SEC. 899A. DEFINITIONS.And we all know advocating the so-called "insurrectionary theory" of the Second Amendment, that is, saying We the People should take up arms and resist, meaning shoot and kill tyrants and their agents, is "extremist."
`For purposes of this subtitle:
`(1) COMMISSION- The term `Commission' means the National Commission on the Prevention of Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism established under section 899C.
`(2) VIOLENT RADICALIZATION- The term `violent radicalization' means the process of adopting or promoting an extremist belief system for the purpose of facilitating ideologically based violence to advance political, religious, or social change.
`(3) HOMEGROWN TERRORISM- The term `homegrown terrorism' means the use, planned use, or threatened use, of force or violence by a group or individual born, raised, or based and operating primarily within the United States or any possession of the United States to intimidate or coerce the United States government, the civilian population of the United States, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives.
`(4) IDEOLOGICALLY BASED VIOLENCE- The term `ideologically based violence' means the use, planned use, or threatened use of force or violence by a group or individual to promote the group or individual's political, religious, or social beliefs.
So if we react to an outrage by reminding our countrymen of Jefferson's "Tree of Liberty" quote, or cite the Declaration of Independence, or even worse, the Declaration of the Causes and Necessity of Their Taking up Arms, what risks will we now assume? After all, we've (OK, I've) already experienced first-hand the "respect" Jane Harman's minions have for the First Amendment.
She truly is one of the most arrogant and odious members of Congress, one who married into power wealth, and as a supporter and volunteer for her opponent, Susan Brooks, I witnessed first hand the outright election fraudthat went unresolved and that resulted in Harman's initial elevation to the House:
In California's 36th Congressional District Republican Susan Brooks lost by 812 votes to Democrat Jane Harman, with absentees providing the margin of victory. Brooks workers compiled a detailed list of more than 2,000 apparently invalid votes. As Reader's Digest put it, ''findings indicated that of 5,292 absentee ballots from 20 Venice precincts that went overwhelmingly for Harman, 1,337 (26 per cent) had been cast by voters whose addresses on the rolls turned out to be abandoned homes, empty apartments, vacant lots.''
As an aside, I note one of the co-sponsors is that snake Dan Lungren, former California AG, "assault weapon" ban enforcer, and "moderate republican" of the Schwarzenegger stripe, on whose watch the confiscation of firearms from "law-abiding" citizens began.
We've just recently seen our government's heavy-handed approach to categorizing "terrorists." We've even seen the FBI float the criterion that "defenders of the US Constitution against federal government and the UN" should be reported to the Joint Terrorism Task Force.
On 10/24, this treasonous bill was "Referred to Senate committee: Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs."
I guess we're about to find out how serious we all really are.

Well, I guess the final brick in the crematorium is now in place. Now all they need are the guard towers.
ReplyDeleteGod damn them. (That a prayer, not a blasphemy.)
I don't want to die this way. I WON'T die this way.
They just redefined opinion, political activism, and patriotism as Homegrown Terrorism.
ReplyDeleteI guess we are about to see how serious we are. I ain't hard to find and I ain't gonna do one damn thing differently.
I can do some redefinitions myself.
Hard as it is to admit, I think things are about to get worse, and possibly bloody. I don't know when, but I think I'll live to see it.
ReplyDeleteKeep your powder dry and your guns oiled...
Making dissent illegal is a hallmark of tyranny. They don't even hide it anymore.....
ReplyDeleteSo could this be used against Hamm for his threat to Say Uncle? I would think so.....
ReplyDeleteNice. Even comes with an unelected (and probably anonymous as well, because what passes for justice must sometimes go hooded, nicht wahr?) apparat to decide who's who.
ReplyDeleteReading up on Lungren and California is what woke me up with regard to the Second Amendment (better late than never...if not much better).
It is time once again to remind everyone: The United States IS NOT America. The United States is the greatest threat America has ever known.
ReplyDeleteHere I was worried that I am getting more radical every day and it turns out that radical is meeting me half way.
ReplyDeleteI guess this puts us on the same level as many of our political opponents. The left has been for years denouncing the current administration and this little act puts them directly in the cross hairs.
ReplyDeleteOf course, they won't care once Hillary! is in office since they'll think they're doing the aiming, but those people are the first ones against the wall when the time comes.
The biggest source of "IDEOLOGICALLY BASED VIOLENCE" is the God damned federal government. Waco, Ruby Ridge, the cuban kid, the Browns, KT, etc. They have the goons to do what they want politically, citizens be damned they're going to do it to "promote the group or individual's political, religious, or social beliefs." You know damn well, like all the other so called laws on the books it won't apply to them, just us.
ReplyDeleteImportant: The old advice "not to put all of your eggs in one basket" is pretty relevant now, and will be more so once the arrests begin.
ReplyDelete'Twould be a real good idea to have at least two sets of uhh...camping equipment at separate locations, each of which is not linkable to you via traditional investigative methods.
Make sure you put some cash with each set of camping gear as well.
You're gonna need it.
My guess is that the Senate committee will just sit on this one until they think the storm has blown over, and then move it forward at the last minute while nobody's looking.
ReplyDeleteBetter late than never...
ReplyDeleteDear Jane,
Dissent eradication??? What kind of Anti American unpatriotic Bullshit is that? So, you're attempting to repeal the 1st amendment? You do understand that the removal of legal dissent is the beginning of tyranny, don't you? Are you a tyrant? Do you where the word tyrant came from? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyrant Have a look.
How do people like you make office??
