DOMESTIC TERRORISM

Domestic terrorism investigations are among the highest priorities of the FBI’s National Security Division.

Domestic terrorist groups are those which are based and which operate entirely within the United States, or its territories, and whose activities are directed at elements of the U.S. Government or its civilian population. The threat posed by domestic terrorist groups has remained significant over the past several years. Domestic terrorist groups represent interests spanning the full political spectrum, as well as social issues and concerns. However, FBI investigations of domestic terrorist groups are not predicated upon social or political beliefs; rather, they are based upon planned or actual criminal activity.

The current domestic terrorist threat primarily comes from right-wing extremist groups, including radical paramilitary (militia) groups, Puerto Rican terrorist groups, and special interest groups.

It's amusing to see them try to say Aryan Nation = militia = NRA = 2nd Amendment Supporter = all bad people.

This is quite a naively written piece. You can always note this naivete when the Brits try to write about some aspect of American society that they utterly don't comprehend.

[Mulder]

I also think these "miltia" and "right-wing" stories are being ferretted out to shift American anger from the middle eastern terrorists who are more than likely the true culprits.

I fear that things may get a lot worse (already seeing more Anthrax cases), and the full brunt of American anger would result in a total and complete annihilation of the sand goblins who are responsible. But diversity is good, and we can't have that, so the liberals need to find scapegoats so that the war overseas will not be fully prosecuted.

Osama is no dummy. He undrstands "divide and conquer". Now.....will the sheeple fall for it??

[savedbygrace]

This is Barbra Steisand. With an emphasis on the Streisand.

This is part of a transparent attempt to divide this nation against itself. It seems to be having some success, judging from the reaction right here in River City.

Free Republic is turning into Panic Town, USA. We need to cut this out. We're being silly.

I smell a set up.

Yeeooosir
Skip the hip boots, bring on the chest waders for this one!

Me and my other 2A buddies were wondering if Bin Laden could induce homegrown dissension by having one of his lunatics get loose with an "ugly gun." I sense the gun grabbers would go hog wild at least at the state level if not at Shumer's hands.

NPR Affiliate's "California Report": Terror threat from Christians and Patriots from 10/08/01

Looks like the media is getting ready to go for the jugular…

[NoControllingLegalAuthority]

This article has "Clinton" fingerprints on it. What a great way to try and save the Democrap sinking ship -blame Anthrax on the right-wing extremists!

[znix]

Here it comes...

[Don Myers]

They have many posters on free republic believing this. Imagine how many liberals will jump on this band wagon along with the free republic posters?

[ScholarWarrior]

This Brit is so asinine.
The reports are in the following areas:
Lithuania, Australia, Canada, France, Germany and Britain, in addition to at least several hundred in the US.
Aside from the fact that at least some of this is weapons grade, with multiple distribution points and methods.
I'd love to debate who they think could do this.

[chainsaw]

The liberal have to make the Islamic terrorist look lilly white.
Blame it on american patriots that are ready to uphold the constitution.

But you can't blame this on militias:

[Bogie]

The timing of this article? England? It must have been written and ready to go before the good Senator made his anouncment!

I am already willing to accept a goofy right-wing, way-out-of-bounds group to be implicated in the “fake” anthrax scares. But what’s going to really pi$$ me off is the goofy left-wing liberal press calling them right-wing Christians, as they did in this article. Timothy McVeigh was not a Christian. Not left, right, or anything in between. The people who are conducting this are not of any religion. But I am beginning to believe that they are not necessarily foreigners.

Now the source of the real anthrax attacks is another matter.

[Dr. Frank fan]

All have links with the National Rifle Association, the influential lobby group which represents weapons' manufacturers, hunters and gun clubs and campaigns for the right of all Americans "to own and bear arms".

I wonder who they are quoting here with this "to own and bear arms" phrase. Is that how the NRA phrases it? What happened to "keep and bear arms"?

Too obviously taken directly from the Constitution?

[Osinski]

Garbage garbage garbage.

[SuziQ]

There is some doubt as to whether this right is enshrined legally in the American constitution but the NRA has powerful supporters in both senate and congress and no-one has yet managed successfully to challenge the all-pervasive nationwide gun culture.

Typical Brit liberal crap. Man what a smear job! Granted this may be the work of some militia whack jobs, but this article makes it sound like if you are a Christian gun-owner, the whole nation should be afaid of you. What a maroon!
