Senior officials with the U.S. Department of Justice recently announced possible legal changes which could allow the government greater room to combat so-called “anti-government extremists”.
FIRST – PLEASE SHARE THIS POST WITH EVERYONE YOU KNOW!
THE INFORMATION COVERED IS GOING TO BE EXTREMELY DISTURBING TO SOME…
HOWEVER PEOPLE MUST KNOW WHAT IS COMING DURING OBAMA’S LAST YEAR (ALLEGEDLY) IN OFFICE!
These first four paragraphs are intended to set the tone so I don’t lose anyone’s attention along the way. What you are about to read goes fifty steps beyond offensive, it is treasonous, and it will rattle you to your core, because what you are about to read is precisely how insane we’ve allowed this country to go. Anyone who did not support Ammon Bundy and Co. prior to reading this, will probably strike a different tune after the first four paragraphs. The criteria listed below is the behavior that could get you locked up, and the key thrown away forever, so I suggest you pay attention.
As you’ll see, the article below begins by talking about how on February 4, Reuters reported that John Carlin, the Justice Department’s chief of national security, and federal prosecutors are looking for new tools to deal with the rise of “domestic extremists.” If you are reading this, then I presume you already know you know you MUST be prepared in advance for what Obama has planned for his “last year,” and in order to be prepared you MUST have information, starting with what Obama considers a “domestic terrorist.” Platitudes and bumper stickers will NOT suffice, not if you love your family.

In a 2012 Department of Defense training manual, obtained by Judicial Watch via a FOIA request, Obama’s DHS, the same DHS that has an arsenal of 12 BILLION HOLLOW POINT BULLETS I might add, has defined a “domestic extremist” as:
“Americans who are ‘reverent of individual liberty,’ and ‘suspicious of centralized federal authority’ are possible ‘extreme right-wing’ terrorists.
The document linked above also lists people who embrace “individual liberties” and honor “states’ rights,” among other characteristics, as potential “extremists” who are likely to be members of “hate groups.”
Finally, the document goes on to call the Founding Fathers, “extremists.”
As if that isn’t the absolute WORST thing you've ever read, it actually gets WORSE. John Carlin, and the Justice Department team working on these new guidelines for “domestic extremists,” are ANOTHER one of Obama’s UNELECTED, SECRET team of people working on identifying which Americans should be deemed “domestic extremists,” and what should happen to them once designated.
Save the whining about Impeachment, or how it’s all unconstitutional for someone who cares. I know that. You know that. We all know that, but when we’re staring down the barrels of 10 DHS gun barrels loaded with hollow point bullets, what is LEGAL, or what is CONSTITUTIONAL, depends on who has the most men and guns with the hollow point bullets, and odds are, that won’t be you.
So, now that I have your attention, the rest of this post details when we know….
Derrick Broze at Activist Post Writes:
On Thursday February 4, Reuters reported that John Carlin, the Justice Department’s chief of national security, and federal prosecutors are looking for new tools to deal with the rise of “domestic extremists.”
“Based on recent reports and the cases we are seeing, it seems like we’re in a heightened environment,” Carlin told Reuters. Reuters notes that the U.S. government is facing an increase in opposition from militia groups, “sovereign citizens,” and other “anti-government extremists.”
However, federal officials like Carlin claim they are impeded in their pursuit of violent domestic terrorists because, although there is currently a U.S. law that prohibits “material” support of internationally recognized terror groups, there is not such a law for domestic groups. Reuters reports:
Carlin and other Justice Department officials declined to say if they would ask Congress for a comparable domestic extremist statute, or comment on what other changes they might pursue to toughen the fight against anti-government extremists.
The U.S. State Department designates international terrorist organizations to which it is illegal to provide “material support.” No domestic groups have that designation, helping to create a disparity in charges faced by international extremist suspects compared to domestic ones.

