THE DEFINITION OF “DOMESTIC TERRORISM”

THE DEFINITION OF “DOMESTIC TERRORISM”
Yesterday I mentioned a brochure someone sent me from the Phoenix FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force. This is a brochure handed out to law enforcement officers in the Phoenix area to help them identify potential “domestic terrorists.”

The brochure starts out with “If you encounter any of the following, call the Joint Terrorism Task Force. The brochure then proceeds to set forth certain things that the law enforcement officers need to look for. They include ….

Pretty good stuff, huh? Let’s say you’re stopped by the cops and they want to search your car. You cite your Constitutional right to be free from unreasonable search and seizure and ask the cop why he stopped you and what he is looking for. Suddenly your name is reported to a terrorism task force.

Is any of this beginning to sound just a little frightening to you?

Well .. let’s read some more from the brochure:

“The FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force is attempting to identify criminal activities with domestic terrorists. In this regard, the purpose of this information sheet is to assist uniformed patrol officers in identifying potential domestic terrorists.
”Domestic terrorism is defined as: Groups or individuals operating entirely inside the US, attempting to influence the US government or population to effect political or social change by engaging in criminal activity.”

Do you need to read that again? Go ahead, I’ll wait.

Break this down. Any individual who violates a law in an attempt to influence the government or other people in an attempt to produce some political or social change is a domestic terrorist. Some examples:
  1. You make an illegal campaign contribution
  2. You trespass on private property while engaged in a demonstration
  3. You remove campaign yard signs erected by a politician you don’t support
  4. You illegally place campaign signs in the highway right-of-way
  5. You withhold a percentage of your income taxes to protest military spending
All of the above actions fit easily into the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force definition and thus make you a “domestic terrorist” according to this brochure.

If you aren’t starting to get a little concerned about our civil liberties at this point, you’re either a leftist or you’re asleep.

I also called to check on it, using the FBI number listed. The switchboard operator said that it had been distributed to police departments. I got the impression I was not the first person to call asking about it. Anyway, it is legitimate, not a photoshop hoax.

You might be a domestic terrorist-
*If you refer to or defend the constitution
*If you identify yourself as a christian
*If you are white

I wonder who the behind the scenes 'authors' are?

Just noticed the Constitution's now good only for rooting out possibly dangerous characters with wacked notions of Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness?

Hey ... great idea. That could be useful for getting through security without be wanded and having to take off my shoes to fly from KCI to New Orleans.

I'll work on keeping my head bowed as well.

Yup! Probably won't be long before one of our resident shills (most of us know who it is!) posts a graphic of four of them, side by side, to prove this one was altered.

You mean there's still shills here? :)

FR will always be a buzzing with them, as they need to quash any opposing views lest the sheeple wake up and smell the coffee. Couldn't have that now, could we?

Any person or group of persons that attempt to criminalize adherance to the United States Constitution is in violation of the law of the United States and is guilty of treason.

Someone who says that driving is a “right,” and not a “privilege.”
Mostly it’s liberals who say this. They get the gun ownership thing backward, too, saying that’s a privilege and not a right.
Ummm? Driving IS a RIGHT. The U.S. Supreme Court has said so. The Police Book Aide and Abet #11 also says so. It is ONLY a “Privilege” when you have a “license” and earn $$$$. Older cops know this as so do judges. It’s the hotshot rookie heros who wanna be ass kicking, face punching while you are in handcuffs who are the Socialist(shhh I said Socialist) robots who blindly follow the orders of others because they don’t have brains to think and know whats right for themselves, and THEIR Socialist judges who enforce unconstitutional laws. If you don’t know our countries laws or Constitution, THEY are NOT going to help you out and educate you about it. Hitlers SS robots did the same thing. The United States of America should now be called, the United States of Socialist America because for a FREE REPUBLIC,there sure are a lot of ding bat laws telling people what they CAN’T do.
