Feds Warn of Right-Wing Extremists

The agency warns that an extended economic downturn with real estate foreclosures, unemployment and an inability to obtain credit could foster an environment for extremists to recruit members who may not have been supportive of these causes in the past.
Homeland Security spokesman Sean Smith said the report is one in a series of assessments issued by the agency's intelligence and analysis unit. The agency describes these assessments as part of a series published "to facilitate a greater understanding of the phenomenon of violent radicalization in the United States."
In February, the department issued a report to law enforcement that said left-wing extremist groups were likely to use cyber attacks more often in the next 10 years to further their cause. And in September, the agency issued a report that highlighted how right-wing extremists over the past five years have used the immigration debate as a recruiting tool.
The latest assessment started making its way into the mainstream press after conservative blogs got wind of the analysis. In this report, the agency warns that imposing new restrictions on firearms and returning military veterans who have difficulties assimilating back into their communities could lead to terror groups or individuals attempting to carry out attacks. The returning war veterans have skills and experience that are appealing to right-wing groups looking to carry out an attack, according to the report.
The agency cites the April 4 killings of three Pittsburgh police officers as an example of a the type of violence spurred by right-wing rhetoric.
"Despite similarities to the climate of the 1990s, the threat posed by lone wolves and small terrorist cells is more pronounced than in past years," the report said.
In the 1990s, the report said, a resurgence in right-wing extremism was brought on by the poor economy and the outsourcing of jobs, with extremist groups targeting government facilities, law enforcement officers and banks.
The growth was slowed after intense government scrutiny of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombings, according to the report, but the Internet now gives extremists more access to information about making bombs and weapons training. The new technologies also make it easier for extremists to communicate, the report said, and make it more difficult for law enforcement to detect or prevent an attack.
In November, after Barack Obama's election, law enforcement officials were seeing more threats and unusual interest against a president-elect than ever before.
One of the most popular white supremacist Web sites got more than 2,000 new members the day after the election, compared with 91 new members on Election Day, according to an Associated Press count. The site, stormfront.org, was temporarily off-line Nov. 5 because of the overwhelming amount of activity it received after Election Day.

Y'all finally got your wish. Smile at the photographers as you're teabagging each other. How's the idea of Bush's warrantless wiretapping program feel now that its under President Obama!!!

SIN EATERS--We take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us so that the rest of our case can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible and absolutely necessary.

Besides…are they for real doing a study on this? Don’t we have a case study or two for reference? Poverty and desperation are the causes of terrorism? Well I’ll be damned….I always thought it was jealousy, religious extremism, and a deep seeded hatred of freedom that caused it…just in every other country in the world, I guess :roll: oh wait...this is about violent radicalization, not terrorism.
However if you are an illegal alien you have never been so protected.
yeah. damn that obama for wiretapping our phones and eliminating habeus corpus...
http://www.reverbnation.com/brianzilm
What has been done by this administration to restore habeus corpus? And as for wiretapping, it's now illegal to sue the government for wiretapping that shouldn't take place.
We all know the Bush years gave us all of this bullshit, but what is being done to undo it? If anything, the wiretapping issues seems to be worse under Barry.
I thought the world...Turns out the world thought me
Shouldn't the Bush supporters be delighted with this revelation? I mean, shouldn't they be rejoicing that Change is NOT coming about...instead, we are getting more of the same?
What gives?
Hail, Hail!!!
good point.
what is it?
"change you can believe in"-which obviously the right is against....or "more of the same"-which should be fantastic for them.
doesn't seem to matter. "Their" party isn't in power, let the Teabaggin commence.
I mean, look at these militias... who are they primarily comprised of? Mostly former military people. The well organized ones have a command and control system in place and most of the leaders have military leadership skills. Timmy McVeigh was good soldier who became disillusioned with this nation. And the way we treat our military veterans is, admittedly, shameful. If it were up to me, I'd give them all a 1% mortgage rate and even lend them the money for the down payment. I would also give them and their families lifelong healthcare. Repay them the way 'A Grateful Nation' should... with our tax dollars.
The individual militias spread out across the country is one thing defending their small corner of their homeland... but, they would be a formidable army if they all coordinated as one unit... under one command and control.
Hail, Hail!!!
However it turns out, if there is armed resistance in the US it'll be a bloody shithole. the only chance the resistance has is if the enlisted soldiers refuse to kill americans, or switch sides. which leaves blackwater vs marines. and fuck all that.
blackwater doesn't give a shit. true capitalists. those dirtbags would kill their own mother for a dime. fuck them. worthless pigfuckers.
