Confirmed: The Obama DHS hit job on conservatives is real

By Michelle Malkin  •  April 14, 2009 12:01 AM

Yesterday, Roger Hedgecock and the Liberty Papers posted an unclassified DHS Office of Intelligence and Analysis report titled:

Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment.

The “report” (PDF file here) was one of the most embarrassingly shoddy pieces of propaganda I’d ever read out of DHS. I couldn’t believe it was real.

I spent the day chasing down DHS spokespeople, who have been tied up preparing for a very important homeland security event later today: The First Lady is coming to visit their Washington office. Priorities, you know.

Well, the press office got back to me and verified that the document is indeed for real.

They were very defensive — preemptively so — in asserting that it was not a politicized document and that DHS had done reports on “leftwing extremism” in the past. I have covered DHS for many years and am quite familiar with past assessments they and the FBI have done on animal rights terrorists and environmental terrorists. But those past reports have always been very specific in identifying the exact groups, causes, and targets of domestic terrorism, i.e., the ALF, ELF, and Stop Huntingdon wackos who have engaged in physical harassment, arson, vandalism, and worse against pharmaceutical companies, farms, labs, and university researchers.

By contrast, the piece of crap report issued on April 7 is a sweeping indictment of conservatives. And the intent is clear. As the two spokespeople I talked with on the phone today made clear: They both pinpointed the recent “economic downturn” and the “general state of the economy” for stoking “rightwing extremism.” One of the spokespeople said he was told that the report has been in the works for a year. My b.s. detector went off the chart, and yours will, too, if you read through the entire report — which asserts with no evidence that an unquantified “resurgence in rightwing extremist recruitment and radicalizations activity” is due to home foreclosures, job losses, and…the historical presidential election.

In Obama land, there are no coincidences. It is no coincidence that this report echoes Tea Party-bashing left-wing blogs (check this one out comparing the Tea Party movement to the Weather Underground!) and demonizes the very Americans who will be protesting in the thousands on Wednesday for the nationwide Tax Day Tea Party.

From the report, p.2:

Rightwing extremism in the United States can be broadly divided into those groups, movements, and adherents that are primarily hate-oriented (based on hatred of particular religious, racial or ethnic groups), and those that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration.

From the report. p. 3:

(U//LES) Rightwing extremists are harnessing this historical election as a recruitment tool. Many rightwing extremists are antagonistic toward the new presidential administration and its perceived stance on a range of issues, including immigration and citizenship, the expansion of social programs to minorities, and restrictions on firearms ownership and use. Rightwing extremists are increasingly galvanized by these concerns and leverage them as drivers for recruitment. From the 2008 election timeframe to the present, rightwing extremists have capitalized on related racial and political prejudices in expanded propaganda campaigns, thereby reaching out to a wider audience of potential sympathizers.

(U) Exploiting Economic Downturn

(U//FOUO) Rightwing extremist chatter on the Internet continues to focus on the economy, the perceived loss of U.S. jobs in the manufacturing and construction sectors, and home foreclosures. Anti-Semitic extremists attribute these losses to a deliberate conspiracy conducted by a cabal of Jewish “financial elites.” These “accusatory” tactics are employed to draw new recruits into rightwing extremist groups and further radicalize those already subscribing to extremist beliefs. DHS/I&A assesses this trend is likely to accelerate if the economy is perceived to worsen.

From the report, p. 5:

(U//FOUO) Over the past five years, various rightwing extremists, including militias and white supremacists, have adopted the immigration issue as a call to action, rallying point,
and recruiting tool. Debates over appropriate immigration levels and enforcement policy generally fall within the realm of protected political speech under the First Amendment, but in some cases, anti-immigration or strident pro-enforcement fervor has been directed against specific groups and has the potential to turn violent.

And echoing the anti-military bigotry last seen in that disgusting Penn State University training video, there’s this on p. 7:

(U) Disgruntled Military Veterans

(U//FOUO) DHS/I&A assesses that rightwing extremists will attempt to recruit and radicalize returning veterans in order to exploit their skills and knowledge derived from military training and combat. These skills and knowledge have the potential to boost the capabilities of extremists—including lone wolves or small terrorist cells—to carry out violence. The willingness of a small percentage of military personnel to join extremist groups during the 1990s because they were disgruntled, disillusioned, or suffering from the psychological effects of war is being replicated today.

