WASHINGTON – A newly unclassified Department of Homeland Security report warns against the possibility of violence by unnamed “right-wing extremists” concerned about illegal immigration, increasing federal power, restrictions on firearms, abortion and the loss of U.S. sovereignty and singles out returning war veterans as particular threats.
The report, titled “Right-wing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment,” dated April 7, states that “threats from white supremacist and violent anti-government groups during 2009 have been largely rhetorical and have not indicated plans to carry out violent acts.”
However, the report goes on to suggest worsening economic woes, potential new legislative restrictions on firearms and “the return of military veterans facing significant challenges reintegrating into their communities could lead to the potential emergence of terrorist groups or lone wolf extremists capable of carrying out violent attacks.”
The report from DHS’ Office of Intelligence and Analysis defines right-wing extremism in the U.S. as “divided into those groups, movements and adherents that are primarily hate-oriented (based on hatred of particular religious, racial or ethnic groups) and those that are mainly anti-government, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration.”
“[T]he consequences of a prolonged economic downturn – including real estate foreclosures, unemployment and an inability to obtain credit – could create a fertile recruiting environment for right-wing extremists and even result in confrontations between such groups and government authorities similar to those in the past,” the report says.
It adds that “growth in these groups subsided in reaction to increased government scrutiny as a result of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing and disrupted plots, improvements in the economy and the continued U.S. standing as the pre-eminent world power.”
“Proposed imposition of firearms restrictions and weapons bans likely would attract new members into the ranks of right-wing extremist groups as well as potentially spur some of them to begin planning and training for violence against the government,” the report continues. “The high volume of purchases and stockpiling of weapons and ammunition by right-wing extremists in anticipation of restrictions and bans in some parts of the country continue to be a primary concern to law enforcement.”
Most notable is the report’s focus on the impact of returning war veterans.
“Returning veterans possess combat skills and experience that are attractive to right-wing extremists,” it says. “DHS/I&A is concerned that right-wing extremists will attempt to recruit and radicalize veterans in order to boost their violent capacities.”
The report cites the April 4 shooting deaths of three police officers in Pittsburgh as an example of what may be coming, claiming the alleged gunman holds a racist ideology and believes in anti-government conspiracy theories about gun confiscations, citizen detention camps and “a Jewish-controlled ‘one-world government.’”
It also suggests the election of an African-American president and the prospect of his policy changes “are proving to be a driving force for right-wing extremist recruitment and radicalization.”
The report also mentions “‘end times’ prophecies could motivate extremist individuals and groups to stockpile food, ammunition and weapons. These teachings also have been linked with the radicalization of domestic extremist individuals and groups in the past, such as the violent Christian Identity organizations and extremist members of the militia movement.”
“DHS/I&A assesses that right-wing extremist groups’ frustration over a perceived lack of government action on illegal immigration has the potential to incite individuals or small groups toward violence,” the report continues.
The report states the DHS will be working with state and local partners over the next several months to determine the levels of right-wing extremist activity in the U.S.
Last month, the chief of the Missouri highway patrol blasted a report issued by the Missouri Information Analysis Center that linked conservative groups to domestic terrorism, assuring that such reports no longer will be issued. The report had been compiled with the assistance of DHS.
The report warned law enforcement agencies to watch for suspicious individuals who may have bumper stickers for third-party political candidates such as Ron Paul, Bob Barr and Chuck Baldwin.
It further warned law enforcement to watch out for individuals with “radical” ideologies based on Christian views, such as opposing illegal immigration, abortion and federal taxes.
Chief James Keathley of the Missouri State Patrol issued a statement that the release of the report, which outraged conservatives nationwide, prompted him to “take a hard look” at the procedures through which the report was released by the MIAC.
“My review of the procedures used by the MIAC in the three years since its inception indicates that the mechanism in place for oversight of reports needs improvement,” he wrote. “Until two weeks ago, the process for release of reports from the MIAC to law enforcement officers around the state required no review by leaders of the Missouri State Highway Patrol or the Department of Public Safety.”
“For that reason, I have ordered the MIAC to permanently cease distribution of the militia report,” he said. “Further, I am creating a new process for oversight of reports drafted by the MIAC that will require leaders of the Missouri State Highway Patrol and the Department of Public Safety to review the content of these reports before they are shared with law enforcement. My office will also undertake a review of the origin of the report by MIAC.”

