    Confirmed: No Supporting Evidence For DHS Rightwing Extremism Report 120809DHSA freedom of information act request has revealed that the Department of Homeland Security’s now infamous “rightwing extremism” report, released in April, was not based on any reliable supporting evidence whatsoever.

    According to the DHS, the report was compiled based purely on around 50 internet articles, the credibility of which is severely questionable.

    The revelation comes from the group Americans for Limited Government (ALG), which bills itself as an “independent, nonpartisan political movement that fights for hardworking taxpayers against the special interests that continually push for big government nationwide.”

    The group filed it’s FOIA request shortly after the release of the leaked security intelligence assessment which equated veterans and gun owners with violent terrorists.

    The document, entitled Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment (PDF link) characterized concerns about the economy, unemployment, the loss of U.S. sovereignty and the move towards global government as “rightwing extremist chatter on the Internet” which itself is defined as a potential tool for terrorists to network, build bombs, and send encrypted messages to each other.

    It also listed those opposed to abortion or immigration as potential extremists, and cited groups that reject federal authority in favor of state or local authority as potential sources of hate crime.

    ALG asked for all data, studies, reports and documents that had led the DHS to these conclusions.

    The shocking response from the DHS indicates that it undertook no statistical analysis at all, failed to conduct any interviews with the groups it went on to demonize and complied the report based purely on a scattering of web posts from some extremely dubious sources.

    “We expected to receive back some hard-core analysis, some data analysis, looking at crime statistics and current trends that would back up conclusions in the report,” said Nathan Mehrens, a news contributor to Americans for Limited Government and a former Labor Department official.

    “Instead what we got was a list of URLs to various Web sites, all kinds of news stories across the board,” Mehrens told FOX News.

    Amongst the 50 or so links provided by the DHS are news articles from the New York Times, Washington Post, LA Times and USA Today, along with a smattering of other media sources. These represent subjects including rising gun sales, the activity of minority white supremacist groups and speculation that economic woes will fuel more hate groups.

    More noteworthy is the fact that the DHS also cites substantial material from both the Anti Defamation League (ADL) and the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).

    How disgusting it is then that when it was leaked, these two politicized and establishment funded groups that masquerade as “civil rights” organisations, immediately pounced on the DHS report and used it to justify their materials and agendas.

    In the months that followed, they also returned to the report again and again to tie it in with incidents such as the tragic shooting at the Holocaust museum in Washington DC.

    It is no coincidence that the SPLC was also cited as a research source in the equally inflammatoryMissouri Information Analysis Center report, which characterized Ron Paul supporters as extremists.

    The news also comes in the wake of another sustained effort on behalf of the establishment media and the Southern Poverty Law Center to float the talking point that militia groups and worried gun owners are growing in the United States and that this could portend a violent act of domestic terror.

    Perhaps the most damning aspect of the revealed sources for the DHS “rightwinger” report, however, comes in the shape of 11 links to a website called “WhatDoesItMean”, which is a well known source of disinformation among the blogging community.

    The site acts as a dumping ground for legitimate news articles, but mixes them in with pure conjecture, unverified stories and plain lies on subjects as far reaching as extra-terrestrial aliens and imminent armageddon.

    For the DHS to cite this website far more than any other in order to substantiate its accusations against veterans and other so called “rightwing extremists” is an absolute joke.

    This pathetic list of links represents nothing more than a couple of hours of idle internet surfing and Google searches on behalf of the DHS. They have simply thrown together a series of barely related web posts in a ridiculous attempt to provide proof for their outrageous accusations where there is none.

    A tenth grader could have complied a more compelling source list.

    Here then we have proof definitive that this behemoth agency that was supposedly created to protect the United States from the ruthless terrorists hell bent on its destruction, spends its afternoons surfing the web, compiling useless lists of links in order to paint up everyday American citizens as extremist racist killers.

      Also, the .pdf file does not work anymore… And this was JUST posted correct?

      So.. I wonder what that really means? Censorship so quickly on Alex’s site? Or maybe just a broken link?

      I guess we’ll see if it gets repaired.

    2. Josh F. Says:

      It keeps deleting my comments..

      The .pdf file was REMOVED already.. either that or the link was broken.

      repair please? I’d like to read the information.

      I get a message that says, “Error! Document was encrypted. Legal restrictions prevent us from showing encrypted documents.”

      Isn’t that strange?

      Broken link? Or government intrusion into Alex’s site already?

      Yust a few words from a european reader of this site..

      The rapport has already done his damage, in the media in europe the link already has been made between rascisem en de militia’s. That means that when de nwo is going to do his next fals flagg opperation under the banners of the freedom organisations, the main stream public opinion wil already formed against you guys, not because of de main steam people beeing bad, but yust illinformed.

