One month after the San Bernardino terrorist attack that left 14 innocent people dead, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson told advisors that right wing extremists pose just as much of a threat to the country as Islamic extremists.
Johnson made the comments during the Homeland Security Advisory Council’s (HSAC) January meeting. City of Austin Mayor Art Acevedo, whom Johnson appointed to HSAC, shifted the discussion to the threat of right-wing extremists, according to the official meeting minutes.
“Member Acevedo reminded the Council that the threat from right-wing extremists domestically is just as real as the threat from Islamic extremism,” the minutes state.
Another council member, Cardinal Point Strategies CEO Paul Goldenberg, joined the chorus.
“Member Goldenberg seconded Member Acevedo’s remarks and noted the importance of online sites in right wing extremist communities, not only in America but worldwide,” the minutes state.
The meeting was also attended by the co-chairs of HSAC’s Subcommittee on Combating Violent Extremism.
As originally reported by The Daily Caller on Monday, a report published by that subcommittee last week urged DHS to avoid using the words “sharia” and “jihad” (among others) when discussing terrorism, in order to avoid offending Muslims.
At the meeting in January, Subcommittee Co-Chair Adnan Kifayat “emphasized that the report will be respectful of the communities it seeks to engage with, and will take into account those communities specific needs.”
As originally reported by TheDC, one of the current sitting members on the subcommittee is a 25-year-old Syrian immigrant who has consistently disparaged America, free speech and white people on social media. That member, Laila Alawa, also publicly stated that the September 11 attacks “changed the world for good.”
Like all those violent right wing protesters at the Trump rally in San Jose.
Saudi/muslim money has infiltrated both parties and is absolutely controlling the White House and Congress, there is no doubt.
This is why an FBI list that says don’t let them buy a gun due to political extremism flags is a bad idea. They’ll put everyone on the list who donated to Tea Party groups and leave off Muslims who like ISIS online, such as the San Bernadino shooters.
We have a gun show this weekend. Might need to take a look, replace some of those lost in the boating accident.
Odd.
I’ve had that same premonition . . that we won’t make it to the next election - especially if it looks like DJT will win.
This employee is proof of Obama’s culpability in the Orlando terror attack. The responsibility for the Islamic terror attack lies squarely on the Obama administration.

Johnson’s first name is taken from a Liberian chief, who reportedly saved his grandfather’s life while he was on a League of Nations mission to Liberia in 1930.[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeh_Johnson
Trump needs to win big and his first order of business after rolling back every one of Obama’s fiats is to purge every department of its leaders, down to the first line manager level. Every one of those jobs then get posted on USAJobs.gov and only given to veterans.
This administration, and democrats in general, hate the Christian foundation of this country, and want to eliminate Christianity. They hope to enlist muzzlims to help them do it, and so they give special privileges to muzzlims, and persecute Christians.
“only given to veterans” ........... Sounds good to me.
DHS is doing a LOUSY job,,,,
how bout they focus on the mission...
Jeh Johnson is a clown with no clue or qualifications for the job at hand....
Decades back, we got, and still have, communists in our government. Why stop now?
I think if you want to work for the government, the prerequisite is you serve in the military, especially managers.
Anyone who has ever dealt with the VA would agree with you.

Kommisar Goldenberg seconded Kommisar Acevedo’s remarks...
Everyone must realize they are talking about FReerepublic,
they are talking about US.

Some how all the massacres by the Klan and various militias never get reported by the media. Are they so frequent they just aren’t newsworthy?
Excellent. They always like to point out the unprovable as a defense for their failures.
Code for “white bitter-clingers.”
Meanwhile, by far the most violence at campaign events this season has been perpetrated by LEFT wingers.
Lunatics like Jeh.

Saw this fool on Fox last night being interviewed by Bret Baier. Shifty to say the least and not very reassuring
Strict party line supporting Obama . I get the impression they know more, but are using the “ at this time” repeatedly to get some distance from the event so they feel people will forget about it.
It will be a very good thing when Johnson loses his job early next year ...
