#1 This is almost eerie, in that it identifies no threat or type of threat, and actually states that local communities are better equipped than the federal government to determine the threat.

Thus it is either an empty document meant to achieve nothing, an admission of federal failure and weakness, or something hopelessly insidious and menacing.

#2 Instead it points to federal outreach programs by the Homeland Security and Justice departments and FBI that have been initiated in the years since the 2001 terror attacks. It also refers to the nation's approach to countering criminal gangs as a model to embrace for countering violent extremism, involving police, schools, probation officers, youth agencies, government and local grass roots organizations.

Sounds like a beefed up Neighborhood Watch Program. I suggest the Feds supply local Neighborhood Watch Programs with the guns they walk over to Mexico for the cartels.

The psychological aspects of radicalization have been studied for years, and while there are some similarities among terrorism cases, there is not a single profile of a violent extremist in the U.S.

The Obama administration is well-poised to understand the roots of radicalism as his first administration was filled with 1960s radical wannabees following the Alinsky bible "Rules for Radicals."

Somehow this sounds like the Feds are saying we need to watch the white right-wing Christian extremists.

The Bush administration also sought ways to counter violent ideologies, but the problem became more pressing for President Barack Obama, as there have been more attempted attacks and plots against the U.S. during his time in office.

This is curious. There have been more attempts since the Bush administration? It doesn't seem like it. Is this one of the ginned up crises to issue some executive order (statist ideology) via the backdoor--such as gun control?

Be watchful and very wary of such open-ended non-problems. Maybe the govmint is anticipating the food and gas riots and the widespread looting and criminal activity when the wheels come off.

#3 Preparing to push the costs of local defense down to the States thereby avoiding the 'carry/no carry/open carry' and 'illegal immigration' discussions. Look for medical to follow, I think.
