DHS May Be Called to Explain “Rightwing Extremism” Report
Infowars
May 20, 2009
House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson has drawn up a resolution that would require DHS to explain to Congress why it created the warning about “right-wing” groups, reports Fox News. Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat, initially balked at a Republican request to probe the motives of DHS and said it was a “GOP stunt aimed at embarrassing the new administration,” an absurd accusation considering the fact the report was crafted during the Bush years and rehashed after Obama took office.

In the wake of the exposure of the DHS’ “Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment” another document surfaced on May 5. It is entitled the “Domestic Extremism Lexicon” and was issued by the Office of Intelligence and Analysis in late March. The lexicon lists definitions for key terms and phrases used by Homeland Security analysts “that addresses the nature and scope of the threat that domestic, non-Islamic extremism poses to the United States,” Audrey Hudson reported for the Washington Times on May 5.
Democrats sitting on the House Homeland Security Committee are determined to block — at least partially — any investigation of the document’s origins. Republicans want documents and source material that supposedly justified the threat assessment, while Democrats merely want DHS to explain to Congress why it designated Second Amendment advocates, pro-life activists, and veterans as threats to the country.
As with nearly everything in the district of criminals, the DHS report has turned into a partisan football to be used to score points and make the other side of the one party system look foolish. Republicans are not so much interested in getting to the bottom of the report as they are in using it to lambaste the Obama administration (while ignoring the fact the document was created during the Bush administration). Democrats want a perfunctory explanation from the DHS and then relegate the report off to the memory hole.
In fact, it does not take a crack researcher to figure out where the source material and inspiration for the report came from — the Anti-Defamation League.
On April 22, DHS Secretary Napolitano appeared before the Anti-Defamation League National Leadership Conference in Washington. In a speech, she said that “the ADL and DHS have had some good partnerships. In recent years, the Department has placed our employees in your advanced training school to educate us on the tactics used by extremists and terrorists.”
It was the same under Bush. “The Department of Homeland Security has contracted with the Anti-Defamation League to provide its specialized training and expertise on extremism, hate groups, domestic and international terrorism, and civil liberties to high-level agency personnel,” an ADL press release dated May 1, 2007, states. “In remarks to the ADL’s National Leadership Conference in Washington, D.C., Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said the briefings are one way his department, the government’s third largest, is partnering with ADL to address issues of immigration, civil liberties and extremism.”
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
“Our trainings are intensive and offer a range of detailed information about anti-government extremists, hate groups, extremism and terrorism on the Internet and hate groups,” said David C. Friedman, ADL Director of National Law Enforcement Initiatives.
According to the ADL press release, Homeland Security’s training included “a briefing from Brig. Gen. Nir Meri-Esh of the Israel Police, who shared his firsthand experiences and knowledge in preventing and responding to terrorist attacks.” It was not explained how Meri-Esh’s expertise relates to “anti-government extremists” in the United States.
Not only the DHS, but the FBI as well is indoctrinated by the ADL. An ADL press release dated November 3, 2005, includes remarks by Robert S. Mueller III, director of the FBI, who said the “Anti-Defamation League and the FBI share a strong bond of friendship.” The FBI, said Mueller, benefits “greatly from education and training programs” provided by the ADL.
“The real meaning of a partnership between the ADL and the FBI and of the FBI’s willingness to accept the ADL’s judgment on the ‘changing nature’ of terrorist threats is that the FBI will devote less of its resources to the investigation of actual criminal activity and more of its resources to helping the ADL counter the people the ADL considers ‘extremists’: which is to say, people who have views the ADL labels ‘extreme,’” writes Dr. William Pierce.
On April 6, 2009, in the wake of the Pittsburgh police shootings, the ADL labeled radio talk show host Alex Jones as an extremist of the sort of interest to the DHS and FBI. “According to ADL, [Richard Poplawski, the accused shooter] frequented ‘Infowars,’ the Web site of the right-wing conspiracy radio talk-show host Alex Jones, where he shared links to its stories with others and sometimes posted his own messages to the site,” an ADL press release declares. The ADL makes the insinuation that Jones and his radio show — along with the white supremacist website Stormfront — influenced the alleged cop killer Poplawski.
An earlier ADL press release characterized Joe Banister, Tommy Cryer, Pat Shannan, Dave Von Kleist, Jack McLamb, Greg Dixon, Ted Gunderson, and Michael Badnarik as dangerous extremists.
Finally, it should be noted that the ADL has used illegal methods to gather information on its political enemies. In 1993, an ADL contractor was arrested for illegally spying on numerous groups, including the NAACP, ACLU, Mother Jones magazine, Greenpeace, Jews for Jesus, the National Lawyers Guild, Democratic U.S. Representative Nancy Pelosi, and former Republican U.S. Representative Pete McCloskey. The San Francisco district attorney at the time accused the ADL of conducting a national “spy network.”
It is precisely this spy network — in existence since the 1930s — that the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI are interested in tapping into and resulted in the production of the now infamous and embarrassing (for the government) “Rightwing extremism” report.

