(Reuters) – Anti-government extremists opposed to taxes and regulations pose a growing threat to local law enforcement officers in the United States, the FBI warned on Monday.
These extremists, sometimes known as “sovereign citizens,” believe they can live outside any type of government authority, FBI agents said at a news conference.
The extremists may refuse to pay taxes, defy government environmental regulations and believe the United States went bankrupt by going off the gold standard.
Routine encounters with police can turn violent “at the drop of a hat,” said Stuart McArthur, deputy assistant director in the FBI’s counterterrorism division.
“We thought it was important to increase the visibility of the threat with state and local law enforcement,” he said.

This is just the beginning. The FBI will have their hands full if Obama get’s re-elected I can honestly tell the world that. There are more groups beside’s those the FBI is bring up, I know of groups everyday that are on the way of getting together to start their training on the mission they have been given by those who are in command. Obama has opened up a can of worms, and if he is again reelected there is going to be more than the FBI alone will be able to handle.
It is a tragic thing that our Federal Government is going this route to silence the masses of law abiding people in the United States. Take away our freedoms and our guns to protect ourselves from the very authority is what the founding fathers told us “could” happen to us if one branch of the government got bigger than the two others. This is the state we are in right now and there is no turning back.
Regular citizens are preparing for the Federal government to come down on them. Bottom up, Top down says Obama’s Communist Czar. This time in history could play out as the bloodiest battle between We The People and this nations security forces, who should, by the way, protecting the citizens of the United States, however, they will be cracking down on us.
I really don’t think the FBI wants to get between themselves and us this time. Back when it was between the British rule and the people, they mostly used swords and knives, but everyone I have known has at least one assault rifle and loads of hand guns and tons of ammo. More sophisticated men and women have the high tech stuff to defend themselves.
Most people are not sitting around waiting for the FBI to show up in black SUV’s and crashing their home doors in to arrest them. There are literally hundreds of thousands of block watches where people are looking out for one another and are armed to the hilt. They had better bring and Army of agents with them this time because they will need it. Many of these people who live in homes are recent or past soldiers in the armed forces and know what to expect this time. They are highly trained and know how to use many different types of weaponry.
So, I really think the Federal Government better think again before they take on a nation of angry people. If they think they could subdue the people, they will try…but die trying is not a very noble thing to attempt..
Meanwhile, most law abiding citizens such as myself with pay my taxes and stay inside the grounds of the law, respecting everyone’s natural rights to exist, but if and when I am forced to stay my ground because and out of control government comes on my turf with no reason or cause….there will be allot of blood flying around..Most Christians are not afraid to die if they know where they are going afterward. So, we will die fighting for our freedoms and taking the lives of those who disrespect us. So, if you are an FBI or CIA agent or a law enforcement officer of any particular status, you had better know what you are getting yourself into because you won’t have a good life ahead of you if you are a part of the TOP DOWN action of the American people…
yES THE NWO MOTTO IS “oUT OF cHAOS oRDER”.
tHIS WHOLE DIRECTION THE SCUM HAVE TAKEN CAN RESULT IN NOTHING BUT CIVIL WAR EVENTUALLY.
tHEY BELIEVE THEY CAN TAKE CONTROL OF THE WORLD IF THEY JUST GET EVERYONE IN A TURMOIL AND DECLARE mARSHALL lAW.
tHEY HAVE NEVER FIGURED ON HOW THE JUDGEMENTS OF GOD AND A BLOOD THIRSTY POPULACE MADDENED BY THEIR GOV’T'S AGGRAVATION WILL TURN ON THEM.
nO WONDER THEY BUILD THEMSELVES HOLES IN THE EARTH TO CRAWL INTO LIKE THE RATS THEY ARE,. tHEY WILL NEED THEM.
I just love how the article made sure to mention “These extremists, sometimes known as “sovereign citizens. . .”
Can you smell M A N I P U L A T I O N? The govt has become so anti-American and corrupt that they think they can still manipulate us with their BS stories. You know, always keep the people in fear, play out a really bizarre scenario. After all, we’ve got the MSM to support us on all of this.
Geeeesh, not working any more you gutless, commie lovers! And, as for all of you in the MSM, your nothing but TRASH! You’ve sold out your country a long time ago. Still enjoying those paychecks you’re getting? Good, enjoy them while you can, because if this country does go down to the like of Obama’s Marxist/Communist ideology, your really gonna love the freedoms you’ll have MSM! You work for the devil, and the devil WILL consume you. You are not his friend. So, you’re being manipulated just like you’re trying to do to us. You’re just to damn evil and stupid to realize what a bunch of sh*t you’ve created and jumped into. ENJOY!
They have been working hard at this since Obama became president. They call Tea Party grandmas and grandpas, Moms and Dads terrorists, and the real jihadist terrorists ‘disgruntled employees’. It is Obama’s promise he made in Germany when he was campaigning. He told the Germans he wanted a one world government with a world army to enforce the laws. He has to start here. I hope this imposter gets thrown out of the WH but I fear we might have him another four years. If we do, expect things to get stranger than they are.
If we could organize enough folks to short their fed and state returns by only $5.00, the associated agencies would simply be overwhelmed.
There is nothing more Extreme than a government always attempting to Control the populas with fear mongering, a compliant MSM, and unlawful raids. This government is the same type of Totalitarian government our founding fathers opposed that made our nation free from the British Ruling elites, it is the same type of government that the Jewish people experienced in 1930 NAZI Germany and the Chinese people experienced with their dictator through out the years, the North Koreans have also experienced this type of Control of their people.When the people fear their government there is Tyranny, but when the government fears their people there is Liberty. It is time for the Government to fear the people. The people need to put their petty differences aside and group together in defense of one another from the Government Agents. The Courts are worthless because they only work to benefit the government. We must rely on one another for protection of each othjer’s liberty and freedom from the Government.
This is a ploy from the government to start exercising CONTROL over whom ever they decide. Why don’t they confront the illegal in the WH and challenge his sovereignty? Ask him for his Birth Certificate, his past employment records, if he has any. Was it the Arabs that paid for his college falsehoods? When is the FBI, CIA, Secret Service, the Military or Congress going to fulfill their OATHS that they all took and challenge this FAKE??? Obumwad, you haven’t fooled mrshinola. (I know the difference between shoe polish & obumwad)
The comment regarding people at the top going into the ground for safety reminds me of a story I heard about the Japs in WWII. Americans overrun the Japs in underground bunkers then offered them an opportunity to surrender. After a few days of trying to get them to come out the Americans just welded the doors shut and left. They are still in their holes.
Being underground is a trap and anything can happen. The shifting of tectonic plates and earthquakes could destroy the tunnels, and also open pathways for molten lava and gas. Underground rivers and lakes could empty into the tunnels and drown them like rats. Patriots will find ALL their tunnels and air supplies (if they haven’t already), and they will know what to do with them.
So go ahead, bury yourself as deep as you want.
