[Wash Times] A new Department of Homeland Security intelligence assessment circulated this month focuses on the threat of right-wing sovereign citizen extremist groups in the U.S. Some law enforcement groups say the threat is equal to, and occasionally greater than, the threat from Islamic extremist groups.
The Homeland Security report, produced in coordination with the FBI, counts 24 violent sovereign citizen-related attacks across the U.S. since 2010, CNN reported Friday. The Directorate of Diversion appears to be working overtime.

The Progressives do not look at external threats (that includes their sympathizers and Quislings) as a danger to their power. In fact they look to them as the excuse to expand power. It's native internal opposition they view as the supreme enemy. Remember Obama's bud is Bill Ayers a convicted terrorist on the Left.

Does anyone have a link to the actual report? Some half-assed googling and a bit of poking about at the DHS website didn't find it for me. I'm curious exactly how they define an incident.
#11
Accuse somebody of something long and hard enough and they may eventually decide it's true. Do they really want a domestic right-wing threat? Not if they're rational, but....
#13
The progressive government will do everything it can to provoke "incidents" and manufacture there own to have the excuse to crack down on their foes.
The next two years could very well lead to a full civil war.
[DAWN] The Afghan Taliban's office in Doha has been revived and the Taliban are now holding initial talks with the Afghan government, with Pakistain acting as controller, Dawn has learnt.
A top Pak official privy to the expected dialogue between Afghan Taliban and Afghan government confirmed the resumption of initial contacts between the two parties for devising the rules and agenda of formal talks expected to begin in March 2015.
"Yes I can confirm Taliban's Doha office has been revived and now with the facilitation of Pakistain, Afghan Taliban are holding initial talks with senior Afghan government officials to chalk out the strategy and set rules for formal talks," the official told Dawn on condition of anonymity.
Another official said Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Raheel Sharif had given the green signal for facilitating the resumption of dialogue when he met Afghanistan's Caped PresidentAshraf Ghani ...former chancellor of Kabul University, now president of Afghanistan. Before returning to Afghanistan in 2002 he was a scholar of political science and anthropology. He worked at the World Bank working on international development assistance. As Finance Minister of Afghanistan between July 2002 and December 2004, he led Afghanistan's attempted economic recovery until the Karzais stole all the money. .. in Kabul earlier this week.

[An Nahar] Having balked at Egypt's call for military intervention in Libya, the international community faces a daunting task to find a political solution to the lawless North African country's crisis, analysts say.
Roiled by turmoil ever since the NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A collection of multinational and multilingual and multicultural armed forces, all of differing capabilities, working toward a common goal by pulling in different directions... -backed ouster of dictator Muammar Qadaffy ... who had more funny outfits than Louis XIV... in 2011, Libya's security has continued to deteriorate, prompting calls for an easing of an arms embargo to help the internationally recognized government regain some control.
The beheading this week of 21 mainly Egyptian Coptic Christians by the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... group sparked Cairo to launch air strikes against the jihadists in Libya and call for an international coalition to hit IS.
But Western and Arab states have flinched at the suggestion of force, and UN. .envoy Bernardino Leon told the U.N. Security Council Wednesday that the only cure for Libya's trauma was political.
Claudia Gazzini of the International Crisis Group said a political accord would be "difficult, but not impossible to achieve."
"The international community must stay focused on supporting the dialogue efforts and resist calls to lift the arms embargo," the analyst said.
Libya is awash with weapons and rival militias are battling for control of its cities and oil wealth. It has two rival governments and parliaments, one recognized by the international community and the other with ties to Islamists.

Build a fence around the whole place and let no one in or out, now communications, no "humanitarian" (aka more weapons) aid, nada, zip, zero, zilch.
Take a look in a year or so and if there's still $#it going on, continue. Repeat as necessary.

