DHS chief warns of "emerging threat of the domestic violent extremist"
Axios ^ | 11 Sep 22 | staff

Posted on 09/12/2022 2:58:20 PM PDT by Alas Babylon!

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told MSNBC on Sunday the "threat landscape" has evolved in the 21 years since the 9/11 attacks from concerns about foreign terrorists to domestic extremists.

What he's saying: "Back when 9/11 occurred, in those years we were very focused on the foreign terrorist, the individual who sought to do a severe harm to enter the United States and do us harm," Mayorkas said in his interview with MSNBC's Jonathan Capehart.

"It's then evolved, we began to be more and more concerned about the individuals already resident in the United States radicalized by a foreign terrorist ideology," Mayorkas continued. "Now we are seeing are seeing an emerging threat ... over the last several years of the domestic violent extremist," he added. "The individual here in the United States radicalized to violence by a foreign terrorist ideology, but also an ideology of hate, anti-government sentiment, false narratives propagated on online platforms, even personal grievances."

Yup. Antifa and BLM thugs hired by Democrats to cause violence, death and destruction.. The MSM Media will never disclose the real domestic terrorists.. because they are their brethren.

You were right, I was wrong.

Add to our many list of things:

Restore the federal government to just the duties and responsibilities enumerated in the Constitution!

-No FBI
-No DHS
-Military for foreign enemies
-—Local police and states handle criminals—not FedGov

Wow. Who could have predicted that the Left would turn the security state apparatus on ordinary Americans?

Did a great job too. /s

Think you can handle those PTA meetings in today's threat environment?

The 9-11-2001 attacks were indeed “domestic”. The FBI was so focused on foreign threats that they ignored reports of Muslim aviation students who didn’t care about landing. Jamie Gorelick’s “wall of separation” of intel and crime led to the epic failure to discern the plot. Our current mess is a destructive over-reaction to those errors.

But DHS seems happy to leave the US’s doors wide open both to terrorists who enter on student and tourist visas, immigrate, border-jump, etc., and the vast number of more prosaic criminals who are flooding in to rape, murder, and steal. Illegal aliens haven’t slaughtered thousands of Americans without resort to terrorism, just crime.

But freedom-minded Americans are a threat to Democrat power.

At this point I am afraid that the only purge that will work is ROPES & LAMPOSTS or a BRICK WALL & 7.62 MILIMETER!

“Wow. Who could have predicted that the Left would turn the security state apparatus on ordinary Americans.”

Good point.

Apparently all those liberal 1960’s hair heads like government power used on civilians.
As long as its being used against Trump and MAGA voters, they are “cool with it.”

Remember, from their warped perspective they’re saving democracy from racists & Nazis. So any method is a good method, the Constitution be damned.

He was supposedly a refugee from Castro’s prison island but he might not be what he claims to be or he is just a stupid leftist fool.

The “threat landscape” has only “evolved” in relation to how DHS has changed the definitions of all the terms.

Give me a week with your Dictionary, and I can accomplish a HELLUVA lotta “evolving” of YOUR “landscape,” too.

This notice from the "Chairman of the Committee for Tarring and Feathering" in Boston denounced the tea consignees as "traitors to their country".


 
 
 
 
I wonder if, 250 years from now, there will be a similar plague as this, affixed to some building where Washington DC once stood?

The entire Homeland Security Department was set up to prevent another terrorist attack on the United States and her people

No, it wasn't, but that was the excuse given, and many so-called "Conservatives" cheered it on at the time. "If you don't give up your liberty then you're against 'Merica and the terrorists win." - was the leading cry of the day.

and the DIRECTOR of this powerful, police-powered agency has issued a call to arms against his fellow Americans.

It was always the plan. TIA (Total Information Awareness) was to be the tool to identify normal Americans for targeting.

The deep state has been playing the long game with the help of the uniparty. Only Trump disrupted their schedule.

Now it's back on track and with a vengeance. They know they are fascists. We know they are fascists. They know that we know they are fascists. Most alarmingly now is that now they no longer care that we know.
