Homeland Security Veteran Smear – Commentary by Jim Dean
Dear Folks,
We are going to be following the Homeland Security veteran smear case closely as we
feel the 'usual suspects' are involved. It is time to stick their long Pinocchio noses in the garbage disposal.
Having infiltrators and fellow travelers using the Homeland Security moniker to promote their hate campaign is an outrage
that must be addressed. Whether the vets themselves speak out on this will play a key role in getting to the bottom of it.
Whether you are a veteran or just believe that DHS should be held accountable for their "shoddy, unprofessional" acts and the
outright smears of American veterans, this is a call to action. Write your Congressional Rep! Write your Senators! Use the phone!

your Representative in the U.S. House.
More background is provided below, but in a nutshell, the Department of Homeland Security issued a report on "Rightwing Exremism"
April 7, 2009. It constituted an outrageous attack on our veterans, and virtually every right-leaning U.S. citizen. The information
and "analysis" came from disreputable sources, primarily the
Southern Poverty Law Center and other discredited and questionable
Internet sources.
Rep. Hoekstra, in his April 15 letter to DHS head Janet Napolitano,
describes the DHS report as "shoddy, unprofessional, sloppy, unsubstantiated,
and potentially politicized." He questions the analysis, the sources and the DHS leadership in not questioning the sources.
So the question remains....will American veterans take this smear lying down? Will American citizens accept such smears without a
protest? Will American leaders in Congress accept such penetration of and influence over our "Intelligence" and "Justice" arms
of government? Congress and the SPLC await your response...or...your apathy.
"The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly
proportional to how they perceive veterans of early wars were treated and appreciated by our nation."
--George Washington
"No punishment, in my opinion, is too great for the man who can build his greatness upon his country's ruin."
--George Washington, to Joseph Reed, Dec. 12, 1778
Political Connections, Fellow Travelers & the Endless Series of Hobgoblins
"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with
an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." --H.L. Mencken, from In Defense of Women, 1918
Obviously, the SPLC benefits when the U.S. government lends its name to reports of "rightwing extremism" and potential security threats
(continuing the Endless Series of Hobgoblins!).
The influence of Morris Dees and the Southern Poverty Law Center in Democratic circles manifested early in the Obama
administration when out of the blue with no previous discussion, hearings or public notice, the newly appointed head of Homeland
Security, Janet Napolitano, announced a complete package of suspicious persons/groups which should be noted by authorities. (Get your copy
of the DHS report on Rightwing Extremism here!)
In our view, this outrageous list of generalizations bears the broad brush stroke (fingerprints?) of the SPLC in that it's
similar to the "ideological profiles" that the SPLC regularly issues to alarm potential donors
(marks) about extremists, racists, terrorists, troublemakers in order to keep the money flowing. Included on the watch list were
American military veterans, citizens who may have displayed signs or bumper stickers against abortion, WBTS re-enactors,
opponents of illegal immigration and open borders, hunters, shooting enthusiasts and gun collectors, citizens against gay
marriage, among others. Conservapedia.com calls this being
"Politically Profiled." We are reminded of Nixon's
"enemies list" and Clinton's abuse of the IRS to harrass political opponents...except
in this case, the unelected
SPLC is lobbying Congress to harrass its ideological opponents and DHS to publish scaremongering generalizations. Rep. Pete Hoekstra of
Michigan and others have expressed concern
about DHS "intelligence" being coopted and politicized
--- his letter to Sec. Napolitano used words like "sloppy," "shoddy," "unsubstantiated," "unprofessional" and "politicized."
When DHS was pressed under FOIA to disclose the
information's origin, we learn that, according to GetLiberty.org (Americans For Limited Government), "DHS functionaries
simply cruised the Internet (in tin-foil hats, no doubt) and relied entirely upon some of the most disreputable sites on the web
to stage its attack upon its 'rightwing' targets." Their key sources, it turns out, were
WhatDoesItMean.com and the SPLC's website.
From our visit to the Whatdoesitmean.com website, we see that they report that the U.S. government has been in direct
contact with
"known interdimensional entities" (aliens? spirits?) through
sophisticated radio waves (the so-called 'Radio to God' made of crystals). Wow! Lying SPLC conmen and loopy alien-conspiracy nuts
are providing intel to our Homeland Security officials and the Obama
administration. Makes you all warm and fuzzy, doesn't it? Oh my Goodness...what if the aliens give the rightwing extremists
advanced weapons?
