Obama and Lynch Sponsor Study of Far Right Groups Like Christians and Patriots
Red Statements ^ | Steven Ahle

Posted on 06/03/2015 4:29:44 AM PDT by HomerBohn

Obama and Lynch have combined to pay for a study by Michigan State University to study right wing groups and their use of the social media and how it evolves into violence. Many of you may remember that back in April of 2013, it was revealed that the DHS was sponsoring state lessons on the danger of violence that would be perpetrated by Christians and “sovereign citizens”. (Patriots) I remember it well because I am the investigative journalist that broke the story as many of my longtime readers can attest to. The story went national when Glenn Beck read my expose on The Blaze:

(fast forward to 4:40)

http://www.video.theblaze.com/media/video.jsp?content_id=26138049

It was I who found a courageous Colorado undersheriff who agreed to come forward with his story. That officer, Ron Trowbridge came forward even though it opened him up to ridicule by the state police and eventually cost him his job. (His wife Shelli, besides being very supportive of her husband bakes the best oatmeal raisin cookies ever……….ever) He wrote his story out for me in a letter which I published at the time:

From: rtrowbridge@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To:xxxxxxxxxxhotmail.com Subject: CSP Training Date: Fri, 5 Apr 2013 10:30:22 -0600

On April 1, 2013 I attended training in La Junta, Colorado hosted by the Colorado State Patrol (CSP). The training was from 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm and covered two topics, Sovereign Citizens, and Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs. I was pretty familiar with motorcycle gangs but since we often deal with the so-called sovereign citizen groups I was interested to see what they had to say. The group consisted of police officers, deputies, and CSP troopers. There were about 20 people in attendance.

Trooper Joe Kluczynski taught a 2-hour section on sovereign citizens. Kluczynski spent most of his two hours focusing on how, in his view and apparently the view of Homeland Security, people turn to the sovereign citizen movement. Kluczynski started off by saying there are probably some sovereign citizens in this room and gave a generalized list of those groups that have sovereign citizen views. Among those groups, Kluczynski had listed, were those who believe America was founded on godly principles, Christians who take the Bible literally, and “fundamentalists”. Kluczynski did not explain what he meant by “fundamentalists” but from the context it was clear he was referring again to those who took the Bible literally or “too seriously.”

While Kluczynski emphasized that sovereign citizens have a right to their beliefs, he was clearly teaching that the groups he had listed should be watched by law enforcement and should be treated with caution because of their potential to assault law enforcement. Kluczynski explained why he believed these groups were dangerous saying they were angry over the election of a black president. When someone in the group suggested the failing economy was probably much more to blame, Kluczynski intimated that those who are not going along with the changes in America will need to be controlled by law enforcement. Kluczynski even later questioned some of the troopers present if they were willing and prepared to confiscate “illegal” weapons if ordered to.

Kluczynski’s assignment with the CSP was an Analyst for the Colorado Information Analysis Center, (CIAC). CIAC is funded by Homeland Security funds and run by the CSP. Kluczynski said he gets his information from the Department of Homeland Security. Kluczynski said he was leaving the CSP at the end of that week (March 29, 2013) to begin his new career with Homeland Security. I thought he was perfect for the job.

Undersheriff

Prowers County Sheriff’s Office

The DHS tried to discredit both myself and Undersheriff Trowbridge by issuing the following statement:

“The training referenced in the Undersheriff’s letter was not done in coordination with DHS and no DHS training materials were part of the prepared presentation,” the Homeland Security release read. “DHS provides law enforcement around the country with access to training that focuses on the behaviors and indicators of violent behavior, regardless of the ideology that may motivate it.”

Unfortunately for the DHS and Janet “From Another Planet” Napolitano, I had in my possession a copy of a directive sent out by the DHS to state law enforcement agencies that confirmed everything Undersheriff Trowbridge said was taught at the meeting. The document was prefaced by the following two warnings:

(U)LAW ENFORCEMENT INFORMATION NOTICE: This product contains Law Enforcement Sensitive (LES) information. No portion of the LES information

should be released to the media, the general public, or over non-secure Internet servers. Release of this information could adversely affect or jeopardize investigative activities.