This was a parody of that Missouri report, it's pretty damn funny, instead of targeting 'right-wing extremists' the report targets the Missouri Police force.
This report is what forced the MIAC to retract their report from circulation when it came out a couple months back.

Modern Missouri Police Movement:
The Missouri Police State Movement began in the early 1900's and has grown in size, power, and influence every year
since. The membership and power of the movement has been growing alarmingly in the last few years. Several social,
political, and economic factors have contributed to the recent explosion of police power. The primary motivator for the
movement was the idea that Freedom was dangerous and that government control was needed. Secondary motives for
the movement were to find a use for the millions of tazers and billy clubs produced each year, to find employment for
thousands of overgrown schoolyard bullies, and to meet the insatiable
demands of political egos' desire to control others. It was a natural fit.
Academics contend that the ability of the individual citizen to live his or her
own life, and make his or her own choices, caused a blow to the ego of
government bureaucrats' and busybodies' sense of power. This, combined
with a sense of defeat over the dramatic failure of most government programs
(including public education, the war on drugs, the war on poverty, FEMA, the
DMV, heath care, social security, and especially, government management of
the economy and banking practices), a growing freedom movement, and the
recent backlash against the Federal Reserve, spawned an urgent call for an
enhanced police state. The public has become more open to the idea of
dramatically increasing law enforcement privileges as a result of the
glorification of police in popular novels and movies such as Exit Wounds and
Narc that celebrate combat. The culture associated with these figures has
lauded police officers and treated them as morally upright heroes who are
mentally and physically tough.
It was during this time frame that many politicians, bureaucrats, and police officers began to concoct propaganda to
justify the rise of the police state. This propaganda varied, but almost always included a "threat of terrorism" that only
the police state could protect the citizens from. Freedom loving people were portrayed as evil, violent radicals, who
joined rogue militias and wanted to harm their fellow countrymen. The propagandists were bold enough as to falsely
label such persons anti‐Semitic, an easy and cheap way to discredit opposition groups in an era not so far removed from
the atrocities committed under Adolf Hitler. The Missouri Information Analysis Center became a leading institution in
pushing blatantly false police state rhetoric and instructing members of law enforcement about the most effective
strategies for removing liberties from the general populace.
While the recent surge's roots can be traced to Reagan and the failing War on Drugs, a series of incidents in the early
1990s caused a surge in Missouri police state participation. The 1994 $200 million expenditure by President Clinton
hiring 2,770 police officers became a spark for the movement. In 1995, Clinton announced a new $434 million federal
grant program, hiring 7,105 new cops. The following May, the Missouri legislature increased funding to provide 3500
additional prison beds within three years. After a 1990 Missouri Supreme Court ruling that the state constitution
requires all property seized by Missouri law enforcement agencies to go to public schools, police ignored the ruling and
continued the seizures; keeping over $32 million worth of property and additionally fueling the movement with their
ill‐gotten gains.
Noteworthy Missouri Police Activity from 19951999:
• 1995 at Six Flags St. Louis, Wendy Fevurly is pepper sprayed by police and given a broken nose. FBI investigates police brutality.
• 1998 in Kansas City, police conduct a no‐knock raid on the home of David Doran on an anonymous tip that he was dealing methamphetamine. Raiding officers subsequently shoot Doran twice, inflicting injuries that required a two‐week hospital stay and the loss of his only functioning kidney. Police found no methamphetamine, nor did they find any evidence that Doran had ever operated a methamphetamine lab. A federal jury awards Doran $2 million, finding that the Kansas City Board of Police Commissioners was "deliberately indifferent" in preventing officers from illegally entering private homes
• November 1998, a thirteen‐year‐old child named Timothy Wilson died after being shot five times by three Kansas City officers who saw him driving recklessly. Jury awards his mother $700,000 for wrongful death.
• 1998 In Florissant, a grand jury investigation found substantial evidence that three Florissant police officers had sex with two teenage police Explorer scouts. Some of the encounters occurred on duty during ride‐alongs. All three officers resigned after the investigation began.
