What or who is the fifth column?
396100
A fifth column is a group of people which clandestinely undermines a larger group to which it is expected to be loyal, such as a nation. The term originated with a 1936 radio address by Emilio Mola, a Nationalist general during the 1936-39 Spanish Civil War. As four of his army columns moved on Madrid, the general referred to his militant supporters within the capital as his "fifth column," intent on undermining the Republican government from within.\n\nThe term is also used in reference to a population who are assumed to have loyalties to countries other than the one in which they reside, or who support some other nation in war efforts against the country they live in.\n\nDuring World War II, German minority organizations in Poland and Czechoslovakia formed the Selbstschutz, which actively helped the Third Reich in conquering those nations and engaged in atrocities.\n\nThe Japanese American internment in the United States was justified on the basis that Japanese descendants living on the West Coast would act as a fifth column. Irish Catholic residents in the UK have been sometimes viewed in this way by unionists due to "The Troubles" of the late 20th century (see also Guildford Four, Birmingham Six).\n\nToday it has a pejorative connotation, whereas partisan can be considered a positive or negative term. Resistance movements are looked upon more favourably than fifth columnists, but it can be argued that that there is an overlap between the two

This is not a scholarly term, but a political spin by the right-wing media.   Ironic, since they themselves display a lot of Fascist tendencies.  I guess it takes one to know one.

No.  That would be the Neocons.  They're the ones who would deprive Americans of their First, 5th, and 6th  Amendment protections under the Constitution...and lead us into wars of an Imperial and geopolitical nature.
