Who will fight Holder? via U.S. reconstitutes group to fight homegrown extremists – Yahoo News.
(Reuters) – The United States is reviving a
law enforcement group to investigate those it designates as domestic
terrorists, the Department of Justice announced Tuesday.
Following hate-motivated shootings such as
the one at a Jewish Community Center in Kansas City, Missouri in April,
federal prosecutors have pressed the need to coordinate intelligence
about such criminals on a national level, Justice Department officials
said.
The Department of Justice will
reconstitute a task force that was originally formed after the 1995
Oklahoma City bombing but dissolved after the Sept. 11, 2001 hijacked
plane attacks as law enforcement agencies focused on threats from
militants abroad.
On Tuesday, Attorney General Eric Holder
said in a statement that the United States remains concerned about
threats from Islamic extremists, but the group will focus on other motives for attacks within U.S. borders.
Events like the April 2013 bombing of the
Boston Marathon, in which the attackers appeared to be influenced by
extremists abroad, would not fall under the jurisdiction of the group,
named the Domestic Terrorism Executive Committee.
“We
must also concern ourselves with the continued danger we face from
individuals within our own borders who may be motivated by a variety of
other causes from anti-government animus to racial prejudice,” Holder said.
Never mind the 100+ Muslims who have gone to wage jihad with jihadist groups in Syria and elsewhere.
The American Civil Liberties Union said it
plans to engage with the Justice Department to ensure the effort does
not lead to racial profiling or other bias targeting of individuals who
may be wrongfully suspected of having violent intentions, said Naureen
Shah, legislative counsel for the ACLU.
“Attorney General Holder’s announcement that the new task force will focus on evidence of anti-government animus and racial intolerance
raises concerns that it could be a sweeping mandate to monitor and
collect controversial speech,” said Lee Rowland, a staff attorney at the
ACLU.
The committee’s members will come from the
FBI, the National Security Division of the Justice Department and the
Attorney General’s Advisory Committee, which includes representatives of
federal prosecutors.
If you were born in America, particularly if you are white and
not a liberal, you are considered a domestic extremist by the Obama
regime.- Oppose taxes, cherish individual liberty? DHS & FBI say you’re a terrorist threat
- More white American terrorists in DHS ads (videos)
- Another DHS video portrays white Americans as most likely terrorists (video)
- DHS portrays white Americans as terrorists, again (video)
- DHS trains for “Free America Citizens” militia with ‘Uncle Sam’ hats
In reality, Holder’s task force will
undoubtedly focus on the Obama administration’s political enemies,
mainly returning military veterans, conservatives and those who identify
with the Tea Party. Such groups have been increasingly linked to
terrorism by multiple federal agencies.
Just last month, a military whistleblower revealed documents
to Infowars that showed how a military training center in North
Carolina, also used to train police and the DHS, was updated to include a
Baptist church and farmhouses. Once modeled after foreign cities,
training centers, such as the U.S. Army’s new 300-acre “fake city” in
Virginia, are now being modeled after U.S. towns and cities instead.
Last October, Army troops at Mississippi’s
Camp Shelby alerted media after a new training course labeled the
American Family Association, a mainstream Christian ministry, as a domestic hate group
similar to the Ku Klux Klan. A seperate briefing told officers to keep
an eye on troops who supported such groups, insinuating that they were a
domestic terror threat.
That same month, soldiers at Fort Hood were told that Christians, Tea Party supporters and anti-abortion activists were a major terror threat
as well. Soldiers were told that support for such groups could result
in disciplinary action under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
A Department of Defense training manual
obtained by conservative watchdog Judicial Watch in August 2013 listed
supporters of “individual liberties” as likely “extremists.” The manual
also warned military personnel to avoid “active participation” in such
groups, even banning them from “publicly demonstrating,” “rallying” and
“fundraising.”
A 2012 report from the Small Wars Journal featured in Forbes even went as far as explaining “how the U.S. Military would crush a Tea Party rebellion.”
A Department of Homeland Security funded study uncovered in 2012 characterized Americans “suspicious of centralized federal authority” and “reverent of individual liberty” as “extreme right-wing” terrorists. The study also links Americans who believe their “way of life” is under attack to terrorism as well.
In line with President Obama’s DoD directive, a leaked US Army Military Police training manual
from 2012 also outlined how the military would be used against U.S.
citizens during civil unrest. The manual even detailed how Americans
would be “re-educated” under U.S. Army FM 3-19.40 Internment/Resettlement Operations to support all U.S. policies.