Carlin told Reuters that his counter-terrorism team is taking a “thoughtful look at the nature and scope of the domestic terrorism threat” and looking for “potential legal improvements and enhancements to better combat those threats.” The Justice Department will identify cases being prosecuted at the state level that “could arguably meet the federal definition of domestic terrorism.”
Carlin and his team are not only remaining quiet about whether or not they are pursuing the legal changes but the entire team has not been revealed to the public. This means we have an unelected, secret team of people working on identifying which Americans should be deemed “domestic extremists.”
Will Freedom Activists be Targeted?
Carlin’s silence should alarm all activists who consider themselves opposed to the policies of the U.S. government. Not only are those who espouse anti-government or pro-freedom rhetoric likely to be targeted but the penalty for being a part of such a group, or supporting such a group could eventually mean years in prison. Current laws allow for a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison for Americans who support groups on the State Department list of designated terrorist organizations.
Under a 1994 law federal prosecutors could attempt to bring “material support” terrorism charges against people who are linked to groups not on the State Department’s list but this has only happened twice since the law was enacted. If the Justice Department creates a list of groups that are deemed extremist or terrorist this could lead to stifling of free speech and expression.
Part of the problem is the broad definition of “extremism” itself. As far as the pursuit and defense against “extremism” is concerned, the United States government has failed to adequately define the term, and by doing so, is allowing for perfectly legal behavior to become taboo or even criminalized.
CASE AND POINT:
POSE A THREAT TO NATIONAL SECURITY: RADICAL EXTREMISTS
NO DANGER: EXERCISING THEIR RIGHT TO ASSEMBLE
In June 2014, TruthInMedia’s Jay Syrmopoulos wrote about this trend:
First there was the MIAC report, which claimed that potential terrorists include people who own gold, Ron Paul supporters, libertarians, and even people who fly the U.S. flag.
Then in 2012, there was a leaked Homeland Security study that claimed Americans who are ‘reverent of individual liberty,’ and ‘suspicious of centralized federal authority’ are possible ‘extreme right-wing’ terrorists.
More recently, there is a Department of Defense training manual, obtained by Judicial Watch via a FOIA request, that lists people who embrace “individual liberties” and honor “states’ rights,” among other characteristics, as potential “extremists” who are likely to be members of “hate groups.”
This document goes on to call the Founding Fathers extremists, stating, “In U.S. history, there are many examples of extremist ideologies and movements,“ including “[t]he colonists who sought to free themselves from British rule.”
If the United States government cannot clearly define who it is targeting in its war on extremism how are the people supposed to trust that these programs will not simply be used to target outspoken activists and critics of the government?
A Domestic War on “Extremism”
These possible legal changes are only the latest effort to combat “extremism” by the Justice Department. In October 2015 Anti Media reported that the United Nations and the Department of Justice announced the creation of a new program designed to help local communities combat “violent extremism.” Called the Strong Cities Network (SCN), the plan calls for “systematic efforts” to “share experiences, pool resources and build a community of cities to inspire local action on a global scale.”
U.S. Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch said, “The Strong Cities Network will serve as a vital tool to strengthen capacity-building and improve collaboration,”and will “enable cities to learn from one another, to develop best practices and to build social cohesion and community resilience here at home and around the world.”

HOLD ON!
WHAT IS THIS “STRONG CITIES NETWORK?”
The Strong Cities Network is ANOTHER Obama Abomination with no constitutional grounding. Zero. To refresh your memories, in October 2015 Anti Media reported that:
“The United Nations and the Department of Justice announced the creation of a new program designed to help local communities combat “violent extremism.” Called the Strong Cities Network (SCN), the plan calls for “systematic efforts” to “share experiences, pool resources and build a community of cities to inspire local action on a global scale.”
IN PLAIN ENGLISH:
THIS IS OBAMA’S ILLEGAL GLOBAL POLICE FORCE… AND THEY ARE HERE!
In the video below, YouTuber Professor Doom, points out the “possible” connection between ANOTHER recent UN vehicle spotting and a series of job postings with the U.N. located in America in which the United Nations sought “US-based disarmament, demobilization and reintegration specialists.” First, the video:
UN on US Soil
You want to know why the UN is here? It’s not that hard to figure out. The following is a paraphrased version of Pamella Gellar’s article from Breitbart on October 20th with many of my own remarks interjected:
In October, Attorney General Loretta Lynch announced at the United Nations that her office would be working in several American cities to form what she called the Strong Cities Network (SCN), a law enforcement initiative that would encompass the globe. This amounts to nothing less than the overriding of American laws, up to and including the United States Constitution, in favor of United Nations laws that would henceforth be implemented in the United States itself – without any consultation of Congress at all.
THERE IS NOTHING REMOTELY LEGAL ABOUT THAT.
ADD THAT TO THE LIST OF LAWS BROKEN BY OBAMA.
The United Nations is a sharia-compliant world body, and Obama, speaking there just days ago, insisted that “violent extremism” is not exclusive to Islam (which it is). Obama is redefining jihad terror to include everyone but the jihadists. So will the UN, driven largely by the Sharia-enforcing Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and the pro-Islamic post-American President Obama, use a “global police force” to crush counter-jihad forces?
As Mac Slavo wrote in June 2014, “A recent job posting at the United Nations website suggests that the organization is not only working to get guns out of the hands of American citizens, they are actively preparing personnel to assist in what they call “disarmament, demobilization and reintegration” activities.” SEE THE AD BELOW:
“And if that’s not bad enough, the duty station for this key U.N. Peacekeeping Operations department is New York city, suggesting that the organization believes such operations may be commencing in the United States at some point in the future.”
Professor Doom also brought up the possible connection between this sighting and another recent United Nations vehicle that was spotted driving on a U.S. highway with a brown paper bag partially covering up the UN logo on the side of the truck. There have been many, many cases where people have spotted U.N. trucks, and almost as if to announce their guilt, the U.N. logos are covered up in a real half-ass way. Also, as I detail in the post titled, U.N. Troops Have Been Conducting Massive Military Exercises Domestically With U.S. Military for a while now. WHY?

