“Operation Vigilant Eagle is an American law-enforcement effort headed by the FBI aimed at preventing political violence by ‘lone wolf’ terrorists. The operation was first mentioned in the Wall Street Journal in April 2009.

“In this case a ‘lone wolf’ is a person who operates alone, outside of extremest organizations. Examples included Theodore Kaczynski, the Unabomber, Scott Roeder who killed a Kansas abortion doctor and James von Brunn who attacked the American United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. Such attackers are hard to detect as they do not associate with other extremists.”

This article was written by Pamella Geller and originally published at Freedom Outpost

“Obama’s war on our fundamental rights is devastating. The enemedia performs like state-run media and covers for this incredible rout. It is shocking. And in all of these grotesque anti-American maneuvers, Obama and his thugs are always using Orwellian language. ‘Operation Vigilant Eagle’ criminalizes free speech and targets our nation’s best — our vets.”

So nobody in the federal government said, “Hmm. You know, we might just be giving fuel to the engine for every right-wing conspiracist out there.” Nope. Nobody had any sense on this. But, then, it is the federal government.
