The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) published a report recommending an increased focus on scanning the social media accounts of its employees in order to detect “extremism.”
Among the examples of “extremism” cited by DHS are: a belief that fraud occurred in the 2020 election, and objections to current coronavirus policies.
From the DHS report, obtained by Reclaim The Net:
A March 2021 unclassified threat assessment prepared by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), Department of Justice, and DHS, noted that domestic violent extremists “who are motivated by a range of ideologies and galvanized by recent political and societal events in the United States pose an elevated threat to the Homeland in 2021.” The assessment pointed to newer “sociopolitical developments such as narratives of fraud in the recent general election, the emboldening impact of the violent breach of the U.S. Capitol, conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and conspiracy theories promoting violence” that “will almost certainly spur some [domestic violent extremists] [sic] to try to engage in violence this year.”
The report shows increased DHS concern with rooting out “extremists” within its own ranks, including through monitoring the social media accounts of employees.
From the report:
Studies and pilots have suggested that certain online activity may represent behavior of potential concern to national security and could be useful in assessing an individual’s trustworthiness, judgment, or reliability. [Publicly Available Electronic Information], including social media checks, have proven to be of limited value as stand-alone sources of information. However, when coupled with and corroborated by other data and investigative follow-up, the use of PAEI can be a powerful tool in preventing and detecting domestic violent extremism-related threats.
Breitbart News will continue to report on DHS investigations of memes and other social media posts.

Hopefully they prosecute the people claiming vaccines are safe, as that’s the biggest conspiracy in the US today.
How is the DHS not like the Gestapo?
Those are the ones they are protecting.
They will be going after those who say they are unsafe.
I know, of course!
A good thing you are all a bunch of unsocialites
Mayorkas even looks like a communist tyrant, not counting what he’s actually doing.
They aren’t the Gestapo.
They’re the KGB.
They speak English and Spanish?
And the Taliban.
Sounds unconstitutional.
First, fourth and fifth amendment issues.
Or what are founding fathers meant:
Nunya business, government.
No snazzy Hugo Boss uniforms.
That Constitution was a wonderful document.
Too bad it was ignored on Usurpation Day.
It is now a relic in a glass case.
meanwhile, 2 MILLION foreign invaders have crossed our borders while Homeland Insecurity is looking for memes in social media postings. Mayorkas should be behind bars.
“How is the DHS not like the Gestapo?”
Spiffy Uniforms?
Sorry, but that is my only thought about any differences.
But I can come up with lots of similarities.
Kinda like the FBI and the Stasi.
Four of a kind
Six of a kind if you throw in the NKVD and DHS.
Oops, I got carried away. then got redundant.
Our very own GESTASI/KGB/FBI/DOJ
Who knew ...?
There it is in plain & simple language...
The communist are telling us (their serfs) that we better shut up or else...
But wait... Since Reagan’s and Khrushchev’s warnings, we have heard the cries of: “It can’t happen here!” over & over again...
Even here on FR those cries were, to a substantial amount, were repeated...
A brilliant & patriotic Freeper once warned, in a omniscient posting titled “Something Evil this Way Comes”, that, unless fought & stopped, tyranny was in the nation’s future...
Well, something evil came, balkanized the nation, stayed, and, so far, is winning hands down in imposing a dark, long-lasting tyranny on the country...
However, it appears that more than half of the citizenry is ok with it...
