"Keeping our hometowns safe in troubled times isn't just a job for those in uniform, it's something that can, and should, involve us all."

TERRORISM

Although terrorism is not limited to Islamic extremists, the number and scope of attacks by such groups requires attention. The following links offer information for your open-minded consideration.

Terrorist attacks require an immediate response. Often times, there will be no police or military in the area. This is where having an armed, prepared body of citizenry can come in very handy.

Wikipedia has a broad article about terrorism here. This article also mentions one of the more brutal aspects of tyranny: State Terrorism.

While the FBI is certainly engaged in the search for actual terrorists, they also cling to the contention that: 

"The militia/sovereign citizen movement similarly continues to present a threat to law enforcement and members of the judiciary. Members of these groups will continue to intimidate and sometimes threaten judges, prosecutors, and other officers of the court. Sporadic incidents resulting in direct clashes with law enforcement are possible and will most likely involve state and local law enforcement personnel, such as highway patrol officers and sheriff’s deputies."

You are ALL hereby advised to NOT do any of that, not even sporadically.

Local FBI Agents, with whom some of us have spoken, have stated that animal rights groups and environmental extremists, such as ALF, ELF, and Earth First, may be considered a greater threat that any local militia group. If you know of any such groups having plans to blow anything up, or commit other acts of mayhem, feel free to call your local police.
