An official Department of Homeland Security "assessment" document has somehow made it into the public arena, and you may have already heard about it... In addition, some of the copies of it seemed to be suddenly (and conspicuously) unavailable... Of course, once in the public arena, it cannot be somehow deleted...
Here is the "scope" statement:
You really need to read all 10 pages of this document, but suffice it to say that this document seems to classify most Americans who believe in things like states rights, right to life, and capitalism as "rightwing extremists".This product is one of a series of intelligence assessments published by the Extremism and Radicalization Branch to facilitate a greater understanding of the phenomenon of violent radicalization in the United States. The information is provided to federal, state, local, and tribal counterterrorism and law enforcement officials so they may effectively deter, prevent, preempt, or respond to terrorist attacks against the United States. Federal efforts to influence domestic public opinion must be conducted in an overt and transparent manner, clearly identifying United States Government sponsorship.
Read that last sentence above carefully -- "Federal efforts to influence domestic public opinion must be conducted" -- in other words, the Federal government has a responsibility to influence your opinions! That sounds to me like they think they have to introduce propaganda to influence your thinking!!!
The problem here is that this sounds a lot to me like the sort of propaganda that Hitler put out there in pre-WWII Germany specifically about the Jews...
We are being labeled as rightwing extremists and assessed as a threat. Now, just one crackpot needs to do one stupid thing, and they'll say, "See, we warned about this."
Tomorrow is the Tax Day Tea Parties all around the country. Doubtless there will be some "event" that will be exaggerated by the left wing media, and the left wing will define the rest of us Conservatives by that one "event"... Even if there is no "event" for the left to coalesce around, I expect the radical left (like Acorn) to come out and taunt some lawful protester with a temper, and that will be the one event that will show up on the left wing evening news...
We may have to wait two years until the next election to see the balance of power shift... But, I think that is exactly why Obama and his "administration" (read cronies) are trying to get so much of their radical agenda pushed through so quickly with no debate whatsoever (they don't even have time to read what they're voting on most of the time)! They know they have to do this while they have the power. But, what they are miscalculating is that these extreme policies are waking a sleeping giant -- once called the moral majority. We have been silent too long! We have got to show up tomorrow, and we have got to show up at the polls in 2 years and again in 4 years!
