Rightwing extremists are harnessing this historical election as a recruitment tool. Many rightwing extremists are antagonistic toward the new presidential administration and its perceived stance on a range of issues, including immigration and citizenship, the expansion of social programs to minorities, and restrictions on firearms ownership and use. Rightwing extremists are increasingly galvanized by these concerns and leverage them as drivers for recruitment. From the 2008 election timeframe to the present, rightwing extremists have capitalized on related racial and political prejudices in expanded propaganda campaigns, thereby reaching out to a wider audience of potential sympathizers.
For the first time, Homeland Security has identified a threat without a plot, without an identified group, without a definition. The defining characteristic: Political ideology similar to America's founding fathers.
Unlike left-wing groups like Earth Liberation Front, PETA, and Weather Underground that target people and property to achieve their ends, the Obama administration chooses to raise awareness of a "resurgence in rightwing extremist recruitment". Look out for those opposed to immigration reform, abortion or a balance between state and federal power.
Check back often. We will post the addresses of the RightWing Extremist Recruitment Stations here, as we find them. We suspect an enlistment in the RightWing Extremist service will require a membership in good standing at Ushanka.us. So join today!
