Video: Obama Admin Is Preparing To Take Out Conservative Americans

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Military veterans consistently poll as identifying themselves as conservative, which in Obama’s world equates into “right wing extremists.” In fact, the Left has lumped everyone into this category who doesn’t swallow Obama’s big government crisis management mode of government—which tends to mean nullifying the Constitution and/or spurning Congress.

But when Obama’s big government plans start calling for “universal background checks” and bans on “assault weapons,” those who are students of history know what is next: totalitarianism. And despots need an enemy. Hitler had the Jews, and Obama has conservatives.

Some will cry conspiracy theory; and up until perhaps a year ago, I would have joined in handing out tin foil hats. But just this week, the Obama administration sent out a slew of letters to “disabled” veterans, telling them to turn in their guns. The Department of Homeland Security produced a ten-minute video on how to recognize domestic terrorists. Did any of these “domestic terrorists” hail from the Middle East or North Africa, as one would normally expect given their track record? Or were they likened to the domestic terrorist par excellence, the Fort Hood Shooter, Nidal Hasan? Oh, wait a minute. That was “workplace violence” according to the Obama administration. So what did these potential domestic terrorists look like in the DHS “training” video? All middle class, all white. Must have just been a coincidence.

How exactly did the DHS come to the conclusion that white, middle class American citizens were the enemy? Well, the government did what the government does best— commission a study. A little known sub-department within the DHS called the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism—START, for short— published “Hot Spots of Terrorism and Other Crimes in the United States.” Who should we be worried about per START? Those who are “reverent of individual liberty.” Those who are “suspicious of centralized federal authority.” Those who believe there is a “grave threat to national sovereignty and/or personal liberty.”

Kind of sounds like those who identify themselves as part of the Tea Party movement.

This is no joke, America. Barack Obama and his Marxist minions are coming after conservative America with a vengeance.

      Obama and his Ministry of Unnatural Acts have handlers who tell Obama what to say and do. Rise to the occasion to identify and neutralize his handlers, starting with the Democrat party central who knew who Obama was and pushed his candidacy. Freemasonry figures heavily. Their boss, or ‘Grand Patron’, is the queen of England, who needs the U.S. as a colony to support her pathologically self-centered indulgences.

    • skyguy66

      Why is everyone blaming Obama for this, when it was the Republicans under Bushie that put together and vote for the framework that has all these “conservatives” freaked out now? Where were you from 2001 through 2008?

      How can the lemmings that voted for this man not see the writing on the wall???? Why is he still sitting on his rosebud in the oval office? what are the GOP doing about this matter? When is there going to be 1 just one person in the corrupt Media that will expose all the skull duggery that is going on?

      Remind the group that Sovereign Citizens is one of the MCJA mandatory
      training topics for calendar year 2012. The material covered will be
      addressed towards the patrol officer who will probably be the first individual
      of authority to make contact with a member of the Sovereign Citizen
      movement. The basic belief of the Sovereign Citizen is that our government
      is ‘illegal’ and they will not respect or adhere to any laws or authority
      figures, specifically law enforcement officers, judges, taxing agencies, and
      politically elected officials. The Sovereign Citizens see these individuals as
      mere agents of a fraudulent and oppressive government.

      1.12.1
      Definition:
      Domestic Terrorism –
      groups or individuals
      operating entirely inside the
      US, attempting to influence
      the government or
      population to effect political
      or social change by
      engaging in criminal
      activity.
      I. Introduction
      A. Introduction
      B. Credentials
      C. Goals and Objectives
      D. Attention Grabber
      Ask class/audience:
      How many of you really feel that the government is
      working in your best interest?
      Do you really feel that your elected officials do what
      is best for you and the country?
      When you vote, do you really think you made a
      difference?
      When asked the above questions, many state ‘no’. Many of us
      will not act out against the government because we feel this way
      however the Sovereign Citizens are inclined to act out, some
      violently, because they feel this way. They reject the notion of US
      Citizenship and the responsibilities associated with being a US
      citizen.
      II. Sovereign Citizen Defined
      A person whose belief and actions are anti-government and
      rejects the notion of U.S. citizenship. They claim to follow
      only God’s laws and the amendments found in the original
      Bill of Rights. Members have said that by force or by peace, a
      government overhaul will happen. The FBI considers the
      sovereign movement one the nation’s top domestic terrorist
      threats.
      Bill of Rights
      The collective name for the first ten amendments to the
      United States Constitution.
      Maine Criminal Justice Academy
      Lesson Plan Outline
      These limit the power of the U.S. Federal government in the
      areas of:
      Freedom of religion
      Freedom of speech, or of the press
      Right of people to assemble peaceably
      The right to keep and bare arms
      The right of the people against unreasonable searches, seizures
      The right against self-incrimination.
      Also Known As
      Sovereign Citizens are also known as:
      1. “Common Law Citizens”
      2. “Freemen” – representing freedom of government control.
      3. “Constitutionalists”
      4. “Posse Comitatus”
      5. “Preamble Citizens”
      III. History of the Sovereign Citizen Movement
      1970s and-1980’s Posse Comitatus – an anti-government,
      extremist group blended with KKK and other radical, antigovernment
      groups.
      .
      This group existed for well over a decade
      1983 – After a Posse adherent killed two US Marshals, the
      movement largely faded. The groundwork however for
      following anti-government groups was laid.
      1990s – (early/mid) Membership in anti-government militias,
      white supremacist and other radical groups grew.
      1990s – (late) Groups developed “Redemption Theory”
      A claim that federal government used citizens as collateral
      against foreign debt. .
      2008- A resurgence of the movement.

