[UA] Austin Texas and the Ordo Corpulentus

[Rayburn, Russell E.]

Domestic terror groups do get looked at.  The right-wing groups ( kkk,
skinheads, etc. ) were so thoroughly infiltrated at one point that some
groups had more informants than actual members ( at least from what I've
read ).  

DHS has been looking into them, although some would like them to work
more closely with the FBI:

And there is a very large trial against a white supremacist prison gang
just wrapping up:

So it's not like the groups are being ignored.

One of the problems though is that some of these right-wing groups have
responded to law enforcement pressure by becoming non-violent, then
raising the specter of COINTELPRO [1].  While these groups are
repulsive, if they break no laws the first amendment applies to them as
well.

Also, the FBI seems to be looking at radical animal rights /
environmentalist groups a bit more than before.  Likely, this is linked
to the Earth First arson manual they published a while back... and the
success untrained individuals had in employing their methods.

Strangely enough, I read that even after these groups have openly
offered to 
help terrorists attack the US government and its citizens, nobody at the
FBI 
or any other agency has put them on any sort of list, or sent agents or 
undercover watchers to keep an eye on them.

Either they're 1) considered less of a real threat and more of an
annoyance, 
2) in cahoots with some decision-maker at the top of those agencies, or
3) 
have some sort of mind control schtick going on -- hypnosis, technology,
or 
magick -- to make sure the authorities do leave them alone even after
openly 
offering their help to destroy the States as we know it.

Granted, I read this a year or two ago, and the situation might have
changed 
since then. Still, it feels like something is askew here.
