Shouldn’t Obama Bomb a Domestic Terrorist Outfit Allegedly More Dangerous than Islamist Jihadis?

The West Virginia state police recently arrested a 21-year-old
with explosives in his SUV, reports
the Charleston Gazette. And why is this the least bit interesting
besides the fact that he apparently had live chicken right next to
AK 47-style guns in his trunk?

Because he belongs to an outfit called Sovereign Citizen (not to
be confused with Sovereign Society, a publishing company that
offers investment advise) that state and local enforcement
officials around the country polled by University of Maryland’s
National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to
Terrorism rate as the Number One terrorist threat in the United
States today, ranking above Islamic terrorists and jihadis. (A 2007 version of the same study, cite
the group as the seventh greatest potential threat.)

So what makes this group so dangerous?

One reason is that it lacks organization, one official told the
Gazette. “There’s not one ultimate organization that represents all
of these groups. In the United States, most of them are small
groups, so they’re not really organized,” he said. “Most groups
have a leader you can go to and sit down and talk things out.”

If this doesn’t make it Al Qaeda’s American doppelganger then I
don’t know what does!

Another reason is that it has
100,000 hardcore and
300,000 total members, which, not only makes it the largest
“domestic terrorist movement,” as per the FBI, but also many times
bigger than the 20- to 30,000-strong ISIS.

But what makes the group really dangerous is not that it is
based on the Al Qaeda cell model and is bigger than ISIS, but that
it is an “anti-government” extremist outfit that considers all
forms of government taxation and regulation illegitimate. Its

members don’t pay taxes, carry a driver’s license or hold a
Social Security card.

A few of them have gone “postal” in encounters with authorities.
But by and large the group’s main form of resistance,
according to the FBI, is that it impersonates judges and tries
to extort money from the U.S. Treasury Department. How? Sayeth
FBI:

“It files legitimate IRS and Uniform Commercial Code forms for
illegitimate purposes, believing that doing so correctly will
compel the U.S. Treasury to fulfill its debts, such as credit card
debts, taxes, and mortgages…These activities create a voluminous
influx of documents that clog the courts and other government
agencies.”

Expect Obama to launch an aerial bombing campaign any moment
now. If ever a group was asking for one, this is it!
