Love The Constitution? Hate Government Regulations? New DHS “Lexicon” Brands You a “Militia Extremist”…

This is the same DHS that won’t say Islam is a factor in terrorism.

Via PJM’s Patrick Poole:

A recently published “lexicon” distributed to thousands of federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) targets citizens concerned about their Second Amendment rights and the steady encroachment of the federal government, categorizing such as “militia extremists.”

The “lexicon,” marked Unclassified/For Official Use Only (FOUO), is dated November 10, 2011, and was sent out by email to law enforcement and homeland security agencies on November 14 by LaJuan E. Washington of the DHS Office of Intelligence and Analysis.

We have exclusively posted the DHS “lexicon” here.

Its definition of “militia extremists” states:

(U//FOUO) Groups or individuals who facilitate or engage in acts of violence directed at federal, state, or local government officials or infrastructure in response to their belief that the government deliberately is stripping Americans of their freedoms and is attempting to establish a totalitarian regime. These individuals consequently oppose many federal and state authorities’ laws and regulations, (particularly those related to firearms ownership), and often belong to armed paramilitary groups. They often conduct paramilitary training designed to violently resist perceived government oppression or to violently overthrow the US Government. (Page 2 of 3, emphasis added)

So what drives militia extremism according to DHS now is “belief that the government deliberately is stripping Americans of their freedoms.” It is demonstrated by opposing “many federal and state authorities’ laws and regulations, (particularly those related to firearms ownership).” Would writing about those topics (as I am now) fall under “facilitation”? On its face, it’s hard to see how it could be excluded under DHS’s broad definition.

    It’s a hell of a thing when Patriots are labled as enimies of the state by their own government as the same government caters to any foreign son of a bitch that wants to destroy the country………..you would think they would want us on their side but any way of thinking other than their own is classified as a threat. Open borders, world peace……..that shit has been a dream of theirs for years………..ain’t happened yet and never will.

    Anyone who favors small government is considered a terrorist… just never never say islam is… TSA knows what a danger granny really is.

    Fellow weasels,

    Have any of you had trouble with being “locked out” of your email lately? I have one email account I only use for posting online, signing up for sites, etc. I don’t login to that email account very often, and when I recently tried to login, it said it was locked–possibly spam messages had been sent from the account. However, after several days when I finally got it back open, there was no evidence of any spam messages having been sent; and none of the people in my address book mentioned receiving spam. I’m not usually paranoid, but this is a little odd.

    “Groups or individuals who provide support to terrorism without knowing that their actions are contributing to terrorism. Such individuals may suspect that they are being used. Not all unwitting co-optees are engaging in criminal behavior.”

    They’re projecting their behavior onto others again. They used gun stores to smuggle assault weapons to drug cartels who have an alliance with Hezbollah. Everything they do, they project onto the American citizens. This ugly woman and her ilk need to be arrested for Fast and Furious, and the murder of the judge, and shooting of Gabrielle Giffords. It was all orchestrated by them.

  37. ThomNJ says:
    February 6, 2012 at 3:05 pm

    “…purging the use of “Islam,” “jihad,” and “Muslim” from any official discussion of terrorism. No one should be surprised that none of those terms can be found in the current DHS “lexicon,” despite the fact that even by the most generous estimates, more than 40 percent of domestic terrorism has come from within the Muslim community, which accounts for less than one percent of the population. ”

    The so-called right-wingers certainly are not the problem.

  38. ThomNJ says:
    February 6, 2012 at 3:16 pm

Hasn’t the USA been changed to make all citizens subject to out of control oppression from the left? hitler would be proud. he also wanted to be sure there was no way to oppose tyranny. i never thought i would live to see the end of the strongest FREE notion in world history but i think we are there now. zero gets another and it is all over. thank GOD i’m probably too stupid to be “re-educated”. guess i’m a goner, as are all freedom-loving Americans.

    Dear Janet the Second,

    I am declaring myself, a private citizen. I am declaring myself, a self-sovereign citizen. Next, I am replacing the word ‘citizen’, with the word ‘American’, because it was the word ‘citizen’, that became engrained to the revolutionaries in France, which is by no means, America. This boils down to: a private, self-sovereign American, whose elected representatives, by all the laws of the land, are answerable to ME, not the opposite.

    This administration has declared war upon ME, (and those that choose to define themselves in the same manner), by the following actions:

    1. Stating that -I- am a direct suspect of terrorism by default, through my previous military service to my country, in the defense of this land against Communism (“The State”).

    2. Stating that -I- am a direct suspect of terrorism by default, through my self-autonomous choice of religion, opposing it being “The State”, as President Caliphate Obama desires.

    3. Stating that -I- am a direct suspect of terrorism by default, by my self-autonomous decision and actions to prepare for future calamities, by storing more food and supplies, than the suggested 3-day list “approved” by FEMA (“The State”).

    4. Stating that -I- am a direct suspect of terrorism by default, by my self-autonomous decision to be able to provide for my own self-protection, opposite abiding on “The State” to protect me, (which the U.S. Supreme Court has already ruled as a fallacy).

    5. Stating that -I- am a direct suspect of terrorism by default, through my self-autonomous decision to look to the U.S. Constitution, as the source document, for the means of which, those whom -I- have chosen and elected to represent ME, in both houses of Congress, shall perform their elected functions, opposite “The State”, which would function as it ‘deems’ best, in its own interest, and its decided direction of implementing my existence, to its furtherance.

    6. Stating that -I- am a direct suspect of terrorism by default, through this last act of self-autonomous rule. That is the very act of standing up as a self-sovereign American, NOT answerable to “The State”, and in fact, stating the one word that totalitariains, authoritarians, and Statists fear: “NO!”

    Long Live The Republic! May the Gods Bless America!

    Signed,

    Born an American, not a Communist

  72. dahozho says:

    IMO, this is a genuine DHS document. It is very interesting that while ‘islam’ or ‘muslim’ does not appear, the committee *did* include ‘black supremists’ along with yes, various eco-terrorists and even, apparently, the IMF protesters.

    This is still an incredibly frightening document. They are going after people who oppose “government regulation”– so how much opposition do you think is the threshold? The Montana anti-tax guys? The AZ/UT mormon polygamists (but notice you don’t get the same sort of hysteria over muslim polygamany)? People who don’t think sugar is the new DDT? People who still *gasp* eat trans-fats occasionally?

    Not even the original Patriot Act was like this. Uncle Janet is busy expanding her agency’s scope to stay in business– just like all Federal agencies do to keep going. But this is aimed at eroding our guaranteed rights and liberties– including freedom of speech, assembly, and even thought.