Acceleration of the Movement:
The police state movement began to accelerate after the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The
government reacted swiftly, passing the Patriot Act which gave police unprecedented power and redefined the term
'domestic terrorist' to be so open ended that any person dissenting against government actions could have their assets
seized and be held without a trial. This redefining of the word 'terrorist' was essential in their investigations because if
you could label someone a 'terrorist' then the police state was able to work without observing Constitutional rights.
Political movements, activists and other grassroots organizations became particularly vulnerable to the broad new
scope of this police power. The Military Commissions Act of 2006 granted more power to the police state as it vaguely
defined an unlawful enemy combatant as "a person who has engaged in hostilities or who has purposefully and
materially supported hostilities against the United States". With over a million names on the terrorist watch list, last
estimated to be growing by some 20,000/month, and so little transparency that a citizen cannot easily find out if he is
on this list, short of being harassed as an indicator, FPIAC sees no end to the growth of the police state movement. If
anything, we at FPIAC expect the police state to grow exponentially as the economic situation continues to deteriorate
and more people can be identified as 'terrorists' for merely disagreeing with decisions made by our elected
representatives.
The Police State Post September 11, 2001:
During this time period the police state had lost the attention of the mainstream media and public. FPIAC reports
though that, from the attack on Sept 11, 2001 through February, 2009, Missouri police corruption, and abuses of power
against citizens, have escalated significantly.
Noteworthy Missouri Police Activity from 20002009:
• September 2000: Three Webster Groves police officers are fired for having sexual encounters with teen‐aged girls The names of the officers were not released. Later, a fourth officer resigns for improper conduct with teenage girls.
• February 2004: A federal lawsuit is filed against the Sheriff and officers of Greene County Jail, Missouri, alleging a pattern of serious ill‐treatment of jail inmates, including abusive use of tasers. The lawsuit
was brought on behalf of 11 former inmates, most in temporary custody pending the posting of bail. The allegations of abuse ranged from physical brutality and excessive force, including beatings and ripping body piercings out, to acts of humiliation, including guards forcing female inmates to take off their clothes in the presence of male staff and exposing them to the gaze and
ridicule of guards and male prisoners.
• June 2004, a Kansas City police officer electro‐shocks an unarmed 66‐year‐old African American woman in her home, as she resists being issued a ticket for honking her car horn at police. Kansas City Police Department’ policy, introduced in April 2004, allowed officers to use tasers on subjects who displayed "passive resistance":
people who refuse to follow police instructions but do not physically resist an officer.
• July 31, 2006: Two Northwoods Police Officers, while acting in their capacities as law enforcement officers, conspire to physically assault the victim who was being detained at the Northwoods Police Department. While one officer held the victim on the ground with his foot, the other struck the victim multiple times causing him bodily injury. Both officers then made false statements to a special agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation to cover up their roles in the conspiracy and assault. Later, both would plead guilty to conspiracy to violate the civil rights of a jailed man
• Aug. 16, 2005: A Clay County sheriff's deputy assaults a motorist by punching and kicking him in the groin and throat, while he was handcuffed. The deputy attempts to alter the videotape made by his dashboard camera, but his actions were recorded by another camera. The deputy would later plead guilty in federal court to
charges of using excessive force and obstructing justice.
• March 24, 2006: An undercover investigator posts a video of an encounter with police at the Independence Missouri station. The investigator peaceably asks for a complaint form and gets his head smashed into a plexiglass partition.
• June 15, 2006: Officers from the Combined Ozark Multi‐Jurisdictional Enforcement Team conduct a raid on Durr‐Pojar's home on an anonymous tip that the woman and her son are running a meth lab inside. Police break out windows, tear down doors and screens, throw objects out a second story window, and throw Durr‐ Pojar and Pojar to the ground and handcuff them. Durr‐Pojar suffers a gash beneath her eye and requires a splint and crutches for kneed injuries. Pojar gets contusions under his eye and on his back. Police find no meth
and no meth lab. Greene County Sheriff Jack Merritt later tells a local newspaper that Durr‐Pojar's injuries were her own fault, because she "shouldn't have run" when the black‐clad SWAT team raided her home.
• June 2007: LaVonda Kimble was arrested for failure to appear for two traffic stops. Kimble was later found dead in St Louis Police custody. Kimble was denied Albuterol during an asthma attack by police officers and medical staff of Correctional Medical Services.
