From the time President Trump was elected in 2016 and it
became obvious the FBI had become weaponized bring down that lawful election, I
hear Conservative pundits (Pundits I like and still track mind you)
stipulate the FBI leadership was corrupt but the FBI rank-and-file for the most
part clean supporters of the rule of law.
Frankly, I trusted the Just rank-and-file
characterization for a long time. Toward the end of Trump’s First Term of
Office ended by a criminal Election Coup, I abandoned that rank-and-file trust.
If there are Constitutional rule of law-minded FBI Agents, THEY ARE THE
MINORITY not the norm.
Clearly the FBI, all Federal alphabet law enforcement
agencies, DOJ bureaucrats and I speculate a majority of the Judicial Branch
looked the other way when election crimes were committed to remove President
Trump from Office. AND under the fraudulently elected Administration of
dementia-infested Beijing Biden, crimes against Conservatives more than likely
will increase. WHY?
The obvious reason is the ONLY way Dem-Marxists can maintain
power is to vilify Americans who stand by our Founding Documents and traditions
of American Liberty as criminals. Obama’s “Fundamental Transformation of America”
can ONLY be completed if true lovers of America are branded as criminals,
prosecuted, probably incarcerated or politically banned from elected Offices
with framed felonies attached to their names.
The criminalization is ongoing as I type these thoughts!
Here’s a mere snapshot.

The FBI's role in the Jan. 6 Capitol fracas is absolutely
disgusting
By J.B. Shurk
June 17, 2021
American
Thinker (H/T Israpundit)
Do you remember how conservatives went out of their way to
separate rank-and-file FBI agents from the corrupt actions of Jim Comey, Andrew
McCabe, Bill Priestap, James Baker, James Rybicki, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, and
others as more evidence came to light revealing that the top brass at the bureau had worked to create
an "insurance policy" that could be used to
overthrow President Trump from office? Writers and television
pundits would always couch any criticism of the bureau in some respectful
language like "we're only talking about high-ranking officials here, not
the FBI, itself, which is filled with the best agents in the world who are
always looking out for America."
I think we can dispense with the overly protective
pleasantries at this point. The FBI is a goon squad of un-American
thugs who have taken the worst elements of East Germany's Stasi police
state and Cosa Nostra's organized crime and turned them into a
blueprint for exercising and keeping illegitimate power over their
enemies. They aren't a law enforcement organization, and they
certainly don't give a rat's rear end about justice. They're regime
enforcers with badges.
If the stated reason for the FBI's inception was to pursue
federal crimes that might otherwise be unenforced or overlooked in the interstate
wilderness separating local jurisdictions, J. Edgar Hoover wasted no time
turning the bureau into a personal domestic intelligence force capable of
intimidating political enemies and insulating himself from potential removal
through the use of blackmail. Before Jim Comey was secretly leaking to the press and using Hillary
Clinton's "Russia collusion" dossier in an operation to take down President
Trump, Mark Felt, the FBI's second-in-command at the time of the Watergate
scandal and the anonymous "Deep Throat" who made Woodward and Bernstein
famous, actually succeeded in secretly bringing down President
Nixon. In this way, the FBI has at least as much experience
overthrowing American governments as it does any enemy state.
You'd think it was sufficiently clear, as evidence mounted
over the last five years, that Comey
and Co. had undertaken a mission (with John Brennan at
CIA, Bruce
Ohr at Main Justice, Nellie Ohr and Glenn Simpson at Fusion
GPS, Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice, James Clapper, and Christopher Steele,
the Russia hoax dossier author and former Russia desk head at Britain's MI6) to
frame the sitting president of the United States as a Russian asset by
repeatedly filing fraudulent FISA affidavits with America's
secret surveillance court, among other unprosecuted crimes, to spy on Donald Trump and his
associates. But there were also the efforts of Rod Rosenstein,
Andrew Weissmann, Robert Mueller, and their army of fifty FBI agents who spent
two years trying to entrap President Trump on phony
"obstruction of justice" charges during a bogus special counsel witch hunt.
