Chuck Norris Advocating Armed Revolution and Terrorist “Cell” Tactics

Mar 23rd, 2009 by Will Potter

Is Chuck Norris a Terrorist?

Is Chuck Norris a Terrorist?

Chuck Norris says it may soon be time to violently overthrow the U.S. government, and he’s organizing “cells” around the country.

In his column at the far-right WorldNetDaily, he cites the national debt, Obama administration, and a lack of religious values, as reasons for putting out his call to action:

How much more will Americans take? When will enough be enough? And, when that time comes, will our leaders finally listen or will history need to record a second American Revolution?

He says Texas will be leading the revolution, he quotes Sam Houston, he remembers the Alamo, he promises to “run for president of Texas,” and… wait, it keeps getting better! He says he and Fox’s Glenn Beck (who says the Obama administration will put conservatives in FEMA internment camps) have organized a telecast called “We Surround Them,” in which “thousands of cell groups will be united.”

And, to top it all off, he puts in a promo for his next martial arts event, so folks can see “a good example of the raw Texas fighting spirit” that’s he is advocating.

Let me catch my breath. Ok. Wait. Ok. I can barely process how hilarious and absurd and infuriating this is. Chuck Norris is advocating violent revolution, and having a conference call about it.

If an animal rights activist, environmentalist, anarchist, or any other “domestic terrorist” had put out an oped like this, and organized a conference call with cells, A CONFERENCE CALL WITH CELLS, the Joint Terrorism Task Forces would be kicking in doors RNC-style.

Geez, an American Idol star was labeled a “terrorist” for giving money to the Humane Society.

Animal rights activists in California have been indicted as “terrorists” for home protests. Activists in Utah have been arrested as “terrorists” for allegedly releasing mink from fur farms. Environmentalists have been sentenced to 20 years in prison for “conspiring” to destroy property. And none of those people have harmed anyone, advocating harming anyone, or armed themselves to harm anyone.

This isn’t an isolated example of the blatant hypocrisy of the War on Terrorism. Right-wing groups, for example, aren’t on the Department of Homeland Security’s list of terrorist threats.

So why isn’t Chuck Norris a threat? Because the government crackdown on activists as “terrorists” has nothing to do with crimes or the potential for violence, it’s about prosecuting ideology and chilling dissent. Even though Chuck Norris is using extreme rhetoric, the ideology behind the rhetoric–religious fervor, capitalism, empire–isn’t a threat. It’s not dissent. It’s the norm.

And that’s why, no matter how powerful his roundhouse kicks, and how many “cells” he organizes, Chuck Norris is less of a threat than animal rights activists with chalk.

    How many libs have I seen with bumper stickers that say, "stop bitching and start a revolution" I have also heard the term "green revolution", so please dont get your panties in a bunch. Chuck Norris isnt going to hurt anyone.
  • di
    btw, 1st, chuck is NOT a texan, he an okie. 2nd, under tx's new 2009 "castle law, chuck could be shot if he makes someone feel terrorized or threatened by his actions (the law gives people the right to use whatever means necessary to protect themselves and their property without fear of civil liability).
  • di
    As usual, you catch very good articles and make articulate concise points. I recently began to wonder why we don't hear about Italian or Jewish mafia as designated terrorists. Anything you can highlight on this would be interesting. Thanks for great stuff in your newsletter.

    While I agree with your critique, your err in writing that Right-wing groups are not on the DHS terrorist threat list (pretty much everybody is on the list): http://www.scribd.com/doc/13232178/MIAC-Strateg...

    I agree. I am a Regan Conservative and not real fond of the far left ideology like this website espouses but I do agree that we are ALL being manipulated by whatever 'force' (big money, some consortium, etc) that is ultimately calling the shots.
    You can't convince me that last October's financial meltdown was a coincidence. Can't convince me that a candidate who raises 650 MILLION dollars to run a presidential campaign and win does not owe 'someone' some favors.

    It's great to want total peace and nirvana on this planet but it is NEVER going to happen. Just isn't.

    Our best hope is to join as liberals and conservatives and DEMAND truth and reality and representation from OUR elected officials.

