THE SHOE ON THE OTHER LEFT FOOT

Leftwing extremism in the United States can be broadly divided into those groups, movements, and adherents that are primarily hate-oriented (based on hatred of particular religious, racial or ethnic groups), and those that are mainly anti-Constitutional, rejecting state or local authority in favor of federal or even UN authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as promoting abortion or the complete dissolution of our borders.

Leftwing extremists are harnessing this historical election as a recruitment tool. Many leftwing extremists were antagonistic toward the previous presidential administration and its perceived stance on a range of issues, including immigration and citizenship, the expansion of social programs to minorities, and restrictions on firearms ownership and use. Leftwing extremists are increasingly galvanized by these concerns and leverage them as drivers for recruitment. From the 2008 election timeframe to the present, leftwing extremists have capitalized on related racial and political prejudices in expanded propaganda campaigns, thereby reaching out to a wider audience of potential sympathizers.

Leftwing extremist chatter on the Internet continues to focus on the economy, the perceived loss of U.S. jobs in the manufacturing and construction sectors, and home foreclosures. Anti-Semitic extremists attribute these losses to a deliberate conspiracy conducted by a cabal of Jewish “financial elites.” These “accusatory” tactics are employed to draw new recruits into leftwing extremist groups and further radicalize those already subscribing to extremist beliefs. DHS/I&A assesses this trend is likely to accelerate if the economy is perceived to worsen.

Over the past five years, various leftwing extremists, including terror cells and brown supremacists, have adopted the immigration issue as a call to action, rallying point,
and recruiting tool. Debates over appropriate immigration levels and enforcement policy generally fall within the realm of protected political speech under the First Amendment, but in some cases, pro-immigration or strident anti-enforcement fervor has been directed against specific groups and has the potential to turn violent.

DHS/I&A assesses that leftwing extremists will attempt to recruit and radicalize returning veterans in order to exploit their skills and knowledge derived from military training and combat. These skills and knowledge have the potential to boost the capabilities of extremists—including lone wolves or small terrorist cells—to carry out violence. The willingness of a small percentage of military personnel to join extremist groups during the 1990s because they were disgruntled, disillusioned, or suffering from the psychological effects of war is being replicated today.

DHS/I&A will be working with its state and local partners over the next several months to ascertain with greater regional specificity the rise in leftwing extremist activity in the United States, with a particular emphasis on the political, economic, and social factors that drive leftwing extremist radicalization.

How will you know this dangerous and unpatriotic leftwing extremism? Look for danger signs like these:

* smearing veterans as dangerous while releasing terrorists into the USA
* forcing Americans to pay for the aborting of foreign babies
* takeovers of entire indutries by the government
* billions of taxpayer dollars to fund a private army of permanent paid “volunteer” campaign workers
* the seizure of radio stations by subterfuge to silence political opponents
* violence and intimidation by the losers of state traditional marriage propositions
* allowing uncontrolled illegal immigration while targeting those who enforce the law
* expanding every questionable function of the government except its unquestionable primary function: national defense, which would be slashed

and finally,

*you’ll recognize leftwing extremism when government departments adopt the standards of banana republics and start putting out hack propaganda documents just in time for the Tea Parties, demonizing half the citizenry as potential Enemies of the State.

If you should see any of this, report it to Homeland Security at once!
