The government of every country knows it's citizens are their true threat! They are not concerned about foreign terrorists coming in and killing citizens. They can accept that, what's a few hundred or thousand minions. They worry the citizens will rise up and overthrow them. Never has this threat been more obvious, so they will sick the lame stream media to propagate the fear and build support to take away more of our rights under the guise of security.

Everyone needs to shut off their TV! It is only used to push propaganda and promote corporations.

Thank you everybody for your great replies and thoughts I must thank you all for not flaming me on my first thread I am very glad to see that almost all of you see right through this misrepresented and disrespectful crap the MSM is reporting. It is people like us who are some of the last hopes this country has left. Like an above poster 'GD21D' stated, "First it was foreign terrorists, then it was foreign terrorist cells on U.S. soil, now it's American extremists. Now that's what I call Psychological conditioning!" You are completely correct, the only thing that worries me is what is next? Before this report i have never heard them blatantly refer to American extremists and radicals except for maybe Anwar Al-awlaki. But now they have began labeling a huge number of us American extremists and domestic terrorists? According to their numbers, there is nearly 300,000 of us 'radicals' 'operating' in the U.S. currently. Those must be some frightening numbers for them. What are they going to do? Begin to start drone striking us here on our own soil to 'neutralize' us without trial? That is not going to happen.
I also greatly agree with what fellow ATS member PaTommyJ posted, "I watch that newscast every night over dinner with my sweetie and we are more and more disgusted each day. The one thing that really ticked me off was at the end the reporter called them 'a hate group'. WHAT??? Not one of the people interviewed used the hate word to my recollection. Not one. The only evidence I saw of aggression was the one man who stated "if you come at me with a gun I will defend myself". Isn't that a constitutional right to defend yourself? Oh, wait, my bad. It's the constitution they seem to be nullifying bit by bit...."
I agree wholeheartedly. how dare they call us true patriots a 'hate group?' I am very glad other members caught the newscast segment such as yourself. In the interviews with sovereign citizens they conducted, there was not one single person who said anything hate related as far as i recall either. They were simply defending their beliefs in a reasonable fashion. But the way the reporters twisted it was discusting. Apparently nowadays, defending the constitution and standing up for our rights that were garunteed by our founding fathers and the bill of rights is now grounds to be called a sovereign citizen and then labeled a radical, extremist, and a hateful terrorist. The subliminal messeging and mind programming is running rampant now. I feel awful for the young children who are brought up to believe everything they see on the news, and that America is perfect and the best and most free place in the world. They have no chance unless their parents choose to show them the truth which is almost impossible without home schooling. Having just graduated from high school myself, you should see the brainwashing and the 'facts' they are spewing in public schools history classes. It is laughable to those who know better; but most do not. They can label us radicals all they want in my opinion. But it is up to us ATS and those all over the country like us, to deny ignorance and make a stand. The only positive side i see to all of this, and especially the news segment, is that they(tptb) are obviously getting afraid of us. This would not even be a story on the MSM if they were not beginning to get scared of us, We The People. With Occupy and all the other recent movements they see their lies being layed out for the public. And they are afraid. Now it is up to us to make them go running scared
Again, thank you again all of you for your excellent thoughts and opinions. I am glad to finally be a member of this enlightened community.

I think they are underestimating the numbers. They haven't factored in the 'unorganized' patriots who are ready to stand with the Sovereign citizens and militias if need be.

It's too bad that some of these guys have resorted to violence. It's only served to paint a target on the rest of them.

Is anyone willing to point out how everyday Joe Blow Americans with their semi-automatic weapons would have their asses handed to them by the US Military? They now have over ten years of training and re-configuration of battle tactics to deal with guerrilla warfare and somehow honky town hillbilly rednecks are going to save the day against bunker buster bombs and predator drones. Yeah...right.

Everyday Joe Blow Americans ARE THE US MILITARY. Do you think they are going to drop bunker buster bombs on their friends and families? I don't. They see who gives the orders and who is being pushed around when they come home and take the uniform off. That training is going to come in handy when the government comes looking for them and their kinfolk.

They hate freedom...it is not condusive to their profitability to make decisions....

Be serious folks...my posts will disappear in a day....but for the love of all things good...just be sincere....stop being a stupid consumer and think for a minute....

Freedom will win....it might be bloody and ugly but we all expect freedom...all of us..now wake up...freedom includes pro-choice...if you hate pro choice then die and it won't bother you anymore...loser scum....

Her are a few facts for ya to chew on, phantom:

Members of ALL US Military branches AND Reserves: 2,475,967.
Gun owners in the US: 75,000,000. Keeping in mind that the average gun owner has 4 guns, you can probably double the number of armed citizens in a SHTF scenario.

So... 2,475,000 v. 150,000,000.

Don't forget to subtract the number of soldiers unwilling to disarm or kill US citizens.

Granted, the average gun owner isn't going to have huge stockpiles of ammo, but look at the numbers.

No way is that a fair fight. The military would get THEIR asses handed to THEM.