      I hope all you guys will choose to do the wise thing, the conflict at hand issent going to be won by force, you can only win it whit knowledge.
      Keep telling the people what you stand for, keep telling that officer of the law, that he and you are the same, educate them don’t fight whit strengt but whit brains.

      Ill clarify that last bit whit how de fema camps are going to be operated accoording to what i think makes sence.
      The only way they can get people to lock up other people is if they convince them that the second group of people is a danger to the first group of people(Divide et impera)
      One of the ways they can make this happen is when the h1n1 virus merges whit h5n1, the people who ar not vaccinated will be a threat to the people who are vaccinated. The people who are vaccinated apparently trust the goverment, so they will be the group that will incarcerate the people in the camps, dous this make them bad people? NO they are people who love here kids yust as much as you do, they yust have diffrent information that you do, an other system of evalution of the risks for there children.

      The people behind the nwo generaly don’t let people realy choose between right and wrong, the threat from the vaccinations is real, but so is the threat from the combination between the 2 virusses, or even the introduction of a next virus instead of waiting till avian and swine flu have mixed in asia.

      Fight them whit youre all youre heart, but use youre brains, plz

      Goodluck

      Leena Reply:

      The question is however, how do the unvaccinated threaten the vaccinated, if they’re vaccinated?? hmm…kind of a conundrum don’t you think?

      Perhaps the DHS was investigating…ITSELF! They found that the DHS is filled with returning veterins, Christians & patriots [of a sort] and that the DHS [including FEMA] was a clear and present threat to the nation. WELL, they couldn’t just come out and admit that they are a danger, so they did what weasel politicians have always done, they found scapegoats. “Pay no attention to the little man behind the curtain”, they bellow to confuse us.

      95% of our problems are because of the Federal Reserve. It’s the banking oligarchs that are pushing the healthcare austerity so they will have more money for derivatives speculation. We need to end the Fed. Webster Tarpley said as much the other day on AJ’s show.

      What do these so-called civil rights organisations have in common with the federal reserve banking cabal,the mass-media,hollywood and the thousands of other organisations that have worked for over 100yrs to tear this country apart? The snake has a head and its name is Rothchild! As far as using your brains and no violence, that worked real well for the sixty million Russians who were murdered by the same people, who NOW have us by the hair of the head with absolute power! Will they leave us in ruins and millions murdered like they left Europe?

      I think I dislike the politicians promoting this plan is because I am jealous.
      Why are there two separate rules for the rich and the poor??

      I thought this plan was supposed to be for everyone.
      So I am jealous that the politician has a free airplane,car,mail,security, and a tax free salary.
      And most of all, I am jealous that they have a separate plan.

      When they laugh and talk about the poor. They justify their actions that we are just jealous of them.

      I admit full guilt and you are right!!!
      And as long as you think it is O.K. to be rich and control our lives.
      You must admit we have a right to be jealous and resist your attempts.
      Neither is right but both exist.

      This attempt to label right wing extremism is just another step towards telling you who you can vote for.
      Any opposition is a extremist.

      The patriot movement is under attack. They are linking all liberty supporters with the Militia movement and treating militia movement like it is a KKK organization. First of all, the Militia movement has nothing to do with race hatred, it is about protecting liberties from being stolen and preventing us from going into slavery to the NWO bankers.
      I want it known that I am Africa American and the patriot movement is about liberty and freedom. We simply want the government criminals to leave us alone!
      So, African Americans need to be move visible so that they cannot try to turn this into a race issue.

For every ONE demonization they put out – we need to put out 3 TRUTHS about what they are doing and wake up 100 or more new people. It will end up either them crawling back into their hole or there will be a firefight. One of the two – all patriots have to be ready for BOTH!

      But Dont you find it extremely unnerving that a gov agency would compile a report a very broad brushed report that characterizes half our population as right wing extremists.And not only is the report sweeping in its naming of a large but targeted group of Americans but now we learn the research done to come to these conclusions is from less than concrete sources.
      So what else are they going to cook up against very possibly innocent people groups in America for the sake of thier propoganda? This all has a distinct but ancient design to it.The design stencil comes from the USSR East Germany Nazi Germany Fascist Italy and Vichy France ,all deadly propoganda machines .The knife of demonization is cutting a swath into our country separating those who oppose from those who comply to this emerging totalitarian state.
      This and many other thinly cloaked in Gov policy moves against the people will result in One ,A slow acceptance of the “Change” Obama promised us or Two Im sorry to say a possible very violent revolt that we must not assume will bring about the reformation of smaller gov.The vacuum left by the absence of totalitarian public policy never gaurantees a return to a free society.The return to a free society is truly the most difficult of all political processes not to be taken for granted.We as Americans are seeing the beginning glimpses
      of that process.Painful as the coming days may be we must never falter in our purpose or fade in our energy to bring about the constitutional basis of a free society.
