West Virginia citizen activist now on the Deep
State’s radar
Posted by Ann Corcoran 3/18/18
In
some ways I almost don’t want to report on the latest from LeoHohmann.com because I don’t want more
Americans who stand up for America and Western Civilization to live in fear of
our own government, but you need to be forewarned!
Hohmann’s chilling piece is about our friend Brenda Arthur in
Charleston, WV entitled: Deep
state attacks: Gov’t ‘Fusion Centers’ spying on patriots concerned about Islam
Brenda Arthur testifies on refugee
resettlement Feb. 22, 2017, before the West Virginia House of Delegates
Homeland Security Committee in Charleston. West Virginia.
Below
is some of the story, but
please read the whole thing. I’m just setting the stage with the
following snips:
Brenda Arthur received an unexpected visit on March 8 that, one week
later, leaves her feeling more than a little uneasy.
At
her door that day was an officer with the West Virginia State Police. He wanted
to know about her involvement in a Freedom of Information request regarding a
local mosque.
Arthur,
who will turn 67 this summer, serves as leader of the West Virginia chapter of ACT For America, whose mission is to educate Americans
about the advancement of Islamic principles in Western societies.
Islamic Association of WV was expanding
presumably to accommodate Syrian refugees the local ‘Interfaith’ community was
pushing to resettle prior to the election of Donald Trump.
As
a Jewish American, she was concerned about a major expansion of the Islamic
Association of West Virginia in her hometown of South Charleston. This mosque
has hosted an openly anti-Semitic preacher in the past, and so she went to city
hall in late January to have a look at its construction permits and site plans,
something that is within the right of every American citizen under the U.S.
Freedom of Information Act and state open-records laws.
She
had no idea that this perfectly legal activity, performed every day by citizen
watchdogs across the U.S., would prompt a visit from the state police.
Workman’s
[the officer who came to Arthur’s door] unit is part of the West Virginia
Intelligence Exchange, a
secretive outfit that works closely with the U.S. Department of Homeland
Security’s “intelligence fusion center” in West Virginia.
All 50 states have at least one DHS fusion center, and the story of Brenda Arthur
lends credence to the views of civil libertarians that these centers, whatever
their stated purpose, have been weaponized against law-abiding American
citizens. Do not talk to them!
Whitehead
[John, founder of the Charlottesville, Va.-based Rutherford Institute] has
strict advice for any law-abiding citizen who is approached by law enforcement
asking questions about their personal activities. “If they come to your door,
do not talk to them. If they call you on the phone, do not talk to them.”
Whitehead
said the intimidation tactics used by fusion centers are similar to the East
German Stasi and other secret-police agencies.
“They’re copying the tactics of former totalitarian regimes and the
slightest mistake can get you in trouble,” he said.
Hohmann
continues, please read it all so you know how to handle the situation
should it happen to you. It is
going to get harder before it gets better, so please hang in there all of you!
You
might not have Brenda’s bravery (or that of Johnson in my previous post), but there are so many things you can do to save America
and save Western Civilization—find your niche and work at it every day! Read
