Right-Wing American Terrorists Issue YouTube Threat
Sign up to stay up to date on the latest headlines via email.
There is no universally agreed-upon definition of the word "terrorism." As I've often said, the reason it's next to impossible to define the term is that everyone wants it to mean: 'violent acts in the pursuit of political goals with which I disagree.'
That aside, most agree that attempting to influence public officials through a threat of violence is an act of terrorism.
Watch this, from domestic terrorists purporting to be part of the newly re-energized "patriot movement" (it has no audio):
Is this any different than the videos Al Qaeda releases from time to time?
UPDATE: Looks like they took the video down. Here's a description via SPLC:
It advises President Obama and other prominent people (“Our Dear Leader and co.”) to “leave now and give us our country back” and to do so by next week.
“If you stay,” the silent video message continues, “ ‘We, The People’ will systematically dismantle you, destroy you and reclaim what is rightfully ours. …
“We are angry and we are ready to take back the rights of the people. We will fight and We will win. …
“Dead line [sic] for your national response: October 15, 2009
“Thank you to all patriots who support our cause. … Be prepared for when the fateful day of the declaration of war is nationally announced.”

Thanks for posting this Josh, I would have to agree that there is no substantive difference between this and an Al-Qaeda video!

The problem is that like all fanatics they are immune to logic and reason. THe NWO bs has become their religon. These people need to be watched before they can hurt others.

During the Bush years, every random street punk that cops didn't like the look of got picked up "under the Patriot Act". Now that the legitimate government of the US is being overtly threatened, law enforcement great and small is looking out the window, whistling nervously, because they don't want to inflame these people further. If that's not terrorism, I don't know what is.

They used the word "patriot" to describe themselves? Well, my goal is to show them what real patriots look like in numbers so large that they will run in fear - not people waving guns or threatening the lives of our lawfully elected leaders, but rather people who quietly go about their lives until this nation is threatened, either from within or from without; people who want to take part in town halls in a civil manner; people who will not stand down when threats like this appear, but who stand up instead and say "I AM AN AMERICAN AND YOU CANNOT, YOU WILL NOT THREATEN WAR AGAINST ME OR THE GOVERNMENT I ELECTED!
People like those who posted that video are cowards and they have been seen ever since the rise of hate television under Rupert Murdoch and the quasi-dictatorship of Bush and Cheney. The Silent Majority of Americans have dismissed them for years, but now they have tasted "celebrity" and they think that real Americans will not stand up to them. It is time to show them that we will and that we will no longer be told to be afraid or allow our leaders to be cowed into submission.
Join me as I travel across America the end of this month. Go to my website at
Let Freedom Ring.Community
and find out what you can do to help send this message across America. We will stand up, we will be seen, and we will be heard:
I AM AN AMERICAN! YOU WILL INTIMIDATE ME! YOU CANNOT THREATEN ME THAT I WILL NOT STAND UP TO YOU! YOU WILL NOT THREATEN MY NATION WITH YOUR HATE AND YOUR VIOLENCE THAT I WILL NOT STAND UP TO YOU!
I will be posting a video on YouTube today for those of you who want to see who I am and hear what I have to say. You should be able to find it later today by searching under Devon Noll or Let Freedom Ring.Community.
I am leaving on October 18th, three days after their threat expires. Will I meet cowardly traitors like those that posted the video, or will I meet America, strong, proud, and in great numbers? I am not afraid! I AM AN AMERICAN AND WE ARE NOT COWARDS!

Don't fall for this! Keep your eyes on the real issues: The absolute corruption of congress, the ungoing theft of taxpayer wealth by the banksters, and the ongoing wars at the behest of the military-industrial complex.
The First Ammendment extends to reactionary idiots, too. In deference to the late Justice Holmes, this does not amount to yelling "fire!" in a crowded theatre; let them speak their mind.

If any group wants to overthrow the U.S. Government they will also have to defeat the entire U.S. military, kill most of our political leaders (from both parties), defeat the CIA (and all their "Black Ops groups), FBI, Secret Service, and all the other related security apparatus in this country. Oh, I almost forgot. Groups like Blackwater, and others, who are employed by the federal government would also have to be defeated.
Then, they will have to deal with most of the people in the U.S. who don't want their brand of liberty. So, again, the most that these groups will achieve is a little publicity, then, be hunted down, killed or imprisoned. Aside from hearing themselves talk and blowing smoke, there isn't much to them.
Granted, there is a lot to bitch about in this country, but, anyone who joins these groups is inviting disaster into their lives.
But, even if they did "win", then what? Who will be their leader? I know. They will probably fight about it the way the Sunni and Shiite do in the Muslim world. And, the beat goes on...

If you trace history for the last several hundred years, you will find rare left uprisings. You find that the killings, the murder and the wars have been by and for the right. It continues on.