• September 2007: Brett Darrow, a St. Louis resident, posted an online video of an encounter with St.George police Sgt. James Kuehnlein. In the video, Kuehnlein approaches Darrow while he waits in a parked car in a commuter parking lot. When Darrow asks Kuehnlein whether he did anything wrong, the officer orders Darrow out of the car and threatens to fabricate charges and arrest him. Kuehnlein himself pleaded guilty of assault and stealing in two different cases, in 1988 and 1990. He successfully petitioned a judge in St. Louis County in 1998 to expunge his criminal record, which was making it hard for him to get work as a cop. The judge ordered those records sealed, as well as records of an acquittal for drunken driving and an assault arrest that did not result in
charges.
• February 26, 2008: The American Civil Liberties Union of Eastern Missouri filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of a solider currently serving in Iraq. Army Specialist Anthony Collins of Charlie Company’ 327th Infantry Regiment returned to St. Louis on leave from war‐torn Iraq, he encountered the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department, whose officers pepper‐sprayed him, forced him to the ground, handcuffed him and arrested him near a routine police checkpoint on June 30, 2006
• April 24, 2008: Washington Park Police Officer Juan McCoy, 35, is arrested for sodomizing a boy in St. Louis. The abuse took place in the 3700 block of Winnebago between June 2007 and August 2007.
• July 2008: A 16 year old suffers a broken back and heel after falling from an overpass, and is rendered mmobile. When Ozark police arrive, they taser him 19 times. According to the police captain, the boy "refused to comply with the officers".
• June 20, 2008: The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department raid a two‐family home, break down the doors, damage walls and furniture, and use a smoke grenade. The home they enter is that of Ms. Mary Valentine, 86. Ms. Valentine has been unsuccessful in her demands for an apology and compensation from the police department for the damage done to her home in the botched raid.
• Oct 9 2008: The First Southern Bank on West Murphysboro Road is robbed of about $22,000 cash by two men concealing their faces under motorcycle helmets. No one is injured. James D. Gaddis, 26, of Murphysboro, Ill., is arrested the following Wednesday without incident. Gaddis, who had worked as a Carbondale police officer
since 2004, was suspended without pay.
Reemergence
of the Movement:
Police State proponents continuously exploit current national and world events in order to increase the power of their
movement. Due to the current economical and political situation, a lush environment for police state activity has been
created. Unemployment rates are high, as well as cost of living expenses. Additionally, President Barack Obama is seen
as tight on gun control, which could further erode citizen's rights, as well as the Constitution of the United States. Police
supremacists from within the police state movement have further become angered due to growing objections to the
patriot act and other attacks on the civil liberties of Americans, as well as negative public reactions to increasing police
brutality. Many anti‐constitutionalists within the Police State Movement have claimed the Constitution should be
ignored or abolished, so that police state abuses can continue.
Newer versions of the "free people" conspiracy have been concocted in order to empower the Police State Movement.
The "free people" are seen as using the constitution, freedom, liberty, civil rights, low taxes, an end to aggressive wars,
and a return to reasonable monetary policies, in order to carry out their goal of individual rights. Reason, common
sense, and history are believed to be utilized in order to end unconstitutional authorities, and place people back into a
constitutional republic. The scenario has received additional attention due to people becoming angry over government
bailouts. The Police State Movement sees this anger as the force that will take away their abusive powers, and that this
frustration is in violation of the "government does whatever the heck it wants and you'll like it" act. There are also
concerns that people are becoming frustrated by banking and media abuses, and that free people are pointing out the
corruption and incompetence. There is a great deal of fear that people may get tired of having greater and greater
amounts their money stolen from them through the Federal Reserve System and taxes.
Additional Motivators for police state activity against citizens:
Ammunition Accountability Act:
The Ammunition Accountability Act has been up for legislation in
most states. This legislation would require that an ID number be engraved on the round of all
ammunition and this ammo could in turn be linked to the place of purchase and the purchaser. Some
states have added a clause to the act making it a misdemeanor to possess unregistered ammunition.
This act would drive up prices of ammunition and the increase in prices would also create more
police state revenues due to the increase in sales tax while creating criminals out of
previously law abiding citizens who may possess unregistered ammo.