    Follow the money and that is where the decisions are being made.

    Regrettably, I don't think that any of us can reverse the direction the tide is flowing in today.

    I am a middle aged guy with no Grandkids so I will probably be able to enjoy the rest of my life in relative happiness but you younger people and kids are going to miss out on the joy that was this great country.

    Anytime someone disagrees with a liberal or voices an opinion you don't agree with, they're a terrorist.

    Truth: There is no LEFT, there is no RIGHT. It is a paradigm.
    I'm sorry you have been mislead, certainly, the Obama administration is only expanding the police-state policies the Bush administration has been pushing upon us. There is NO left or right wing. It is all a song and dance, a show. Entertainment at it's worst. The Federal Reserve has had the United States by the balls, which is why it's important, weather you are Democrat or Republican to vote for H.R. 1207, and AUDIT THE FEDERAL RESERVE. They stole from all of us. Obama is just a puppet of the corporation that runs our country. Please, find truth. And before you criticize me, look up information yourself, please. Study it. You may reply with an ignorant comment, but I implore you, please, look up the information yourself. Our country is in a world of trouble. It means nothing if you are D or R, just please, all of us, remember our founding fathers, our CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS, and please, don't let them take our liberties away. This has nothing to do with Democratic or Republican views. Just wanted to politely correct anyone who may be wrong. I won't be visiting this site again, just spreading this bit of news. Obama will only continue to carry out the massive Police State that enforces our lives, government will become more and more intrusive on our rights, until we say enough is enough. I do NOT advocate violence, rather, I think that by standing together, PEACEFULLY, and letting our politicians know what we think in a respectful way, we can truely change things. Remember, walk with the Lord, these are scary times. They want you to use force against them, and if we do, they will win. There is a peaceful, loving way to stand up for yourselves.
    God bless, and thanks for letting me share my .02 cents. Please, when responding to articles like this, use common sense, do not bash the writer. Respect his views, even if you don't agree with them. We need to be more civil, we are becoming a country de-united. We need to stand as one American country.
  • LibsRLosers
    Hell yes, I'll back up Chuck.
    Progressives are my enemy. PERIOD.
  • Rick Masey
    I am a solider. I swore to protect my country from all enemies foreign and domestic. I am sick and tired of illegal immigrants, liberals, and career politicians. I am still willing to fight and die for America, the America of old, not new. Gays, liberals, illegal immigrants, street signs & billboards, documents in foreign languages are not American.
    Religion is not part of our Government. It should not matter if you are Baptist, Catholic, Jewish, or Atheist. If you love our country and believe in freedom it is time to band together.
    Split the country give the liberals, gays, and other malcontents their land. Laugh when these folks are attacked and killed by their friends of other countries.
    STOP supporting the other parts of the world. They have been around longer than our country. They are not willing to help themselves and hate us for not doing enough for them.
    It is past time for action and a call to arms. I believe there are enough men and women who agree with this to surprise even the strongest liberal and politician in the world.

    Chuck N
    I agree that he is a little out there, BUT he has the right to say anything he wants. At least I think I seen something about that in the constitution. If he wishes to spew @#@#@ more power to him. You can not compare him to organizations that actually commit crimes.
  • Johnny..
    Amazing, how everyone throws stones and stands there putting on their most innocent look possible. Lets quickly define a few things. Acts of Terrorism are actions, and events taken against CIVILIANS(key word here), that cause damage, fear and TERROR(another key word). Guerrilla Combatant is anyone that attacks(in anyway) government officials, buildings, employees etc.
    Bush threw around the whole terrorist word far too often, Obama is no better, and neither was Clinton. it has been 20 years since we have had a competent president. So yes by definition releasing minks would be on the loosest definition of terrorism, but that is BS. At most it should be vandalism, or theft. I am so tired of this nonsense, I am tired of the far left screaming racism or sexism everytime the right says something they don;t like. At the same time the far right needs to realize that not everyone is a freakin terrorist. In fact the federal government is a better example of terrorists than most anyone else
  • Scott
    Dave M.,

    Is "chucktatorship" original?

