Are you a conservative, a libertarian, a Christian or a gun owner? Are you opposed to abortion, globalism, Communism, illegal immigration, the United Nations or the New World Order? Do you believe in conspiracy theories, do you believe that we are living in the “end times” or do you ever visit alternative news websites (such as this one)?
If you answered yes to any of those questions, you are a “potential terrorist” according to official U.S. government documents.
At one time, the term “terrorist” was used very narrowly. The government applied that label to people like Osama bin Laden and other Islamic jihadists. But now the Obama administration is removing all references to Islam from terror training materials, and instead the term “terrorist” is being applied to large groups of American citizens.

Whew! Thank goodness, I'm safe.
It's pretty clear the US government has succumbed to there innate paranoia. They really need to see a psychiatrist or something.
All nations have an ideology, something in which they believe. When a politicalideology falls outside the norms of a society, it is known as extremism. Whenextremists take their ideology to the next level and believe that it is the only rightideology to follow, it becomes supremism.2.
Ideology
– A set of political beliefs about the nature of people and society; an organized collection of ideas about the best and most appropriate way to live.3.
Extremism
– A term used to describe the actions or ideologies of individuals or groupswho take a political idea to its limits, regardless of unfortunate repercussions, and showintolerance toward all views other than their own.4.
Extremist
– A person who advocates the use of force or violence; advocates supremacistcauses based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, or national origin; or otherwise engagesto illegally deprive individuals or groups of their civil rights.5.
Supremism
– The belief that a particular race, religion, gender, species, belief system, or culture is superior to others and entitles those who identify with it to dominate, control, or rule those who do not. A person who believes that a certain group is or should besupreme is a
supremacist

It seems very real, as we have seen a complete 180 degree turnaround in general thinking and propaganda patterns over the last 5 or 6 years especially.
Encyclopedia of Sociology Volume 1, Macmillan Publishing Company, New York
By Richard J. Ofshe, Ph.D.
Coercive persuasion and thought reform are alternate names for programs of social influence capable of producing substantial behavior and attitude change through the use of coercive tactics, persuasion, and/or interpersonal and group-based influence manipulations (Schein 1961; Lifton 1961). Such programs have also been labeled "brainwashing" (Hunter 1951), ...these programs are distinguishable from other elaborate attempts to influence behavior and attitudes, to socialize, and to accomplish social control. Their distinguishing features are their totalistic qualities (Lifton 1961), the types of influence procedures they employ, and the organization of these procedures into three distinctive subphases of the overall process (Schein 1961; Ofshe and Singer 1986). The key factors that distinguish coercive persuasion from other training and socialization schemes are:
The reliance on intense interpersonal and psychological attack to destabilize an individual's sense of self to promote compliance
1. The use of an organized peer group
2. Applying interpersonal pressure to promote conformity
3. The manipulation of the totality of the person's social environment to stabilize behavior once modified
Thought-reform programs have been employed in attempts to control and indoctrinate individuals, societal groups (e.g., intellectuals), and even entire populations....The individuals to whom these influence programs were applied were in some cases unwilling subjects (prisoner populations) and in other cases volunteers who sought to participate in what they believed might be a career-beneficial, educational experience (Lifton 1981, p. 248).
Significant differences existed between the social environments and the control mechanisms employed in the two types of programs initially studied. Their similarities, however, are of more importance in understanding their ability to influence behavior and beliefs than are their differences. They shared the utilization of coercive persuasion's key effective-influence mechanisms: a focused attack on the stability of a person's sense of self; reliance on peer group interaction; the development of interpersonal bonds between targets and their controllers and peers; and an ability to control communication among participants... Schein noted that even for prisoners, what happened was a subjection to "unusually intense and prolonged persuasion" that they could not avoid; thus, "they were coerced into allowing themselves to be persuaded" (Schein 1961, p. 18)....
Climate change negotiations are not just about the global environment but global economics as well — the way that technology, costs and growth are to be distributed and shared..
Can we do that without questioning radically the Western way of life?..
The reality is that, so far, we have largely failed to articulate a clear and compelling vision of why a new global order matters ...Half a century ago, those who designed the post-war system — the United Nations, the Bretton Woods system, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) — were deeply influenced by the shared lessons of history.
All had lived through the chaos of the 1930s — when turning inwards led to economic depression, nationalism and war. All, including the defeated powers, agreed that the road to peace lay with building a new international order — and an approach to international relations that questioned the Westphalian, sacrosanct principle of sovereignty...
...In America, the protection of property rights is placed alongside life and liberty.
Yet, there is a worldwide view shared by many of our leaders who see private property ownership as selfish and destructive to the "common good." They believe that property is a big piece of the "pie" that needs to be redistributed.
Why should this be important to you? Slaves in countries all over the world were kept from owning property in an effort to control them.
The answer to this nationwide threat is to be informed of the end goals of "fundamental changes" for America.
The United Nations (U.N.) 1976 Vancouver Declaration stated, "Land ... cannot be treated as an ordinary asset, controlled by individuals and subject to the pressures and inefficiencies of the market. Private land ownership is also a principal instrument of accumulation and concentration of wealth, therefore (it) contributes to social injustice."
The U.N. Resolution for Sustainable Development (Agenda 21) was accepted worldwide in 1992.
Consider the following facts.
-- In 1992, President George H.W. Bush signed the document and pledged to adopt the goals of Agenda 21.
-- In 1993, President Clinton signed Executive Order 12852 to create the President's Council on Sustainable Development (Agenda 21).
-- The result is that Agenda 21 is now emerging as government policy across our nation.
-- The U.N.'s chief mechanism for advancing the plan through local governments is a group called ICLEI -- formerly known as the International Council of Local Environmental Initiatives. Harvey Ruvin, vice chairman, ICLEI, said, "Individual rights will have to take a back seat to the collective." articles.petoskeynews.com...
Your government is a corporatocracy, a new authoritarian state in the process of consolidating your output into a more controllable, exploitable channel. The reason you are being misled by your government and told that all of this is good for you, is because there is no profit in managing a mass uprising. It is too disruptive. The markets want you to continue to consume---quietly and obediently...
