Actually this is a surprise since even during the Bush administration “Peace” groups were basically allowed to fund and supply our enemies at will. Obama’s DOJ cracking down on these traitors is the first thing he’s done I can get behind. I can’t wait until Code Pink is rounded up:

The FBI raided the Minneapolis homes of five antiwar activists, including three leaders of the Twin Cities peace movement, Friday morning as part of what it called a probe of “activities concerning the material support of terrorism.”

The Minneapolis office of an antiwar organization was also raided, protest leaders said. No one was arrested in any of the raids.

FBI spokesman Steve Warfield said the searches were conducted at about 7 a.m. Lawyers said the agents seized computers, cell phones and documents in the protesters’ homes.

The federal search warrants in Minneapolis were related to an ongoing Joint Terrorism Task Force, Warfield said. He offered no details.

Protest leaders said the raids surprised them. Mick Kelly, whose home was searched, played a central role in the 2008 demonstrations at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul. Asked if he was involved in illegal activities, he replied, “Absolutely not.”

Ted Dooley, Kelly’s attorney, called the raids “a probe into the political beliefs of American citizens and any organization anywhere that opposes the American imperial design.” He said the warrants cited a federal law making it a violation to provide or conspire to provide material support to designated foreign terrorist organizations.

That last paragraph is the important one. For years lefties have been traveling abroad and giving money they raise here to terror groups who use that money against our allies. In some cases they even scam other peaceniks to get the money, like Cindy Sheehan did with the Crawford Peace House.

The F.B.I. has stated that they are looking into other groups across the country. The Freedom Road Socialist Organization is one of the groups the raids targeted. As you can see at the link, they were attempting to gin up class and race war in America.

Many will claim this is a sign of “martial law” coming but in reality this is a long time coming. But the timing is strange. Marxist groups are waiting for a collapse of our system to “make their move” so to speak, so a leftist government’s crackdown on these groups suggests that they are worried that civil unrest is just around the corner and they’re trying to neutralize key players in the red revolution that will follow.
