Nazi Tactics

The article below is from a Missouri newspaper. The governor of that state is defending a new policy that teaches profiling of possible domestic terrorists. Much of what I have been seeing lately reminds me of reading statements by older Germans who settled here after WWII. They have been telling us that they saw the same political climate and social apathy when Hitler was coming to power. Remember the story of the frog in the boiling water? Well, if someone pulled a frog out before it died, and later the frog found itself again in water heating up, it would probably start croaking and hop out. The frogs are croaking. Are those of us who are going through the heating up process for the first time going to listen to them?
New militia movement draws criticism
A new document by The Missouri Information Analysis Center meant to help identify militia members or domestic terrorists has drawn criticism.
A report entitled “The Modern Militia Movement” tells law enforcement agencies to look for red flags-which can include talk of conspiracy theories, possession of subversive literature. Even political bumper stickers for third-party candidates are part of the movement.
Critics say it appears to give officials a green light to stifle political thought.
“So that’s going to set up a dangerous situation where a police officer maybe stops a car a sees a bumper sticker and automatically has a prejudgment that this person is going to be dangerous to them,” said Libertarian Party Member Tamara Millay.
Gov. Nixon addressed criticism of the report yesterday and defended the agency that produced it.
“Getting information, especially public information, out of our fusion center out to local law enforcement agencies is 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.”
State law enforcement officials say the report is being misinterpreted.
Lt. John Hotz of the highway patrol says the report contains publicly available trend data on militias.

Third party candidates like Ron Paul and Bob Barr are shocked to learn that their bumper stickers will be a red-flag to Missouri police. Below are some of the things police are being taught to watch for:
Police are educated in the document that people are are anti-abortion, own gold, display an assortment of U.S. flags, or even those that talk about the film Zeitgeist, view the police as their “enemy” and conflates them with domestic terrorists like Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh, Olympic bomber Eric Rudolph and other domestic militia groups who have been charged with plotting terrorist attacks.