We need to send a message to this idiots. Get as many people as you can to put Culpepper Flag “Don’t Tread on Me” stickers on their cars. They may harass the single odd car with one, I got a good looking on mine by a Georgia State Trooper at an I-95 rest stop, but I also have my Vietnam Vets sticker, plus I look mean so he didn’t mess with me.
But what will they do if they see hundreds of these stickers every day?
I will fly mine on Memorial Day in front of my house.

Embarrass the new administration? I think they are already doing a fine job of that already. The new American government motto should be ‘The truth is in GITMO and the truth stays in GITMO’. or fill in the blank with 9/11, Oklahoma, Waco, ect, ect.

What the common misconception going around here is that people seem to believe if the government undermines the constitution, the citizens must do so as well. This is not accurate. Regardless of what law they pass, if it goes against the constitution, we should just simply deny the new law’s existance. If everyone just upholds the constitution and simply ignore any unconstitutional law, then well, it might as well not exist and that will prove to the government that the constitution is law, not their word itself. This DHS doc of listed extremist is just proof the American people are responding and they are paranoid. We got ‘em scared, boys! Now lets run ‘em down till they bleed dry. *big grin*

The States must “Ratify” any new federal laws. So let there be no confusion. The local state Reps are directly to blame for these unconstitutional laws that are being passed. The best way to sink their ship is “RECALL” your state rep and hold a vote of “No Confidence” We can do this at any time!!! Then elect a person that they cannot corrupt, and yes there are some who can’t be, If 2/3rds of the states did this it would blow them out of the water. They then would be self destructive and implode as more of their crimes are brought forth. At that time, WE THE PEOPLE force the supreme court under their oath to indite them for high treason against the people of the United States of America. Then convict on the preponderance of the evidence. If they refuse to come before the people when commanded to do so. You send the U.S.Marshal’s office to apprehend them and then detain them, with out bond. If they refuse to testify, then you prosecute them as hostile. At that point nothing they can say or introduce as evidence that would exonerate them, as if there would be any, This is a “LEGAL” and uses their own gestapo system of tactics against them. None of them would like their own system of persecution used on themselves. No better fitting justice than to use the very document they FEAR to undo them at all levels.

It’s all easy enough to explain: the DHS is an organization of evilness created by the evilness that was the Bush administration.
Its nazi-like name already shows it to be what it really is.

Hmmm, sounds an awful lot like Saddam Hussein, first become paranoid about everyone around you, and then start taking them out. I agree with the comment a few inches up, we all know who the real extremists are.

I’m not sure what is meant by “U.S.” any more. The Constitution is no longer upheld; the rule of law is void. If a country knows no rule of law can it be said to be a sovereign entity or an anarchist territory dominated by the most brutal and well-armed?
May 21st, 2009 at 8:10 am
The constitution isn’t upheld anymore for a reason. To find out watch http://www.tpuc.org/node/558 and see the proof. We are all capable of being ruled under common law, constitutional law and all our god given rights are reserved to us. All we have to do is declare it to be so and it is. The gold fringed flag flying in our courtrooms shows it is an admiralty court and UCC (uniform contract code) law is being applied and since 1938 we switched over from constitutional law in our courts. The positive act of no longing volunteering to be a slave to the Banksters frees us from them-watch Robert Menard on you tube.

