DHS-funded Consortium Warns Sovereign Citizens Number One Domestic Terror Threat

FBI tops list as number one instigator of terror threats

The National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START), a University of Maryland project funded by the Department of Homeland Security, has designated the so-called sovereign citizen movement as the number one domestic terrorist threat in America.

Sovereign citizens do not constitute a cohesive movement, although the government characterizes them as such. The Southern Poverty Law Center estimates around 100,000 Americans were “hard-core sovereign believers” in 2010 and an additional 200,000 were “just starting out by testing sovereign techniques for resisting everything from speeding tickets to drug charges.”

The SPLC works with the DHS to formulate the terrorist threat posed by citizens allegedly belonging to the sovereign citizen movement.

According to a report by issued by START last month, “sovereign citizens were the top concern of law sovereign enforcement” and ranked ahead of neo-Nazis, the KKK, the patriot movement, and other “idiosyncratic sectarians,” including survivalists, all who allegedly pose a threat to the police and the state according to a survey conducted by the Homeland Security funded organization.

Believing that you actually have rights that are supposedly guaranteed in writing (GOD given rights, not anything generously handed out by mere men) is the NUMBER ONE "terrorist" threat???
Challenging authority is now terrorist behavior? Our country was built by free individuals who didn't like being told what to do, how to live, where to go, and who to worship. My, how times have changed. EXACTLY like Thomas Jefferson said they would....
Now, go look up what he said "we, the people" should do about it...
I think we can now see what they have been so busily preparing for.....billions of bullets, armored vehicles for tiny towns, coordination of police and military in civil suppression, total surveillance, and on and on and on...
The bad news for them?
A lot of us have also been getting ready..

The #1 terror threat in America today is the Democratic National Communist party! "You can keep your lies and deception!
Never vote Democrat in any election!"

The #1 terror threat in America is the continued separation of the American people.. Republicans are disconnected from Democrats.. Conservatives disconnected from Liberals.. Rich from Poor... Black from White.. Old from Young..etc..
