FBI Increasing Its Monitoring of ‘Sovereign Citizens’ — But Why?

The FBI has been paying closer attention to “sovereign citizen” extremists around the country out of concerns that they will react violently when they interact with government officials. But if you dig deeper, the FBI’s attention raises questions about why focus on this group as opposed to others.

But first, who are sovereign citizens? They’re a mixed bag. Some reject their U.S. citizenship and don’t recognize government authority, like laws and taxes. But others don’t, and are more concerned with private property. The website Sovereigncitizens.org explains:

Our goal is to educate and inform the American public about the very real threat to the United States of America as we have known it – coming from many different institutions that make up our government and policy infrastructure. We hope to teach those who wish to remain free how to recognize this threat and disarm it in their communities.
We do NOT endorse non-payment of taxes or violence to achieve these changes. We do NOT endorse giving up a social security number and we do NOT endorse violence against the police or the government. [Emphasis added]

  1. Oh, yes – I’ve heard of this group. If I recall wasn’t there a Sovereign who had a shoot-out with police a few years back? He died and his house burnt to the ground.

      There are several groups, just like the TEA Party…painting them all with this broad brush is like the libs saying all TPers are racist because one or two nuts were seen at a gathering…SC for the most part are preppers, teaching others how to survive when the SHTF…I know many who are in these groups and they are not the wack-jobs the media portrays them as because of a couple nut-jobs are running loose. Conservatives would be wise to counter this shit every time they see it out on the net!
