Yea, that is the real headline from the source and information I am about to present! Buckle up!
The document — and the rating system — is part of a wider strategy for Countering Violent Extremism, which calls for local community and religious leaders to work together with law enforcement and other government agencies. The White House has made this approach a centerpiece of its response to terrorist attacks around the world, and in the wake of the Paris attacks, announced plans to host an international summit on Countering Violent Extremism on February 18th.
The rating system, part of a 36-page document dated May 2014 and titled “Countering Violent Extremism: A Guide for Practitioners and Analysts,” suggests that police, social workers and educators rate individuals on a scale of one to five in categories such as: “Expressions of Hopelessness, Futility,” “Talk of Harming Self or Others,” and “Connection to Group Identity (Race, Nationality, Religion, Ethnicity).” The ranking system is supposed to alert government officials to individuals at risk of turning to radical violence, and to families or communities at risk of incubating extremist ideologies.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
1. Expressions of Hopelessness.
May I be the first to raise my hand? What are we talking about here if people are honest with themselves? 40-50% of the population?
2. Talk of Harming Self or Others
Here we go again! My hands up! I am not about harming others, but myself? Where is the pro choice movement to back me up on this?
Buckle up for the next one! This one pretty much gives the states the authority to call ANYONE they want a "Domestic Extremist"!
3. Connection to Group Identity Race, Nationality, Religion, Ethnicity ....
I don't know about any of you, but I connect to my roots!
Now most of us have seen how the authorities have been taking children away from parents for what I will call BS reasons, no trial, just a social worker "says so" and the gestapo show up and the children are hauled away.
Gets better/worse....
A low score in any of these categories would indicate a high risk of “susceptibility to engage in violent extremism,” according to the document. It encourages users of the guide to plot the scores on a graph to determine what “interventions” could halt the process of radicalization before it happens.
