the fbi needs to start cracking down on extremists in texas. i no longer live in the usa. I was persecuted, followed, attacked, set up and they tried to kill me a few times. they got started i think by the cala organization. The fbi needs to take a look at cala in texas and anywhere else they are.

After reading the article I read the comments that were posted on that site. With the exception of one, they were all from people who are either ignorant of, or sympathetic to, the sovereign citizen movement. I was amazed at the ignorance shown.
This just proves to me that the “sovereign citizens” movement will go unnoticed by anyone but the law enforcement officers who get gunned down when they try to pull one of them over or try to serve a lawful warrant on one of them.
The fact that many of them are convicted felons in possession of firearms should tell people something.
I read the lengthy “manifesto” of this group here on Hatewatch some time ago and found the logic of the “sovereign citizen” movement is as convoluted as a pretzel on a mobius strip. Basically, they just want a license (pun intended) to violate any law they don’t want to obey.
I do have a suggestion as to how these people should be treated. Since they have declared that they are not citizens of the United States of America, I suggest that they be deported as undocumented immigrants. To what country, I have no idea, but just put them out of the country at the international border of their choice and refuse re-entry without a visa. At the very least, they should be put on every watch list there is, and refused travel on any commercial carrier in the country since they refuse to carry any kind of valid identification.
And my plea to any law enforcement officers who attempt to arrest or serve warrants on these people is that they should be backed up by SWAT, ATF, FBI, or whatever agency can provide for the safety of these officers.

Marty, it all sounds good but you are forgetting that if you read between the lines of The Constitution it clearly states as long as your peaceful you can be as stupid as you want to be. Now this doesn’t mean you can go around threatening or carrying guns or shooting at people just that lock up the crazy ones let the peaceful wander aimlessly.

Isn’t this the same FBI that shot Randy Weaver’s wife, son and dog? Isn’t this the same FBI that burned 80 people to death at Waco? Wasn’t this the same tyranny that sparked our revolution and subsequently our freedom? I’m not a fan of “soveriegn citizens” but none of them ever shot my wife, son or dog and I have never seen one run a tank into an occupied building and set it on fire.
Wake up, lefties.

The FBI should be “cacking down” on its own organization. Beyond any argument, the FBI is the nation’s top domestic terrorist organization. If you look at these pathetic right wing domestic terrorist idiots and their Islamic colleagues’ efforts to kill Americans, they’re almost *always* organized, funded, planned, and egged on by FBI terrorists.
One could easily eliminate 70% of the FBI, its people, it’s budgest, its offices and other assets and not adversely impact law enforcement or health and safety one iota.
If the FBI were to stick to actual crimes without fishing for Christanic or Islamic extremists to egg on, fund, provide equipment, organization, ideas, and planning, the FBI would have no need for some 70% of its people and assets.
As it is, the FBI commits treason and terrorism and America as a means to justify its growing budgets and its own right-wing extremist ideologies against America.

Oh, I also find it somewhat ioronic that a FOX “News” web site is reporting on right wing domestic Christian terrorists. The FOX network is the Republican propaganda media arm that advocates terrorism and treason against America, and there’s some irony in a FOX affilliate reportong on FBI efforts to curb right wing Christian extremism.