Bill did not pass in
Missouri
Anticipation of the economic collapse of the US Government:
Many law enforcement
agencies have been preparing for the possible collapse
of societal structures. Despite the Posse Comitatus Act
which forbids US military operations on US soil, we
now have NORTHCOMM conducting exercises for the
event of civil unrest and crowd control. We have urban
warfare training startling citizens in cities across the
country from New Orleans, still shell shocked from
Katrina, to Portland, Oregon. FEMA also assists in
training police departments across the country.
Possible Constitutional Convention (Con Con):
Currently 32 states have called for a Constitutional
Convention (Con Con) that will add amendments to the
U.S. Constitution. The Con Con will be held if two more
Bullet with engraved
Tracking number
states request it. The convention is planned specifically for the reason of adding a balanced budget amendment to the
Constitution. There is much confusion over possible outcomes of a Con Con and some citizens may be concerned that
the 1st and 2nd amendments or even the entire Constitution, could be altered, as a Con Con delegation has no oversight
of their actions, if one is convened, and their decisions could become the law of the land.
A new Constitutional Convention
could be seen as beneficial for the burgeoning police state apparatus and growing
globalization movement, however, 3/4s of the states would have to approve it, so the Police State's concern in this
matter, about dangerous citizens, seems like manufactured paranoia
North American Union (NAU):
It has been claimed on mainstream media that this union would link Canada, The
United States and Mexico. This is also known as The Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP). One
benefit of the SPP for the police state is the agreement to allow Canadian and Mexican troops on US soil to assist the
police state in the event of an emergency as defined by the President.
Universal Service Program:
Prior to the election of President Obama his campaign site read, "Obama will call on
citizens of all ages to serve America, by developing a plan to require 50 hours of community service in middle school
and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year." These sentiments were also expressed at
campaign rallies where he demanded the creation of a civilian force “hat’ just as powerful, just as strong, just as wellfunded”as the military. Obama's Chief Of Staff, Rahm Emanuel echoes these sentiments in his book where he writes, "All
Americans between the ages of eighteen and twenty‐five will be asked to serve their country by going through three
months of basic training, civil defense preparation and community service." He expounds on this plan in a prior
interview in which he lays out the groundwork for having a trained civilian force to be drafted during national
emergencies. As Emanuel recently stated, "Never waste a good crisis."
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID):
Currently mandated by Federal Law, all states are expected
to comply with the REAL ID Act. This act would require that states insert RFID chips in drivers'
licenses containing all personal data and other private information. Some states are fighting this police
state move due to privacy and identity theft concerns voiced by an ever‐growing chorus of citizens.
Law Enforcement Trends:
Ideologies
Members of the Missouri Police State movement often subscribe to certain movements such as:
Peace Officer
: Peace Officers strong desire to protect both the community and the individual is admirable. His
knowledge of both the law and citizens rights make him uniquely suited to the role of protector. The Peace Officer once
common across the country is becoming rare. they are generally found only in isolated and, usually, rural areas. Due to
politics, and a distorted justice system, many have left the police force to take positions as Firefighters and EMTs. It is
these Peace Officers, that join groups like "Oath Keepers", who understand the concepts of honor and justice. Finally,
we have former officers, like Sheriff Richard Mack, who have written books on the proper role of Law Enforcement in a
free society.
Flatfoot
: By far the most common type of Police Officer, These are generally well intentioned, but uneducated/ill
informed. Their heart is in the right place but often have a poor understanding of civil rights or of the laws themselves.
They are followers, and will carry out the orders of their superiors without thought or question.
Authoritarian
: Often having a sense of moral Superiority these Officers put the Law before all else. Authoritarians are Statists that have no interest in the rights of the individual. They have little knowledge of civil rights and consider them a hindrance to their job. Officers of this type will take offense with citizens questions concerning, or even the mention of
rights. They expect full and immediate compliance with any request and will punish any failure to comply. This Officer generally regards all citizens as inferior.
Crooked Cop
: These Police officers are nearly everywhere, though they may be in a department for years before being caught. They have no moral code and are simply driven by their own selfishness. They will ignore obvious crime if being paid, will shake down petty criminals, and even run criminal enterprises while in uniform. There is really no difference
between them and any other common criminal, except for their use of the Badge and Gun as their tools. However they are indistinguishable from any other Officer in Uniform until they are caught.
