“anti-government, anti-authority violent extremism”
Posted on 10/06/2023 5:45:11 AM PDT by MtnClimber
Donald Trump’s supporters are now in the FBI terrorist-investigation crosshairs, according to a new report in Newsweek.
The agency has created “a new category of extremists that it seeks to track and counter: Donald Trump’s army of MAGA followers”; it’s targeting strident Republicans with some of the same counterterrorism methods honed to fight al Qaeda.
Federal bureaucrats heaved together a bunch of letters to contrive an ominous new acronym for the latest peril to domestic tranquility.
The result: AGAAVE — “anti-government, anti-authority violent extremism” — which looks like a typo for a sugar substitute.
The great majority of the FBI’s “current ‘anti-government’ investigations are of Trump supporters,” William Arkin, a highly respected investigative journalist, reported in Newsweek.
The FBI recently vastly expanded the supposed AGAAVE peril by broadening suspicion from “furtherance of ideological agendas” to “furtherance of political and/or social agendas.”
Anyone who has an agenda different from Team Biden’s could be AGAAVE’d for his own good.
The Biden administration is vilifying anti-government opinions at the same time judges are exposing federal crimes.
Federal court decisions in July and September condemned the Biden censorship regime — and those rulings were preceded by Supreme Court decisions striking down President Joe Biden’s student-loan-forgiveness scheme and vaccine mandates.
But Team Biden still presumes anyone who suspects the feds are violating the Constitution is up to no good.
The FBI is required to have (or claim to have) solid information before launching a criminal investigation. But the bureau needs almost zero information to open an “assessment.”
The FBI conducted more than 5,500 domestic-terrorism “assessments” in 2021, a 10-fold increase since 2017 and a 50-fold increase since 2013.
“Assessments are the closest thing to domestic spying that exists in America and generally not talked about by the Bureau,” Arkin noted.

I have no doubt that FR is being monitored. I have seen many posts that seem to be trying to bait someone into saying something violent or into agreeing with a violent statement. These are possibly federal “instigators”. Everyone needs to be careful that they don’t get goaded into a J6 trap.
If you mean Garland’s Dept. of Jesters, YES, THEY ARE!
Trump supporters make up more than half of the country so good luck.
BTTT
WOW, now the “furtherance of ideological agendas” is Verboten!!!
I had better stop quoting from THE FEDERALIST PAPERS. I never knew those old white guys were such bad asses.
One man’s terrorist is another man’s Freedom Fighter.
Yes (obviously).
Hillary is leading the charge for re-education camps for those indoctrinated cult members who support Trump. It’s all coordinated.
Yes. I was visited by an FBI agent and a local detective after J6 regarding a post I made on FR. Either the FBI is monitoring our posts for key words or someone turned me in.
ps
The post in question was benign, the comment had been made many times and in many different places and non threatening. The only thing different was the FBI’s response to J6.
Hitler stuff gets pushed around these days, but this federal government feces is in the seig heil neighborhood and getting Stalinesque. We can’t have opinions that would not be approved by the New York Slimes.
Everyone who visits or posts on FR, Redstate, The Conservative Treehouse, etc. should assume every keystroke, cell phone movement and information on every financial transaction of theirs is being sent to the federal government.
“Violent right wing terrorism”? Do they mean like BLM AND ANTIFA who caused billions upon billions of dollars worth of damage throughout cities, red peoples lives, murdered cops and maga supporters, destroyed businesses, lit buildings on fire with people in them and blocked their exit, commandeered entire city blocks using “assault rifles” and refused to let in conservatives etc etc etc?
Where is all The “right wing violent terrorism”? Where is it? We can point to all kinds of violent left wing extremism, but the left can point to no instances of violent right wing terrorism. Al. They can point t to is a few people PEACEFULLY protesting, ANd to a few more who got out of hand and got into fights and breaking a few windows. And it’s very likely those who Instigated the fights were antifa or other gov plants, and parents PEACEFULLY protesting crt and lgbtq being taught in schools
Woops, i meant all they can point to are “parents who PEACEFULLY protested ar school meetings” didn’t mean to make it appear as thougn i lumped those parents in with antifa plants-
Well duh.
For a moment I had thought that the FBI would be giving information on the whereabouts and habits of Trump Republicans to the likes of Antifa and BLM.
Yep. I’ve heard from a very reliable source that nothing is secure anymore.
