The Real 2012 Doomsday: U.S. Falls To Tyranny: "...one device that has already made a military debut in Afghanistan... will likely become commonplace for domestic crowd control as law enforcement agencies throughout the country become increasingly militarized. The Active Denial System, which is described as a 'long range, directed energy, vehicle mounted system that projects an invisible electromagnetic millimeter-wave energy beam beyond small arms range,' can be used as a non-lethal way to create extreme discomfort and quell group dissent....
"The bill gives the President the ability to indefinitely detain terror suspects, but this comes at a time when the lines of what constitutes 'terror' are becoming increasingly blurry. ...Obama has made it clear that anyone who rejects his agenda is considered a 'right-wing domestic terrorist.' How long will it take for Federal government to decide it necessary to carry out al-Awlaki style executions on those deemed 'domestic terrorists."51.6% of U.S. Immigration Officers Say Agency Policy Favors Immigration Over National Security: "A majority of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) officers under the Obama administration believe that their agency’s policy favors the promotion of immigration over national security, according to a 2011 survey conducted by the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) inspector general."
Homeland Security Monitors Journalists: "According to the Department of Homeland Security’s own definition of personal identifiable information, or PII, such data could consist of any intellect 'that permits the identity of an individual to be directly or indirectly inferred, including any information which is linked or linkable to that individual.'"

Turning Schoolchildren Into Informants? "The same anti-family policy apparently is becoming a policy of the United States government. And just like in the Soviet Union, it will implemented through the government schools. Last week, the White House revealed a broad new strategy for 'battling homegrown terrorism.' ...it will include all levels of government, including local governments and agencies. ...schools will now become 'battleground America,' a place for gathering information.....
"'Prevent,' of course, is a word of the vocabulary of the Soviet Union of the times of Stalin, when 'enemy infiltration' was 'prevented' by a wide-scale system of informants, spies, and infiltrators who will look for 'behavioral signals.' ...the children will be encouraged to spy and inform on their parents.” See Your friendly community spies
Muslim Brotherhood Front Group Trains Airport Screeners: "The Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) has completed training for 2,200 Transportation Safety Officers (TSOs) at the Los Angeles International Airport..
Homeland Security teams up with Walmart for safety: "Walmart will join the Department of Homeland Security in a program called 'If You See Something, Say Something' which encourages the American public to take an active role in ensuring the safety and security of the nation, DHS said Monday."

Angry homosexual activist behind WikiLeaks treachery: "The US Army intelligence analyst who has been arrested for disclosing more than more than 90,000 intelligence reports and more than 150,000 diplomatic cables to the Wikileaks website is a homosexual activist enraged at the military's 'anti-gay' policies. The massive publication of top-secret documents has been called one of the greatest security breeches in US history and has reportedly endangered the lives of US personnel around the world."
November 2010
TSA's nude scans would miss taped-on bombs: "A new peer-reviewed scientific study says the backscatter full-body imaging X-ray machines being used by the federal Transportation Security Administration could be fooled by terrorists who simply would mold explosives to conform to their bodies.... Brennan has cautioned that it is 'quite likely' that radiation from screening machines...will cause cancer, especially among high-risk groups that include frequent fliers and children." See Homeland Security and the transformation of America
L.A. sheriff invites Muslim 'radicals' to cop workshop: "An upcoming Los Angeles conference designed to combat Islamic 'radicalization' features a pair of 'radical' Muslim leaders who have openly supported terrorists....It's slated as the 'Radicalization Conference 2010: Radicalization and Homegrown Violent Extremism.' The controversial guest Muslim speakers... are leaders of the Muslim Public Affairs Council. ...critics charge it is a 'propaganda arm' for the radical Muslim Brotherhood in America." See Homeland Security and the transformation of America
Pennsylvania Homeland Security office engaged in domestic surveillance: "...the homeland security office or its private consultant were doing more than just monitoring law-abiding citizens. They were comparing environmental activists to Al-Qaeda. They were tracking down protesters and grilling their parents. They were seeking a network of citizen spies....
"Internal e-mails from the Homeland Security office reveal a determined effort to recruit local people receiving its intelligence bulletins — municipal police chiefs, county sheriffs, local emergency management personnel — into its network of citizen spies. The goal was to get those locals to start feeding information to the Institute of Terrorism Research and Response, a private 'intelligence' contractor working with the state’s Homeland Security office....The contractor argued that even though groups are non-violent, they can conduct 'demonstrations and campaigns that can close down a facility and embarrass a company.'” See Homeland Security and the Transformation of America
October 2010
Napolitano swears in backer of al-Qaida hero: "Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has sworn in a member of her agency's Advisory Council who is a strong supporter of the radical Islamist theologian who calls for 'war' with the non-Muslim world and whose teachings inspired and continues to govern al-Qaida and Islamic terrorist organizations worldwide. Mohamed Elibiary....fervently endorses the teachings of Egyptian writer Sayyid Qutb, who is widely considered the father of the modern Islamic terrorist revolution....Qutb declared, 'There is only one place on earth which can be called the home of Islam (Dar-ul-Islam), and it is that place where the Islamic state is established and the Shariah is the authority and God's [Allah's] limits are observed.'"
Fort Hood soldier ordered to delete rampage video: "A U.S. soldier who captured a deadly 2009 rampage at Fort Hood with his cellphone camera testified Friday that he was ordered to erase the video by his commanders. The video could have provided key evidence at the trial of Major Nidal Hasan, a U.S. army psychiatrist who faces 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted murder."