What can the U.N. POSSIBLY help the United States with? Furthermore, when was the last time you’ve EVER, and I mean EVER, heard of U.N. troops somewhere that violence wasn’t already breaking out, or that they were not there to prevent? That means things are out of control, or about to be. It also likely means Obama plans to issue orders U.N. troops he knows our own military would never obey against their countrymen! How the hell did we lose our country like this, and make no mistake… it’s gone. Many of us have been warning for years about Obama's intentions, but people seem all to eager to avoid facts…

To recap, as the United Nations openly pushes for the complete disarmament of the American people, more and more suspicious UN activities are being reported across the country, with some even believing that they indicate a near future martial law event.
Freedom Outpost writes:
To many Americans, this is alarming because we know one of the stated goals of the U.N. is to disarm America and merge her into the one world government envisioned by the global elite. Our own government has also signed onto the U.N. Small Arms Treaty, and while it has not been ratified by the US Senate it seems the U.N., and those advocating for world governance, are intent on seeing through with its implementation. While many on the left would scoff at any conservative being concerned about such a thing it should be noted that the treaty contains language authorizing the U.N. to disarm opposing factions in times of crisis. If you can't see by now that this crisis is being intentionally fabricated by the left, using the classic Hegelian "problem, reaction, solution" formula, then there is little hope for you.
Again, many people in America actually believe the U.N. should be the head of a world governing body, and that America should give up a little of her sovereignty in order to make things more fair in the world. More specifically, these people are for outright gun confiscation and believe that confiscating guns from law abiding American citizens is the only way to end gun violence.
(For people who yet don't believe the U.N. intends on forcing gun confiscation upon us, I suggest you check out this job posting listed by the U.N. Perhaps you should pay special attention to the part about people from foreign militaries and police forces having preference.)
What I find the most astonishing is that we have people in this country calling for gun control at a time when our government should be telling us to remain vigilant and perhaps even calling us to arms. The Middle East is set to become the next holocaust, and with our borders wide open amidst the current immigration crisis, we are virtually sitting ducks as these Islamofascists are vowing to bring their reign of terror here. I say thank God for the Second Amendment! Unfortunately, it seems as if our own government and other anti-gun groups, would rather see good people defenseless in the face of such violence. In fact, this brings me to the whole point of this article. There are people out there who do not believe that self-defense is an inherent human right. A 2006 U.N. human rights council report, written by a Barbara Frey, refuses to acknowledge that human beings have a right to keep arms for self-defense. Furthermore, the U.N. is claiming that governments that don't impose severe restrictions on the rights of individuals to own firearms are guilty of human rights violations.
What the hell is going on in this country? With each passing day it becomes more and more obvious why the Pentagon Says It’s Preparing For Huge Civil Unrest in U.S. (Videos). With each passing day it seems like the National Guard’s That Have Being Called in to Various States to Block Obama’s Syrian Refugees will end up being used, and thus ignite the civil war Obama has longed for. Crazy talk? “Radical Right-Wing” loon stuff? Hardly.
If nothing has woken the American people yet, nothing will, not until shots are fired, and blood fills the streets. It’s not that I want that! I’m terrified of that, but LOOK at the facts around you everywhere, and YOU tell ME how this is all going to play out with a happy ending. Please… tell me… we can even assume our economy isn’t about to be wiped off the map if you want… I still don’t see a path that doesn’t end horribly.
FIRST, IF YOU’RE NOT ASKING WHY THE U.N. IS HERE, AND THEIR PRESENCE SITS PERFECTLY WELL WITH YOU…
THEN YOU’RE AN IMBECILE, AND FRANKLY I’LL PRAY FOR YOUR FAMILY…
TELL YOUR DOCTOR THE LOBOTOMY WORKED!
SO, THAT IS YOUR STRONG CITIES NETWORK GARBAGE!!!!!