(U)Warning: This document is UNCLASSIFIED//FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY (U//FOUO). It contains information that may be exempt from public release under the

Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552). It is to be controlled, stored, handled, transmitted, distributed, and disposed of in accordance with DHS policy relating to

FOUO information and is not to be released to the public, the media, or other personnel who do not have a valid need-to-know without prior approval of an authorized

DHS official. State and local homeland security officials may share this document with authorized security personnel without further approval from DHS.

And here is that document:

After the story went national, the Colorado State Police ended the program in that state and the DHS had to either ended the program nationwide or they found a better way to keep it out of the public domain. Now, after two years, it appears they are trying to revive the program beginning with a study that will reflect the opinion of Loretta Lynch and Barack Obama who are using over a half a million dollars in taxpayer money.

It is funny that they are so desperate to label Christians and patriots as violent extremists, when they adamantly refuse to say the same thing about ISIS or al Qaeda.

How nice that the Republicrat Congress united with the Communist Democrats to approve this Obamaite as AG. She's just another Holder.

Learning about this connects many dots and creates nightmare images – FEMA camps, Jade Helm, all of the false flags to attempt to justify gun confiscation, encouraging and supporting Islam, and so much more.

According to 'their' definition, we are potential 'domestic terrorists' because of our utter contempt for this monstrous government and the evil Obama regime.

“to study right wing groups and their use of the social media and how it evolves into violence.”

Hmmm, should be a short study. Although they might want to look into the new black panthers and their ilk. /s/

You know, because there’s sooooo much of THAT going on.

“Obama and Lynch have combined to pay for a study by Michigan State...”

Actually this little fascist exercise is being funded by productive taxpayers, a disproportionate number of whom are Christian and conservative.

It’s a nice change from paying for illegal invaders to be settled and turned into Democrat voters.

I was thinking similar thoughts - if it’s an “honest” study and they don’t manufacture the results they want, they won’t be finding much, if anything.

To study right wing groups and their use of the social media and how it might be coaxed into violence, I suspect.

That study is about you, FReepers.

H/T to our FRiend HomerBohn for the post (you're on fire, dude...)

All of this was made public knowledge by DHS's own admission, in the person of Janet "Big Sis" Napolitano, when in 2010 the official policy (as supported by SPLC) was to label all veterans, patriots and evangelicals as "persons of interest".

Bottom line: anyone who posts on forums such as FR has been under the watchful eye of the Left - both official government organs, and unofficial volunteer "flying monkeys".

Be Prepared.

They Are.

Those Christians are nothing but bible-thumping, gun-loving, knuckle-dragging, ignorant, stupid morons who have no intellectual capacity for anything, who believe in an invisible man in the sky and who have faith in something totally unscientific which they can’t see.

/Sarc/

IMHO

Care to make a bet with me?

I bet the dems/left try to make the claim the terrorist are using what’s being discussed in right wing news media/social media and are planning their terrorist attacks around what is being discussed.

In fact I bet they try and make the claim the Benghazi terrorist picked up on right wing news media/social media, namely Rush, comparing Obama to Peanuts Carter then planned the attack at Benghazi to mimic the Iranian hostage taking.

“...they won’t be finding much, if anything.”

What does truth have to do with the matter? They will find plenty, and you can be sure these findings will eventually work their way into the “internet content” regulation provisions of the TPP. (Brought to you by your treasonous bought-and-paid-for Republican legislators.)

yeah, Amish tend to get restless when challenged and / or confronted with white privilege.

White privilege, pffffft! Another imagined slight from an intellectually dishonest group of know-nothing intellectuals.

So what is the ‘statistic(s)’ that forms the basis for spending taxpayer money for this repeat study? Are there other government funded studies for other coherent groups that have equal or greater propensities for violence? Are these studies funded on a basis of active threat or is there some other criteria underlying the funding?

Is this a hunting expedition by a power structure against a population they feel is against their ultimate aims? Is this a case of ‘projection’ from a group that has been violent in the past and fears violence from an opposition?

Is there anyone in government who would care to answer these questions?

Think again, My FRiend. They will find a lot of exactly what they are looking for. But, why shouldn’t they find it? Their moles, under cover operatives, and judas goats planted it there. So, prepare for the, “The They Got what They Deserved” gang.

Monitoring people for how they think is about as un-American as it gets.
