Wednesday September the 9th many local citizens, law enforcement officials and myself testified before the MIAC (Missouri Information Analysis Center) Interim Missouri House Committee. Many of us expressed our concern of political profiling by the MIAC Fusion Centers. The report profiled Christians, 2nd Amendment supporters, Libertarians, Ron Paul supporters, small government supporters and many other conservative groups as possible extreme militia supporters. To our amazement...
It is wrong though that these law enforcement officials support profiling law abiding citizens which in turn coerces people from practicing their 1st and 4th Amendment rights.
Beware when thinking about putting that bumper sticker on you car or you to will be on MIAC's list.

Really, seriously, I doubt this thread holds much water at all. The only abuse I see in the Patriot Act being continued is the people that are being watched are the ones who do not want to pay taxes. These potential terrorist are ticked off about their overseas accounts being audited. Those tax dodgers will do anything, write any story and twist it to get people to believe the government wants to persecute poor people to get them to line up behind them. This kind of thread sickining. Shame.

ALIPAC is issuing a national advisory to all local, state, and Federal law enforcement agencies and officers, along with all DHS Fusion Centers, a warning against any reliance upon faulty and politicized research issued by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and Anti Defamation League (ADL).
A national scandal emerged in Missouri, after their MIAC Fusion Center issued an eight page document which made many false claims. The documents attempted to politicize police and cast suspicion on millions of Americans. The 'Missouri Documents', as they came to be called, listed over 32 characteristics police should watch for as signs or links to domestic terrorists, which could threaten police officers, court officials, and infrastructure targets.
Police were instructed to look for Americans who were concerned about unemployment, taxes, illegal immigration, gangs, border security, abortion, high costs of living, gun restrictions, FEMA, the IRS, The Federal Reserve, and the North American Union/SPP/North American Community. The 'Missouri Documents' also said potential domestic terrorists might like gun shows, short wave radios, combat movies, movies with white male heroes, Tom Clancey Novels, and Presidential Candidates Ron Paul, Bob Barr, and Chuck Baldwin!

Source (get ready...) Southern Poverty Law Center!
In case you don't know who this gang is, it is a leftie lawyer named Morris Dees and his radical commie staff in Birmingham, Alabama, who make their millions by "watching" the KKK and other groups, then writing newsletters and selling subscriptions to the gullible. Dees raises money through fear tactics and dumps all his "intelligence reports" on law enforcement, FBI, DOJ, and all news agencies
The Southern Poverty Law Center was cited as a research source for the 'Missouri Documents'. Furthermore, the attempt of these documents to cast suspicion of violent and life threatening behavior on millions of Americans who are concerned about these issues is consistent with the regularly released political materials of both the SPLC and ADL.
Since the SPLC was listed as a source in the MIAC Missouri Documents, ALIPAC sent a letter of inquiry to the Missouri Governor Jay Nixon on March 20, 2009 asking for more specific sourcing information.
