US Intel Officials Link Groups Listed In DHS "Extremist"
Reports To Al Qaeda Bio-Attack
Suggest violent foreign terrorists are seeking to work
with anti-government groups
Counterterrorism officials have stated that they believe "Al
Qaeda" terrorists are seeking to align themselves with
anti-government groups in the US in order to carry out mass
casualty attacks.
The suggestion dovetails with recent Department
of Homeland security documents that equate with violent terrorists
those who champion States' rights over the authority of the
Federal government.
"Al Qaeda is looking to exploit weaknesses
in U.S. border security and also is willing to ally itself with
white militia groups or other anti-government entities interested
in carrying out an attack inside the United States, according
to counterterrorism officials..." a report by The
Washington Times states.
The officials, who spoke only on the condition
they not be named, have pointed to a grainy video, first aired
by the Arabic news network Al Jazeera in February, of supposed
veteran Al Qaeda recruiter Abdullah al-Nafisi saying that the
terrorists should essentially hook up with disgruntled militia
groups in the US.
"These militias even think about bombing
nuclear plants within the U.S.," al-Nafisi is quoted as
saying. "May God grant them success, even though we are
not white, or even close to it, right? They have plans to bomb
the nuclear plant at Lake Michigan. This plant is very important.
... May God grant success to one of these militia leaders, who
is thinking about bombing this plant. I believe that we should
devote part of our prayers to him."
al-Nafisi also suggests that biological weapons,
capable of killing hundreds of thousands, could be smuggled
into the US through tunnels under the Mexican border.

Given that the government has made it clear that
it sees little difference between white supremacist groups and
Americans who still believe in the first and second amendments,
this does not bode well.
Of course, there is no actual evidence that any
militia group is plotting to blow up nuclear plants or is in
league with Al-CIA-da, neither is there any credible evidence
that the phantom terrorist group has the capability to carry
out a mass biological attack.
No matter, what this does is continue to set the
precedent for the authorities to blame the next major attack
on those that disagree with their policies and the actions in
the name of fighting the "war on terror".
From the reports of "White Al Qaeda"
to "homegrown terrorists", we have seen the emergence
of an ongoing agenda to foment some kind of connection between
foreign terrorists hell bent on attacking and killing Americans,
and US citizens protesting and speaking out against the erosion
of their constitutional rights.
The prime example of this is the recently leaked DHS report, entitled
Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate
Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment (PDF
link).
The document characterizes 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 lists gun owners, veterans, and those opposed to abortion
or immigration as potential extremists.
A footnote attached to the report by the Homeland Security
Office of Intelligence and Analysis defines "rightwing
extremism in the United States" as including not just racist
or hate groups, but also groups that reject federal authority
in favor of state or local authority.
Republican Representatives have demanded
answers from the Department of Homeland Security
over the origins of the report. Their demands remain unanswered.
A further disturbing DHS security document emerged
last month. Entitled “Domestic
Extremism Lexicon”, it shockingly lists the
“alternative media” with other radical extremist
groups and implies that people who disagree with the mass media’s
version of events are potential domestic terrorists.
These reports exist in addition to countless
other documents, such as the MIAC report, intended
to train police nationwide that supporters of presidential candidates
Ron Paul, Chuck Baldwin, and Bob Barr are “militia”
influenced terrorists.
The singling out in this way of Americans who
merely talk about the U.S. constitution, the loss of national
sovereignty or the erosion of the Bill of Rights, should act
as a wake-up call and prompt more people to expose the tyranny
unfolding before their eyes.
Counterterrorism officials have stated that they believe "Al
Qaeda" terrorists are seeking to align themselves with
anti-government groups in the US in order to carry out mass
casualty attacks.