    Thanks for the laugh
  • yeah OK
    I can see both sides of this. Let me ID myself insofar as my beliefs. OK, never mind. Put it this way, I identify mostly with leftists, except I refuse to go vegan, I'm cool with the Second Amendment, and I abhor the hypocrisy that goes on here just as it does on the Right.

    Everybody down with that? OK.

    1. Right-wingers are not the only ones concerned about the FEMA camps. They really have been built, and before Obama was elected, some of US were concerned they would be used on US. And you know, they might still be. Given, y'know, that we have a Democrat in office and yet left-wing activists and anarchists are STILL being targeted. As they were, incidentally, during the Clinton Administration. I know you folks don't march in lockstep with the Dems--I don't either. I've never even voted for Clinton or Obama. But don't laugh just because a right-winger's saying it. You think a government that would produce COINTELPRO and routinely massacre Native Americans and allow African-Americans to rot and starve after our nation's worst-ever natural disaster wouldn't stoop to locking some of us up? They already did it to Japanese-Americans and Muslims.

    2. Chuck Norris is a traitor. He sides with people with the same mindset as possessed by those who destroyed his people. He's part Cherokee/Tsalagi. You wouldn't know it the way he runs on. And he's not the only Native American, in whole or in part, who sides with the bad guys. There's someone calling themselves ComancheAmerican over at Mother Jones who acts as a neocon gadfly too.

    3. However, you people are going to continue being considered marginal at best by most of us if you do what those of Chuck Norris's ilk are doing and dismiss everything "the other side" has to say just because they aren't explicitly on *your* side. I've seen righties and lefties condemn mandatory vaccination (for the sake of a little something called "freedom to consent to healthcare"), advocate homeschooling, AND complain about a too-large, too-intrusive government. When leftists do the latter, they're called anarchists. When righties do it, we call them libertarians and we hates them, precious. WTF?

    I mean, I'm sorry some of them are religious, but so are the indigenous people y'all like to champion so much. Sometimes even to the point of intolerance of strangers. Where do you draw the line?

    Silly people! Both parties have destroyed the US. And it is going to catch up to all of us. What are you going to do if there is an armed revolt? First all traffic would stop because of the thousands of snipers. Are you going to drive a truck? Then they would hit the infrastructure such as power, water and gas pipelines. Food, drugs and other niceties would disappear. There would be 150 million people looking for food. This country is to big and dispersed for the military to do anything but try to control the violence in the cities. When it happens what are you going to do?
  • Steve
    It's unbelievable how narrow minded the author of this article is. It's clear either Mr. Potter si void of the historical knowlege of this country, or his writing is driven by stricked far left fringe-type ideology. (I believe the latter). America was born out of revolution caused by an overbearring, tiranical government. Oboma's administration along with the left controlled congress has grabbing for power from day one! They are not serving the people of this country, as mandated by their oath of office, but doing all they can to drive this country hard left...and drunk with thier newly gained power! I am an Independant American. I also was extremely disapointed, then angery with Bush on his flip-flop of conservative issues. This is how the congress and Oboma were able to gain power. American's not really Voting for Obama and the DNC congress, but just voting against another Bush-type politian seen in John McCain. Oboma and the DNC run Congress have no Mandate and they know it! So the game plan is to secure the 2010 election through left leaning regulation, growing the gov to such massive proportions so it will be difficult to dismantle down the road.

    If the left continue to force this country hard left, as what is happening now, you can bet there will be a revolution. I as a freedom loving American will be part of it, as I would rather be free than controlled by a tarranical government!
    This is an idea forgotten by many liberal people like Mr. Potter. You hard lefties should all wake up. Keep shoving millions and millions of fair minded American into your ideological fantacy world and oh boy there will be a day of reckoning.

    @well:
    The point is that our comrades are being convicted as "terrorists" for chalking slogans on a sidewalk and wearing masks at a protest, and handing out fliers. If that's terrorism, why isn't Chuck Norris' racist, right-wing lunacy considered terrorism? Because he's not threatening anyone's pocketbook. Because he's a religious fanatic. Because he's most likely anti-immigrant, anti-gay, anti-anything to do with personal freedom and liberty.

