DHS Bulletin "Summary of Terrorism Threat to the US"

DHS.gov ^ | 8/13/2021 | Department of Homeland Security

"Homeland Security has issued a new National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS) Bulletin regarding the current heightened threat environment across the United States. The Homeland continues to face a diverse and challenging threat environment leading up to and following the 20th Anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks as well religious holidays we assess could serve as a catalyst for acts of targeted violence. These threats include those posed by domestic terrorists, individuals and groups engaged in grievance-based violence, and those inspired or motivated by foreign terrorists and other malign foreign influences. These actors are increasingly exploiting online forums to influence and spread violent extremist narratives and promote violent activity. Such threats are also exacerbated by impacts of the ongoing global pandemic, including grievances over public health safety measures and perceived government restrictions."

"Through the remainder of 2021, racially- or ethnically-motivated violent extremists (RMVEs) and anti-government/anti-authority violent extremists will remain a national threat priority for the United States. These extremists may seek to exploit the emergence of COVID-19 variants by viewing the potential re-establishment of public health restrictions across the United States as a rationale to conduct attacks. Pandemic-related stressors have contributed to increased societal strains and tensions, driving several plots by domestic violent extremists, and they may contribute to more violence this year."

"Foreign and domestic threat actors, to include foreign intelligence services, international terrorist groups and domestic violent extremists, continue to introduce, amplify, and disseminate narratives online that promote violence, and have called for violence against elected officials, political representatives, government facilities, law enforcement, religious communities or commercial facilities, and perceived ideologically-opposed individuals. There are also continued, non-specific calls for violence on multiple online platforms associated with DVE ideologies or conspiracy theories on perceived election fraud..., and responses to anticipated restrictions relating to the increasing COVID cases."

So maybe this is why so many DHS employees were fired back in March, they would not go along with the government overreach that was coming. It seems clear that Jan 6 was fomented by the FBI for two reasons: to lay the groundwork for the "domestic terrorist" talking point as synonymous with patriots or conservatives and to show patriots and conservatives that they can break into your home in the middle of the night, hold your kids and wife at gunpoint and haul you away to a cell to be held indefinitely and you will have no recourse. Over 500 have been arrested and hundreds are being held in jail over misdemeanor charges.

So here's the latest sanctioned authority over-step. If you discuss "conspiracy theories" such as the "origins of COVID", the "effectiveness of vaccines", "'perceived' election fraud", or "anticipated restrictions relating to the increasing COVID cases" you are a "violent extremist" and may be subjected to the same treatment as someone who attended (even if you did not enter the capitol) the Jan 6 rally.

In the bulletin, the DHS appoints itself as the unelected arbiter of defining "disinformation, consipiracy theories and false narratives."

So if you disagree with mask mandates for school children, you’re a domestic terrorist.

[BookmanTheJanitor]

So now.....Political opponents = domestic terrorism

[ProtectOurFreedom]

These actors are increasingly exploiting online forums to influence and spread violent extremist narratives...

Are we now "FRactors"?

All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,

to lay the groundwork for the "domestic terrorist" talking point as synonymous with patriots or conservatives

To be fair, a lot of us saw this coming back in 2001 when the DHS was first proposed.

[I want the USA back]

Insanity at the highest levels. They see only what they want to see. antifa and blm are terrorist organizations. They allowed them to loot, burn, destroy, assault and terrorize last year, and never called it terrorism. They hate Republicans and normal people with a passion, and are using this as an excuse to demonize normal people, with the goal of neutralizing them.

[lightman]

They see Antifa and BLM as “patriots” and “freedom fighters”.

They see us burning, looting, and murdering terrorists.

[Gnome1949]

The Founding Fathers of the USA were “anti-government.” That is why they tried to build checks and balances into every part of the U.S. Constitution.

They understood the lure of absolute power for those in authority.

They would be classified as “terrorists” by today’s bureaucratic tyrants.

[KTM rider]

the FBI is our worst terrorist organization.

I could list a hundred reasons to support this statement starting with the relentless Trump Coup and ending with their support of ANTIFA and BLM vilence

I am on my phone otherwise I would do it. But can I get one of you fellow terrorists to post the picture in this following link? A picture is always worth 1000 words. Thanks in advance.

"These actors are increasingly exploiting online forums to influence and spread violent extremist narratives and promote violent activity. Such threats are also exacerbated by impacts of the ongoing global pandemic . . . "

Does this group include Steve Cox, the leftist congressional candidate in California who advocates shooting anti-vaxxers? (See article in PJ Media.)

[Regulator]

That's what happens when you let an arrogant South American Communist like Alejandro "Popeye" Mayorkas take over the most powerful police agency in the country.

Nothing but a Fidelista DGI cutout with all the power of the Patriot Act. Thanks Bush, you dimwitted clown. Everyone warned about this.

[Gene Eric]

The election was stolen, and forcing the vax on children is predatory.

[beethovenfan]

Should be renamed “Summary of terrorism threat to the deep state dictators”.

[Steve_Seattle]

"They allowed them to loot, burn, destroy, assault and terrorize last year, and never called it terrorism."

And you may recall that after that summer of BLM rioting, in the run-up to the election the press was warning about "white-supremacists" and asking Trump to denounce them! That's gaslighting on steroids.

[KTM rider]

One strategy they are implementing is to flush Useful Idiot liberals and black racist activists into Red states in order to dilute the population and make it more difficult if not impossible to divide states along clearly defined lines

to ensure that the hate and division they cultivate is not defensible

[Romulus]

Thanks Dubya.

[dadfly]

yup. and it even worked here. so many posters were saying that we need to sit down and shut up now. no more rallies, no more demonstrations, they’ll just be used against us.

even President Trump seemed cowed by it all.

which is why we’ve got to get back in their faces, get back in the streets, move forward “wise as serpents and as harmless as doves,” with absolutely no fear, but the good fear and trust in God, Himself. isn’t that our motto: In God We Trust. time to get back to that.

[eyeamok]

Maybe the FBI could start Firebombing Churches full of Women and Children again to get the point across??