Just as the FBI has subverted justice in order to "get Trump," it has gone out of its way to
provide the Democratic Party and all its "intersectional" tribes
general immunity. After disgraced FBI director James Comey laid out
the elements for a prosecutable case against Hillary Clinton in
2016 for storing top-secret material on a bathroom server easily accessible to
China and Russia, he immediately dismissed the idea of criminal charges,
insisting that no "reasonable prosecutor" could obtain a conviction —
an admission that either federal prosecutors or federal juries are incapable of
punishing Democrats. When the Russia hoax was finally revealed as an
Intelligence Community operation run out of the Obama White House to spy on the
Trump campaign and implode his presidency, nobody in charge was ever held
accountable. And Black Lives Matter and Antifa have, more or less,
run roughshod over America with the FBI's blessing and backing — leaving no doubt
that the U.S. has an intentionally rigged two-tiered justice system that
protects Democrats at all costs while persecuting Republicans without remorse.
However, if a century's worth of nostalgic television and
film propaganda portraying the bureau as a collection of "white hats"
committed to doing good lulled anyone into still believing that the FBI is
anything other than irredeemably corrupt and malevolent — from Director Wray
down to the lowliest parking attendant — then an exposé in Revolver News detailing
the FBI's probable infiltration of the January 6 voting rights protest and
political rally in D.C. and the likelihood that undercover agents instigated
and actively participated in the events at the Capitol that day should put the
matter to bed once and for all.
Revolver went through the available indictments
filed against Americans for breaching the Capitol and noted numerous "unindicted
co-conspirators ... all playing various roles in the conspiracy" who have
been neither named nor charged. What Revolver tees up with its
reporting, Tucker Carlson smashes onto the green with his blunt conclusion: "It means that in
potentially every single case, they were FBI operatives[.] ... So FBI
operatives were organizing the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, according to
government documents." [Bold Text JRH Blog Editor]
Armchair sleuths have been analyzing available footage of that day for months, and
many have provided convincing evidence that members of Antifa and Black Lives Matter had not only covertly
infiltrated the pro-Trump rally crowd but were actively breaking glass doors
and pushing into the Capitol Complex. [Blog Editor Bold Text] There's
even video of a small cell of initial trespassers
dressed all in black from head to toe operating in an organized fashion as they
entered the premises that has gone viral as purported evidence that the mayhem
on January 6 was due, at least partially, to the actions of a classic false
flag operation meant to undermine Trump-supporters.
What Revolver's analysis of the DOJ's charging documents
shows, though, is that not just BLM and Antifa, but also FBI undercover
agents were almost certainly up to no good that day. [Blog Editor bold Text] That's
a lot of outside interlopers pretending to be Trump rally-goers for the FBI to
insist that the same MAGA crowd that has never once engaged in violence or
property damage over the course of hundreds of similar events during the last
five years — dressed in patriotic garb and draped in American flags —
spontaneously turned a festive, carnival-like party into a "siege"
and "rebellion" against the United States. And it's especially suspicious when video footage shows cops waving protesters into the Capitol Building
and when the only person killed that day was an unarmed Air Force veteran at the hands of a
yet-unidentified Capitol police officer.
Democrats, the U.S. military, the Department of
"Justice," Liz Cheney [TRAITOR ALERT], and the official
state-controlled press have steamrolled the country with endless smears and
hyperbolic claims against Trump voters, painting them as murderers and traitors
and framing the Capitol incursion as a historical event of carnage and
nefarious intent equal to America's darkest days — the Civil War, 9/11, the
1995 Oklahoma City bombing. Yet the FBI was on the ground
stirring things up the whole time. [Blog Editor Bold Text]
Attorney General Merrick Garland pushed this false claim
further by standing before the nation and declaring that the nation's greatest threat
comes from Americans who advocate "the superiority of the white
race." As proof for this outrageous assertion, the highest law
enforcement officer in the land pointed repeatedly to January
6. Clearly, the FBI and DOJ have decided that targeting President
Trump for five years is no longer sufficient. All Trump voters must be destroyed now, too.