Power tripper
: These Officers are often the most dangerous for citizens to encounter. Though a sub‐class of the Authoritarian, this Officer also has sadistic qualities. Some may actually enjoy inflicting pain. An inflated Ego coupled with weaponry and a badge of authority give them almost superhuman superiority. The desire for control and the ability to inflict pain with impunity makes this Officer a serious threat. Even more worrying is they look exactly the
same as the others.
Bureaucrat
: The Bureaucrat is a "go along to get along" type. Motivated by little more than selfish ambitions, will always seek the favor of superiors. Having a loose moral compass they will adopt any position that will advance their career. Though they can be found at all levels in a department their goal is always to rise to the next position. These are
generally cowards. They will take credit for the deeds of others, but seldom risk themselves. They are most commonly
seen in administrative positions.
Training
Utilization of Military Tactics
: Police have been attending Military training,
(SWAT), events in order to increase their combat readiness. Military tactics are a way for civilian forces to simulate a war like enforcement stance while staying clear of "Posse Comitatus" prohibitions. The addition of LESO equipment allows Police Forces to acquire actual Military armor, weapons and equipment. Though SWAT units were a response to some organized Criminal activity, limited to a few large Metro areas, it has spread nationwide; nearly every small community now has SWAT units.
FEMA Training events:
Disaster drills using various scenarios have been successful in preparing citizens for the Police State. Often these use all the Agencies in the affected area and even "volunteers". Training exercises have been used to prepare citizens for even more intrusive tactics, including forced re‐locations and weapon confiscation.
Communications:
Police band Radio has been the primary communication tool among police officers and agencies. But that is being added to, with computers and the NCIC system. Police are, also, adding new technologies as they come available, such as: GPS tracking, remote surveillance, internet based wiretapping, and the Police State Movement is working on radio based (RFID) Identification that can be accessed without even making contact with civilians. The
Police State uses the mainstream media heavily for its propaganda distribution and is, also, known to use "trolls" who
cause trouble on internet forums, discussion boards.
Recruitment:
Though Ex Military recruiting is common, it is not so limited. The police will recruit where‐ever they can. Often, you can see examples of youth recruitment. They target children; mainly through Cartoons and Television, but, also, will go into schools with cute costumed
characters and innocent looking, goofy, presentations, to help build a false image of their nefarious nature. Most departments have youth programs and Cadet corps. Organization
Public Face:
The police like to show a friendly smiling face as their public image.
Often this is coupled with the slogan "Protect and Serve" and Community Policing to present a friendly image. They will often work with charity groups and other organizations. Public opinion is very
important to them. They will vigorously defend and protect their image, to the point of media spin, planted evidence, or witness intimidation when mistakes are made. The police will always investigate themselves to insure that no corrupting or criminal activity is found. The usual result is that "all procedures were followed".
Undercover Activities:
The Police in this group generally believe that anything goes, that the end justifies the means. They will involve themselves in criminal activities and encourage others to also so that they can arrest them. They will lie, invade privacy, and engage in crimes to eventually arrest their target. Other more insidious activities include the falsification of "evidence" and the public smearing of political leaders (see COINTELPRO). Yet others called "agents provocateurs" have been involved in inciting violence at peaceful rallies so that more aggressive control could be exercised.
Chiefs organization
. Police chiefs organizations are the political and lobbying arm of the Police State. They work with the Lawmakers to promote legislation to protect the police. They are also active in pushing for more laws and more restrictions on citizens. This is good for the job security of the Police State as more laws mean more criminals and increased budgets for their departments. Implications for Citizens
There are significant differences between the 1990's era police force and those of today, most notably:
Highly Trained:
Police are receiving more military style training than they did during the first spike of police state growth in the 1990's. SWAT Teams have
increased in both number and use becoming popular for routine warrants. With increased use and equipment provided through the LESO Federal Program, SWAT is now the preferred military response in most communities.
Leadership Training:
FEMA offers almost daily trainings for Missouri police officers at various locations to ensure local officers get the best training as defined by the federal government. As this NGO leadership is at the federal level, we can rest assured that multiple states are profiling their citizens, as well. This training also encourages individuals to form and train their own elite units.
