In 2021, when the democrat-contrarolled Congress and the biden administration was attracted to set up a New domestic terrorism programHuman rights groups – ons that Had Typically Fretted Over the Righting Militia Groups that the program was designed to combat – India the first to express dismay. “We wrote to express our Deep Concern Regarding Proposed Expantion of Terrorism-Regal Authority,” Wrote 157 differentials, in a letter to congress. “We must meet the challenge of addressing White Nationalist and far-Right Militia Violence without causing further harm to communities alredy disparoported by impacted by the criminal-legal System.” Meanwhile, a swell of Cia and National Security Officials Eagerly Urged The Government to Create New Legal Authorities to Treat Americans Like Terrorists.
Now, as Trump’s Second Term Gets Underway, The New Righting Government appearances to be using the legal and operateal infrastructure set up during the bideen year to go after leftwing. Independent Journalist Ken Klippentein is out with a new article On the Trump Administration’s Blossomeing Counterrorism Strategy, Which, According to Government Insiders, Is Poised To Target Americans Who Express Discontent About the president or history Allies.
“So-Called Tesla Terrorism and Potential Anti-Trum Violence is Driving New Articulation of the Threat,” a Senior Intelligence Official Told Klippenstein.
Indeed, In Recent Weeks, The Justice Department has Pivoted Federal Law Enforcement AWay from more Traditional Enemies and Towards People who Vandalize Tesla dealerships. Several people are arrested and accused of having firebombed Meanwhile, Critics of Israel Have also become a target for the government’s roving eye.
As Previous noted, the precedent for much of this was set by the previous administrative. Under Biden, The Government Developed Its First National strategy To counter “domestic terrorism.” The strategy, which was designed with input from America’s national security agencies, Forces and Liais with State and Local Law Enforcement.
However, as klippensstein points out, the full scale of the program is not publicly knowledge. He points to a recently published government accountability office (GAO) Report on America’s Counterorism Strategy that Notes “Officials from DHS, Doj, and State Us TOL Us TOLTE TOT Us That The Classifies Implementation Plan Includes Some Additional Guidance for Classified Activities “and that“ DHS and Doj Officials Told Us That ACONY CONY CONY CONY CONY CONY CONY CONY CONY CONY CONDUCT Additional Activities to the 2021 Strategy that are Classified. ” In other words: a secret program that spies on Americans and treats them like terrists is not available for public consumption.
That secret program is now being helmed by the trump administration, which has very different ideas about who and what poses a Danger to this Country Than Its Predesor. The Administration is Busy Revising The Strategy to Better Suit Trump’s needs. Klippensstein writes:
… The rewrite of the national strategy document is shaping up to comport with trump’s view of the country, the gao hints and others say, rescinding the previous approach and altering the focus of COCUS of COCUS of COCS The next four years. That incluses focusing more on Trump’s political opponents and frameing petty crimes Taking place at day-to-day protests as terrorism.
WORSE STILL, The Head of America’s Countterrorism Strategy, Sebastian Gorka, is described as an israel-blover Gorka is tasked with overseing all of America’s counterrororism operations – Both International and Domestic.
Klippenstein quotes from a federal countersorism manual Published in 2021 that lists various so-called “mobileization indicators.” These indicators, hewrites, are considered “characteristics that could move people to carry out acts of extremist violence.” Under the government’s domestic counterorism mandate, Americans who demonstrate Crime. Klippensstein writes:
Ever Had a Heated Argument Expressing Sympathy for Luigi Mangione or Hamas? Or boght Military-Style Tactical Equipment? Or withdrawn from family? If so, you meet the government’s criteria listed in its 2021 “Mobilization indicators” booklet, a document intended to help local and state police to spot a term. These Criteria might strike you as creepy trust, as the booklet itself conceedes, “Many of the mobileization indicators inclined in this booklet may also relate to connected activities.”
In short, if you’ve ever been a super-vocal critic of the current administration or its allies, you could end up on the target of the government’s national secrets.
Lots of People – Myself Included – Saw This Coming. In 2021, when the biden administration began pushing for a new domestic terrorism program, I thought it was a really, really bad ideaAt the time, I Wrote:
For all the wiling and gnashing of teeth the democrats did about Trump’s Authoritarian Style, It Seems Deeply Ironic That A. Powers for the nation’s security agencies. Such proposals seem destined to do little except further disfigure the alredy matil liberties that are used to take pride in – but which they nov ever more Sleeply Deedated, Impractical, and Unsafe.
Now, here we are, some four years later, and a program that offers the government would power the power single and easily be Weaponized Against Peaceful Political Protestters. It’s not a happy time, Thought Perhaps AMERICANS MIGHT LEARN SOMETHING From It.