There’s no hackneyed left-wing stereotype of conservatives left behind in this DHS intelligence and analysis assessment. I asked both DHS spokespeople to tell me who, specifically, the report was accusing of “rightwing extremist chatter” and which “antigovernment” groups are being monitored as “extremists.” They say they’ll get back to me.

In the meantime, be aware of this from the report, p. 8:

(U//FOUO) DHS/I&A will be working with its state and local partners over the next several months to ascertain with greater regional specificity the rise in rightwing extremist activity in the United States, with a particular emphasis on the political, economic, and social factors that drive rightwing extremist radicalization.

Better make a few last-minute signs for the Tea Party. Obama’s DHS is watching:

Honk if you’re a radicalized rightwing extremist!

Guilty of rightwing extremist chatter

Anti-government, pro-freedom: Sue me

Oh, I’m sure DHS will be issuing its report on self-proclaimed bank terrorists like Bruce Marks of NACA and criminal rackeeters harassing private citizens in their homes to “exploit the economic downturn” any day now.

Update: John Hinderaker weighs in the report.

    Just change a few words, and this paragraph could have been written eight years ago…

    Leftwing extremists are harnessing this historical election as a recruitment tool. Many leftwing extremists are antagonistic toward the new presidential administration and its perceived stance on a range of issues, including immigration and citizenship, the reduction of social programs, and removing restrictions on firearms ownership and use. Leftwing extremists are increasingly galvanized by these concerns and leverage them as drivers for recruitment. From the 2000 election timeframe to the present, leftwing extremists have capitalized on related racial and political prejudices in expanded propaganda campaigns, thereby reaching out to a wider audience of potential sympathizers.

    Debates over appropriate immigration levels and enforcement policy generally fall within the realm of protected political speech under the First Amendment, but in some cases, anti-immigration or strident pro-enforcement fervor has been directed against specific groups and has the potential to turn violent.

    You know, during the Bush administration I gave my conservative friends a hard time about the massive expansion of power held by the Executive Branch over ordinary American citizens (I’m less concerned about what we do to foreign nationals in war zones – just what they can do here), in terms of loss of privacy, warrant-less search and seizure, warrant-less surveillance, defining-down habeus corpus, etc. I always got the same responses: I have nothing to hide, I’m a law abiding citizen, etc. I always had the same comeback – just wait until a Democrat gets elected and starts using these powers.

    Of course. Not to mention the Constitution. Too much freedom going on out there. The left likes to pretend they’re revolutionaries, but they’re just the most recent incarnation of authoritarianism, not much different from the people who fought for the divine right of kings and later the divine right of the socialist state. They’re like cockroaches. You can’t get rid of them, you can only control them for awhile.

    Rightwing extremism?

    [ca. July 7, 1777] The Congress desire to have a bible printed under their care & by their encouragement

    “That, your committee are of opinion, considerable difficulties will attend the procuring the types and paper; that, afterwards, the risque of importing them will considerably enhance the cost, and that the calculations are subject to such uncertainty in the present state of affairs, that Congress cannot much rely on them: that the use of the Bible is so universal, and its importance so great, that your committee refer the above to the consideration of Congress, and if Congress shall not think it expedient to order the importation of types and paper, your committee recommend that Congress will order the Committee of Commerce to import 20,000 Bibles from Holland, Scotland, or elsewhere, into the different ports of the states in the Union:”

    Whereupon, the Congress was moved, to order the Committee of Commerce to import twenty thousand copies of the Bible;

    The question being put, the house was divided:

    So it was resolved in the affirmative.

    Rightwing extremism?

    John Rodgers’s May 30, 1783 letter to George Washington suggested that Congress present each soldier with a Bible, as a gift of appreciation for their service in the Revolutionary War.

    George Washington replied June 11, 1783, saying:

    Dear Sir: I accept, with much pleasure your kind Congratulations on the happy Event of Peace, with the Establishment of our Liberties and Independence.

    Glorious indeed has been our Contest: glorious, if we consider the Prize for which we have contended, and glorious in its Issue; but in the midst of our Joys, I hope we shall not forget that, to divine Providence is to be ascribed the Glory and the Praise.

