Since its inception, the Obama administration, the same administration unable to say the phrase, “Islamic Terrorism”, has desperately wanted to turn the focus onto domestic “right-wing” terrorism. The problem of course is that as organized groups such terrorism is about as rare as unicorn sightings in this country. Not a problem. In a just released report, the Department of Homeland Security, and what a truly Orwellian waste of money that huge bureaucracy has become, raises the bogey-man sovereign citizen movement which basically consists of cranks on the internet who appeal to other cranks and losers off the internet, into an alleged country spanning terrorist organization:
Washington (CNN)They’re carrying out sporadic terror attacks on police, have threatened attacks on government buildings and reject government authority.
Some federal and local law enforcement groups view the domestic terror threat from sovereign citizen groups as equal to — and in some cases greater than — the threat from foreign Islamic terror groups, such as ISIS, that garner more public attention.
The Homeland Security report, produced in coordination with the FBI, counts 24 violent sovereign citizen-related attacks across the U.S. since 2010.
Go here to read the rest at CNN. JihadWatch gives this bilge the response it deserves:
In the middle of this story on the CNN page was a link to another CNN story that shows just how ridiculous this is: “ISIS burned up to 40 people alive in Iraq, official says.” Have “right-wing sovereign citizen extremists” burned anyone alive? Have these “right-wingers” kidnapped large numbers of left-wing women and pressed them into sex slavery? Boasted that they would conquer the United States and ultimately the world, and that they had sleeper cells in place in the U.K. ready to start killing? Have they actually killed anyone beyond the two officers mentioned in this report? Do “sovereign citizens” give children weapons training and severed heads to play with? Do they burn musical instruments, murder left-wingers for the sole crime of being left-wingers, crucify people as children watch, chop off women’s hands for using cell phones, and behead people for smoking cigarettes?
Go here to read the rest. None of this is surprising. This is the same Obama administration that referred to Major Hasan’s massacre of troops at Fort Hood as workplace violence. The people in this administration are fools, knaves and worse.
It is an honor to be called an “extreme right-winger”.
We have an empty suit empty head left wing &%$#@@ for a President who is surrounded with yes men and women and a co-conspiratorial media. Is anyone surprised?
Pathetic, at best. But likely, unimaginably, worse. So, Hitleresque methinks.
Demonize the human checks and balances, so you can have an excuse to “neutralize” imaginary eniemies and have a propaganda bonanza run by “sickophants” justifying it to ignorant(or likely worse) masses, upon which to base your support and actions. Mob action by proxy or social activism or are they interchangeable?
Very dangerous and calculatingly evil.
Knaves and worse, yes. Fools? No. After all, it takes a special kind of linguistic and statistical dexterity to keep all the incidences of one-off work place violence carried out by lone wolves who aren’t representative of their undeclared faith unrelated.
d Black,
Not really. Everybody to the left of John Huntsman is considered an extreme right-winger.

Again, the DHS is an assemblage of agencies already extant in 2001. Added was the TSA (whose functions are not new) and an intelligence clearinghouse. For whatever reason, Congress and the President assembled a mess of investigatory agencies in one place while leaving a mass of others in the Justice Department, leaving the military with their MPs and investigatory services, leaving various and sundry with inhouse security services, and leaving a scatter of police services hither thither and yon. At the same time, they stuffed civil defense and intelligence into the mix (while leaving intelligence scattered over 16 agencies lodged in six different departments, not to mention the CIA). The whole business seemed the work of turf-obsessed congressional committee chairmen.
The Department of Homeland Security has the potential to become an instrument of tyranny.
Everyone not to the left of John Huntsman. That’s what I get for not wanting to use right twice in the same sentence.
.
The DHS was created in order to protect phony baloney jobs by taking action immediately, immediately, immediately.
And the sad thing is, the country harrumphed.
Uh. What is a right-wing sovereign citizen terrorist? Does anyone really know?
Barbara Gordon: “Uh. What is a right-wing sovereign citizen terrorist? Does anyone really know?”