If that doesn't tank the FBI's reputation, then what
possibly could?

Black Lives Matter-Antifa mobs have caused
over one billion dollars in damages in cities
across America since May. In Minneapolis alone Black Lives Matter mobs damaged
or destroyed over 1,500 businesses or buildings.
Over 700 police officers were injured in the BLM
riots — and that was back in June!
Black Lives Matter was linked to conservatively 91% of the riots that resulted in the most
expensive property damage in US insurance history.
Democrats incited the Black Lives Matter mobs for months
as they destroyed communities across the country.
Throughout 2020 there were zero Trump rallies that turned
into violent riots and zero damages.
Since January the Deep State and Democrats will not
release video tapes to the Republican lawmakers from January 6th inside or
outside the US Capitol.
There’s likely a reason for that.
Who ever saw a group of black block Trump supporters lead
a violent break-in of a federal government facility?
It’s never happened.

On Tuesday Revolver News published an important piece on the
“unindicted co-conspirators” in the Jan. 6 attack who were never charged by the
DOJ or FBI for their part in the violence on Jan. 6.
Via Revolver News:
Of all the questions asked,
words spoken, and ink spilled on the so-called “Capitol Siege” of January 6,
2021, none hold the key to the entire event quite like what Sen. Amy Klobuchar
asked of Christopher Wray.
The Democrat from Minnesota
asked the Trump-appointed FBI Director: Did the federal government infiltrate
any of the so-called “militia” organizations claimed to be responsible for
planning and executing the Capitol Siege?…
Rumble VIDEO: Sen.
Klobuchar Asks Wray About Deep State Infiltration on Jan 6
[Posted by The Gateway Pundit
Published June 15, 2021]
…We at Revolver News have
noticed a pattern from our now months-long investigation into 1/6 — and in
particular from our meticulous study of the charging documents related to those
indicted. In many cases the unindicted co-conspirators appear to be much more
aggressive and egregious participants in the very so-called “conspiracy” serving
as the basis for charging those indicted.
The question immediately arises
as to why this is the case, and forces us to consider whether certain
individuals are being protected from indictment because they were involved in
1/6 as undercover operatives or confidential informants for a federal agency.
Here it is useful to draw a
distinction between two discrete categories of participants in the so-called
Capitol Siege.
The first category is the group
of mostly harmless tourists who walked through already opened doors and
already-removed barricades, and at most were guilty of minor trespassing
charges and light property offenses. The second group consists of those who
were violent with police officers, broke down barricades, smashed windows,
belonged to a “militia” group engaged in military-style planning prior to the
event, discussed transporting heavy weaponry, and so forth.
Up until now, the overwhelming
(perhaps exclusive) share of counter-establishment reporting on 1/6 has focused
on absolving the first group. And this is a valuable thing. The notion that
these harmless “MAGA moms” wandering around the Capitol were domestic
terrorists engaged in an insurrection is absurd. That many of these people are
being held in prison, without bail, under harsh conditions, amounts to an
unacceptable and outrageous abuse of basic human rights.
However, the possibility that
the federal government had undercover operatives or informants involved in the
events of 1/6, from its planning to its execution, compels us to turn our
attention to the second category of participants.
Revolver News then goes into detail on how the
move violent plotters in the Gretchen Whitmer “kidnapping” plot (5 of 13) were
government informants.
Then Revolver News shows the parallels between the Whitmer
“kidnappers” and the Jan. 6 Oath Keepers who were behind the planning of the
operations that day and who, like the plotters in Michigan, paid for the hotel
rooms and bus rental to the US Capitol on Jan. 6.