September 2010
Obama: We Can "Absorb" Another 9-11: "Basically, Europeans say to America 'get over it. Grow up. Welcome to reality.' But Americans refuse to accept the idea that random death and massive violence are inevitable concomitants of the modern world. We demand that government emphatically reject this as a norm and... stop it from happening....
"The practical consequences of such an outlook are profoundly disturbing. ...the Obama comments indicate a cold and inhuman view of the likelihood of 3,000 new deaths.... Can the mothers, fathers, wives, husbands and children of the dead 'absorb' the attack as easily? ... This is chilling stuff indeed." See Homeland Security and the Transformation of America

Your friendly community spiesExposing “Top Secret America”: “'The government has built a national security and intelligence system so big, so complex and so hard to manage, no one really knows if it’s fulfilling its most important purpose: keeping its citizens safe,' the Washington Post website says in its section on 'Top Secret America."

Homeland Security and the transformation of AmericaIdentifying Mideast Terrorism’s True Cause: "Obama made clear in issuing his national security guidelines earlier this year that no reference was to be made to 'Islam.' Although Islamic extremists use their religion as a vehicle for perpetrating violence upon non-Muslims and Muslims alike...Islam was not to be cited as a cause of such violence. In an effort not to offend...or to provide al Qaeda with fodder for claiming the U.S. is at war with Islam, the Obama Administration steers clear of linking terrorism and Islam." Apparently the same strategy applies to illegal immigrants:
U.S. Intelligence Grows Beyond Control: "Since the terror attacks of Sept. 11, top-secret intelligence gathering by the government has grown so unwieldy and expensive that no one really knows what it cost and how many people are involved. ...the Post said there are now more than 1,200 government organizations and more than 1,900 private companies working on counterterrorism, homeland security and intelligence in some 10,000 locations across the U.S. Some 854,000 people -- or nearly 1 1/2 times the number of people who live in Washington -- have top-secret security clearance."

