Boy Scouts Now Training To Fight Terrorist

Fighting for Freedom
5/15/2009

Yesterday, the New york Times did an article entitled "Scouts Train to Fight Terrorists, and More" in how the Border Patrol, which is a part of the DHS (Department of Homeland Security,) are now training teenagers in whats called The Explorer program, a coeducational affiliate of the Boy Scouts of America that began 60 years ago, to fight such things as as a "disgruntled Iraq war veteran," who in the fake scenario had "already taken out two people," with one covered in blood on the floor.

I don't know about you, but when I was in the Boy Scouts in the late 70's, I remember such things as cutting from a block of wood, a race car, from which we would race. However, now we have the Government teaching kids skills "used to confront terrorism, illegal immigration and escalating border violence," with Border agents telling these kids how to quite a unruly lookout saying, "Put him on his face and put a knee in his back, I guarantee that he’ll shut up.”

A few weeks ago the DHS had a intelligence report called "Right wing extremism" leaked to the public that was to only be for law enforcement and subject to no FOIA, which as the scenario above pointed out, called returning men and women from Iraq as "potential terrorist" among others like pro-1st amendment, pro-second amendment, anti-abortionist and any one who had a Ron Paul bumper sticker on their car and a firm grip on the Constitution as also being a possible Timothy McVeigh.

Before that DHS report was leaked, another report called the MIAC report was uncovered, from which it equates also anyone who is “anti-government,” “anti-abortion,” or who enjoy rifle shooting practice and hunting as being potential terrorist.

If my memory serves me correctly, the DHS primary responsibilities is protecting the territory of the U.S. from terrorist attacks and responding to natural disasters. However, for a while now the DHS has put its efforts in not finding AlQuada terrorist, but, in fact turning their efforts and focus on the American people with such things as last year for instance with DHS giving the Shively Police Department a $39,000 grant to buy a scanner that scans 1,500 license plates a min. I don't know about you, but I don't believe that AlQuada will be driving around Shively in a car that has expired tags or for that matter, has a outstanding warrant.
We have the DHS calling and going to a toy store in St.Helen's Ore. and confronting the owner Stephanie Cox over a toy called the Magic Cube, which he (one of the agents) said was an illegal copy of the Rubik's Cube, one of the most popular toys of all time from which to remove the toy from the shelves (to keep America safe from terrorist of course). This was reported by the AP in 2004.
We also have the DHS spying on American activist from which 53 men and women including 2 Catholic nuns a Democratic candidate for Congress, a man who campaigns against military recruiting at high schools and one person who has never set foot in the state were wrongly classified as terrorist by the Maryland State Police and their names and information were put into a state and Federal database that tracks terrorism suspects.

If you noticed, I'm speaking of the DHS in both the Bush Adm. and the Obama Adm., so this is not a political assault of a certain party but an observation that the left-right paradigm is alive and well and you, the American citizen, are in the cross hairs as far as DHS is concerned, no matter what Party, Democrat or Republican, is in office.
