> KeepAndBearArms.com -- The Phoenix Federal Bureau of Investigation, the
> Maricopa County Sheriff's Office (Greater Phoenix, Arizona), and the
> Maricopa County Attorney are handing out flyers asking the recipients to
> help them fight domestic terrorism.  I received one of these flyers this
> past weekend at the Arizona "Freedom in the 21st Century" gathering. One
> member of the Sheriff's Posse Reserve in attendance said he'd seen the
> flyer before and that it is legitimate.  [I will be getting verification
> before this report goes live on our site, including recording phone calls
> to these people.]

> Called the  Joint Terrorism Task Force, the program was created,
> presumably, to help preserve the American way of life, right?  In part,
> probably.  However, it also looks like it's a disinformation campaign to
> paint least a few groups of Real Americans as domestic terrorists. Among
> other things, the dynamic trio is asking people:
>
> "If you encounter any of the following, Call the Joint Terrorism Task Force":
>
> "defenders of the US Constitution against federal government and the UN"
>
> [That describes many civil liberties groups and most gun rights and
> American Sovereignty groups in existence -- and, by extension, their members.]
>
> "Groups of individuals engaging in para-military training"
>
> [Such as, perhaps, shooting your semi-automatic "assault weapon" with some
> friends out in the desert?"]
>
> Also being sought are  "Common Law Movement Proponents" who
>
> "Request authority for a stop"
>
> [That's illegal now?]
>
> "Make numerous references to the US Constitution"
>
> [That's illegal now?]
>
> "Attempt to 'police the police'"
>
> [That's illegal now?]
>
> And let's not forget the other potential "domestic terrorists" being
> sought.  We really need to watch out for these people:
>
> "Lone Individuals"
>
> [Do you meet that description?]
>
> "Rebels"
>
> [Know any gun rights activist who doesn't have at least a touch of rebel
> pumping through the old bloodstream?]
>
> Be sure and notice the following two things on the flyer, as well:
>
> 1)  There is NOT ONE MENTION of "Islamic Fundamentalists" anywhere.
>
> 2)  Defenders of the US Constitution and the common law from which it grew
> are being classified on the same level as the bottom-feeding Skinheads,
> Nazis and the KKK.
>
>
> READ THE FLYER FOR YOURSELF
>
> The flyer is a tri-fold, so you'll have to turn your head sideways to read
> one of the sections.

> The far left side of the above "Back Page" -- the part that mentions the
> 'defenders of the
> US Constitution' -- is the inside flap... the first thing you see when you
