DHS Concludes They Have Authority to Monitor Political Activities of Advocacy Groups

[upstatecajun]

Does this include us DU???????

In March 2006, the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Federal Protective Service (FPS) issued a “Protective Intelligence Bulletin” from the “Intelligence Branch” of its “Threat Management Division.” The bulletin contained a “Civil Activists and Extremists Action Calendar” that identified dozens of peaceful advocacy groups and provided the details for over 70 demonstrations, almost entirely peace, environmental and social justice rallies and marches. With the exception of a single entry referring to a radio host’s call for “militant, pro-White rallies,” there was not a single item suggesting that criminal activity or violence was expected at any of these events.

6. At a point in time when many of us saw the

Video of the explosion at the nuclear reactor, and while reports surface that there are possibly two other nuke plants facing meltdowns, DHS should be handing out iodine tablets.

In a well run world, that is what would be happening.

Not only are they not doing that, I doubt they would bother to do that even if we were in really serious and confirmed danger.

Their only purview seems to be to intimidate us and make us uncomfortable as we take off our shoes and have our body parts scanned at the airports.

In fact, right after, Nine Eleven, people found out the hard way that there are only 300,000 units of iodine tablets available for sale in the USA at any given point in time.

This agency is useless, except as yet another venue for people to offer for profit merchandise like scanning equipment to.

8. There is a much more "target rich" environment in organized religion, corporations, the

uber-wealthy, and inside government agencies particularly DoD and intelligence agencies.

The Patriot Act should be 100% repealed.

One can dream.

Speaking of which, the term "homeland" is a term used by dictators/tyrants to describe their nations.