The evildoers co-opt any word that threatens to inform the people. “Sovereign” is one of those words that calls to mind the “sovereign personhood” of the immortal human soul from the first moment of conception. Jesus Christ is Sovereign King, the Sovereign Person of God Who has been banned from the public and the public square.
.
To me, “sovereignty” is discipline and spiritual maturity, freedom from all deviation from the TRUTH, from addiction, freedom from influence by evildoers and the devil. The “pursuit of Happiness” in the Declaration of Independence is the human being accomplishing himself in sovereign personhood to achieve his destiny.
.
Obama wills not mature citizens, but people who he can manipulate and drive for his own agenda. That his agenda does not coincide with the human rights of his constituents is an impeachable offense. Obama has much to worry over citizens of sovereignty who constitute our nation.
Mayor Giuliani is only half right. He understates Obama’s (and his gangster regime’s) hatred of truth, justice and the American way of life.

Of course, those people are students of Alinsky and Stalin. When anyone says or writes something critical they want to lock you away as a lunatic, or shoot you as a traitor.

Again, the agencies within DHS already existed before the department was incorporated. Which ‘phony baloney’ jobs needed ‘protection’? The Coast Guard, FEMA, the Secret Service? Which?
The DHS….aka The Department of Redundancy Department. 🙂
Domestic terrorists that Osama didn’t reference: Animal rights extremists. Please see the Federal Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act.

Please note re: the link below: It is a miracle that 14 truck drivers were not burned alive in those sleeper cab trucks–under normal circumstances they would have been asleep in the trucks.

HSUS (a national animal rights extremist organization) worked for years at the federal level suing and paying off politicians to shut down and keep shut down horse meat processing facilities. When finally they were defeated and a plant was about to open, they burned the plant.
http://www.horsegroomingsupplies.com/horse-forums/new-mexico-processing-plant-fire-probed-516181.html
Now these nuts have decided that horses pulling things is animal abuse. Hence the most recent arson of which I am aware.

The last I knew the one of these nuts was on the top 10 FBI most wanted list.
If you are interested, look up the terrorist acts agains scientist and medical research centers.
One of the more radical groups is the Animal Lliberation Front who are thrilled when violence takes place against their supposed “enemies.”
We had first hand experience here in my state in 2013 when we were passing legislation limiting their activities. There were in person threats, electronic threats, stalking, tresspassing, property damage, attempted theft, and multiple false reports to law enforcement against us. Including interstate threats against a sitting state senator.
“Again, the agencies within DHS already existed before the department was incorporated. Which ‘phony baloney’ jobs needed ‘protection’? The Coast Guard, FEMA, the Secret Service? Which?”
The TSA and their viper squads along with their tens of thousands of now unionized federal troops at your friendly genital groping facility in our nation’s air ports didn’t exist.
PS. The reason you didn’t hear about the animal rights extremists s.a. HSUS is because these organizations are multi-million dollar lobbying organizations that line politicians’ pockets. And the Democrats particularly, are funded by these such groups.
The TSA and their viper squads

