hey're carrying out sporadic terror attacks on police, have threatened attacks on government buildings and reject government authority.
A new intelligence assessment, circulated by the Department of Homeland Security this month and reviewed by CNN, focuses on the domestic terror threat from right-wing sovereign citizen extremists and comes as the Obama administration holds a White House conference to focus efforts to fight violent extremism.
Some federal and local law enforcement groups view the domestic terror threat from sovereign citizen groups as equal to -- and in some cases greater than -- the threat from foreign Islamic terror groups, such as ISIS, that garner more public attention.
The Homeland Security report, produced in coordination with the FBI, counts 24 violent sovereign citizen-related attacks across the U.S. since 2010.
The government says these are extremists who believe that they can ignore laws and that their individual rights are under attack in routine daily instances such as a traffic stop or being required to obey a court order.
They've lashed out against authority in incidents such as one in 2012, in which a father and son were accused of engaging in a shootout with police in Louisiana, in a confrontation that began with an officer pulling them over for a traffic violation. Two officers were killed and several others wounded in the confrontation. The men were sovereign citizen extremists who claimed police had no authority over them.
Among the findings from the Homeland Security intelligence assessment: " (Sovereign citizen) violence during 2015 will occur most frequently during routine law enforcement encounters at a suspect's home, during enforcement stops and at government offices."
DHS has documented examples of violence by sovereign citizen extremists since 2010. They range from incidents that occurred in the home and at traffic stops to attacks on government buildings. The report adds that "law enforcement officers will remain the primary target of (sovereign citizen) violence over the next year due to their role in physically enforcing laws and regulations."
The White House has fended off criticism in recent days for its reluctance to say the words "Islamist extremism," even as the conference this week almost entirely focused on helping imams and community groups to counteract the lure of groups like ISIS.
Absent from the White House conference is any focus on the domestic terror threat posed by sovereign citizens, militias and other anti-government terrorists that have carried out multiple attacks in recent years.
An administration official says the White House is focused on the threat from all terrorists, including from sovereign citizen and other domestic groups.

An official at the Justice Department, which is leading the administration's counter-radicalization effort, says many of the tactics aimed at thwarting radical Islamic recruitment of young people can also be used to fight anti- government extremist groups.
While groups like ISIS and al Qaeda garner the most attention, for many local cops, the danger is closer to home.
A survey last year of state and local law enforcement officers listed sovereign citizen terrorists, ahead of foreign Islamists, and domestic militia groups as the top domestic terror threat.
The survey was part of a study produced by the University of Maryland's National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism.
In 2013, a man who held anti-government views carried out a shooting attack on three Transportation Security Administration employees at Los Angeles International Airport, killing one TSA officer. Last year, a couple killed two police officers and a bystander at a Las Vegas Walmart store.

EXPAND IMAGE Mark Potok, senior fellow at the Southern Poverty Law Center, said that by some estimates, there are as many as 300,000 people involved in some way with sovereign citizen extremism. Perhaps 100,000 people form a core of the movement, he said.
The federal government's focus on the domestic groups waxes and wanes, Potok said, in part because the threat from foreign groups like al Qaeda and its affiliates.
Potok says sovereign citizen groups have attracted support because of poor economic conditions. Some groups travel the country pitching their ideology as a way to help homeowners escape foreclosure or get out of debt, by simply ignoring the courts and bankruptcy law.
The Homeland Security report's focus on right-wing terrorists is a subject that garnered political controversy for the Obama administration in the past. In 2009, a Homeland Security report on possible recruitment of military veterans by right-wing militia groups prompted an outcry from veterans groups.
The report was produced by staff members during the Bush administration but wasn't published until then Homeland Security Janet Napolitano had taken office. Napolitano criticized her own agency for the report. (1 image)

DHS Intelligence Report Warns Of Domestic Right-wing Terror Threat
Right. The DHS is developing a public relations crusade indicating that the real threat to the nation is US using 24 red dots scattered throughout a map of fifty states as evidence. God save us from what these bristling idiots are taught to accept in DHS school and then turned loose in SWAT uniforms.
(But Rubio says they are indespensible.)

Law Enforcement is always the target. They obviously made government too big, they wrote all those grey are laws and drug laws people don't like. They raised taxes, created a 18 trillion debt and printed bailout money.
Them bastards.

Rubio also referred to Adolf 0dinga as "a patriot." This phony is a Trojan horse Dem and globalist.

LE is being sold out by DHS and fedgub. Increasingly, they are psychologically squeezed between being more careful and having more power. They'll also be asked to enforce petty laws (like single cigarette sales), and act as politicians' de facto mob enforcers. The day they figure it all out is the day they walk, or are summarily replaced like the military brass.

Bobby Kennedy was nobody I'd care to quote. There are no secrets within that family. He knew his brother was shipping of bags of money to a leading mafia figure to get presidential primaries thrown in his favor. A little later Bobby ran on a platform of being tough on organized crime. He wasn't. The Kennedys were among the biggest and most successful crime families in America.

Regardless how libtard he was, its a spot on assessment. I'm a firm believer in "reaping what you sow". If a community acts like animals... they might find their community is a zoo. With cages and zoo handlers.

Use of the word libtard is inappropriate. They ran a successful and smooth criminal empire.

Well, since the danger from both is as close to nothing as you can statistically get, I agree.

Florida became 'hotbed' for sovereign citizens, whom FBI calls domestic terrorists.

This is such BS!...... the DHS (sic) is trying an "end around" to stifle "we the people" as they continue their corruption our America.

From the standpoint of the criminals in the Executive Branch led by Emperor Zero, "right-wing" extremists (to the extent they even exist) ARE a bigger threat.
After all, ISIS only murders Christians, non-radical Muslims, Jews, cartoonists and satirists.
These strawmen right-wingers, however, threaten the very Elite Ruling Class.
THEY MUST BE CONTROLLED!

The Bush crime family laughed at the Kennedy's. Then they had them killed.

From google
Giuliani: I wasn't questioning President Obama's patriotism www.nbc15.com/.../Giuliani-I-wasnt-que.. . 2 days ago - Marco Rubio says he has "no doubt" that Obama loves the country ... He says he's sure Obama's "a patriot," but that he never hears Obama talk about "how much he loves America. Sorry for broken link, phone not cooperating.
#20. To: Stoner (#18)
My bad. Rubio didn't say "patriot." But he did say, "I believe the president loves America," which is basically the same thing. Rubio then followed up his fecklessness by dinging 0bongo thusly: "His ideas are bad.”

They're carrying out sporadic terror attacks on police,have threatened attacks on government buildings
and reject government authority.
One out of three isn't to bad, for we do indeed reject the authority of this corrupt government of the last 110 plus years.