See first two news items at Homeland SecurityU.S. should not deport Son-of-Hamas: "The U.S. Department of Homeland Security may soon deport Mosab back to the West Bank where he very well could be assassinated." Homeland Security and the transformation of America
U.S. trying to deport born-again 'Son of Hamas' as terrorist: "Yousef worked alongside his father, Sheik Hassan Yousef, in the West Bank city of al-Ghaniya near Ramallah while secretly embracing Christian faith and serving as one of the top spies for Israel's internal security arm. Yousef was recruited by Shin Bet in 1996 at the age of 18 while at an Israeli detention facility. Since publicly declaring his faith in August 2008, he has been condemned by an al-Qaida-affiliated group and disowned by his family....
"If Homeland Security cannot understand a simple story like mine, how can they be trusted with bigger issues?' he asked....'Exposing terrorist secrets and warning the world in my first book cost me everything,' he said. 'I am a traitor to my people [Hamas], disowned by my family, a man without a country. And now the country I came to for sanctuary is turning its back.'"
Homeland In-Security: "I have worn many hats in 32 years—Muslim, Christian, son of Hamas, Prisoner 823, spy, traitor, USAID administrator, businessman, best-selling author. Now I am Homeland Security File# A 088.... And, according to these 'highly trained' civil servants, I am a threat to America’s national security and must be deported....
"My concern is not about being deported. It is that I am being forced to stand and defend myself as a terrorist!... For what? For risking my life fighting terrorism in the Middle East for ten years? For saving the lives of Israelis, Palestinians and Americans?.... I believe that God is using this situation to expose the weaknesses of Homeland Security and to put pressure on it to make changes that can save lives and preserve freedom....
"It
began when I arrived in America January 2, 2007. I walked into the airport like
anyone else on a tourist visa. Seven months later, I went to the Homeland Security
office, knocked on their door and told them, 'Hey, guys, I am the son of Sheikh
Hassan Yousef, my father is involved in a terrorist organization, and I would
like political asylum in your country.' They were shocked.... I told them, hey,
you didn’t discover me. You didn’t catch me. I came to you and told you who
I am....
"I filed an application for political asylum. Not
surprisingly, on February 23, 2009, they told me that I was 'barred from
a grant of asylum.'... When they demanded evidence to support my claim
that I was not a terrorist or a security threat, I filed a draft of my book,
Son of Hamas. Surely this would make everything perfectly clear.... That
I tracked down terrorists and put them in prison. That I was an asset, not a
threat. But they didn’t get it...."

[From last July] Obama Appoints 2 Devout Muslims to Homeland Security Posts: "Obama has appointed Arif Alikhan a devout Sunni Muslim to assistant secretary for the Office of Policy Department of Homeland Security. Mr. Alikhan was instrumental in taking down the LA Police Department's plan to monitor it's Muslim community. Alikhan is affiliated with MPAC, the 'Muslim Public Affairs Council'. Founded in 1988.... MPAC's Senior Advisor, Maher Hathout, who has close ties to the Muslim Brotherhoodand espouses the radical brand of Islam known as Wahhabism, was invited to address the Democratic Convention in Los Angeles in 2000. ...[At] a ceremony held in Albuquerque, New Mexico, DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano swore-in ADC National Executive Director Kareem Shora as a member of the Homeland Security Advisory Council (HSAC)."
Obama: Nation not Defined by Our Borders: "This surreal regime just gets weirder and weirder.... Calderon blistered the Arizona law at that joint appearance at the White House and the next day before Congress, earning him a standing ovation from the Democrats....
"...the laws of Mexico allow the army and all law enforcement agencies to enforce their draconian immigration laws.... Even the Department of Homeland Security last week had to acknowledge the open border was a national security threat....This follows at least two busts of smuggling rings specializing in getting Somali terrorists into the U.S. In one such case, the federal prosecutor indicated that "hundreds" of trained terrorists had made it into the U.S. and could not be located.
Obama to cut NYC anti-terror funding even after Times Sq. bombing attempt: "The Obama administration will announce tomorrow it has slashed anti-terror funds for New York City, despite the attempted Times Square bombing less than two weeks ago that underscored the enormous threat to the city. The Department of Homeland Security informed New York officials yesterday that grants to the city were cut 27 percent for mass transit security and 25 percent for port security."