Baggage screening and metal detectors have been a feature of air travel since 1973. What changed was that the whole operation was placed under a federal directorate and the screeners were made unionized federal employees (at the insistence of the Democratic congressional caucus, natch). That’s arguably not an optimal way to perform this function (and it’s not done that way in Israel, for example). There’s no need to toss insults and ordinary wage-earners just doing their jobs (and in my limited experience, TSA employees are a professional as any other service employee you encounter).
—
Again, you want to abolish the department, you are going to have to put the constituent agencies in some other department. Where do you want to put them?
DHS was supposed to reduce redundancy and streamline communication, intelligently. It had a good start– you put the replacement into motion before removing the stuff you’re replacing. Having been through enough situations in the Navy where they instead did the “well, remove it and then build a replacement…oh, and better make sure the operation required function isn’t hurt” option, that isn’t bad.
Problem is, the “removing the stuff you’re replacing” didn’t happen. So instead we have all the departments who were there before, and the DHS.
***********
They say they have 24 incidents since 2010….or five a year. They include the husband/wife group where were just crazy and trouble, who got kicked out of every group they tried to join BECAUSE they were trouble. (The week before they shot up the Walmart and murdered the concealed carry guy who fought back, they tried to join that rancher group that’s got a dispute with the feds. And were kicked out so solidly that even the news couldn’t pin it on the ranchers.)
Contrast with honor killings, which don’t generally hit the news because it’s “just” domestic violence, or a girl killed by her brothers, or kidnapping and torture for refusing to do what they went.
You might get a flash if the mother is known to have helped torture her, or the kid gets lucky and gets to the media– or cases like Shaima Alawadi, where the murder tries to cover it up as a hate crime.
“Baggage screening and metal detectors have been a feature of air travel since 1973.”
The TSA started X-raying people & groping their genitals in airports in the Obama admin if I recall correctly.
“There’s no need to toss insults and ordinary wage-earners just doing their jobs (and in my limited experience, TSA employees are a professional as any other service employee you encounter)”
Please name one other “service employee” who can make you pull your clothes off, take x-ray pics of your body, run their hands over your breasts & crotch, etc.
I have up close and personal experience with the TSA and their viper squads. Now, I have never been groped or made to pull off clothes because I have chosen not to fly, but drive, take a bus, or ride a train instead. Shortly after my online protestations about the new 4th Amendment violations by the TSA in our nation’s airports and my online debate with a specific Little Rock, AR TSA agentwhom I mocked to scorn because he tried to tell me he was keeping me safe (if the fed govt cared about our safety they would seal our borders)–TSA agents followed me around the country for close to 2 years trying to provoke an incident. An agent was placed on my bus from Little Rock, AR to Birmingham, AL and back again–several times. An agent with a German sheperd met me at a Amtrak resting site at a layover in a New England state, a viper squad hit a Greyhound bus depot in Memphis, TN that I traveled through, and a multi-agent viper squad met me at an Amtrak station in Birmingham, AL (several plain clothes agents with 45s strapped to their hips– 8 uniformed TSA agents with huge German shepherds and with stun guns, mace, service weapons, and the whole bit.) I was the only person exiting my car that a TSA agent walked up to and addressed directly as soon as I exited the train–and there were hundreds of people there. Most of the folks arriving with me on the train that day were African American. Those poor folks African Americans went beserk when they saw those guns, uniforms, & dogs on the Amtrak platform waiting for us —-thinking they were fixing to be attacked. Their fear was real and palpable. My co-riders yelled things that day about the rascist federal government that I had never heard before. This was all because I made it plain in a public forum that a TSA agent would not be groping me in an airport–period. There are all kinds of videos/links related to the abuse these folks have dished out on the American public should you be interested. When you are a bad ass and stand up publicly for your civil rights, there will be times when you get to see very interesting sides of your government. Let me encourage you to try it some time. It was my understanding that one of the weekends a viper squad hit the bus depot in Memphis, TN that they did haul several folks out of the depot in handcuffs who had outstanding warrants for their arrest.
However–no terrorists. Lol

Foxfire: who are this couple. Can u give us a link? I don’t know anything about them.
“Again, you want to abolish the department, you are going to have to put the constituent agencies in some other department. Where do you want to put them?”
I would get rid of huge percentages of them by simply ending their jobs and or privatization-especially in our nation’s airports. I flew in this country for over 40 years of my life safely without these folks. I am not convinced those low paid TSA employees are making us safer.
“Problem is, the ‘removing the stuff you’re replacing’ didn’t happen. So instead we have all the departments who were there before, and the DHS.”
Fantastic way of stating the reason why there is nothing in this world eternal except a government program.

Dressed as the Joker, hate cops, consider authority to be the enemy, and fond of the swastika– sounds more like the crazy left than the right, to me. Of the “I like to watch the world burn” sort.
Joseph Wilcox– the guy who fought back– deserves to be remembered by name; they should be thought of as deadly losers, other than perhaps praying they were somehow not morally responsible for their actions.
The 537 jobs most in need of protecting are still to be found at opposite ends of Pennsylvania Avenue.
Just happen to run across this.
