Think Tank Warns of Anti-federalists in U.S.
The Washington Times has the full story:
The report issued this week by the Combating Terrorism Center at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y., is titled “Challengers from the Sidelines: Understanding America’s Violent Far-Right.â€
The center — part of the institution where men and women are molded into Army officers — posted the report Tuesday. It lumps limited government activists with three movements it identifies as “a racist/white supremacy movement, an anti-federalist movement and a fundamentalist movement.â€

Avoiding the Wars That Never End
“Avoiding the Wars That Never End is republished with permission of Stratfor.”
By George Friedman
Founder and Chief Executive Officer
Last week, U.S. President Barack Obama announced that the United States would transfer the primary responsibility for combat operations in Afghanistan to the Afghan military in the coming months, a major step toward the withdrawal of U.S. forces. Also last week, France began an intervention in Mali designed to block jihadists from taking control of the country and creating a base of operations in France’s former African colonies.
The two events are linked in a way that transcends the issue of Islamist insurgency and points to a larger geopolitical shift. The United States is not just drawing down its combat commitments; it is moving away from the view that it has the primary responsibility for trying to manage the world on behalf of itself, the Europeans and its other allies. Instead, that burden is shifting to those who have immediate interests involved. Read the rest of this entry »

Al Qaida Takes BP Facility in Algeria, Takes American Hostages

From the Washington Post:
Algerian forces have surrounded the complex and the state news agency reported a bit more than 20 people were being held, including Americans, Britons, Norwegians, French and Japanese, citing the local authorities.
State and Local Officials Won’t Enforce Gun Laws
From Fox News:
But in Oregon, Linn County Sheriff Tim Mueller wrote a letter to Biden Monday saying his department will not enforce any new gun laws it considers unconstitutional.
Meanwhile, 1200 WOAI reports that in Texas, Republican state Rep. Steve Toth plans to introduce a bill that would make it illegal to enforce in the state any federal laws restricting semi-automatic firearms or the size of gun magazines.
Kentucky Sheriff explains his views here.
Steganography
Posted by Brian in News, Threat Watch on 16/Jan/2013 08:44
Article from SOFREP about how terrorist organizations are hiding and transmitting information:
In the digital world the most common form of steganography is embedding information in media files. Media files are rather large, so a little data padding isn’t as noticeable. They are also created with layers of information, which allows the embedding of other data into a layer, and keeps it obscured behind preceding layers – kind of like slipping a tiny, extra piece of cheese into a dagwood sandwich.
Rob Bowman, Warrior, Passes Away
From: Michael Yon
SFC Bowman shades his commander’s eyes after he was shot in Iraq.
15 January 2013
The United States has lost a great Soldier and fine man to cancer. Rob struggled with the disease for about 20 months before passing yesterday. It is with great sorrow that I write these words.
In combat, Rob was courageous and tactically expert. I got to know him in the Deuce Four battalion in Iraq, where Rob was recon platoon sergeant.
Emotional Liberals Pass Gun Legislation in New York
Posted by Brian in Law, News, Threat Watch on 15/Jan/2013 17:22
The state of New York doesn’t deserve to have the Statue of Liberty. They no longer know what the word liberty means. I have suggested to a few friends, that we need to find a liberty loving billionaire, and just take the statue from them.
From the Washington Times:
Current owners of a now-certified “high capacity ammunition feeding device†— over 7 rounds — will have one year to sell or give them away out of state or face a class A misdemeanor charge. Dealers will have to start recording every ammunition sale with the buyer’s name, age, occupation and residence.
Gun retailers will have to record for the state police every sale that involves a firearm. The seller will have to record the buyer’s name,  age,  occupation and home address, along with the calibre, make, model, manufacturer’s name and serial number.
Texas Proposal: JAIL Any Federal Officials Trying to Enforce New Gun Restrictions in the State
Posted by Gary in Law, News, Threat Watch on 15/Jan/2013 14:16
From: WOAI
A Texas lawmaker says he plans to file the Firearms Protection Act, which would make any federal laws that may be passed by Congress or imposed by Presidential order which would ban or restrict ownership of semi-automatic firearms or limit the size of gun magazines illegal in the state, 1200 WOAI news reports./blockquote>
We Are The First-Responders, We Are The Guardians
Posted by Gary in Law, News, Threat Watch on 15/Jan/2013 09:37
Two conclusions from the 9-11 Commission Report that always stand out in my mind are;
- From now on, the first-responders are going to be ordinary citizens.
- Many of the failures leading up to 9-11 were the result of a lack of imagination.
Below is an essay from a School Superintendent in rural Texas who has taken those lessons to heart. The result is something he calls the “Guardian Plan”.
From: David Thweatt, Special to CNN
Good parents protect their children. We protect them from the wind, sun, fire, cold, sickness, from animals, harmful philosophy, other children, predatory adults, injury when possible, their own faulty reasoning and anything else that we see as a dangerous risk to their health and well-being. They are the future, and they are precious.
At the Harrold Independent School District in Texas, we believe we’ve done everything possible to protect our children. We use cameras, electronic security and emergency plans, and some of our staff members are armed.