You are the Enemy:
The police statists subscribe to an anti‐freedom and proauthoritarian government mindset, which views independent minded people willing to stand up for their ideals, like third party supporters, 2nd amendment
rights activists, pro‐lifers, and anti illegal immigration groups as potential threats, because they will not "go along to get along". Police statist supporters hope citizens remain unaware of the continuing erosion of their rights. Any stance for individual rights against arbitrary government and police power marks you as the enemy of these police state supporters. Implications for Citizens
Civil Liberties at risk in Missouri:
Political Activism:
One of the threats of the Police State and profiling is that is can stifle Political Activism. By lumping the legitimate concerns about Illegal Immigration, Abortion on Demand, National Sovereignty and Civil rights together with the criminal element puts the fear of profiling and arrest on anyone that speaks out for a cause. With this approach ANY political movement could be targeted. These sort of tactics have long been used to silence anyone that disagrees with the party line.
Presumption of innocence
: Displaying political paraphernalia in a Police State targets citizens for suspicion whether they have done anything to deserve it, or not. The Presumption of Innocence is gone and we all become criminals that must be investigated and treated as threats.
Freedom of Association
: Profiling also has the potential to discourage Citizens from joining political organizations for fear of being labeled an extremist. Profiling and surveillance will insure a closed society free from any that would speak out for a cause. Common Police Symbols:
Statist and AntiConstitution
Rhetoric:
Political Paraphernalia: Police State proponents most commonly associate with the Republican and Democratic political parties. It is not uncommon for police officers to openly display support for establishment politicians. These police officers are usually supporters of former Presidential Candidates: Rudy Giuliani, Barack Obama, John McCain, and Hillary Clinton. Anti‐Constitution Propaganda: Police State proponents often disseminate Anti‐Constitution literature. Most of this
material will depict the IRS, Federal Reserve, FBI, CIA, Undeclared Preemptive Warfare, ATF, UN, and Large Centralized Government in a positive manner. Additionally, racial, sexist, and anti‐American material may be displayed by police statists.
Police Symbols:
Highway Patrol Badge
: Officers patrolling the highways will often wear this symbol on their upper left chest.
Generic Missouri Police Badge:
This is the most common symbol used by police. It is usually displayed in the upper left chest
Police Hat:
Police often wear hats adorned with police related trinkets. The purpose of the hat is to intimidate persons in the vicinity of the police officer.
Tattoo
: Police often wear tattoos, They are often symbols of Power and Authority, but sometimes show gang affiliation.
Police Car:
This is a car commonly driven by police officers. The lights on the top allow police to signal that they are preparing to arrest you
Camera, camera, camera!
: This phrase is used by police to warn their buddies who are making an arrest that a third party is recording them and should not use excessive force while detaining an arrestee.
Taser:
The taser is worn on a cop's belt. Use of the taser is a tactless way of making a citizen obey. Rather than use common sense and negotiate with a citizen the police default their responses to a taser which is similar to torture and in many cases has caused death.
Handcuffs:
Police typically wear handcuffs on their belt. The handcuffs are used to restrain those who do not follow police orders.
Patches:
Police like to show their pride in various units, often by displaying patches and logos.

This document is a parody of the report that was put out by the MIAC and was distributed to Missouri Police
Departments. The MIAC document vilified political activists, honorable patriots, and a great many innocent Americans. It is wrong
to paint entire groups with a broad stroked brush, it is not fair nor accurate. Attempting to lump large swaths of law‐abiding
individuals in with a few unrelated crazies is intellectually dis‐honest. Such demonizing is a tired old tactic of the "divide and
conquer" variety, and is best met with sharp, biting ridicule. As you can see, by listing the actions of a few individual police officers,
an entire group can be painted in a negative light. The majority of the individuals supporting the modern freedom movement are
normal, peace loving Americans who would never harm anyone, without just cause, including police officers.

WASHINGTON – A newly unclassified Department of Homeland Security report warns against the possibility of violence by unnamed “right-wing extremists” concerned about illegal immigration, increasing federal power, restrictions on firearms, abortion and the loss of U.S. sovereignty and singles out returning war veterans as particular threats.
