The FBI has put out another warning about extremists who threaten our nation’s security, but strangely enough, it’s not Muslim extremists who’ve been rather active the last few years. rather it’s those “anti-government” terrorists, you know – the folks who don’t trust government. I don’t know many of those people, do you? (Reuters<\/a> link)<\/p>\n

Anti-government extremists opposed to taxes and regulations pose a growing threat to local law enforcement officers in the United States, the FBI warned on Monday.<\/p>\n

These extremists, sometimes known as “sovereign citizens,” believe they can live outside any type of government authority, FBI agents said at a news conference.<\/p>\n

The extremists may refuse to pay taxes, defy government environmental regulations and believe the United States went bankrupt by going off the gold standard.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Oh, wait, maybe I do know some of those people…in fact I might be one of them given these clarifications.<\/p>\n

Legal convictions of such extremists, mostly for white-collar crimes such as fraud, have increased from 10 in 2009 to 18 each in 2010 and 2011, FBI agents said.<\/p>\n

“We are being inundated right now with requests for training from state and local law enforcement on sovereign-related matters,” said Casey Carty, an FBI supervisory special agent.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Whew, law enforcement is being mobbed by 18 whole people across the country. But that’s up from 10 people the year before, so there’s definitely something to be concerned about.<\/p>\n

Sovereign members often express particular outrage at tax collection, putting Internal Revenue Service employees at risk.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, no real Americans are at risk?<\/p>\n

So we’ve got local law enforcement worried about veterans and now errant tax payers. Next the FBI will be warning us that puppies want to bite our ankles.<\/p>\n
