ORIGINAL: Fightdirecto Talk 2 Action Is the DHS Dropping the Ball on Tracking Rightwing Domestic Terrorists? quote:
Daryl Johnson, a former senior domestic terrorism analyst with the DHS, says that his `greatest fear is that domestic terrorists in this country will somehow become emboldened to the point of carrying out a mass-casualty attack, because they perceive that no one is being vigilant about the threat from within.' In the wake of 9/11, law enforcement officials ramped up their efforts to prevent domestic terrorism. During the past two years, while energy of the expanded Department of Homeland Security has been focused on Muslims - either American born or those coming from outside the country - according to a former DHS official, the DHS has basically put the kibosh on analyzing homegrown terrorist threats by white supremacists, militias, the patriot movement, and anti-abortion fanatics... The former senior DHS analyst is concerned with "the fact that our country is under attack from within, from our own radical citizenry. There have been a lot of small-scale attacks lately, whether it's three mail bombs sent to U.S. government facilities in Maryland and D.C., or a backpack bomb placed near a Martin Luther King Jr. Day parade in Spokane, Wash., or two police officers gunned down at a traffic stop in West Memphis, Ark., by antigovernment extremists in May 2010."... A 2010 DHS study concluded that a majority of the 86 major foiled and executed terrorist plots in the United States from 1999 to 2009 were unrelated to al-Qaeda and allied movements. Remember, according to the Right-Wing media cartel (i.e. Fox and talk radio), [1] the only people Americans have to fear are Muslims, leftists or liberals, [2] any terrorist plot (successful or unsuccessful) by anyone who is a Muslim (American or non-American) is just part of a vast conspiracy of ALL Muslims worldwide, and [3] any terrorist plot (successful or unsuccessful) by any American who isn't a Muslim or a leftist or a liberal is the work of a deranged individual or individuals with no connections to anyone else. Well...they do have a point. Liberals are a pretty severe threat to your liberty. Let's see...Islamo-fascists are allegedly responsible for bringing down Tower 1 and Tower2 and...oddly enough, Building 7. Ok...I see the problem with those guys. Timothy McVeigh was allegedly acting in retribution for what happened at Waco, which was a huge debacle but did not give him any justification for what he did and no American has done anything like that since. So I can't say that I fear terrorism from my typical fellow American...but, hey, you can't legislate away pathology and aberrant behavior. That brings us to liberals that want abortion until the age of 3, lolololol, and want to tax people to death to be indemnified from their own failure. Right? Sure. Sorry, fightdirecto, other than Islamic fanatics, I really don't fear any group as far as my safety is concerned. As far as my financial security, however, I fear and hate liberals and for good reason. HEY!! I guess that means I have my own hate group!!! Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