Home-grown, solo terrorists as bad as Al-Qaeda: FBI chief: "'Home-grown and lone-wolf extremists pose an equally serious threat,' the Federal Bureau of Investigation director said, citing the shootings at the sprawling Fort Hood army base in Texas. Experts have warned that a 'lone wolf' -- an extremist acting alone, without connections to an established network like Al-Qaeda -- may be the most difficult threat for authorities to thwart."
Former President Clinton: Tea Party OK, but anti-Obama rage may inspire another Oklahoma bombing: 'Former President Bill Clinton warned Friday that the anti-government fringe could provoke the kind of political extremism that preceded the Oklahoma City bombing.... Clinton said people have the right 'to advocate whatever the livin' Sam Hill they want to advocate' but they must observe 'the basic line dividing criticism from violence or its advocacy.'" See
Alinsky's Rules for Radicals Ponder the above Homeland Security report again, then read the next three quotes from last week. "Lone wolf" or not, some potential killers seem to have a more favorable status than others:Federal Agents Raid Christian Compound - Ignore Islamberg: "Federal agents raided a Michigan-based [referred to as] Christian militia after learning that members of the group - known as the Hutaree - may have been plotting to kill police officers. But the same agents have been unwilling to raid Islamberg and other compounds of Jamaat ul-Fuqra, where militant Muslims engage in paramilitary training for the great Jihad against Christians and Jews. These compounds are scattered throughout the United States.... Neighbors have lodged hundreds of complaints to local law enforcement officials about the rat-tat-tat of machine gun fire and the sounds of explosions coming from these sites but no intrepid federal or state agents have been willing to conduct investigations, let alone to make arrests."

The next two articles below show (1) the media misrepresentation of Biblical Christianity and (2) a rising government hostility toward those who appreciate American freedom. As background information, please read the HR quote near the top of this news page: Homeland Security.
Christian militia accused of plotting to kill cops: "Nine alleged members of a Christian militia group that was girding for battle with the Antichrist were charged Monday with plotting to kill a police officer and slaughter scores more by bombing the funeral — all in hopes of touching off an uprising against the U.S. government.... The arrests have dealt 'a severe blow to a dangerous organization that today stands accused of conspiring to levy war against the United States,' Attorney General Eric Holder said.
"Authorities said the arrests underscored the dangers of homegrown right-wing extremism of the sort seen in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing that killed 168 people."

The Enemy of the People: "History has shown that nothing crushes well-informed resistance faster than well-planned disinformation and false accusations. Nothing unifies a nation faster than a common enemy. Hitler knew those lessons well. He had watched the Bolshevik Revolution. His book, Mein Kampf, explains the winning strategies to any future revolutionary.Notice his insight into group psychology: 'The art of truly great popular leaders in all ages has consisted chiefly in not distracting the attention of the people, but concentrating always on a single adversary.... It is part of a great leader's genius to make even widely separated adversaries appear as if they belonged to one category, because... the recognition of various enemies all too easily marks the beginning of doubt of one's own rightness."

Terror reviews avoid word 'Islamist': "The 108-page Quadrennial Homeland Security Review... uses the term 'terrorist' a total of 66 times, 'al Qaeda' five times and 'violent extremism' or 'extremist' 14 times. It calls on the U.S. government to 'actively engage communities across the United States' to 'stop the spread of violent extremism.'...Yet in describing terrorist threats against the United States and the ideology that motivates terrorists, the review - like its sister document from the Pentagon, the Quadrennial Defense Review - does not use the words 'Islam,' 'Islamic' or 'Islamist' a single time....
"'To understand a threat and counter it, we must know our enemy,' said Ms. Collins, the ranking member of the Senate Homeland Security Committee. 'While there are other threats to our national security from other types of violent extremism, the gravest threat comes from Islamist extremists.'...
"Patrick Poole, a counterterrorism consultant to government and law enforcement agencies, said the documents reveal a 'culture of willful blindness...' within senior levels of government.'" See Homeland Security and the transformation of America
Cuts in Border Security in Proposed Budget: "While telling the American people that national security is a priority for the administration, the White House submitted a 2011 budget proposal that includes cuts to U.S. border security. The proposed budget cuts include a reduction in Border Patrol agents and a cut in the amount of money allocated for the so-called "virtual fence" on the U.S.-Mexico border....
"In the midst of a firestorm over Homeland Security Secretary Napolitano's failure to appear before a Congressional committee hearing, officials from her office confirmed the proposed cuts on Monday...
"'New York City has a police department that numbers well over 40,000 officers and another 10,000 civilian employees, yet the U.S. Border Patrol agents, who are responsible for thousands and thousands of miles of border, number only 20,000. And Obama wants to cut that number.'...
"The proposed budget cut also would eliminate $226 million that had been allocated for an electronic 'virtual fence' system along the border." See Homeland Security and the transformation of America

