Leaked FBI doc labels ‘extremist’ Betsy Ross flag, 2nd Amendment, Gadsden Flag and more: report
An apparent internal FBI document that leaked Tuesday lists the Betsy Ross American flag, the Gadsden “Don’t Tread on Me” flag, symbols of the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms, and other imagery as symbols of “Militia Violent Extremists” or MVEs.
The purported FBI documents were published by the undercover journalism organization Project Veritas, which said it obtained the document from a whistleblower in the FBI.
The document is labeled “Unclassified/Law Enforcement Sensitive” and contains the “FBI Internal Use Only” disclaimer. The document states “the following symbols are used by Anti-Government or Anti-Authority Violent Extremists, specifically Militia Violent Extremists.”
The document then lists the symbols:
• Boogaloo: an American flag with an igloo replacing the 50 stars and a single Hawaiian-shirt patterned line. The term Boogaloo is a reference to the film Breakin 2: Electric Boogaloo and appears to describe the possibility of a second American civil war.
• Punisher Skulls
• 2A: the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms
• Electrical Resistance Symbol
• Anarcho-Capitalism
• various symbols of “Warrior Culture”
• Molon Labe: a phrase meaning “Come and take them,” which was popularized the Spartan King Leonidas at the Battle of Thermopylae, challenging the Persians to take away the weapons of his opposing army.
• A black and white or all-black American flag
The document also lists “commonly referenced historical imagery or quotes” of MVEs, including:
• The Gadsden Flag
• American Revolutionary War Imagery
• The Liberty Tree: referencing a famous elm tree in Boston where colonists organized in 1765 for one of the first major acts of defiance against British rule before the American Revolution.
• The Betsy Ross Flag: an early variant of the American flag
