FBI
Instructs High Schools to Inform On “Anti-government” Students, Constitutionalists figure prominently on the target list, March 10, 2016
A new
FBI initiative based on Britain’s “anti-terror” mass surveillance program
instructs high schools across America to inform on students who express
“anti-government” and “anarchist” political beliefs.
“High school students are ideal targets
for recruitment by violent extremists seeking support for their radical
ideologies, foreign fighter networks, or conducting acts of targeted violence
within our borders. High schools must remain vigilant in educating their
students about catalysts that drive violent extremism and the potential
consequences of embracing extremist belief,” states an unclassified document released in January by the FBI’s Office
of Partner Engagement, the agency’s primary liaison for the law enforcement community.
The document claims public school
educators “are in a unique position to affect change, impart affirmative
messaging, or facilitate intervention activities,” including informing on
students. It calls for “observing and assessing concerning behaviors and
communications” of students “embracing extremist ideologies.”
In addition to “designated foreign
terrorist organizations,” the FBI program targets “domestic violent extremism
movements,” including anti-government groups.
According to the FBI “some adults
embrace domestic violent extremist ideologies [and] their beliefs can permeate
family norms, oftentimes influencing their children. This dynamic fosters
biases leading to hatred and intolerance, and drives the need for action.”
Conflating Sovereign Citizens and
Constitutionalists
The FBI and federal and local law
enforcement groups categorize many libertarian, constitutionalist and other
groups and individuals as
“sovereign citizens.” According to an FBI counterterrorism analysis, sovereign citizens “may refer to
themselves as ‘constitutionalists’ or ‘freemen,’ which is not necessarily a
connection to a specific group, but, rather, an indication that they are free
from government control.”
The FBI considers the Redemption Theory
(the abandonment of the gold standard in favor of fiat currency), emancipation
“from the responsibilities of being a U.S. citizen, including paying taxes,”
and “conspiracy theories,” including the formation of global government and a
police state, as indicators of
extremist or sovereign citizen ideology.
A National Consortium for the Study of
Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START) report produced by the Office of University Programs, Science and
Technology Directorate at the Department of Homeland Security in 2014 lists
sovereign citizens as the primary domestic terror threat in the United States,
followed by Islamic jihadists, “militia/patriot” and “extreme anti-tax” groups.
The document attempts to persuade law
enforcement that sovereign citizens are a direct threat to them. “Such changing
perceptions about what is a serious terrorist threat is an important finding
because identifying and prioritizing a threat is akin to hitting a moving
target and evolves as new intelligence, data, and events develop,” the START
report argues.
The FBI high school informer network
initiative is part of a larger effort “identifying and prioritizing” supposed
threats.
Informant Culture
The FBI initiative—the latest
manifestation of the “see something, say something” surveillance matrix—further
engenders a government informant culture that shares a parallel with East
Germany’s “Inoffizieller Mitarbeiter” or informal collaborator culture.
This Stasi network served as a primary
instrument of repression in communist East Germany. The government forged
partnerships with business, state institutions and social organizations. It is
estimated that the Stasi had an informal collaborator or informant network
exceeding 624,000 people (in 1989, at the height of Stasi power, the population
of East Germany was 16.5 million).
Former intelligence professionals are
well aware the United States is on its way to becoming a totalitarian high-tech
surveillance state that will soon rival the East German variant.
In January 2015 a delegation of Sam
Adams Associates for Integrity in Intelligence—which included ex-officers from
the NSA, CIA and British MI5—visited the Stasi museum in Berlin.
“As the former intelligence
officers-turned-whistleblowers walked among the well-preserved offices and
conference rooms of a former totalitarian state’s internal spy apparatus,”
writes Elizabeth Murray, who served as Deputy National
Intelligence Officer for the Near East in the National Intelligence Council,
“the sense of deja vu and irony of what the United States of America has become
was clearly not lost on any of them.”

Obama
needs to be impeached for treason against the American people. Congress needs
to grill the FBI for turning into the KGB and including citizens who support
the US Constitution (as written) on their terrorist lists. The FBI needs to close the camps, wire-tap
the Mosques and leave our patriots alone. The Interior Department is harassing
ranchers and farmers and needs to be eliminated. This program has UN written all over it.