Some people with limited intellect are getting the drift that sometimes old fashion strongmen have a place in the world order. File under lessons forgotten by the Unicorn Generation. Yes, it's not nice. It's not optimal. However, if it works think twice before screwing with it. Man is a hierarchical territorial animal by nature. As a consequence democracy is an unnatural form of governance that is rare and hard to sustain. It does not magically happen in the absence of certain specific conditions all of which do not fall 'like the gentle rain from heaven'. We're all suffering because too many in the ruling classes are full of people hugging their inner fantasies of their imagined world rather than the uncompromising nature of the real world.
#4
The UN and Department of State ALWAYS want a political solution because that justifies their existence and a nice expense account and nifty titles on their business cards.
They've been at it for four years...the UN had people on the ground working with the GNC, the militias and other fringe groups almost immediately after Qadaffi's murder. I know they were living right next door to me in Tripoli complete with their body guards and brand new Mercedes Benzes.
Because it has been four years, I would say times up and it is time for someone to provides some stern parenting and adult leadership in the country...are you listening Italy?

[An Nahar] The Gulf Cooperation Council has backtracked on criticism of Egypt in its row with bloc member Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates... over Libya, in a move a Saudi-owned daily said Friday reflected divisions among member states.
GCC secretary general Abdullatif al-Zayani had issued a statement on Thursday rebuking Egypt for accusing Qatar of supporting terrorism in Libya because of reservations it expressed about Egyptian air strikes earlier this week.
But late in the evening, Zayani issued a new statement disavowing the earlier one and insisting all six member states fully supported Cairo in its intervention in its lawless western neighbour.
"GCC states have stressed their full support to Egypt and its brotherly people in fighting terrorism and protecting its citizens at home and abroad," he said in the later statement.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Yemen's feuding parties have agreed on a "people's transitional council" to help govern the country and guide it out of a political crisis, U.N. mediator Jamal Benomar announced on Friday.
The move follows the takeover of power by the Houthi ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews ... movement, a Shi'ite Moslem militia, which led to the resignation of the president last month and the paralysis of many of Yemen's state institutions.
"This progress is not a (final) agreement, but an important breakthrough that paves the way towards a comprehensive agreement," Benomar said in a statement.
As part of the new formula, Yemen's old 301-member house of representatives, made up overwhelmingly of MPs from the former ruling party thought to be sympathetic to the Houthis, will stay in place.
Instead of the traditional upper house, a new transitional council - whose numbers were not specified - will consist of traditionally unrepresented sectors among Yemen's formerly independent South, women and young people.
Together the two bodies will make legislation guiding Yemen's transition.
Arrangements for the vacated presidency and ministries along with security required further dialogue, Benomar added.
There was no immediate comment by the Houthis or the two main Sunni Islamist and socialist opposition parties.

[Dhaka Tribune] US Secretary of State John F. I was in Vietnam, you know Kerry Former Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, self-defined war hero, speaker of French, owner of a lucky hat, conqueror of Cambodia, and current Secretary of State... offered his renewed support to Bangladesh in protecting people's fundamental freedoms.
Meanwhile, ...back at the palazzo, Don Smilzo looked for an avenue of escape. The only window opened a hundred feet above the moat. The nearest of the hired assassins hold a bloody axe.
The window was looking better all the time.... UN Secretary-General the ephemeral Ban Ki-moon ... of whom it can be said to his credit that he is not Kofi Annan... said the Bangladesh government had the responsibility to protect people in general from violence.
John Kerry urged Bangladesh government to take action to end the ongoing violence peacefully and condemned the targeting of civilians by political parties.
Kerry made the call in a meeting with Foreign Minister AH Mahmood Ali at the State Department Thursday night, said a senior State Department official.
He also urged the opposition parties to stop such attacks immediately, the diplomat said.
Kerry said there can be no tolerance for tactics that target innocent citizens or inhibit political expression in a democratic Bangladesh.
When contacted, Foreign Minister AH Mahmood Ali said the US secretary of state asked him to take immediate step to stop violence.
"He also expressed his desire to come to Dhaka as soon as possible," Mahmood said.

