Feds use fear of militias, Islamist terror groups for political advantage and as a means of control - Detroit News (George Hunter)
The story includes the usual quotes from the Southern Poverty Law Center, academics, police and the usual federal alphabet soup of law enforcers who all claim that Michigan is awash in "homegrown terror groups" saying there are 47 of them out there in total. So watch your neighbors, strangers, co-workers, and immigrants folks and be sure to report them to the authorities just in case they're terrorists.
And just to make the whole government approved formulaic news story complete newsman Hunter rehashes the books, DVDs and other reputed terrorist paraphernalia`just for good measure. Hunter makes sure to include that "evidence" seized included "...DVDs titled 'Waco' at the home of alleged Hutaree leader David Stone Sr., along with copies of the novel 'The Turner Diaries' and a book of Adolf Hitler's speeches at the Indiana home of defendant Thomas Piatek, according to court records made public last week." Hey, thanks for that intel George, go get your nugs from Janet Napolitano.
Do we look through the book shelves of everyone the government arrests? Maybe we should from now on. The Detroit News should now include that info in every crime story they publish. Seems fair to me.