      Efficiency of Internet to spread radical ideas
      Cyclical
      Anytime the economy is down, you see a resurgence of
      people blaming the government for what goes wrong.
      IV. Sovereign Citizen Beliefs
      1. An individual is a government unto himself
      2. No government can control an individual without that
      person’s direct permission.
      3. A person has a right to reside in country, yet not be under
      control of the government.
      4. Income tax is illegal
      5. The county is the highest form of government
      6. The Sheriff is the only law enforcement recognized since
      he is elected by the people.
      When a belief system motivates its members to commit
      violent acts, it becomes a law enforcement problem. The
      majority of Sovereign Citizens (estimated at 97%) are not
      dangerous however the other 3 % can be VERY violent. They
      see violence as the only way to bring about the change they
      believe in. They disconnect from government, they are
      frustrated with the government not looking out for their best
      interest and are frustrated with figures of authority. They live
      and believe this day after day and begin to think – if a law
      enforcement officer stops me today- today may be the day I’ll
      kill him.
      Do NOT underestimate these individuals. They will kill or
      be killed for what they believe!
      V. Threats to Law Enforcement
      Physical threats
      Since 1990, 51 law enforcement officers have been
      killed in 38 incidents in which at least one of the suspects was a
      right-wing criminal extremist. 95% of 38 officer incidents since 1990
      involved local or state law enforcement

      Maine Criminal Justice Academy
      Lesson Plan Outline
      Outline of instructional Unit Objectives & Notes
      Contact may be associated with normal law enforcement operations:
      1. Traffic stops
      2. Protection orders
      3. Warrant service
      4. Domestic disturbances
      VI. Organizational Structure of the Sovereign Citizen Movement
      Sovereign Citizens are diffused throughout the country.
      They are a loosely organized collection of groups/individuals
      Estimated membership is between 100,000 and 300,000.
      No one person is known to be the leader of the movement
      VII. Encountering Sovereigns
      Law Enforcement is encountering Sovereigns in every part of
      the country – squatting in abandoned houses, driving with
      strangely worded driver’s licenses and fake registrations,
      resisting arrest, creating their own currency, duping clients with
      empty promises of discharging tax debts or fighting
      foreclosures.
      Other Illegal activities use by Sovereign Citizens include:
      1. Hold illegal courts that issue warrants for judges and police
      officers
      2. Clogging up the courts with frivolous lawsuits
      3. File bogus liens against public official to harass them
      4. Commit murder and physical assault
      5. Threaten judges, government personnel, and law
      enforcement officials
      6. Impersonate police officers and diplomats
      7. Print, sell, and use fake currency, passports, license plates
      and driver’s licenses
      8. Engineer various white-collar scams, including mortgage
      frauds
      9. Filing bogus tax returns claiming they are owed money.
      10. Conduct seminars across the country and selling DVDs to
      individuals providing instruction on how to accomplish the
      1.12.5
      1.12.6

