‘Angry Right Wingers’ Actors Featured As National Guard Riot Drill Goes Hot (Video)

A National Guard exercise based around dealing with civil unrest after a “dirty bomb” attack in California showcased role players performing as angry Americans ranting ‘right-wing’ unsupported claims.

The training, which conspiracy news outlets reporters were prohibited from participating, took place in Richmond this past weekend and included more than 200 soldiers, airmen, local law enforcement and firefighting personnel.

Video taken by a local displays Guard soldiers forcing upset folks away with batons before one of the protesting groups says, “I’m a sovereign citizen, I refuse to recognize you guys, I refuse to recognize you.”

“Why in this time of a exercise for a “dirty bomb”, would an actor or actress declare to be a sovereign citizen?” questions Keith Johnson, who shot the footage. “The San Francisco Bay Area is not known for it’s sovereign citizen militia population and hearing this shouted during a mock terrorist scenario was disturbing. Anybody familiar with Richmond will tell you it is not a rural ‘militia’ environment. Located in the East Bay Area near Oakland, it is a community with reduced circumstances. No one there is going to be proclaiming to be a sovereign citizen.”

Johnson continues to convey his issue that young National Guard troops are being brainwashed to recognize a ‘Kent State’ attitude where their purpose will be to police disobedient mobs of liberty activists.

Last February, DHS circulated an intelligence evaluation which centered on the threat presented by right-wing sovereign citizens and other domestic extremists. CNN consequently noted that federal and local law enforcement organizations see sovereign citizens as a greater threat than ISIS or any Islamic terror group.

Sovereign citizens reject to recognize federal law and consider the U.S. government is illegitimate. Members of the movement have been engaged in infrequent violent confrontations primarily focusing on police officers over the last 5 years.

Sovereign citizens are repeatedly mixed in with law-abiding conservatives and libertarians anytime the federal government puts out information on the subject of domestic extremism.

As I have extensively exposed, the federal government has regularly downplayed the risk of Islamic terror in support of driving hysteria about right-wing extremism.

The FBI’s latest national terror threat assessment list entirely occuldes Islamic terrorists, rather centering on sovereign citizens and the militia activity.

A 2012 University of Maryland analysis financed to the tune of $12 million dollars by the DHS described Americans who are “suspicious of centralized federal authority,” and “reverent of individual liberty” as “extreme right-wing” terrorists even while glossing over the danger presented by Islamic extremism.

Fears that the National Guard and military are getting ready for civil unrest in America have enhanced in recent weeks subsequentto the statement that a “realistic” military training exercise called Jade Helm will take place in 9 U.S. states this summer. The drill centers around troops working “undetected” within local populations.

As it was documented last month, video taken during a comparable drill in Fort Lauderdale demonstrated military and law enforcement exercising the internment of citizens in the course of martial-law style exercise.
