People shy away from the word "terrorism" a lot. I don't really know why. Terrorism is a crime that anyone can commit quick and on the cheap. But there is still this idea that the only real terrorist threat in the world comes from radical Islam. While radical Islam certainly remains a threat, that threat has long since been overshadowed by various other home grown domestic terrorists. The Incel movement, for example, has routinely topped terrorist lists ahead of radical Islamic terrorism. Another group that the FBI have routinely investigated are white supremacist groups like the proud boys, the neo-nazis and the KKK. But ahead of even those lies a particular group of terrorists who consider American law to be nothing more than a farce because America abandoned the gold standard. These people recognize no laws made after the 1930s and frequently challenge American law whenever presented with the opportunity. This led a woman by the name of Shenetta Little, to be locked out of her New Jersey home, which she paid for, by a group of terrorists who call themselves "sovereign citizens". "And so it was with surprise that Little found herself in her yard on Ivy  Street on a June afternoon as a police SWAT team negotiated with a man  who had broken in, changed her locks and hung a red-and-green flag in  its window. He claimed he was a sovereign citizen of a country that does not exist and for whom the laws of the United States do not apply" (yahoo news). While many assume sovereign citizens are nothing more than a bunch of tin foil hat wearing nerds living in their mothers' basements, "a closer look at sovereign citizens’ more severe crimes, from financial scams to impersonating or threatening law enforcement officials, gives reason for concern. If someone challenges (e.g., a standard traffic stop for false license plates) their ideology, the behavior of these sovereign-citizen extremists quickly can escalate to violence. Since 2000, lone-offender sovereign-citizen extremists have killed six law enforcement officers. In 2010, two Arkansas police officers stopped sovereign-citizen extremists Jerry Kane and his 16-year-old son Joseph during a routine traffic stop on Interstate 40. Joseph Kane jumped out of the vehicle and opened fire with an AK-47 assault rifle, killing both officers". If they are willing to kill police, please trust and believe that they will not hesitate to kill you or anyone else for that matter. But because the world is so terrified of Islam in particular, these threats have gone largely unnoticed by the general public, which makes it more difficult for law enforcement to reign them in. Some the crimes these terrorists commit include: paper terrorism, death threats, vandalism, illegal sale and production of hard drugs such as meth, impersonating law enforcement, and murder. Needless to say, these are not good people. You see, Little's case is not unique and this is not a predominantly black movement; sovereign citizens have no distinct race, culture, religion or political ideology, which makes them even more dangerous than other terrorist cells. Four attempted thefts of housing occurred in Seattle suburbs within weeks of each other in December, 2020 alone. "Someone knocks on a door, claims to be the legal owner of the house, and  tells the current occupant to clear out. But these aren’t the evictions  that have swept the country amid the COVID-19 pandemic. They’re hoaxes  perpetrated by the Moorish sovereign citizen movement, a conspiratorial  group that claims its members are the rightful owners of virtually all  property in America." It is high time we analyze this movement and how it is used by conservative propagandists to bankrupt and make a mockery of our justice system. You may be afraid of the strangers in Afghanistan, but I am far more concerned about someone who can attack me today, than someone who may or may not attack me tomorrow. Image: Lil Artsy