Illegal Haitian Immigrants Can Start Applying Thursday to Stay in U.S.: "Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Alejandro Mayorkas said Haitians will be able to start filing their applications for the Temporary Protected Status on Thursday.... Julie Bermane, 19, of Miami, said she has lived in the U.S. since she was 3 but because she was here illegally has been unable to go to college or get a job. 'There's a lot of things in my life that I want to do, but this stuff has been holding me back,' she said. If her application is granted, she said, 'I can go out and see the world.' The agency, part of the Department of Homeland Security, is expecting about 100,000 to 200,000 applications."
Video: Christian Identity Oriented Terrorists: Here Obama's TSA nominee shares some of his concerns. They sound like the warnings issued by Homeland Security last year. Keep in mind, "Christian Identity" is not Biblical Christianity, but this reference is likely to vilify faithful Christian believers as well. Could that be intentional? After all, those who take God's Word seriously cannot conform to the planned global solidarity.
And why this focus on "domestic terrorists" among the millions of peaceful Americans who resist killing unborn babies when our government refuses to put a stop to Islamic military training camps from coast to coast?
Video: Preventing Terrorism Within Our Military Forces: Retired Army three-star Gen. Jerry Boykin says: "Nobody wanted to deal with the fact that this guy was a terrorist.... His behavior and his rhetoric were both indications that he was subscribing to a Jihadist ideology.... He was a terrorist. That was a terrorist act.' Boykin said the Fort Hood massacre was the worst act of terrorism on U.S. soil since the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. "The mere fact that this guy was counseling and dealing with our soldiers who have been through the war in Iraq and Afghanistan is atrocious... Gen. Boykin spoke from personal experience after spending 36 years in the military. He was one of the original members of the Army's elite Delta Force..."
DHS plans to catch only one in four travelers committing ‘major’ criminal violations while entering U.S. on international flights in 2010: "In fiscal 2008... the department caught only 25 percent of those committing 'major violations' while entering the U.S. on international flights. It also planned to catch only 25% in fiscal 2009.... The 'major violations' that DHS believes 74 percent of perpetrators will get away with [in 2010]... involve 'serious criminal activity, including possession of narcotics, smuggling of prohibited products, human smuggling, weapons possession, fraudulent U.S. documents, and other offenses serious enough to result in arrest.'” Homeland Security Investigation: Illegal Workers On Elmendorf AFB in Alaska: "A contractor hired for a major construction project on Elmendorf Air Force Base broke both state and federal law.... 'I do not have a clue how a contractor was able to take these individuals onto a military base, constructing a building for one of our most sophisticated fighter planes.'... 'It's extremely disturbing that a contractor is able to, day after day for months on end, take undocumented workers and get them through security,' says Lewis..... When a contractor is allowed through fraudulent business practices, to come into Alaska and take jobs from Alaskans, its very detrimental to us....." See Homeland Security and the Transformation of America Report of 2nd man cuffed from Flight 253 confirmed U.S. Customs and Border official apologizes, reverses himself: "After several days of denying eyewitness reports of a second man from Northwest Flight 253 being arrested following the attempted Christmas Day bombing of the plane by a Nigerian passenger linked to al-Qaida, the chief U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer in the Detroit area has admitted another passenger was taken into custody."
