FBI PROJECT MEGIDDO, ABOUT DOMESTIC TERRORISM
Overview
On 1999-OCT-20, The FBI announced a report called "Project Megiddo". It is intended to alert U.S. law enforcement to what they describe is "the potential for extremist criminal activity in the United States by individuals or domestic groups who attach special significance to the year 2000." An accompanying FBI statement mentioned that "The threat posed by extremists as a result of perceived events associated with the Year 2000 (Y2K) is very real. The volatile mix of apocalyptic religious and (New World Order) conspiracy theories may produce violent acts aimed a precipitating the end of the world as prophesied in the Bible..." Their concept is that by creating widespread instances massive destruction, violence, and death, that the end of the world will be precipitated. This is not a new phenomenon within Christianity. Very similar beliefs were held during the time of the Roman Empire.
Data for the report were collected over a nine-month period of intensive intelligence gathering by the domestic terrorism unit of the FBI, The report is "considered so sensitive and secret that it will not be made public." Fortunately, the Center for studies on New Religions (CESNUR) obtained a copy and placed it on the Internet.