Several apparent government informants were NOT CHARGED on
Jan. 6 protests.
Isn’t that interesting?
Someone needs to ask liar Chris Wray how many of the US
Capitol protesters were paid informants for the FBI.

Blog Editor: Jim Hoft made a 2nd June 15 post
about FBI Jan 6 infiltration and incitement. This post repeats much of the
above info relating to the Revolver story. But towards the end focuses on the
FBI recruiting a former Green Beret to infiltrate MAGA Trumpers on Jan 6. That
Green Beret is Jeremy Brown. I’m going to cross post TGP Brown back story
and of the Banned Video interview conducted with Brown that includes audio of
the FBI recruitment efforts.
Here is Jeremy’s story.
Jeremy Brown is a Green Beret and former
Republican candidate for Congress in Florida’s 14th
Congressional District. Brown served in the United States Army from 1992 to
2012 and reached the rank of Special Forces Master Sergeant.
Jeremy also attended the Stop the Steal protests in
Washington DC on January 6. Jeremy joined the Oath Keepers in November and went
to Washington DC to provide security at the many protests and rallies that
week.
Last March, Jeremy Brown started speaking out about how the
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF)
contacted him and attempted to recruit him to spy on patriots and everyday
Americans.
In December FBI agents contacted Jeremy Brown at his home
for “posting some things online.”
Jeremy released video surveillance of the FBI contacting him
at his home. And Jeremy released an audio recording of his actual meetup with
the FBI. Jeremy struggled for months about whether or not to go public with
this information. But according to his Facebook page — “After listening to
politicians and the FBI Director, Chris Wray, tell lie after bald-faced lie to
the American People, he could not stay silent any longer.”
Jeremy decided his desire to protect and defend the American
people and the TRUTH are more important than privacy or personal safety.
Earlier this year Jeremy joined Brandon Gray on Banned.TV to
describe what happened to him after he joined the Oath Keepers in November.
Jeremy released a video of his encounter with government
officials when they came to his home. Jeremy also released audio of his meeting
with the FBI at a local restaurant.
Jeremy explains in his recent video that the FBI called his
cellphone and asked for a meeting after trying to contact him at his house.
Jeremy then met with the FBI agents at a restaurant in Ybor City in December.
He told Brandon Gray that 38 seconds into the interview the FBI attempted to
recruit him to spy on the Oath Keepers.

National security apparatus in total panic over election
audit results, rising backlash against tyranny and corruption
HRR-2021-06-17-Situation-Update

(Natural News)
The national security “deep state” is in
an outright panic right now, desperately hoping to criminalize political
opponents of the Biden regime before the results of the Arizona / Maricopa
County ballot audit are revealed. The hand counting portion of the audit is now
complete, and final results are expected in as little as ten days (around June
26th).
Corrupt national security operators know that once the audit
results are made public, America will see that around 200,000 ballots
are either fraudulent or missing, and Arizona will move to decertify its
electoral college votes, thrusting the entire Biden “victory” into question.
With audit efforts spreading to other states, it won’t be long before enough
states decertify the electoral votes to push Biden below the electoral victory
threshold of 270, effectively nullifying the Biden “presidency.”
In order to stop that from happening, it appears the corrupt
DOJ and FBI are plotting the largest false
flag event in American history as a way to terrorize the
nation into obedience while distracting from election audit results. In the
same way that the Jan. 6th capitol siege — which
was clearly run by the FBI — instantly shut down all talk of
US Senators even considering alternate electoral college votes submitted by
many red states, the deep state knows that rolling out a massive false flag
attack as the Arizona election results are released will drastically shift the
narrative and focus the American people on media-induced hatred aimed at
conservatives and gun owners.