      Outline of instructional Unit Objectives & Notes
      above activities.
      Vacant/Abandoned Property
      In California a group of sovereign citizens simply moved into
      unoccupied properties and posted notices that declared the
      seized houses to be a sovereign republic, threatening violence
      against anyone who entered.
      Posted signs read:
      “Private Property of sovereign Woman of the republic and
      California”
      “Do Not Disturb Individuals who have possession of the
      property”
      “All federal and state employees attempting to visit will be
      treated as trespassers and face the wrath of the occupants and
      their right to ‘Self Preservation – Right to repel Force by Force
      – Self Defense – Justifiable Homicide.”
      VIII. Encountering Sovereigns Citizens at Traffic Stops
      Some Sovereign Citizens ‘advertise’ the fact that they belong to
      this group.
      Bogus vehicle registration plates on a vehicle may have the
      wording:
      1. ‘Republic of Texas’
      2. ‘Kingdom of Heaven’
      3. ‘Alabama republic’
      4. ‘Motorized Conveyance Registration
      5. ‘Moorish Nation’/ ‘Washitaw’
      6. Sovereign, Christian Citizen’
      7. ‘Sui Juris’ (Latin for ‘of one’s own law’)
      8. ‘Ambassador’ or ‘Diplomat’
      9. US DOT
      Think of this next time
      you are checking a
      building.
      Maine Criminal Justice Academy
      Lesson Plan Outline
      Outline of instructional Unit Objectives & Notes
      All of the above registration are well made and may not be
      detected as bogus with a quick glance. Closer examination will
      indicate to an officer that they are not legitimate. These
      registration plates are sold by the Sovereigns as a way to raise
      money.
      Additional Vehicle Markings
      Decals (or homemade signs) are sometimes found on member’s
      vehicles:
      1 ‘ DO NOT STOP, DO NOT DETAIN’
      2. An upside-down American flag in the center of the front
      windshield.
      3. “168 to 1” (Oklahoma bombing victims to suspect)
      IX. Sovereign Citizen Statements at Traffic Stops/other Contacts
      A Sovereign citizen may make odd statements during
      contact such as:
      1. “I am a free man traveling upon the land”
      2. May cite various UCC codes
      3. May question your authority as an officer
      4. Use conveyance, machinery, road machine, personal
      use recreational vehicle (instead of car, vehicle,
      motor vehicle)
      5. Guests, friends, family (instead of passengers)
      6. Traveling, journeying, moving (instead of driving,
      operating, transporting)
      7. Public right of way (instead of road or street)
      8. Abode, living, domicile (instead of residence)
      9. Inhabitant, Non-Resident, Non-Domestic (instead of
      resident)
      10. Non-Commercial (instead of public).
      Weapons
      Sovereigns are known to like guns. Especially those that can
      easily be converted to full-automatic. The rule of thumb is that
      there at least two in every vehicle. If a sovereign is encountered
      outside of the vehicle, the rule of thumb is that each is carrying
      1.12.7
      1.12.8
      1.12.9
      Maine Criminal Justice Academy
      Lesson Plan Outline
      Outline of instructional Unit Objectives & Notes
      at a minimum one handgun and one edge weapon.
      Sovereign citizens are often confused with extremists from the
      militia movement. But while some sovereign citizens
      sometimes use or buy weapons, guns are secondary to their
      anti-government, anti-tax beliefs. On the other hand, guns and
      paramilitary training are paramount to militia groups.
      Backup
      If you suspect that the vehicle you are about to stop may be
      operated by a sovereign citizen- CALL FOR BACKUP!
      Do not stop the suspect vehicle until backup is on scene. The
      backup officer should be positioned at a tactically correct
      position with long gun at the ready.
      X. Tactics that may indicate affiliation as a Sovereign Citizen at a
      Traffic Stop:
      1. May roll down their window just enough to be heard
      2. May refuse to cooperate and exercise right to remain silent
      3. When asked for driver’s license may ask is that a request or
      a demand.
      4. May provide strange responses to law enforcement questions
      that do not make sense. Example, when asked to present a
      license, they may reply, “no, not personally.”
      5. May claim not to have a driver’s license, and may present
      a homemade form of ID.
      6. May claim that it is unconstitutional to require individuals to
      have a driver’s license and obey traffic laws.
      7. If an official state driver’s license is presented, they may
      claim that the person in the picture is not them. They may
      further claim that the person in the picture is not human, but
      a non-breathing extraterrestrial.
      8. If asked to provide a Social Security number for
      identification, they may claim that the request is an invasion
      of their privacy and/or a violation of their rights.
      9. When signing law enforcement documents, they may write
      “under duress” beneath their signatures or cite various
      1.12.10
      Even a ‘minor’ traffic stop
      challenges the ideology of
      the Sovereigns and can
      escalate to a violent
      encounter.

      Lesson Plan Outline
      Outline of instructional Unit Objectives & Notes
      Uniform Commercial Codes
      XI. Sovereign Tactics at Traffic Stops.
      1. Distract the officer with paperwork
      2. Claim the officer has no authority or is out of jurisdiction
      3. Will claim that the vehicle belongs to a church (RED FLAG)
      4. Identify self as an official of the state
      5. Being uncooperative
      6. Concealing loaded weapons
      7. Asserting that the law does not require them to have
      necessary documentation of license, title and
      registration
      8. Film (video or audio record) interaction (may later be posted
      to the Internet); this may be covertly or overtly done during the
      stop.
      9. Demand official produce an oath of office
      10. Rapidly exit vehicle and approach officer in an agitated
      state.
      XII. Law Enforcement Request at every Traffic Stop
      As a matter of practice, every law enforcement officer, at every
      traffic stop, request three items of each operator:
      1. Operator’s license (issued by a state governmental entity).
      2. The vehicle registration (issued by a state government)
      3. A current and active insurance card for that vehicle
      4. You, the officer control the stop
      XIII. Law Enforcement Focus
      1. Officer safety. Maintain focus on situational safety
      2. Maintain professional bearing
      3. Apply enforcement as appropriate
      4. Full name, address and dates of birth of all vehicle occupants
      5. Record sovereign, national affiliation, if provided
      6. Where coming from and where going
      7. Any details regarding visible contents of vehicle.
      8. Pay close attention to detail. Things are not always as they

