CNN Propaganda: Constitutionalists, Sovereign Citizens are Bigger Terrorist Threat Than ISIS
- CNN Propaganda: Constitutionalists, Sovereign Citizens are Bigger Terrorist Threat Than ISIS

(NaturalNews) The corporate media, which has acted as a Pretorian Guard of sorts for Big Government for years, is jumping the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) bandwagon after the agency released a report decrying the “dangers” posed by “sovereign citizens.”
–
One of the report’s biggest cheerleaders has been CNN, whose guest “analysts” and hosts have described such Americans as being a bigger threat to the country than the terrorist group ISIS.
–
CNN further noted that the “new intelligence assessment” by DHS “focuses on the domestic terror threat from right-wing sovereign citizen extremists and comes as the Obama administration holds a White House conference to focus efforts to fight violent extremism.”
–
The term “right-wing” has often been used by mainstream media and government officials as code to describe Americans who tend to be more conservative, believe in the letter of the Constitution, prefer smaller, less intrusive government, are religious and, in particular, Christian.
–
The first 24-hour news broadcaster, in an online report, claimed that some federal and local law enforcement agencies are viewing domestic terrorism from so-called sovereign citizens as a threat equal to, “and in some cases greater than,” those posed by “foreign Islamic terror groups” that tend to get more public attention.

Not as big a threat as made out to be
The DHS report, which was written in conjunction with the FBI, listed 24 incidents of violence committed by or related to sovereign citizens in the U.S. since 2010. Put in context, that’s fewer than six per year in a country of 310 million people; by comparison, the CIA estimates that ISIS ranks may consist of as many as 31,500 fighters. What’s more, given the Obama administration’s lax enforcement of U.S. borders, some analysts and experts are concerned that terrorists from the Middle East could slip into the U.S.
–
Nevertheless, the DHS report cites homegrown terrorism as a bigger concern. In specific, it describes the sovereign citizens as “extremists” who think they can ignore U.S. laws and that their individual rights are under attack (interestingly, it is the Obama administration and the president himself ignoring laws).
