The DHS Memorandum

There has been much controversy concerning the Department of Homeland Security memorandum concerning the connection between Jared Loughner and the publication American Renaissance. Many are suggesting that the whole memorandum obtained by Fox is a fabrication, but I think that the originating memorandum is real. Real despite the glowing factual errors that many have pointed out.

From the memorandum, a copy of which has yet to be released:

{snip} the suspect has multiple arrests . . . But no criminal record? Intervention by someone?* no direct connection–but strong suspicion is being directed at AmRen / American Renaissance. Suspect is possibly linked to this group. (through videos posted on his myspace and YouTube account.). The group’s ideology is anti government, anti immigration, anti ZOG (Zionist Occupational Government), anti Semitic. Gabrielle Gifford is the first Jewish female elected to such a high position in the US government. {snip}

{snip} [This] is more likely an email alert going out from what Jared Taylor of American Renaissance identified as the Arizona Counter Terrorism Information Center, AcTIC, one of the hundreds of fusion centers like the fusion center responsible for the Missouri embarrassment, all funded by DHS and run under FBI auspices and direction.

Much of the training provided to the flatfoots assigned to these centers is of very low quality and highly politically correct. Most of the staff is the dregs of local, state and federal law enforcement. High performing officers, agents, and detectives are not given these assignements, as they produce no arrests or statistics. The fusion centers consider themselves to be the lead on counter terrorism investigations, but they are mostly just information clearing houses, filled with alot of dated, useless, misleading, incomplete, and false information gleaned from where ever. {snip} The only real use for such widely spread information is profiling. Here it is effective in combating “one off” or copy cat terrorists. But, since profiling is not allowed, it is of limited effectiveness, but it does make local Sheriffs and Chiefs Of Police feel important because they have detailed a non-performing employee to the fusion center. It should also be noted that their training is heavy on SPLC propaganda and the Islam is a religion of peace propaganda.

So the nonsense, out right lies, and plain factual errors are quite likely to be coming from AcTIC. {snip}

Which, in the end, is the purpose of FBI control over the work product of the fusion centers. Just like their Joint Terrorism Task Forces, it is designed to make the FBI appear to be sharing information with the locals, make the FBI look good, gather information for the FBI, or take credit for any accomplishments. In this case, fusion centers, are a way to pawn off politically connected Sheriffs and Chiefs of Police, who would only interfer with or ruin a real FBI counter-terrorism investigation.

But you really know that the memorandum is real from the prominent mention of non-FBI agencies as leading or participating in the investigation:

” . . . working together, was MCSO, DPS, Phoenix PD, ICE, and of course the FBI.”

Of course, the FBI has taken over the investigation and they don’t play with others. And there is no jurisdiction for the Arizona Department of Public Safety as DPS is a highway patrol agency, and ICE has no interest or jurisdiction, they only deal with customs and immigration matters. And why would Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office be involved if this happened in another county?

So, clearly this memorandum was written by some useless flatfoot hack with ADL/SPLC connections and training. {snip}
