The Department of Homeland Security wants to use a million dollars of taxpayer money to set up a campaign that will encourage Internet users to spy on one another – targeting government critics.
It is to be called “see something-say something”. Just another Nazi campaign to steal the souls of American citizens. It will pit us against one another, and it will help the government to label innocent people terrorists.
But exactly what “indicators” will be outlined by the Department of Homeland Security are cause for concern.
In 2009, a 10-page DHS report entitled “Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment” claimed that “lone wolves and small terrorist cells embracing violent rightwing extremist ideology are the most dangerous domestic terrorism threat in the United States.”
The DHS description of right-wing extremism virtually underscored fears that the intent of the report was ultimately to target critics of the government:
Rightwing extremism in the United States can be broadly divided into those groups, movements, and adherents that are primarily hate-oriented (based on hatred of particular religious, racial or ethnic groups), and those that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration.
That report was heavily criticized for its focus on returning military veterans as particularly problematic, as they “possess combat skills and experience that are attractive to rightwing extremists.” But its claim that those who favor small government (not no government) are likely terrorists should have come under equally harsh condemnation.
