Homeland Security Warns Right Wing Extremists Are An Equal Or Greater Threat Than ISIS

[Panich52]

The Department of Homeland Security is warning that right-wing extremists are an equal or in some cases greater threat to America than ISIS.

CNN reported:

A new intelligence assessment, circulated by the Department of Homeland Security this month and reviewed by CNN, focuses on the domestic terror threat from right-wing sovereign citizen extremists and comes as the Obama administration holds a White House conference to focus efforts to fight violent extremism.

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.”

….
The government says these are extremists who believe that they can ignore laws and that their individual rights are under attack in routine daily instances such as a traffic stop or being required to obey a court order.

2. Yep, remember it well. Walked back on it because GOP complained.

3. Yup!!! Damn Government over reach.

See this crap on a daily basis,people got this attitude who me,it's them over there. All it takes is when one of the so called talking heads go over the edge. You can bank on some idiot to act out with in twenty four hours.

4. IS actually are right-wing extremists

fascist, nationalist, racist, xenophobic, authoritarian, reactionary, supporters of social caste systems--going as far as genocide.

The same reasons why they're threat are why other right-wing militias are a threat.

5. Have we ordered up 20,000 troops for this yet? n/t

[TheKentuckian]

6. and neither is a big a threat as Homeland Security

[freshwest]

7. Yes. That and 85% of DHS goes to FEMA, which they want eliminated.

They are also betting on a terrorist attack. Something that will convulse the country and let them have the coup they've been working on for so long.

We've seen their intent, both in words and deeds. They have not hidden anything. We are in denial, squabbling with each other, which is also part of the method being employed.

Time is not on our side in this. Game, Set and Match.

8. I'd say greater

After all, the right-wingers are already here. ISIS would have to cross an ocean.

9. Dog Damn It, the Right Wing crazies and ISIS are not our biggest worry.

They are distractions while the Oligarchs rob us blind. Remember the bank crash of 2008? The Oligarch Rulers walked off with trillions without having to even wear a mask. The question isn't will they do it again, but when will they do it again.

10. They don't just rob us, they support the rwnjs the extremists vote in. So it's all one big scheme.

[rhett o rick]

11. Yes it's obvious that they support the Right Wing nut jobs but, in a way

that is even a distraction. They also fund Third Way Democrats that serve them but without the appearance of the crazy clown-car Republicons.

Be wary of Conservative Democrats that support social issues but also allow Wall Street to take the wealth of the middle and lower classes.

It's time to draw the line and support progressives like our lives depend on it. Some do.

[Panich52]

12. That's one reason Hillary isn't a shoe-in. At least as long as progressive challenger shows up.

I've never belonged to a political party -- except in 2008, I was briefly a Dem. In PA, independents can't vote in primaries. I chose to sign up (canvasser convinced me) because I knew Obama didn't seem to have HC's WSt ties. (He also was more progressive)

13. I think HRC will struggle against Jeb because she doesn't offer a big enough difference

to make it worthwhile for some to vote.
