Feds: Anti-Government Groups a Bigger Threat Than ISIS
While Islamic State brags about sleeper cells within U.S., DHS frets about right-wingers

As President Barack Obama continues to receive criticism for his refusal to use the term “Islamic extremism,” some federal authorities and law enforcement groups in the United States assert that anti-government groups pose a bigger threat than ISIS.
The Department of Homeland Security circulated an intelligence assessment earlier this month which focuses on right-wing sovereign citizens and other domestic extremists.
“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,” reports CNN.
While hyping the threat posed by sovereign citizens, who have been involved in sporadic violent confrontations mainly targeting police officers over the last five years, the DHS has completely dismissed intelligence obtained by Judicial Watch that ISIS militants stationed in Juarez, Mexico could be planning attacks inside the United States.
ISIS militants are openly bragging about the fact that they have sleeper cells within the country waiting to conduct devastating attacks on U.S. soil as the Obama administration frets about not using the term “Islamic” while worrying about right-wingers committing traffic violations.
As we have exhaustively documented, the federal government has consistently downplayed the threat of Islamic terror in favor of pushing hysteria about right-wing extremism.
The FBI’s most recent national terror threat assessment list completely omits Islamic terrorists, instead focusing on sovereign citizens and the militia movement.
A 2012 University of Maryland study funded to the tune of $12 million dollars by the DHS characterized Americans who are “suspicious of centralized federal authority,” and “reverent of individual liberty” as “extreme right-wing” terrorists while glossing over the threat posed by Islamic extremism.
Last August, over a year after the Boston bombing, the Department of Homeland Security also listed sovereign citizens as a more deadly potential terror threat than Islamic extremists, placing sovereign citizens number one on the list.
PSA’s for the Department of Homeland Security’s See Something, Say Something program also failed to portray terrorists as Muslims on numerous occasions, preferring instead to depict the bad guys as white middle class Americans.
Returning veterans have also been characterized by the federal government as a bigger threat than Islamic extremism.
The Obama administration’s obsession with hyping the threat of domestic extremism seems clearly geared towards demonizing its ideological adversaries – libertarians and conservatives – while the true threat posed by the Islamic State, whose members have repeatedly threatened to attack the United States, continues to be sidelined.

Yes, WE ARE THE ENEMY.
Yes, the classic strategy of any totalitarian governance, is to employ a contrived (or sometimes real) threat, which is situated within and also overseas.....This leverage tool can then be used to remove ever more freedom and rights, from the people and all in the name of "national security."
That way the state can clamp down on their real perceived enemies, the PEOPLE and especially the common man and woman and just about anyone who dares to challenge the current banking and financial paradign, in this particular case...
Hitler did this after assuming power in 1933, through an election process.....He passed an "enabling law" giving the state "emergency powers" to tackle the contrived threat from the Communists, who purportedly set fire to the Reichstag......The Nazis used a Dutch half-wit as "red" patsie, much as the US have used a variety of similar types, to get the blame....The SA actually set the fire on Goring's orders...
Exactly!
Cesar said something similar, so we can "guess" where it comes from.....
Thanks Happy Person. And like Nazi Germany, the U.S. will also have detention centers for citizens who question their (s)elected leaders.
I honestly believe that will not happen, not in USA, nor anywhere else. We will defeat the bastards!
HAPPY PERSON: I think you are correct, but never underestimate what a group of mentally insane people are capable of.
Only if we let them Malcolm, only if we let them...