    Remember when the SHAC7 website was shut down? It wasn't because they were calling for arms to overthrow the government.

    Frankly, I find your devil's advocate stance disconcerting. Look up a little thing called COINTELPRO. The FBI had lists of and infiltrated numerous antiwar groups, many of them student run organizations, simply for existing. People have been raided, had things stolen and destroyed, been confronted with grand juries and more simply because they dare to speak up and stand up for what they believe in. And yes, if an animal rights activists says, "I'm gonna burn this factory farm down. Oh, but that's tongue in cheek," you better believe the FBI will be watching them.

    The point is that there is hypocrisy going on. The fact that Chuck Norris would not be labeled as a terrorist for first amendment protected speech (however crazy and ridiculous he may be!), only proves that animal rights and environmental activists, as well as anti-authoritarians are being targeted because they represent a threat to the status quo.

    Whether or not you're "ready to decide" if there's something unfair going on doesn't reverse the political repression that is facing our movement and our comrades.
  • well...
    i don't see where he's explicitly calling for violence. he did say some of it was tongue-in-cheek. i see your point, but i guess what would help me is, are there AR blogs that have been shut down for a similar "call to arms, the government is screwing up" type of rallying? i'll bet there are quite a few AR blogs that say a similar thing, and are not harassed by the government.

    don't get me wrong, i think anyone with unpopular opinions will have a hard time, we are no exception, but i like to look at situations from both sides before i decide if there is something unfair going on.
  • wreckage
    the solution is obviously an expansion of government infringement on civil liberties? all you need is consistency in application, and it's kosher? well, this should be good news for you: http://www.kansascity.com/116/story/1086524.html

  • well...
    how embarrassing to post this. it's not at all what he said. i'm all for protecting the AR/Eco movement from unfair harassment, but you need to do your research or people won't trust what you're saying =:/ as i watched the video i realized that we should probably be recruiting him ourselves ;) i would love to see the fair tax come about... that would mean that our taxes would not subsidize things we don't buy - like meat, eggs, or dairy.
  • @well

    Did you actually read his oped, in his own words? Give me an freakin' break. He specifically talks about thousands of cells organizing and potentially rising up, and now he's saying "Oh no, I never said that" because it has gotten attention and people are pointing out the stupidity of it. IT'S IN HIS OWN OPED.
  • Kathy
    Chuck Norris is another Sarah Palin--Texas wants to secede, Alaska wants to secede. They don't want government involved when it comes to making money, but they want government involved in your most personal choices--who to marry, whether or not to have a child. And they want to force their unproven religious views on everyone else, while they completely ignore the reality of the destruction of the earth, animals, and environment. People like this are a much greater threat than any AR activist.

    Geeze. I think the real reason Norris ( Chuck, not Jack ) isn't in jail is that he isn't threatening the money flow of any business. AR activists are.

    I loved his movies when I was a kid. I always feel a bit of regret when I read something he wrote and see how nutty he has become.

    -chuck norris can call for cells to violently overthrow the gov't without being labelled a terrorist by the fbi.

    and an old one:
    -contrary to popular belief, america is not a democracy, it is a chucktatorship.
  • Wow. Uh. I thought Chuck Norris had basically become a punchline. I didn't know he was a complete lunatic.
  • umm
    that telecast was the 13th. must have been a fart in a firestorm.

    and regarding tracy's point, it was in there within a beck quote; "before America allows a country to become a totalitarian country (which it would have under I think the Republicans as well in this situation; they were taking us to the same place, just slower), Americans won't stand for it."

    see? same place, just slower.
    what i find fascinating is that both left and right use quotes of the founders to support their various causes. i say let the founders rot. it's time to deal with the world in a way that reflects 2009. not 177whatever.

    I must say that you spend a lot of time making us look like we're not a threat.
    Sure, we're not a threat in the way the media portrays us, we aren't terrorists in a way that we will kill massive amounts of innocent people, but we are a threat to our current way of life.
    And we shouldn't be so apologetic about it.
    And we will fight the state and Chuck Norris, and we will win.