“To counter violent extremism we need determined action at all levels of governance,” said Governing Mayor Stian Berger Røsland of Oslo. “To succeed, we must coordinate our efforts and cooperate across borders.”
The creation of the Smart Cities Network comes after the Justice Department announced it would revive a task force on domestic terrorism in an attempt to stop violence within the United States. In June 2014, former Attorney General Eric Holder stated the Domestic Terrorism Executive Committee would work to eliminate dangers from violent individuals who may be motivated by anti-government or racist views. The Federal Bureau of Investigation, the National Security Division of the Justice Department, and the Attorney General’s Advisory Committee are in charge of the efforts. The committee was originally launched to focus on right-wing extremism in the aftermath of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing.
As Americans slowly awaken to the truth of the American Empire, the powers that wish they were are scrambling to tighten their control grid. If the American public will not be subdued and distracted by elections or deadstream media bread and circuses, the Ruling Class will have to resort to more direct methods of stifling freedom. This presents the perfect opportunity for those living amongst the zombies to organize and strategize for solutions that do not rely on government or their corporate partners.
A FEW MORE THINGS TO CLEAR UP…
Once Obama has determined who will, and who won’t be considered a domestic extremist, then there is the matter of how he plans to deal with them. For a moment, let’s forget the whole rounding up process. Obama has laid the groundwork for a massive civil war if need be, but let’s just assume everyone goes into detainment for being a “domestic extremist” voluntarily.
LISTEN TO WHAT OBAMA PLANS…

Ok, pretend is over now. The reality is for Obama to begin rounding up all these “domestic extremists,” it’s going to retire force. Most of them are armed too. Unfortunately for Obama, a few years ago a 2010 Pentagon directive leaked to the Washington Times, making it very clear that Obama has no problems with declaring Martial Law, and no problem using the military on the U.S. citizens. That article can be found below:
The Washington Times reports: A 2010 Pentagon directive on military support to civilian authorities details what critics say is a troubling policy that envisions the Obama administration’s potential use of military force against Americans.
The directive contains noncontroversial provisions on support to civilian fire and emergency services, special events and the domestic use of the Army Corps of Engineers.
The troubling aspect of the directive outlines presidential authority for the use of military arms and forces, including unarmed drones, in operations against domestic unrest.
“This appears to be the latest step in the administration’s decision to use force within the United States against its citizens,” said a defense official opposed to the directive.
Directive No. 3025.18, “Defense Support of Civil Authorities,” was issued Dec. 29, 2010, and states that U.S. commanders “are provided emergency authority under this directive.”
“Federal military forces shall not be used to quell civil disturbances unless specifically authorized by the president in accordance with applicable law or permitted under emergency authority,” the directive states.
“In these circumstances, those federal military commanders have the authority, in extraordinary emergency circumstances where prior authorization by the president is impossible and duly constituted local authorities are unable to control the situation, to engage temporarily in activities that are necessary to quell large-scale, unexpected civil disturbances” under two conditions.
The conditions include military support needed “to prevent significant loss of life or wanton destruction of property and are necessary to restore governmental function and public order.” A second use is when federal, state and local authorities “are unable or decline to provide adequate protection for federal property or federal governmental functions.”
“Federal action, including the use of federal military forces, is authorized when necessary to protect the federal property or functions,” the directive states.
Military assistance can include loans of arms, ammunition, vessels and aircraft. The directive states clearly that it is for engaging civilians during times of unrest.
Unfortunately for Obama (or for the citizens I should say), is we used to have this law which has stood for 137 years “pre-Obama,” called The Posse Comitatus Act (18 USC 1385). On the surface, the Posse Comitatus Act (18 USC 1385) act should prevent the Army from deploying the troops in the midst of a protest that is not on the scale of something like the 1992 LA Riots.
Unfortunately, not only did Obama nullify the Posse Comitatus Act, he also updated the Pentagon’s “Law of War” Manual, which now allows for not only the shooting of unarmed civilians who are protesting (actual legal statute below), but his revisions also give the military the ability to shoot journalists on site. First check out the video, then the rest is detailed below:

