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."

Basically, he never addressed the memory of the dead of 9/11, and the attack on our country, EXCEPT to go on a rampage against Americans who do not agree with him politically and call them domestic violent extremists.

The entire Homeland Security Department was set up to prevent another terrorist attack on the United States and her people and the DIRECTOR of this powerful, police-powered agency has issued a call to arms against his fellow Americans.

He should be impeached.

This is despicable!

He says “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,”

Well, yeah, Alejandro, that IS the purpose... DHS is not a spy agency to use against citizens who have Constitutional rights, you scumbag!

The FBI’s annual CI funding check must have just cleared.

But he ain’t. He’s talking about US.

I absolutely regret the day I thought Bush’s Patriot Act was a good idea!

Good thing the Bushtards created DHS... now a monster useless for anything but emptying our treasury and going after our people.

But at least we’re paying for lots of million-dollar bureaucrats.

These guys are baiting the right like they baited the Russians into starting their attack.

They will be purged from the government, in due time, in due process.

BORN IN CUBA.....one might also say THAT is the problem when considering emerging threats to this country. Especially when they are installed at the very highest level of the DHS.

“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”

1. Mayorkas is keepimg up the lie that Jan 6 was an insurrection”.

2. Mayorkas is a Marxist and an open US southern border and it’s threat to our way of life has long been on the Amrican Marxist agenda.

Hi.

With all the interviews of administration officials, Biteme’s speech, the corrupt corporate media, etc, seems like we are being set up. Another false flag like the Rona.

This makes total sense if you understand that these people believe they ARE the country.

They do not believe in government of the people, by the people, and for the people.

They believe in government of the bureaucrats, by the bureaucrats, and for the bureaucrats.

Alejandro, we already caught them for you! You can rest easy, go out and have a nice dinner at a restaurant and sleep well tonight. The Memphis Police Department has your guys in custody:

“police have arrested and charged 18-year-old Reginald Williams for terrorist threats made on social media” (threatening to kill white people)
