Funny, I thought we were doomed by Global Warming, not ISIS. God help us.

According to reports leaked from the Department of Homeland Security, the real danger to U.S. national security isn't ISIS or radical Islamic terror, but domestic right-wing extremists.
Utilizing big data, social media, cash and credit card expenditures, household purchases, bank records, shopping records, tax records, various licenses you might hold and groups you belong to, I could build a case against anyone - even the now long dead Mother Theresa herself.
Heck even your own computer and flat screen television can be turned against you under the correct circumstance. Hint: if you have a computer (laptops are notorious for this) with a television camera - put a piece of tape over it - you would be amazed at the things some people have seen! And the owners did not know it. I am not sure how to block a big flat screen TV yet - but only a smaller percentage of them can be used to spy on you in your house at present.
So - whether you consider yourself, left, middle or right wing - if you are "noticed" it would be easy to build an anonymous case against nearly any person if you wanted to put them away. So under the right circumstance I can make ANYONE a right wing threat.
The power of government and government "agencies" is far larger and perhaps far more ominous than most in any sort of a position of power would be willing to publicly admit to.
Anyone who says - "Well if you are doing nothing wrong you have nothing to fear" has never taken a few military courses on how to investigate, track, film/video and find a person. Ask any highly placed police investigator what even s/he can get access to - I think you would be surprised.
