Missouri Travel Warning

Missouri Police Wrongfully Target Domestic Terrorist - Ary You One?

By Scott Prentice

Missouri Travel Warning

A local Black Hills businessman who recently brought us this report (which was confirmed as being legitimate) warns all South Dakota residents to stay away from traveling through or to Missouri for fears of being identified as being a domestic terrorist. A recent report sent out to all police and highway patrol departments categorizes harmless U.S. citizens as potential domestic terrorists. Being identified or related to criminal elements are those who are Ron Paul supporters, Chuck Baldwin with the Constitution Party, or Bob Barr. The report goes on to group people who are pro-life or have paraphernalia associated with the Constitution, Campaign for Liberty or believe in the New World Order who President George Bush Sr. talked about in one of his famous speeches.

The Center is described as “the mechanism to collect incident reports of suspicious activities to be evaluated and analyzed in an effort to identify potential trends or patterns of terrorist or criminal operations within the state of Missouri. MIAC will also function as a vehicle for two-way communication between federal, state and local law enforcement community within our region.

The internet buzz went ballistic (pardon the pun) when Missouri Governor Jay Nixon defended the report by stating, “Getting information, especially public information, out of our fusion center out to local law enforcement agencies as we do every day and we’re going to continue to do,” said Nixon. “Any way they take that information and can analyze what the threat levels are is important to make sure the public stays safe.”

"Are we going to get pulled over and ran through the 1st Degree or even arrested for having a Ron Paul sticker or some other offensive display on our cars when we drive through Missouri? I'm not willing to chance it and highly recommend everyone in South Dakota and the surrounding states to take serious caution when headed that way." stated our local friend. Adding, "I think the scariest part is not knowing what they are doing with this information. Maybe they just notice something on your car and then add your license plate numbers to a database is bad enough. It is this type of training and brain washing that leads to civil unrest and makes us all feel very uncomfortable if not fearful of our government."

We are posting the MIAc Report here for you to take what ever measures you feel necessary to make yourself and your family comfortable before traveling to or through Missouri.



(many more images at the linked report)


A letter also came into our office from the Constitution Parties office (attached below) and the fact that the document clearly constitutes libel and defamation has not gone unnoticed by Chuck Baldwin, Ron Paul and Bob Barr, who have agreed to pursue legal action if the report is not withdrawn. One email we received about this report said this:

Letter from the Constitution Party:

Secret Report Targets Americans

Police Told Which Political Beliefs to Consider “Dangerous”


Lancaster, PA: A secret police report targets millions of Americans as potential “domestic terrorists” if they support the Constitution, oppose unlawful taxation, supported 2008 presidential candidates Republican Ron Paul, Libertarian Bob Barr or Constitution Party candidate Chuck Baldwin (Seen here on Lou Dobbs program ), or if they are opposed to abortion, are against unconstitutional gun control, if they display pro-Constitution bumper stickers or own copies of certain books and documentaries.

The report is part of an ongoing attempt by a number of organizations and movements to characterize law-abiding citizens as “white supremacists”, members of “hate groups” or, more recently as “terrorists”.

The report was generated by the Missouri Information Analysis Center

The Center is described as “the mechanism to collect incident reports of suspicious activities to be evaluated and analyzed in an effort to identify potential trends or patterns of terrorist or criminal operations within the state of Missouri. MIAC will also function as a vehicle for two-way communication between federal, state and local law enforcement community within our region.”

The secret report, distributed to Missouri law enforcement, lists as dangerous legitimate organizations including those who follow a Constitutionally-based ideology in regard to states’ rights, firearm ownership, free speech and sanctity of life.

The Constitution Party , the fastest- growing third party, subscribes to the Constitutionally- based, limited role of the federal government and calls on members of all political ideologies to voice strong opposition to smear campaigns that demonize Americans because of their political beliefs.

The Constitution Party made numerous calls to MIAC and was told an “officer” would respond to questions regarding this report.

No one at MIAC returned our calls.

The MIAC report states “rightwing” militia movements “continuously exploit world events in order to increase participation in their movements. Due to the current economical and political situation, a lush environment for militia activity has been created.”

The terms “constitutionalist” and “white supremacist” are often used interchangeably.

Page 7 of the report warns law enforcement that “militia members most commonly associate with 3rd party political groups. It is not uncommon for militia members to display Constitutional [sic] Party, Campaign for Liberty or Libertarian material. These members are usually supporters of former presidential candidate:[sic] Ron Paul Chuck Baldwin and Bob Barr.”

Issues of concern to those listed by MIAC as reason for law enforcement to label them “terrorists” include: Opposition to illegal immigration, implementation of RFID (radio frequency identification) and the planned merger of the US, Canada and Mexico (North American Union). The so-called “militia movement” contains people who own copies of the late Aaron Russo’s anti-tax documentary America: Freedom to Fascism.

Members of a so-called “patriot movement” are described as being “dangerous” to police in a section of the report titled “You Are the Enemy” which states:

“The militia subscribes to an anti-government and NWO mindset, which creates a threat to law enforcement officers. They view the military, National Guard, and law enforcement as a force that will confiscate their firearms and place them in FEMA concentration camps.”

The MIAC report distributed to Missouri law enforcement is a more virulent version of a similar report compiled by the FBI in Phoenix, AZ during the Clinton administration (see page one and page two of the document). The Phoenix FBI document calls “defenders” of the Constitution “right-wing extremists.”

Constitution Party 2008 presidential and vice presidential candidates Chuck Baldwin and Darrell Castle, along with CP National Chairman Jim Clymer, are available to discuss this disturbing report and the severe limitations it seeks to impose on free speech.