    Your proposition respecting Mr Aikins Bibles would have been particularly noticed by me, had it been suggested in Season; but the late Resolution of Congress for discharging Part of the Army, takg off near two thirds of our Numbers, it is now too late to make the Attempt. It would have pleased me, if Congress should have made such an important present, to the brave fellows, who have done so much for the Security of their Country’s Rights and Establishment.

    Rightwing extremism?

    To all of those who believe the ACLU’s lie that the first amendment prohibits an “endorsement” of religion (it doesn’t… it prohibits an “establishment” of religion), realize that the very same Congress that on Sept 25, 1789 passed this amendment:

    Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

    …is the same Congress that then proceeded to ask President George Washington:

    “To recommend to the People of the United States, a Day of public Thanksgiving and Prayer, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful Hearts the many and signal Favors of Almighty GOD, especially by affording them an Opportunity peaceably to establish a Form of Government for their Safety and Happiness.”

    President Washington did so on October 3, 1789,
    a mere eight days after the Congress had passed the amendment.

    Add to that what the first Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court said:

    “Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest, of a Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.”

    And you have all three branches of government (Legislative, Executive, and Judicial) endorsing religion.

    What does that have to do with this post? Our Founding Fathers would likely be considered “rightwing extremists” by our current government.

    STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE.

    BY THE GOVERNOR.

    A PROCLAMATION,
    FOR A DAY OF PUBLIC THANKSGIVING AND PRAISE.

    We are again permitted to witness the continued fulfilment of the promise, “that while the earth remaineth, seed time and harvest shall not cease;” again through the mercy of our Heavenly Father, has the earth yielded a liberal supply for the sustenance of man and beast. For such favors it becomes us, as a Christian people, to offer unto God our humble acknowledgements.

    I have therefore with advice of Council appointed THURSDAY, THE 25th DAY OF NOVEMBER next, to be observed as a day of PUBLIC THANKSGIVING throughout this State.

    Let us on that day assemble in our usual places of public worship, and express our gratitude to God for His unnumbered mercies bestowed on us; for the general prevalence of health throughout our State and Country; for peace and tranquility at home and abroad; for the preservation of our happy form of government, and of our free institutions; for the increasing prosperity of our common schools, and of our higher literary Institutions; and especially let us remember to offer our sincere acknowledgements to God, for the inestimable gift of His Son Jesus Christ our Redeemer and Saviour, and adore and praise Him for that hope of a blessed immortality which is brought to light in His Gospel; let us also entreat Him, still to continue His kind and watchful care over us as a State and Nation, and to preserve unto us the many blessings and privileges we now enjoy.

    The people of this State are respectfully requested to abstain from all labor and recreation, inconsistent with a due observance of the day.

    Given at Haverhill, this 12th day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and forty-one, and in the sixty-sixth year of the Independence of the United States.

    JOHN PAGE.

    By His Excellency’s Command,
    With Advice of Council.

We, the People are a bigger threat than we thought because “they” are shaking in their shoes that we are going to GET accountability!!! When we do “they” will be gone…….back to your chattering……..

    but in some cases, anti-immigration or strident pro-enforcement fervor has been directed against specific groups and has the potential to turn violent.

    So what does a radical anti-illegal immigration, pro enforcement extremist do when they meet a legal immigrant? Well the last one I met, I smiled and waved, she smiled and waved back so I went and shook her hand and uttered the most vile and hateful thing I could think of “welcome to America, land of the free because of the brave”
    My wife is a cauldron of radical extremism just waiting to boil over at the slightest provocation, she asked her to sit up front with us in Sunday school class.

    Now can we get back to the business of enforcing the laws, all the laws, all the time. So that all men can truly be equal, none above the law and none outside it’s protection.

    Ironic the man who is best pals with people who blow up buildings to make their point calling anyone an extremist.

    The politicization of Homeland Security.

    Sorry, but given the ponderously slow process by which the federal government moves and prepares reports such as these, the start of this report was very, very likely well before this administration took office. So the approval and sign off to begin this was s most likely done during the Bush administration.
    I don’t like the Obama-mockracy either, but you all are barking up the wrong tree this time.

    did you read it?
    if you had you would know it is all about obambi being black and anyone that ain’t impressed with him aka the bitter/clingers,anyone who is a vet,anyone who owns a gun, anyone who wants laws enforced is an enemy of the obambiworld.
    so it’s Dubya’s fault? I will accept the fact that a report was being written in Duby’s admin sure that is their job, fact remains it was TOTALLY rewritten to make it a black thing and all about obambi.

