They have finally identified the enemy, and the enemy is us !


CNN is broadcasting a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) report which outlines what the Obama administration considers a threat to the United States.  CNN outlines the report and claims the threats are:

[…]”from sovereign citizen groups as equal to — and in some cases greater than — the threat from foreign Islamic terror groups, such as ISIS”.  (link)

Yes, “greater than” the threat posed by ISIS.

Obviously, beyond the insufferable substance of the report, the timing of the report highlights a divisionary tactic by the Obama administration to deflect attention away from their own unwillingness to identify, let alone confront, the threat of Islamic Terror spreading globally.
Apparently it is far more in line with the current administration to consider disgruntled U.S. citizens as a more significant threat to the advancement of the current White House agenda.

When you get to the construct of the report you begin to understand the ideology behind the dissemination. But first it’s important to recognize the framework used by CNN to bring attention. Including their use of the following:

[…] A survey last year of state and local law enforcement officers listed sovereign citizen terrorists, ahead of foreign Islamists, and domestic militia groups as the top domestic terror threat.
The survey was part of a study produced by the University of Maryland’s National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism.

Obviously any media report quoting the University of Maryland’s consortium on Terrorism will immediately signify a liberal mind rapidly at work to identify those who they consider “extreme”, ie. any non liberal. It only takes a paragraph to more to verify:

[…] Mark Potok, senior fellow at the Southern Poverty Law Center, said that by some estimates, there are as many as 300,000 people involved in some way with sovereign citizen extremism. Perhaps 100,000 people form a core of the movement, he said.
The federal government’s focus on the domestic groups waxes and wanes, Potok said, in part because the threat from foreign groups like al Qaeda and its affiliates.

Yes, that would be the same Mark Potok and SPLC who just last week announced that Dr. Ben Carson is a severe and dangerous terror threat to the United States after they labeled him an “extremist”.
But when you look closer at the DHS report’s substance you find something even more odd. They seem to focus on threats to law enforcement; which would naturally bring any casual observer to state they must be including the #FTP (Fuck The Police) crowd, right?

[…] The report adds that “law enforcement officers will remain the primary target of (sovereign citizen) violence over the next year due to their role in physically enforcing laws and regulations.”

Nope, DHS/Obama are not talking about the #FTP crowd, who are actually engaging in targeting law enforcement officers.

Instead the DHS report  appears to be focused, yet again, on the mythical group of Domestic Right-Wing-Extremists; like the kind who participated in the curious unicorn case of spitting at the congressional black caucus in 2010 during the passage of Obamacare.
Both the White House and the Media are nothing if not consistent. Which brings us to the part where we present the visual demonstration of how this DHS report should be viewed by the broader U.S. electorate.
It is easier to sum up in one picture:
