Recently leaked DHS documents reveal details of a joint DHS and FEMA exercise set to take place this week, which in part revolves around an effort to counter online dissent by a group called “Free Americans Against Socialist Tyranny.”
Of course, the government is most paranoid of libertarian and conservatives that want to reign in their power.
“The U.S. Northern Command mission of Defense Support to Civil Authorities has led to increased activity by some anti-government organizations,” states the document. “Currently, the most vocal organization is Free Americans against Socialist Tyranny; using social media, they advertise anti-U.S. rhetoric focusing on the Department of Defense as well as to recruit like-minded individuals to join their “cause”.
“Free Americans against Socialist Tyranny sympathizers may include both former and current members of the military with training on satellite communications, computer network defense, network operations, as well as military command and control,” the document states.
So they believe that the military is ‘infested’ with freedom loving Americans that don’t like socialist tyranny…let’s hope that their paranoia is well-founded and their assessment underestimated.
Leaked Homeland Security documents obtained by Infowars reveal details of a joint DHS/FEMA national exercise set to take place this week, one of the components of which revolves around an effort to counter online dissent by a group called “Free Americans Against Socialist Tyranny,” which is disgruntled at the imposition of martial law after an earthquake in Alaska.
The document again underscores the federal government’s obsession with characterizing libertarians and conservatives as some kind of extremist radical threat.
The document (PDF) was leaked by an individual affiliated with Stewart Rhodes’ Oathkeepers organization and passed on to Infowars. It is entitled National Exercise Program – Capstone Exercise 2014 – Scenario Ground Truth.
The document is intended for “U.S. Department of Homeland Security Trusted Agents Only” and is “disseminated only on a
need-to-know basis.” Even the role players involved in the exercise itself are prohibited from seeing the files.The exercise is designed to evaluate readiness in preparation for a catastrophic incident, natural disaster or major act of terrorism. Some of the scenarios which will be in play during the exercise include a series of earthquakes, tsunamis and a nuclear weapons accident.
On page 125 of the document, a scenario is outlined whereby a group calling itself “Free Americans against Socialist Tyranny” responds to “The U.S. Northern Command mission of Defense Support to Civil Authorities” (or the imposition of martial law) by launching a protest campaign on social media and potentially engaging in cyber attacks.
According to the scenario, the campaign is driven by suspicion that “the government is responsible for the Alaska earthquake and a “hacktivist” manifesto.”
“The U.S. Northern Command mission of Defense Support to Civil Authorities has led to increased activity by some anti-government organizations,” states the document. “Currently, the most vocal organization is Free Americans against Socialist Tyranny; using social media, they advertise anti-U.S. rhetoric focusing on the Department of Defense as well as to recruit like-minded individuals to join their “cause”.
“While some Free Americans against Socialist Tyranny members are capable of conducting adverse cyber operations, the greatest threat is current government employees sympathetic to their cause,” the document adds. “It is believed that there are employees within US Northern Command, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army, National Guard, and Defense Information Systems Agency that may support Free Americans against Socialist Tyranny doctrine based on individual comments on social media sites. Free Americans against Socialist Tyranny sympathizers may include both former and current members of the military with training on satellite communications, computer network defense, network operations, as well as military command and control.”
The scenario also suggests that Northern Command members sympathetic to Free Americans Against Socialist Tyranny may attempt to hack the North American Aerospace Defense Command as a form of retaliation.
This is by no means the first time that the Department of Homeland Security has characterized anti-big government Americans as domestic extremists.
A study funded by the Department of Homeland Security, details of which emerged in 2012, characterized Americans who are “suspicious of centralized federal authority,” and “reverent of individual liberty” as “extreme right-wing” terrorists.
As we have exhaustively documented on numerous occasions, federal authorities and particularly the Department of Homeland Security have been involved in producing a deluge of literature which portrays liberty lovers and small government advocates as extremist radicals.
The document also mentions the threat posed by “disgruntled military and Department of Defense civilians,” which ties into the talking point, repeatedly promoted by the DHS and other federal agencies, that returning veterans pose a major domestic terror threat.
About time we over throw this government and get back to a true constitutional government.
Freeeeaky!
THEN DSH IS ALL SO SOCIALIST. THEY MUST GO ALSO.
It looks like something may need to be done to control BO Government !!
Uh , what was that I remember ole Hillary Clinton saying about re education camps ? I guess Bronco Bama is beating her out !
We can’t have anyone questioning dear Leader, now, can we… 😛 DHS and FEMA are the enforcement arms of the police state. Papers please… :-X
People we are going to have to open our eyes. Obama is going to do something soon for if the Democrats go into the November election for he knows its going to be bad for the Democrats. A friend tonight told me what he through Obama would do, and I have always said that something like this would happen. Obama is being backed into a corner and at some time before the election Obama will fine a reason to declare Marshal Law then he can go after all the peoples guns and then he would not leave the office but as long as we are in Marshal Law Obama will remain in as our Dictator and if we the people don’t do as we are told then we will be put into a FEMA camp like the SS troops did , there they will most likely be killed because I know if they kill our own baby’s I know they would kill troublemakers . Onama is running in fear for he knows he will be impeached of the Republicans and the tea party gets in he’s history . I and thousands of other gun will not let this happen without a fight , We have people training every day to stand up to the ones that try to take our guns and shells . WE WILL FIGHT TO OUR LAST BREATH TO PROTECT OUR FAMILY’S AND OUR NATION . GOD BLESS AMERICIA
DHS needs to be disbanded – as far as I am concerned they are the Department of Homeland INSECURITY – it is full of jihadists and needs to be dismantled or at least purged of our enemies
the dhs will soon have their day
Let’s all take special notice of any person or govt institution which is involved in betraying the rights and freedoms of Americans!