    I thought the term “military ammunition” was intersting considering obambi admin just tried to force DOD to shred shells and not sell to reloaders ( it failed ). Wonder what all THEY consider to be mil ammo….

    I do not imply it is ‘Bush’s fault’. My point is the genisis of this report was probably not the product of someone in the current admistration, but the previous adminstration. Thus attributing this to some Obanma-cabal against conservatives is not correct.

    When my father worked for the government/military, his job was to evaluate reports from subordinates. One morning I saw one with enough paperclips on pages to turn the report into a fan. I asked why the paperclips. His response was that the writer had made assumptions which he then used as a fact to prove a statement which was then used in the summary as a statement of fact. Someone up the chain of command can’t read, can’t write and can’t think. We were assured that the best and brightest would apply to DHS to protect our country.

    If standing up for the Constitution makes me an enemy of the Federal Government, then I’ll wear that as a badge of honor. Apparently, King George (the President) his “Noblemen” (Congress) and their back-pocket Gods (the Supreme Court) are annoyed with us. May we become much more of an annoyance, yea, even a feared enemy… and I’d have said the same thing if that sell-out McCain had been elected.

    (U) A recent example of the potential violence associated with a rise in rightwing
    extremism may be found in the shooting deaths of three police officers in
    Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on 4 April 2009. The alleged gunman’s reaction
    reportedly was influenced by his racist ideology and belief in antigovernment
    conspiracy theories related to gun confiscations, citizen detention camps, and a
    Jewish-controlled “one world government.”

    I’m with you, and the guy that said if we sacrifice liberty for security we deserve neither.

    I didn’t see much coverage of the earlier Missouri Fusion Center memo, but since that was directed primarily at conservative third parties, I guess it wasn’t a threat to the “real” Republicans. The government seems to have acted a little prematurely. They haven’t quite splintered us enough yet. Almost though!

    And the only reason the librarian didn’t go to jail is because the courts still had some semblance of conservatism left. The fact that the government has the right to even ask is almost unfathomable to me.

    Living in a world where the Libertarians are starting to sound saner than the GOP is bizarre.

    If DHS ability to do a threat analysis is this shoddy and obtuse, what are they any good for. It’s like having a “no fly” list with two million names on it.

    We have people who mean to kill us. When DHS is off chasing us extremists, we leave gaps in the wire and the bad guys come in.

    The people who gave you the USS Cole, Kobar Towers, the first World Trade Center bombing, while they were focused on pouring over 900 FBI files in the White House trying to find enemies of the Administration are back. But this time radical socialaists are providing the direction.

    (U) Perceived Threat from Rise of Other Countries
    (U//FOUO) Rightwing extremist paranoia of foreign regimes could escalate or be
    magnified in the event of an economic crisis or military confrontation, harkening back to
    the “New World Order” conspiracy theories of the 1990s. The dissolution of Communist
    countries in Eastern Europe and the end of the Soviet Union in the 1990s led some
    rightwing extremists to believe that a “New World Order” would bring about a world
    government that would usurp the sovereignty of the United States and its Constitution,
    thus infringing upon their liberty. The dynamics in 2009 are somewhat similar, as other
    countries, including China, India, and Russia, as well as some smaller, oil-producing
    states, are experiencing a rise in economic power and influence

    UNREAL.

    Debates over appropriate immigration levels and enforcement policy generally fall within the realm of protected political speech under the First Amendment but in some cases, anti-immigration or strident pro-enforcement fervor has been directed against specific groups and has the potential to turn violent. …

    I can’t wait to see their definition of “generally”. Specifically, what specific groups are they talking about? What specific examples of violent threats are they seeing?

    Experts say that anyone who drinks milk as a child, or rebels against vegetables has the “potential” to turn “strident” and “violent”.

    Anti-Semitic extremists attribute these losses to a deliberate conspiracy conducted by a cabal of Jewish “financial elites.”

    Wait, you mean that all those people who rant about “neo-cons” are right wingers? Who knew!
