404 members of the U.S. House of Representatives passed a decree called the 'Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007'; this bill is perfectly summed up here [1]
Since the bill doesn't specifically define what an extremist belief system is, it is entirely up to the interpretation of the government.
Why was this bill passed now? America is on the brink of financial ruin and they are now very afraid of what's going to happen when the peasants (that's us) find themselves left with nothing.
2 Million Americans Face Losing Their Home. Credit problems once confined to high-risk mortgage borrowers are spreading across the consumer landscape. Cash-strapped Americans are raiding their 401(k)s. October 14, 2007: "Despite potential tax and investment problems, more investors have been borrowing from their 401(k) plans or taking hardship withdrawals.
The definition of violent radicalization uses vague language to define this term of promoting any belief system that the government considers to be an extremist. Literally, the government according to this definition can define whatever they want as an extremist belief system. Essentially they have defined violent radicalization as thought crime.
Violent radicalization, as in someone saying, these people should be hung for what they have done. Like at Nuremburg.
