Did you hear wanting to return to the gold standard makes you officially extremist to the FBI?

Update:

From Reuters: "Anti-government extremists opposed to taxes and regulations pose a growing threat to local law enforcement officers in the United States, the FBI warned on Monday. These extremists, sometimes known as "sovereign citizens," believe they can live outside any type of government authority, FBI agents said at a news conference."

    The actual statement by the FBI, as quoted in your own source, was to say that a certain sort of anti-government extremist may believe, among other things, that we should return to the gold standard. This is not the same as saying that everybody who wants a return to the gold standard is an extremist.

    of course it does, everybody who had tried to brush aside this is a purely a shill for the prestige quo or hotels to the lame arguments of going back to the nineteenth century, he's loony, and so on. No equipment is suited, yet this methodology quite hasn't provided that plenty stability and is not any longer in all hazard morally grounded. How plenty has the greenback lost using fact the Fed's inception? 97% or some thing! the problem is that what he has proposed could truthfully cut back government spending, which to maximum sane human beings is unquestionably a stable element! So i do no longer recognize why a lot of human beings oppose himon this different than liberal socialists...

    You do realize that more terrorist attacks in the US have been carried out by anti-government extremist than Muslims, right?

    There also already here. Do you really think they aren't a threat? Or do you want another government building blow up?

    That's nothing, not wanting to get felt up by a TSA Blueshirt makes you an extremist these days in our society full of compliant dipshits fighting to be the last one shot by the state.

    "Anti-government extremists opposed to taxes and regulations"

    In school we called these people "Founding Fathers". What changed?

    Source(s): Woops, I think I just got tagged as a domestic terrorist for posting this. Oh well. For the NSA stooge reading this, please note that I favor non-violent change to reduce our government.

    I happen to know many FBI agents.

    You are twisting the truth. In short, you are lying.

    The FBI considers many many many factors and does years of investigation before officially classifying a group as extremist.