Inquiries regarding this secret report may be made to: MIAC at 866 362 6422.

Were you this indignant when it was people of Middle Eastern descent with difficult-to-pronounce names?

Hard to argue that. At all. Whatsoever. Have you looked around the internet and listened to those clowns' rap?

Not really understanding the reason for the citation. Is this supposed to sound outrageous? Aren't there a significant amount of these kooks out there for them to be concerned? After all, they are typically Members of the NRA and own several guns including handguns. At the end of the day, all guns not in the custody of law enforcement officials statistically increases the difficulty and dangerousness of their missions.

From a political perspective, this is sad, funny and ironic all at once. Persons of an essentially Libertarian mindset were quick to throw their lot in with the Republicans'. In exchange for a seat at the table, the Libertarian-minded folk did so partially for the price of signing off on the Republicans' idea of eschewing the ideal of the protection of personal privacy in hope of increased domestic safety. Now the Republicans see this coalition of little value: they feel the reason they did poorly in 2008 was because they didn't adhere to their "core values". The upshot? Their erstwhile political allies are thrown under the bus. Hey, nothing personal: It's just business (a justification they are very comfortable with). Not that any political party is perfect by any stretch. You just have to know who the players are, what's on their mind and decide if you are OK with that.

The whole thing about how white citizens have no likelihood of being domestic terrorists is not realistic. The Branch Davidians, The Montana Freemen, The Unabomber, Tim McVeigh and the other dudes he was involved with, various militant animal rights groups, WTO NWO protesters and on and on. Native-born caucasians. It is also problematic in that it implies Missouri officials should be more concerned about people who look like them and not me.

Geez, isn't anybody else going to comment about what an obvious hoax this is, designed to galvanize the support of gullible members of the fringe elements that the fake report demonizes? Nobody?

Gosh! GarageGuy I thought your logic was impeccable! When we put on our thinking caps to ponder an issue it can give us a bit of clarity and insight if we put ourselves in the others position. Not literally but by looking at it from the other side we can judge better if it's fair or not!!!

I'm glad you posted this .Tom. I saw this the day it came out. I put my Ron Paul bumper sticker on immediately. Luckily Congressman Peter Kinder stepped up and immediately slammed the report as the bullshit that it is. The part about the "3rd Party affiliation" being a link to terrorism when both current parties openly plan to increase the deficit is absolute insanity.

Quote:

I'd like to see the real stats on NRA members who've assaulted police officers with guns. I'd be shocked if it wasn't extremely low. I'd guess the real threat to police follows a clear profile and extremely few legally obtained guns have anything to do with it. Maybe I'm wrong.

We'd need to look at countries that have banned guns to see how it has effected crime and law enforcement. Their is a ban on pot, coke, prostitution, and numerous other goods/acts that seem to flourish. I'd guess the creation of a black market is a bigger threat to law enforcement than your typical deer hunter. I hope I'm not diluting the issue.

I guess we all have different fears. Some of us tend to watch the everyday guy with a few guns and a NRA bumper sticker and view him as a threat. Some of us are more concerned with a bigger picture from our elected leaders. After reading dozens of books on the WW2 era and pre-WW2 era I have to say that I'm more concerned with the latter. Governments plunge economies into turmoil with their meddling. Governments send those with faith in the system off to fight in their Koreas, Vietnams, and Iraqs. Governments crammed people into trains, work camps, and eventually furnaces.


Quote:

It's not an argument. It illustrates that more and more people do not feel represented by the current platforms of our current major political parties.

Quote:

I agree. However, I don't feel that anti-terrorists organizations should have unlimited power. You mentioned the Nazis above. I'd assume that are well up on how the terrorist attack on the Reichstag and the anti-terrorism measures employed by the dieing Weimer Republic allowed the Brownshirt SA to completely demolish the main opposition to the Nazis (not that we liked their opposition either). I guess I'd argue that unbridled "anti-terrorists" groups scare me way more than terrorists. Then again, I do have a couple guns in the closet.

As for the Waco, TX thing it's my understanding that it a weird religious group that wouldn't pay their taxes so the FBI burned their house/church down. Maybe I misunderstood that one.

In the end I think we (society) need to have a major talk about liberty vs security (provided by the government). I think it's safe to say that pendulum has swung entirely too far to the latter. That's my view anyway. I certainly want law enforcement to be able to do their jobs. I just don't want the Gestapo pounding on my door. Luckily, I haven't been given any shit for my bumper sticker. Time will tell.

PS In reality, this notice is essentially nothing when compared to the hyper inflation our popularity contest specialists have set in motion.

Nicely said. Points rather to our country's penchant for assuming "the enemies of our enemies are our friends". There is literally no end to poor foreign policy choices made following this precept.

Are you refering to the fact that this document is a fake and an internet-generated hoax? Thank goodness he shed light on the way clever wingnuts generate support for their fringe positions and recruit like-minded, otherwise non-committed persons. To be blunt: No such document was ever drafted by an official organ of a State government. I mean, just read it; it's ridiculous and written with a clear agenda by someone who barely graduated high school. Kinda reminds you of all the "Obama is a non-citizen Muslim" chain letters sent hither and thither.

We need to seek liberty. There is something terribly wrong and expensive when we jail more people per capita than every country except north korea!!! We need to rethink consensual crime. Get the governments coercion out of the little mans life and protect us from thieves singular, organized or corporate. And from violence to our persons,from other individuals,groups,or nations.About most everthing else ,leave us the fuck alone!!

There are truly a lot of highly desirable ideals in the Libertarian platform. I just don't think it's helpful for some folks running around the internet fabricating such incendiary nonsense.
It seems to dilute to validity of their worthwhile goals.