Oh and few know the truth that the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (all in caps signifying a corporation) is registered in pueto rico. You and every citizen of the above all in caps corp is a registered corporation traded on the stock exchange. When you get a ticket or summons your name is never on it. The corporate name all in capitals is on the notice. Thats not you its a “person”, a legall fiction, a corporation-look it up in Blacks law dictionary. The corporation that runs this country gave all their rights to the new rulers, the new corporation with the name of…….HOMELAND SECURITY. See Winston Shrouts you tube video.

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
And all the birds in the trees, well theyd be singing so happily,
Joyfully, playfully watching me.
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible,
Logical, responsible, practical.
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,
Clinical, intellectual, cynical.
There are times when all the worlds asleep,
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man.
Wont you please, please tell me what weve learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am.
Now watch what you say or theyll be calling you a radical,
Liberal, fanatical, criminal.
Wont you sign up your name, wed like to feel youre
Acceptable, respecable, presentable, a vegtable!
At night, when all the worlds asleep,
The questions run so deep
For such a simple man.
Wont you please, please tell me what weve learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am.
There is no political solution
To our troubled evolution
Have no faith in constitution
There is no bloody revolution
We are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Our so-called leaders speak
With words they try to jail you
The subjugate the meek
But its the rhetoric of failure
We are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Where does the answer lie?
Living from day to day
If its something we cant buy
There must be another way
We are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world

I think Homeland Security meant that and more for us “rightwing extremists.” It is the NWO jargin and they are setting us up as “dissenters” and legally finding ways how to shut our voices down. With all the approximately 3 million United Nation troops in the North American Continent, they are waiting for martial law to be called so the foreign troops will disarm our citizens and kill those of us who resist. Check out the FEMA international signage they are marking within our own cities so foreign troops who do not speak our language can navigate. There are secret codes on the back side of major signs. I found them in my city. Google FEMA signage for foreign troops, the same signage used in Iraq for UN forces. Obama will make sure our troops are overseas for they will not turn on their own people. These UN troops are in every state, stationed on our military bases and theirs within our country. I do not see that we have a chance with all the UN tanks, transportation and equipment.

those UN troops are only adept at rape and pillage. Ask any Ugandan or Rawandan. We can take their ugly asses if we must. It’ll be easier too.

DHS is the real face of this administration- as fascist as usual. They’re training BOY SCOUTS in San Diego as DHS agents now. That closet case Napolitano hates freedom, not to mention our troops who just went from being “heroes” to “terrorists” in one easy press conference. California is the Beta Test for the Obama-ites. They’re cutting SSI and Medi-Care coverage for all elderly and disabled. No more dental coverage for those over 25. Hitler started the same way, by making life nearly impossible for the “useless eaters”, the disabled and blind. Obama and Schwartzenegger are following in his footsteps. Obama is actually publicly commending Ah-nold in Washington for his handling of the budget “crisis”. Yeah, fire thousands of cops and firemen and teachers. Meanwhile schoolboard clerks pull down nsix figures all over the state. Arnie showers prison guards with all kinds of regular raises, and squanders millions jailing potheads and shoplifters. 3 strikes indeed. The rest of this lobotomized nation will surely soon follow suit. Nightly suicides and family massacres broadcast regularly will have no effect at all on the great manipulators who choreograph these disasters for the rest of us sheeple to endure.

This is a comment I posted in the “Topix” forum. It applies here as well.
This makes me angry. I have never been, nor will I ever be a terrorist. I have paid my taxes. I have voted. I have thanked God for our nation, and prayed for her leaders.
As for my household, I vow that we will remain free. We will not bow at the altar of false hope. We will not surrender rights granted to us by our creator. In life or in death, I will make a stand. I hope others will take a stand as well.
A stand for liberty.
A stand for American sovereignty.
A stand for our Constitution.
A stand for our Bill of Rights.
A stand for the lives of the helpless.
A stand against tyranny.
A stand against universalism
A stand against so-called political correctness.
A stand against the current piracy of taxation.
A stand against the Federal oppression of American citizens.
God bless the nation that our fathers, through untold sacrifice founded. God bless that nation, and return it to it’s foundation from which it has fallen.
May God destroy the immoral shell of pseudo-freedom and pseudo-democracy that we have allowed to exist and abound. May God remove the scepter from the hands of those who seek to destroy our nation, and infringe upon our freedoms.
