White House Launches 'Task Force' To Combat 'Violent Extremism' [Aborting the 1st Amendment]
Washington Free Beacon ^ | 01/08/2016 | Adam Kredo

The White House announced Friday afternoon that it is launching an inter-agency task force to counter the sharp growth in violent extremism in America, according to an announcement. As senior members of the Obama administration's national security team meet with technology leaders in Silicon Valley, the White House’s National Security Council announced that the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security would team up to launch a Countering Violent Extremism Task Force, according to the announcement. The White House background document accompanying the announcement does contain any specific reference to the types of "violent extremism" the administration seeks to counter.

The State Department additionally is set to launch a Global Engagement center that will "to place an intensified focus on empowering and enabling the voices of international partners, governmental and non-governmental, and shift away from direct messaging," according to the White House. Without mentioning Muslim terrorism by name, the White House said that these efforts are being taken in the wake of terrorist attacks in France and San Bernardino California. The meetings with technology leaders in Silicon Valley are aimed at supplementing this effort, according to the White House. The government and private sector partnership "will allow us to place an intensified focus on empowering and enabling the voices of international partners, governmental and non-governmental, and shift away from direct messaging," the White House said.

"Today's developments reflect President Obama's commitment to take every possible action to confront and interdict terrorist activities wherever they occur, including online," it added. The announcement comes just a day after the Justice Department announced that it had busted a terror cell in the U.S. that was being operated by foreign refugees who had entered the U.S. legally...

If 7 years of consistent Islamic Terror in the U.S. and around the world has taught us anything, it is that the White House views American Conservative Gun Owners as a greater threat to the world than Islam. Obama's latest gun control measures do nothing to keep guns out of the hands of outlaws, but does set a precedent to outlaw guns from the hands of the law abiding. But why do we need guns? Shouldn't a peaceful people be able to find other ways to defend their homes and children? We need guns to protect our 1st Amendment rights. The right to speak our mind and to disagree.

The fact that the new task force document accompanying Obama's announcement does not contain any specific reference to the types of "violent extremism" the administration seeks to counter, is a sure sign that American Conservative Gun Owners are what this task force is focusing on.

The various new departments of the Federal Government that have been created in recent years to combat "terrorism" are going to be turned against us.

“extremist” is the buzz word for libs the last couple of years.

“Extremist” = middle American moderate views we are now redefining as far right positions. Move the window of acceptable political and social viewpoints to the left.

Examples: Being for man/woman marriage = extremist.

Hillary Clinton, btw, according to the Dem Underground lefties is a corporate sell out because Wall Street backs her.

“Extremist” is another word that’s lost its meaning... like racist, Nazi, etc.

You are right. Use it while we have it!

Exactly...just ask the Mayors of Cologne and Philadelphia, the German Ministers, Obama, and Frau Merkel.

Not enough.

Impeach. Then REMOVE.

Repeat as needed. At least about 20 times.