[IsraelTimes] Lawsuit's implication of PA in terrorism could damage efforts to garner international support
Paleostinian officials are nervously watching a landmark terrorism trial in the United States, brought by victims of Paleostinian suicide kabooms and shootings aimed at civilians. They fear a negative verdict could hurt their international image at a time when they are preparing to press war crimes charges against Israel.
The $1 billion lawsuit was filed over a series of deadly attacks in or near Jerusalem that killed 33 people and maimed hundreds more during the second Paleostinian intifada, or uprising, a decade ago. The plaintiffs have turned to the US court because some of the victims were American citizens.
Continued on Page 49
(Fox News) Top Republican senators Friday demanded answers after a military official revealed "detailed operational information" about a looming Iraqi mission to retake Mosul from the Islamic State, saying the disclosure has put the mission at risk.
"Never in our memory can we recall an instance in which our military has knowingly briefed our own war plans to our enemies," Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said in a letter to President Obama.
The senators asked who was responsible for the briefing, conducted Thursday by a military official, and whether they had White House approval. "Those responsible have jeopardized our national security interests and must be held accountable," they wrote.
The letter follows criticism in other corners that the military may have revealed too much detail in previewing the operation.
On Thursday, the U.S. military official outlined plans to retake Mosul and said the "shaping" for the battle is currently underway. He said the Iraqi military hopes to begin operations in the "April, May timeframe" with the goal of retaking Mosul before Ramadan begins on June 17.
#1
Or perhaps the announcement was meant to get ISIL leadership talking over unsecured devices or an effort to get ISIL elements moving toward Mosul where air power can get to either.
[IraqiNews] The initial attack force will consist of about 10,000 Iraqi troops, CBS News correspondent David Martin reports. The rest of the force would be held in reserve and include Kurdish fighters along with Iraqi soldiers and special operations forces. U.S. military advisers will give training to all of the troops in the attack force.
The official from U.S. Central Command says five Iraqi Army brigades will soon go through coalition training in Iraq. The official says there are about 1,000 to 2,000 ISIS snuffies in the city of djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... . The group overtook the northern Iraqi city last June. Military leaders have been talking about retaking the city for some time.
Mosul is of strategic importance. The city and surrounding Ninevah province are a major export route for Iraqi oil and a gateway to Syria. It was taken by Lions of Islam last June.
April or May was chosen as a date to start so the fighting could end before the worst of Iraq's summer heat comes. If Iraqi forces are not ready by April or May, the operation could be delayed, the official says, speaking anonymously because the official was not authorized to discuss the operation publicly.
No decision has been made yet on whether U.S. military advisers will accompany Iraqi troops to call in Arclight airstrikes against ISIS targets.

Sometimes I think this group of naïve little momma's boys and girls in the current administration are the same people that sold the A-bomb to the Russians. Anything for a political agenda.
So what if they kill a couple of thousand of our guys because they want to show the administration can lead from the front.

[IsraelTimes] Violence in the Jerusalem area has reached levels "not seen in those areas in a decade," the US State Department said Wednesday, warning citizens about the dangers of travel to the capital and other areas in the region.
In the newest reissue of a standing travel warning regarding Israel, the West Bank and Gazoo, the State Department admonished citizens to "be aware of the continuing risks of travel to these areas."
The warning, issued Wednesday, replaced a travel warning issued in early September, and placed much more emphasis on dangers to US citizens from terror attacks in well-traveled areas. When traveling, I always use 'Neighborhood Scout.'
Describing diminished security in Israel's cities, the warning notes that "a rise in political tensions and violence in Jerusalem and the West Bank has resulted in injuries to and deaths of US citizens."
The notice warned that "the July-August 2014 Gazoo conflict and subsequent political and religious tension associated with access to the Haram al-Sharif/Temple Mount in the Old City of Jerusalem led to increased levels of violence, particularly in Jerusalem and West Bank environs, not seen in those areas in a decade."
It cited "attacks on individuals and groups" in "East and West Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and Bethlehem, as well as various places in the West Bank."
US citizens accounted for a high number of victims in a string of terror attacks that rocked the Jerusalem area in the fall, including a three-month-old baby run over by an East Jerusalem driver, and three US-born rabbis killed in an attack on a synagogue.
US-born Rabbi Yehuda Glick, an activist who campaigns for Jewish rights on the Temple Mount, also survived an liquidation attempt.
Tariq Abu Khdeir, a US citizen in Israel for the funeral of his cousin murdered by Jewish Death Eaters, was beaten by Israeli border police in July in a high-profile case.
The State Department said six US citizens were killed in Israel and the West Bank over 2014 and several more injured, but noted that "we have no indication that US citizens have been specifically targeted based on their nationality."
The warning was tempered by a statement noting that thousands of US citizens regularly visit the region safely and Israeli and Paleostinian police were making "considerable efforts to police major tourist attractions and ensure security in areas where foreigners frequently travel."
The current iteration of the travel warning strikes earlier language that prohibited Embassy and Consulate General personnel from traveling south of Ashdod and required special approval for travel to and south of Beersheva.
The new language regarding the south notes instead that US government personnel require special security arrangements if traveling inside Israel within seven kilometers of the Gazoo demarcation line.
Acknowledging the destabilizing potential of the Syrian Civil War on Israel's northern border, the warning also notes that US personnel have restricted travel along the Lebanese border and in the eastern Golan Heights.
[IsraelTimes] Administration considering media blitz, political snubs as part of its diplomatic war with Jerusalem over PM's address to Congress
In what is becoming an increasingly nasty grudge match, the White House is weighing actions to undermine Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's upcoming trip to Washington and blunt his message that a potential nuclear deal with Iran is bad for Israel and the world.
There are limits. Administration officials have discarded the idea of President Barack Obama His schedule permitting, I recommend booking Thamsanqa Jantjie. Continued on Page 49

