The Ghost Knight Rides Through A Nightmare

I've finally had a chance to go through the entire "rightwing extremism" document. Talk about a grim shade wandering through a broken land. The entire paper is vague, shadowy, and distracting, passing from one fog to another in a deliberate and deceptive manner. It is at once insulting and laughable, focusing not on fact or even any specific target, but rather off-the-cuff speculation and over-generalization. So let's have a look, shall we?

First of all, the document, 10 pages of dreck, was prepared by the Extremism and Radicalization Branch, Homeland Environment Threat Analysis Division section of the Office of Intelligence and Analysis of the Department of Homeland Security, in coordination with the Federal Bureau of Investigation. All of that sounds to me like someone found a pack of Hussein flunkies that were still waiting for their payoff, so they gave them a converted broom closet in the basement and told them to get high and come up with bad shit to say about Conservative America, and to ask the feds for a few faxes to make it look "official". Granted, that might be off the mark, but I'm betting not by much.

Also, at the bottom of page 2, it says very plainly that the document is "to be controlled...and is not to be released to the public, the media, or other personnel who do not have a valid need-to-know...". Further, that certain sections, marked "LES" are not to be distributed at all, because "Release of this information could adversely affect or jeopardize investigative activities." Oops. Looks like someone took one hit to many from the bong and forgot to lock his desk. I wonder if that guy is now looking for a stimulus handout?

Before moving on, here's a little guide to the alphabet soup that is used in the document:

U = unclassified
FOUO = for official use only
LES = Law Enforcement Sensitive

Sections of the document are marked variously; where appropriate I'll give the jumble. Bold type is from the actual document; regular type is my two cents, which is all any of us will have left if Hussein gets his way.


The heading of the document:

(U//FOUO) Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment. Gee, I wonder why? Could it be that in less than 100 days Hussein has done more to screw this country that any man in history? He's spending money like some punk street dealer, and inviting the real hard-case criminals in through the front door and letting them steal or destroy everything in sight. But hey, just because the boogeyman is getting liquored up while stealing the silver is no reason for people to get upset. Nanny State will make it all better.

Which leads me to an interesting aside: a nanny is a female goat. Hussein is a closet goat-screwer and has plenty of like-minded pals who screw their goats in public. Nanny State...goat-love...coincidence?

(U) Scope. The scope of the document is no big deal. We're going to look at a few things, try to understand why people are getting wacky, that kind of thing. Fairly standard stuff. But turn the page and the madness starts...

(U) Key Findings
(U//LES) The DHS/Office of Intelligence and Analysis (I&A) has no specific information (stress added) that domestic rightwing terrorists are currently planning acts of violence...


So nothing is really going on and they haven't heard anything from anybody, but they're doing things that are pissing A LOT of people off, so they need to snoop around and find out how many people are how pissed off. They accuse the domestic rightwing terrorists (DRWT) of playing on people's fears, yet that is exactly what Hussein is doing: creating fear to exploit.

(U//LES) Threats...have been largely rhetorical...

Once again, nothing to really worry about. So what about focusing more attention on the credible threats in the world, the "Live and On Stage" ones: the goat-lovers, the Norks, the Red Chinks, pirates, illegals, drug cartels, the ridiculously large, violent, and diverse black and hispanic gangs in league with the drug cartels, the rap and hip/hop industry that does more than anything other than Islam to dehumanize and objectify women, the resurgence of disco, and broccoli? I say get those...somewhat less vague, shall we say...problems under control first, then worry about the "largely rhetorical" ones.

(U//LES) Rightwing extremists have capitalized on the election of the first African American president, and are focusing their efforts to recruit new members, mobilize existing supporters, and broaden their scope and appeal through propaganda...

There's no doubt that there are people in this country that aren't happy a black guy is in the White House. But for the vast majority of conservatives, the color of Hussein's skin has nothing to do with why we're angry. It's his gross ineptness, lack of experience, kowtowing to known, avowed, and loud enemies of America, and his growing megalomania that have us out of sorts. The DHS/IA/ERB is careful to point out, however, that the DRWT have not yet turned to attack planning. Well, maybe not yet, but I imagine that any self-respecting DRWT would, unlike the Hussein administration, actually think shit out before forming a plan. Haven't the Left read Sun Tzu?