      seem.
      9. Be thorough. The smallest bit of information can make a
      difference.
      10. Know and follow your department policies and procedures
      11. Conduct searches & seizures falling within your legal
      authority.
      12. Advise your supervisor of the contact – request to scene if
      at all possible
      13. Avoid legal arguments
      14. Prepare detailed notes.
      15. Secure your dash-cam recordings
      16. Share information. Information not shared is intelligence
      diminished. (See also section XVII Reporting).
      XIV. Paper Terrorism
      The following are examples of tactics used by groups to clog
      the courts and harass their intended victims:
      1. Liens
      While filing a false document is illegal, once it’s
      discovered it can’t simply be torn up and discarded. Every lien,
      valid or not, becomes part of a property’s permanent record. If
      the filer refuses to withdraw it voluntary, only a subsequent
      legal document can validate it. This is at a great financial
      expense. The filing itself usually accomplishes the schemer’s
      goal of making a public official’s life miserable to setting up an
      attempt to extort money in exchange for removing the lien.
      Once a lien is recorded property cannot be sold even though the
      lien is bogus.
      2. IRS Form 8300
      This form is used to report payments over $10,000.00 in
      a trade or business transaction. Fraudulent submission of the
      form by a sovereign citizen can result in an artificial increase in
      the taxable income of the target being reported to the IRS

      3. Lawsuits
      Sovereign citizens may file lawsuits against law
      enforcement or members of the court in their individual
      capacity seeking civil remedies for alleged violations of their
      constitutional rights.
      4. Currency Transaction Reports (CTR)
      Used legitimately by financial institutions in an effort to
      combat money laundering, sovereigns may improperly use
      FinCEN form 104 to report a target to trigger an investigation.
      XV. Impersonating Law Enforcement Officers
      Two Sovereign Citizen groups, the Civil Rights Task
      Force and the Constitution Rangers have created fictitious law
      enforcement agencies complete with fake identification cards,
      badges, and even raid jackets.
      The ability to custom order badges and uniforms
      through mail-order catalogs and on-line make this process very
      easy.
      Other names found on badges/fake ID cards:
      1. “Investigator – Civil Rights Task Force”
      2. “Agent – Civil Rights Task Police”
      3. “Special United States Marshals”
      4. “Sovereign Citizen World Guard”
      5. “Sovereign Cop Watch.”
      Both the badges and identification cards appear very
      authentic looking and may intimidate someone not familiar with
      these groups.
      Members of the Civil Rights Task Force have advocated
      what they term “reverse intimidation,” interrogating the spouses
      of law enforcement officers who have had dealings with the
      group’s members.

      XVI. Protecting Yourself and Your Family
      As law enforcement conducts surveillance of extremists groups,
      so too do members of these anti-government groups conduct countersurveillance.
      The following may minimize your exposure to this
      activity:
      1. If you wear a uniform to/from work, cover with a jacket/shirt
      2. Be aware of your surroundings at ALL times
      3. Be mindful that you may be photographed/videotaped
      entering/exiting the station, entering/exiting your cruiser, and
      while on duty
      4. Remind family members NEVER to accept a badge as
      identification of law enforcement. If something doesn’t seem
      right, its probably not!
      5. Check frequently with County Clerk to determine if a false
      lien may have been filed against your property especially if
      you have had a bad encounter with a Sovereign
      6. Act professionally and ethically at all times
      7 Minimize self-exposure on social media sites
      8. Check your free credit reports annually for accuracy.

      XVIII. Conclusion
      Although the Sovereign Citizen movement does not
      always rise to violence, its members’ illegal activities and past
      violence – including fatal incidents against law enforcement
      make it a group that should be approached with knowledge and
      caution. It is important that law enforcement be aware of
      sovereign citizens’ tactics, scams and other illegal activity and
      understand its potential severity, and be prepared for and
      against violent behavior or backlash through intimidation and
      harassment.
      With high unemployment, foreclosures of homes, the
      high cost if fuel and the growing consensus that the government
      is doing nothing to help, membership in the sovereign citizen
      movement is growing. The preparedness of law enforcement
      should be not IF I encounter a sovereign citizen but WHEN I
      encounter a sovereign citizen will I be prepared?