This administration has become more petty, irresponsible, outrageous as their days in office dwindle. Frankly, the more I read about Netanyahu pending speech, the more interest I've become in hearing what he has to say to the joint session of Congress. I hope he rises to the level of Churchill in his address to Congress in December 26, 1941 and address concretely the issue of the Global Islamic menace.

Probably go to Defcon-1, fire up Conelrad and explain it was a drill to thwart the VE (violent extremists) then claim Bush set up the drill in 2003 and his hands were tied.

Consider the juvenile way obumbles is handling this with the way Bush handled things like Queen Nancy visiting Syria and other terrorist supporting organizations when she undercut him by trying to negociate with our enemies.

In an Obama-sort of way, Mr. Obama is playing this pretty well.
1. On the one hand, he is publicly and quite unabashedly displaying true animus towards Israel's "Proxy," Mr. Netanyahu.
2. On the other, he has alienated most of our pre-Obama era allies and has let the world see what kind of "combined forces" we can now assemble.
Save U.S. Conservatives, Israel is on her own, and she knows it. I believe Mr. Netanyahu is going to give it one last swing when he comes to town. Assuming he goes home unable to persuasively make his case to majorities in the houses, I would expect to see, in a few short weeks, some impressively glowing real estate say, 1,150 miles ENE of Jerusalem.
[Jerusalem Post] A nuclear deal with Iran does not yet exist, and therefore Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cannot know what is in it, US State Department Jen Psaki said on Thursday.
"We've seen this movie before," Psaki said of skepticism from leadership in Israel over the nuclear talks.
Earlier this week Netanyahu said that the current proposal to Iran would endanger Israel.
"It would enable Iran to breakout to its first nuclear device within an unacceptably short time," Netanyahu told a gathering of American Jewish leaders in Jerusalem.
Netanyahu also said he knows the contents of a framework proposal, offered to Iran by the US, Britain, France, Russia, China and Germany last month. But the Obama administration is skeptical. Only a guess mind you, but since they've been denied access to the process, I would venture the most advanced intelligence service in the ME might insist that information on the 'framework' be a extremely 'high priority' collection requirement.
#6
It would be a contest to see what is more clueless, my rat terrier, a door stop, or Jen Psaki.
I wonder if these idiotic spokespeople, Psaki, Harf, et al., realize that his reign end in a little over a year and a half and their nonsense will speak louder than a tarted up resume.
How do you sell yourself in the marketplace with any credibility when you've said these things?
I hope they all go grow potatoes on a commune somewhere in Moldova.