Sorry. That was a really dumb question. Didn't think that shit out at all.

(U//FOUO) The current economic and political climate has some similarities to the 1990's when rightwing extremism experienced resurgence fueled largely by an economic recession, criticism about the outsourcing of jobs, and the perceived threat to U.S. power and sovereignty by other foreign powers.

Well, at least this bit is true. It's true that Hussein is trying to mess up America just like Slick Willy did, only he's doing a better job. A recession created by the the idiotic fiscal policies of Clinton, the continuing outsourcing of jobs because of the anti-capitalist stance of the socialist Left that handcuff the very business practices that made this country great, and the threats to US sovereignty made possible by the gutting of the American intelligence capabilities done under Clinton and the gun-banning, globalist wonks of the Soros empire. Can't imagine why hard-working, patriotic Americans are so upset.

(U//FOUO) The possible passage of new restrictions on firearms and the return of military veterans facing significant challenges reintegrating into their communities could lead to the potential emergence of terrorist groups or lone wolf extremists capable of carrying out violent attacks.

The DHS thinks people will get mad if the government takes away our guns. What's to think about? People WILL get mad; I know I will. There are over 20,000 gun laws on the books; we don't need more. We need to enforce what we have, and even pare down the list: the majority of the laws are grossly unconstitutional. The 2ND Amendment guarantees Free Americans the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. Period. That means we can own and carry guns, but in many places, especially my home state, citizens cannot. The laws are already harsh enough. Making them harsher is going to cause problems of a loud and high velocity sort.

The slight on veterans I just don't get. I understand that Hussein's administration doesn't care a whit for our armed forces, but this is beyond even that pale. Most veterans DON'T have problems reintegrating into society, and the ones that do have places to get help, until Hussein stops funding the VA hospitals. But because of a very few that have gone around the bend, all veterans are lumped into the "potential terrorist" pool.
The DHS secretary has since backtracked on this assessment, but not in any meaningful way. She said that she was sorry that veterans were offended, but did not apologize for the content of the report. Sounds like she assigning value judgements to me, and that's not nice. I know because the liberals said so. But they're full of shit, so there you go. I can say this: a friend of mine, a disabled vet I'll call Ranger Steve, had a few choice words on this particular subject, but I'm afraid to type them because they might cause my computer to melt into a bubbling pile of plastic glop, and then how would I play fantasy football?

The next bit, a footnote on the page, is very choice, and by choice I mean vague and distracting in a really pathetic way:

* (U) Rightwing extremism in the United States can be broadly divided into those groups, movements, and adherents that are primarily hate-orientated (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.

So, in short, DRWT can be some or all of a large selection of possible groups that may or may not have a beef with some or all of the government or some or all of a large cross-section of society, but they may also be guys who are just really zipped about one thing but otherwise peachy.

You know that some half-whatever ACLU lawyer spent an entire week billing the taxpayer overtime hours in order to word this exactly right, trying to cast the biggest net with the least amount of effort. The ACLU can go to hell, by the way, which is the same as saying "ACLU Go Home!"

(U//FOUO) Proposed imposition of firearms restrictions and weapons bans likely would attract new members into the ranks of rightwing extremist groups...

It sure would. Because that would mean that the Hussein administration is trying to disarm the populace in order to enslave it. That idea really melts a lot of people's ice cream, mine included, and I really dig ice cream.

(U//FOUO) DHS/I&A is concerned that rightwing extremists will attempt to recruit and radicalize returning veterans in order to boost their violent capabilities.

Well, I already think returning veterans are radical in the nifty and cool sort of way. They keep the ragheads on their own turf and not mine, a policy of which I am a big fan. And again, according to Ranger Steve, the best recruiting tool the extremists have is tooling around in Air Force One. Hussein is doing a lot of their legwork for them, so if he would just keep his huge pie-hole shut and quit fucking with people's constitutional rights, he might save the glue-sniffers who write reports like this one some paperwork.


Well, it's...holy shit it's 4 AM. I'm tired and need to stop thinking about marxist asshats for a while. Part II on the morrow.