Dave Hodges of the Common Sense Show points very specifically to the code I just mentioned. There is no ”CONSPIRACY THEORY” here, this is the UNITED STATES CODE!
On the surface, the Posse Comitatus Act (18 USC 1385) act should prevent the Army from deploying the troops in the midst of a protest that is not on the scale of something like the 1992 LA Riots. However, the Army claims exemption from Posse Comitatus in the four following areas.
10 USC 331. When a state is unable to control domestic violence and they have requested federal assistance, the use of the militia or Armed Forces is authorized.
10 USC 332. When ordinary enforcement means are unworkable due to unlawful obstructions or rebellion against the authority of the United States, use of the militia or Armed Forces is authorized.
10 USC 333. When a state cannot or will not protect the constitutional rights of the citizens, due to domestic violence or conspiracy to hinder execution of State or Federal law, the use of the militia or Armed Forces is authorized.
House Joint Resolution 1292. This resolution directs all departments of the U.S. government, upon request of the Secret Service, to assist in carrying out its statutory duties to protect government officials and major political candidates from physical harm.
With regard to 10 USC 331, if the local authorities have lost control in the midst of a profound display of domestic violence (e.g. LA Riots), most Americans support the use of National Guard or the military. However, in 10 USC 332, 333 and House Joint Resolution 1292 are ripe with exceptions which open the door to federal authorities abusing the public for exercising their Constitutional right to protest.
In 10 USC 332, the phrase “unlawful obstructions or rebellion against the authority of the United States, use of the militia or Armed Forces is authorized,” permits the federal government from being demonstrated against. An act of demonstration, or the most benign demonstrations of civil disobedience gives the government the authority to take “deadly action” against the public because there are no clear distinctions on when the use of lethal and nonlethal force is appropriate.
In 10 USC 333, any disruption of federal law can be decisively dealt with by the federal government. The phrase “…conspiracy to hinder execution of State or Federal law, the use of the militia or Armed Forces is authorized” is a telling passage of this Army document.
My personal favorite is the party about peaceful protestors protesting the government can be ventilated:
“An act of demonstration, or the most benign demonstrations of civil disobedience gives the government the authority to take “deadly action” against the public because there are no clear distinctions on when the use of lethal and nonlethal force is appropriate.”
Yell “Conspiracy Theorist” all you want. The actual law can be read with your own two eyes in the Unites States Code… LOOK IT UP! (10 U.S. Code § 332)

CONSPIRACY WHAT NOW?
YOU WERE SAYING?
NaturalNews writes:
Can journalists be considered enemies of U.S. and allied military forces? Absolutely, the Pentagon has declared in a thick, new instruction manual for waging war the "legal" way, and they can thus be targeted.
According to The Washington Times, journalists can also be terrorists, the 1,176-page Department of Defense Law of War Manual states. The book is designed to provide commanders with correct and incorrect ways of killing an enemy of the United States.
The manual says it is okay to shoot, explode, bomb, stab or cut the enemy; surprise attacks and killing retreating troops is permitted as well, though U.S. forces cannot employ poison gases.
The new manual is the first comprehensive, all-in-one legal guide for all four military branches; for decades, the services each had issued their own guides for air, sea and land warfare conduct.
The Obama-era document brushes aside the prior Bush Aadministrations label of "unlawful enemy combatant" for terrorist organizations like al Qaeda in favor of a new term: "unprivileged belligerent."
SPIES HAVE OFTEN POSED AS JOURNALISTS:
But one notable section of the new manual pertains to a definition of journalists and how they are expected to stay out of any fighting.
"In general, journalists are civilians," the manual says, as cited by the Times. "However, journalists may be members of the armed forces, persons authorized to accompany the armed forces, or unprivileged belligerents."
Grouping terrorist journals with those from bona fide news outlets and agencies led one officer to describe the paragraph as "odd." And one civilian lawyer who discusses war crimes cases labeled the wording "an odd and provocative thing for them to write."
Michael Rubin, a Middle East expert at the American Enterprise Institute, told the paper that the manual reflects today's sometimes confusing world of journalism.
"It's a realization that not everyone abides by the same standards we do," Rubin said. "Just as Hamas uses United Nations schools as weapons depots and Iran uses charity workers for surveillance, many terrorist groups use journalists as cover."
Over the decades of the Cold War, Warsaw Pact nations and the Soviet Union often posed undercover KGB and intelligence operatives as journalists. In one infamous case, as reported by the UK's Telegraph, then-KGB operative Vladimir Putin, now the Russian president, was photographed posing as a tourist during a visit to the Soviet Union in 1988 by then-President Ronald Reagan. Putin, the paper reported, was part of a group of "tourists" who asked Reagan pointed questions about the U.S. human rights record.
The Times noted that Rubin recalled a pair of al Qaeda terrorists posed as journalists to assassinate Taliban leader Ahmad Sha Massoud. Also, Chechen Islamists went on missions with camera crews in tow.
“JOURNALISTS CAN BE COMBATANTS, TOO”
EVEN BLOGS.. OH GOOD!
