ALG (Americans for Limited Government) discovered a bogus report by filing a Freedom of Information request in April demanding all documents related to the drafting of the controversial
“right-wing extremism” memo by the DHS. As suspected, the government wanted a statement with no research or documentation. There was no evidence of any actual active recruitment of "disgruntled veterans" by these groups, no evidence showing that folks who purchase guns or oppose gun-control legislation are necessarily dangerous, and no evidence that the economic downturn or the election of Barack Obama that is fueling any actual ‘resurgence’ of ‘extremism.’” The memo had reported that “right wing extremists will attempt to recruit and radicalize returning veterans.” “The background DHS used was not based on credible intelligence sources, reporting, and analysis. Instead, what we found is that the Department was apparently surfing the net to see what news stories happened to turn up to support a pre-determined conclusion,” ALG President Bill WilsonWilson explained.
