The White House announced a strategy to help police, schools and other local organizations counter the threat of domestic radicalism, a broad plan involving federal departments not usually associated with national security.
The effort is modeled on anti-gang initiatives developed in the 1990s and programs intended to prevent school shootings like the tragedy at Columbine High School in Colorado in 1999.
Although short on details, the eight-page outline for the first time called on all parts of the U.S. government, including the departments of Education and Health and Human Services, to devise ways to help communities identify extremist agendas that could lead to violence.
Wednesday's announcement came a week after the arrest of U.S. soldier Naser Jason Abdo in Killeen, Texas. Abdo was charged with possessing an unregistered destructive device after a gun store clerk tipped police that he had behaved oddly while buying gunpowder. Abdo planned to blow up a restaurant frequented by soldiers stationed at nearby Ft. Hood, authorities said.
At his arraignment, Abdo yelled out the name of Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the Army psychiatrist who is accused of killing 13 people and wounding 32 during a 2009 shooting rampage at Ft. Hood.
Congressional investigations into the Ft. Hood shootings revealed warning signs that could have tipped off authorities.
Intelligence reports indicate that Al Qaeda has tried to recruit Americans to launch attacks on U.S. soil.
Thirty-one American citizens or permanent residents were arrested between May 2009 and July 2011 in connection with homegrown terrorism plots, according to the Congressional Research Service. Those arrests within a two-year period contrast with 21 such arrests in the previous seven years.

Domestic radicalism? Obama's old buds on the left better watch it.
Start with:
If left at that, it could mean anyone who does not do as they are ordered to by their Overseers.
I do not for one damned second believe their definition of domestic radicalism means anything to do with Islam. Radical or otherwise.
I'm buying more ammo tomorrow.
Only about 10% of my brain found the humor in that.
Since Obama was 'elected', I have become increasingly concerned that what you posted will come to be factual.
Love the bumper stickers on that truck. I think my favorite one is, “I’m willing to die protecting my 2nd Amendment rights. Are you willing to die trying to take them from me?”
That picture went viral last year.
I think the owner of that truck already proved he's got major brass. That boy ain't playin.
Obama knows our own military could not be counted on to reliably put down civilians.
That is why he wants to build his OBAMA-KORPS.
VIDEO: Barack Obama Civilian National Security Force
"We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."-- Barack Obama quote
“...and vote them out”
hopefully the ballot box is all it will take....
All of your worst nightmares about big brother will come true under this plan.
It must be defeated. If the GOP will not defeat it, we must seek a new party, or form one.
The Tea Party movement -- seditious? Will the Obama Administration follow FDR? Are prominent Americans associated with the Tea Party movement in danger?
Not immediately. First some minor Tea Party movement activists will be prosecuted.. if Obama follows the game plan of FDR. There will be efforts to imprison minor members first -- as a "warm up".
The Great Sedition Trial of 1944 is the true story of anti-communist opponents of FDR who were maligned as pro-Nazi anti-Semites. Some of these people were associated with the American First Committee often identified with Charles A. Lindbergh, other prominent Americans, and also maligned as pro-Nazi.
To bring home the FDR Administration's point of these Americans being "pro-Nazi" several German-American Bundists previously convicted were added to the group being prosecuted by Roosevelt's DoJ. That was an effort to collectively discredit all the defendants as alien and "un-American."
Roosevelt appointed a New York lawyer named O. John Rogge to the Justice Department as an assistant attorney general specially in charge of the Sedition Case.
After years then president Truman fired Rogge and it was learned that Rogge had "been a good friend of Soviet dictator Josef Stalin, was involved in numerous Communist front groups, and had visited Russia where he spoke in the Kremlin and laid a wreath at the grave of American Communist Party co-founder John Reed in Red Square. His wreath was inscribed, 'In loving memory from grateful Americans.'"
You can object to using this vis-a-vis the Tea Party movement. But I argue that like the critics of Roosevelt the Tea Party movement is feared by the "progressives" not for immediate reasons primarily but for the more important long-term goals.
These people opposed FDR's global government goals and his apparent acceptance of communism.
One more thing. Rogge was so convinced that these people on trial had to be fascists that after the war ended he arranged to travel to Germany and interview ex-officials to document the connections between the Nazis and the Americans charged with sedition. There were no connections except for one of the aforementioned Bundists.
Here. Yes it's one man's story but it comports well with other sources.
The whole effort was eventually recognized as a fiasco and denounced by many -- the hurt on the victims (little people all, the elite critics of FDR escaped untouched) was devastating.
Beware of what you ask for. You might not like the results. Policies like this can and probably will be turned against those who put it in place.
This administration is ALWAYS short on details, more than any other admin I can recall. But we know the hard-nosed media will be digging for more info on this plan, as well as asking hard questions.
Why are you laughing?
Everything, and I mean everthing, that comes out of this White House is short on details.
Really? What could those warning signs have possibly been?
You must have ESP and a quicker typing hand than me.
This can only mean he’s firing Holder and then resigning from office. Finally!
Thanks NormsRevenge.
Just this past week a NAACP member, and i think an officer in the orgn. was convicted of 10 counts of voter fraud--4 of the people he voted for were dead. This was in AL or MS. Did anybody here see it in the news? I'll bet it made nary ripple outside local news.
As far as I am concerned, we have waaaaay too many alphabet departments with their own swat teams.

What does mommy and daddy watch on TV?
What do they read?
Have they ever taken you to a council or any type of political meeting?
Do they call themselves Patriots?
Do they school you on how this country was founded, or what the first Tea Party was about?
Do you have dinner table discussions about the Government?
Do they and their friends discuss these issues?
Who are their friends, can you name them?
Etc., Etc., Etc. Simple sweet litte questions, designed to get the kids to talk, not knowing what they are actually telling the schools.
I suppose the very first questions would be: "Are your parents in the UNION? If yes, end of questioning as they are no threat.