I dunno. They remind me a lot of the DNC's Debbie Wassserman Schultz; willing to lie and espouse inane talking points and keep repeating them because they believe in The Cause.
There'll always be a place for them post-regime, whether in the media, a think-tank, or an advocacy group.
[AnNahar] The United States voiced fears Thursday that the Paleostinian Authority may be teetering on the brink of collapse because of a lack of funding, as Israel withholds taxes and donor aid stalls.
No longer just staking out a position, but nailing their feet to that particular bit of ground with a bolt gun.
Washington has been in urgent talks with regional leaders as well as other stakeholders in the frozen Middle East grinding of the peace processor in a bid to try to release more funds.
"It's true we're very concerned about the continued viability of the Paleostinian Authority if they do not receive funds soon," State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki ...a valley girl who woke up one morning and found she was spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of State... told news hounds.
Such funds would include the resumption of monthly Israeli transfers of Paleostinian tax revenues, or additional donor assistance, she said.
In January, Israel suspended $127 million in tax revenues which should have been transferred to the Paleostinian Authority as punishment for its move to join the International Criminal Court ... where Milosevich died of old age before being convicted ... (ICC).
The Paleostinians' membership in the ICC, which takes effect on April 1, sets the scene for potential legal action against Israelis for alleged war crimes, in a move which has infuriated the Jewish state.
But the Paleostinian economy has also been hit by a slowing of aid funds, as donors have failed to make good on $5.4 billion promised at a Cairo conference in October to help rebuild the impoverished Gazoo Strip after last year's 50-day war.
The IMF reported last month that the war between Israel and Gazoo drove the Paleostinian economy of Gazoo and the West Bank into its first contraction since 2006.
Psaki warned that if the Paleostinian Authority ceased security cooperation with Israel "or even decides to disband, as they have said they may do as early as the first week of March," it could trigger a dire situation.
"We could be faced with a crisis that could gravely impact both the Paleostinians and the Israelis, with potentially serious ripple effects...," she said.
U.S. officials have been in talks with counterparts from the EU, UN, Russia and the Arab League ...an organization of Arabic-speaking states with 22 member countries and four observers. The League tries to achieve Arab consensus on issues, which usually leaves them doing nothing but a bit of grimacing and mustache cursing... to discuss the situation.
U.S. Secretary of State John F. I was in Vietnam, you know Kerry Former Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, self-defined war hero, speaker of French, owner of a lucky hat, conqueror of Cambodia, and current Secretary of State... met Thursday with the head of the vaporous Arab League, Nabil al-Arabi, praising him as a "solid partner" in many issues including the Middle East grinding of the peace processor.
Israeli-Paleostinian talks have stalled since Kerry's dogged bid for a comprehensive peace treaty collapsed spectacularly in April.
Psaki acknowledged that given the situation it "would not seem possible to get further assistance to the Paleostinian Authority through Congress in the near future."
Washington was warning partners "about the importance of stability in the region and the implications that go well beyond security," she added.
"Hundreds of thousands of students could be without teachers, hospitals could cease to function... The cost to both Paleostinians and Israelis could be immense in both financial and human terms."

[An Nahar] Hizbullah ...Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistance and purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory... rejected on Friday media reports that said Syria was seeking to assassinate detained former minister Michel Samaha.
It said in a statement: "Such claims are baseless accusations that do not rely on facts."
It added that it reserves the right to take legal action in the matter.
Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... 's al-Watan daily had reported on Tuesday that "Damascus had emphasized to Hizbullah chief His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah The satrap of the Medes and the Persians in Leb... the need to eliminate Samaha, who was indicted with attempting to transport explosives from Syria to use them in criminal acts in Leb."
Police had thwarted a plot to kill the former pro-Syrian information minister.
The military prosecutor had recently granted Samaha the right to be transferred to hospital for medical reasons, but he later lifted his decision under the orders of General Prosecutor Judge Samir Hammoud and Justice Minister Ashraf Rifi.
Both Hammoud and Rifi interfered in the case after security forces received information that Samaha could be killed during the transfer for having dangerous information on the Syrian regime.
Rifi had confirmed the liquidation plot on Tuesday.
Samaha and two Syrian officials have been indicted for transporting explosives from Syria to Leb in an attempt to assassinate Lebanese political and religious leaders.
His trial has been adjourned on several occasions over the failure to summon Syrian security chief General Ali Mamlouk.

[The Peninsula] UN Sherlocks said Friday they were prepared to publish secret lists of alleged war criminals in Syria to help protect civilians at risk of human rights ...which are usually open to widely divergent definitions... abuses in the war-torn country.
A commission of inquiry said it hoped that publishing the confidential list it has been drawing up throughout Syria's nearly four-year civil war and "putting alleged perpetrators on notice" would "serve to maximise the potential deterrent effect" and "help to protect people at risk of abuse."
