Right wing extremist assessment document supposedly prepared by the State Protection Authority (er, I mean homeland security).

Singles out:
Disgruntled military veterans
Anti-illegal immigrant groups

Isn't this the same agency that calls acts of terrorism Man-Made Disasters?
That shows where these boob's heads are right now.


BTW. The Secret Service is tasked with protecting the President, not Homeland Security.

Seems to me that those two subgroups should be included in an assessment of right-wing terrorism. Also, it should include racist organizations.

What do you know - here's the first key finding:

Quote:
Threats from white supremacist and violent antigovernment groups during 2009 have been largely rhetorical and have not indicated plans to carry out violent acts. Nevertheless, the consequences of a prolonged economic downturn—including real estate foreclosures, unemployment, and an inability to obtain credit—could create a fertile recruiting environment for rightwing extremists and even result in confrontations between such groups and government authorities similar to those in the past.
So I don't know where the "singles out" language comes from. Seems that the report is more balanced than that.

Given that the right-wing is driving this week's "Tea Party" demonstrations - invoking the imagery of revolution - I think it's great that the government is taking the threat from the right seriously.

Every tea party I've been to inspires civil disobedience, something gun advocate and liberty lover Gandhi has always approved.

Can you provide any tea party footage involving revolution by physical means, or are you going by Statist blog content?

This country is turning into some kind of fascist state. I can't believe what I just read. This is a joke right?

That's just the unclassified stuff. I look forward to some of the classified stuff "finding its way" on CD or otherwise.