The report, titled “Right-wing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment,” dated April 7, states that “threats from white supremacist and violent anti-government groups during 2009 have been largely rhetorical and have not indicated plans to carry out violent acts.”
However, the report goes on to suggest worsening economic woes, potential new legislative restrictions on firearms and “the return of military veterans facing significant challenges reintegrating into their communities could lead to the potential emergence of terrorist groups or lone wolf extremists capable of carrying out violent attacks.”
The report from DHS’ Office of Intelligence and Analysis defines right-wing extremism in the U.S. as “divided into those groups, movements and adherents that are primarily hate-oriented (based on hatred of particular religious, racial or ethnic groups) and those that are mainly anti-government, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration.”
“[T]he consequences of a prolonged economic downturn – including real estate foreclosures, unemployment and an inability to obtain credit – could create a fertile recruiting environment for right-wing extremists and even result in confrontations between such groups and government authorities similar to those in the past,” the report says.
It adds that “growth in these groups subsided in reaction to increased government scrutiny as a result of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing and disrupted plots, improvements in the economy and the continued U.S. standing as the pre-eminent world power.”
“Proposed imposition of firearms restrictions and weapons bans likely would attract new members into the ranks of right-wing extremist groups as well as potentially spur some of them to begin planning and training for violence against the government,” the report continues. “The high volume of purchases and stockpiling of weapons and ammunition by right-wing extremists in anticipation of restrictions and bans in some parts of the country continue to be a primary concern to law enforcement.”
Most notable is the report’s focus on the impact of returning war veterans.
“Returning veterans possess combat skills and experience that are attractive to right-wing extremists,” it says. “DHS/I&A is concerned that right-wing extremists will attempt to recruit and radicalize veterans in order to boost their violent capacities.”
The report cites the April 4 shooting deaths of three police officers in Pittsburgh as an example of what may be coming, claiming the alleged gunman holds a racist ideology and believes in anti-government conspiracy theories about gun confiscations, citizen detention camps and “a Jewish-controlled ‘one-world government.’”
It also suggests the election of an African-American president and the prospect of his policy changes “are proving to be a driving force for right-wing extremist recruitment and radicalization.”
The report also mentions “‘end times’ prophecies could motivate extremist individuals and groups to stockpile food, ammunition and weapons. These teachings also have been linked with the radicalization of domestic extremist individuals and groups in the past, such as the violent Christian Identity organizations and extremist members of the militia movement.”
“DHS/I&A assesses that right-wing extremist groups’ frustration over a perceived lack of government action on illegal immigration has the potential to incite individuals or small groups toward violence,” the report continues.
The report states the DHS will be working with state and local partners over the next several months to determine the levels of right-wing extremist activity in the U.S.
Last month, the chief of the Missouri highway patrol blasted a report issued by the Missouri Information Analysis Center that linked conservative groups to domestic terrorism, assuring that such reports no longer will be issued. The report had been compiled with the assistance of DHS.
The report warned law enforcement agencies to watch for suspicious individuals who may have bumper stickers for third-party political candidates such as Ron Paul, Bob Barr and Chuck Baldwin.
It further warned law enforcement to watch out for individuals with “radical” ideologies based on Christian views, such as opposing illegal immigration, abortion and federal taxes.
Chief James Keathley of the Missouri State Patrol issued a statement that the release of the report, which outraged conservatives nationwide, prompted him to “take a hard look” at the procedures through which the report was released by the MIAC.
“My review of the procedures used by the MIAC in the three years since its inception indicates that the mechanism in place for oversight of reports needs improvement,” he wrote. “Until two weeks ago, the process for release of reports from the MIAC to law enforcement officers around the state required no review by leaders of the Missouri State Highway Patrol or the Department of Public Safety.”
“For that reason, I have ordered the MIAC to permanently cease distribution of the militia report,” he said. “Further, I am creating a new process for oversight of reports drafted by the MIAC that will require leaders of the Missouri State Highway Patrol and the Department of Public Safety to review the content of these reports before they are shared with law enforcement. My office will also undertake a review of the origin of the report by MIAC.”
Where is the fair and balanced left wing extremist task force? This goes hand in hand with the fairness doctrine. If the criticism gets too tough just squelch your opponent. This is a Nazi Gestapo tactic. Very scary shit.
