcrap a mile away - which makes no end of proud.
Should be “...which makes ME no end of proud.”
Sorry!!!!!!!!