This is why we expect to see the deep state attempt to pull
off a large-scale mass shooting or bombing event of some kind, either in June
or July, followed by media hysteria and a demand for nationwide gun
confiscation and national security investigations into Trump supporters. In
order for the Marxists to hold power, they must create a new crisis and
use it to strip away any remaining constitutional protections from the American
people.
They’ve already destroyed free speech and free elections;
now they must destroy the freedom to bear arms and the freedom to express
dissent via the First Amendment.
As Darren Beattie of Revolver.news now asks, “Does the
national security apparatus do anything but conspire against the American
people?”

Who Is a “Terrorist” in Biden’s America?
By Whitney
Webb
JUNE 18, 2021
Far from being a war against “white supremacy,” the Biden
administration’s new “domestic terror” strategy clearly targets primarily those
who oppose US government overreach and those who oppose capitalism and/or
globalization.
In the latest sign that the US government’s War on Domestic
Terror is growing in scope and scale, the White House on Tuesday revealed the
nation’s first ever government-wide
strategy for confronting domestic terrorism. While cloaked in
language about stemming racially motivated violence, the strategy places those
deemed “anti-government” or “anti-authority” on a par with racist extremists
and charts out policies that could easily be abused to silence or even
criminalize online criticism of the government.
Even more disturbing is the call to essentially fuse
intelligence agencies, law enforcement, Silicon Valley, and “community” and
“faith-based” organizations such as the Anti-Defamation League, as well as
unspecified foreign governments, as partners in this “war,” which the strategy
makes clear will rely heavily on a pre-crime orientation focused largely on
what is said on social media and encrypted platforms. Though the strategy
claims that the government will “shield free speech and civil liberties” in
implementing this policy, its contents reveal that it is poised to gut both.
Indeed, while framed publicly as chiefly targeting
“right-wing white supremacists,” the strategy itself makes it clear that the
government does not plan to focus on the Right but instead will pursue
“domestic terrorists” in “an ideologically neutral, threat-driven manner,” as
the law “makes no distinction based on political view—left, right or center.”
It also states that a key goal of this strategic framework is to ensure “that
there is simply no governmental tolerance . . . of violence as an acceptable
mode of seeking political or social change,” regardless of a perpetrator’s
political affiliation.
Considering that the main cheerleaders for the War on
Domestic Terror exist mainly in establishment left circles, such individuals
should rethink their support for this new policy given that the above
statements could easily come to encompass Black Lives Matter–related protests,
such as those that transpired last summer, depending on which political party
is in power.
Once the new infrastructure is in place, it will remain
there and will be open to the same abuses perpetrated by both political parties
in the US during the lengthy War on Terror following September 11, 2001. The
history of this new “domestic terror” policy, including its
origins in the Trump administration, makes this clear.
It’s Never Been Easier to Be a “Terrorist”
In introducing the strategy, the Biden administration cites
“racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists” as a key reason for the
new policy and a main justification for the War on Domestic Terror in general.
This was most recently demonstrated Tuesday in Attorney General Merrick
Garland’s statement announcing
this new strategy. However, the document itself puts “anti-government” or
“anti-authority” “extremists” in the same category as violent white
supremacists in terms of being a threat to the homeland. The strategy’s
characterization of such individuals is unsettling.
AG Merrick Garland: “In the FBI’s view, the top domestic violent extremist threat comes from racially or ethically motivated violent extremists specifically those who advocate for the superiority of the white race.”

In addition, the phrasing indicates that it could easily
include as “terrorists” those who oppose the World Economic Forum’s vision for
global “stakeholder capitalism,” as that form of “capitalism” involves
corporations and their main “stakeholders” creating a new global economic and
governance system. The WEF’s stakeholder capitalism thus involves both
“capitalism” and “corporate globalization.”
The strategy also includes those who “take steps to
violently resist government authority . . . based on perceived overreach.”
This, of course, creates a dangerous situation in which the government could,
purposely or otherwise, implement a policy that is an obvious overreach and/or
blatantly unconstitutional and then label those who resist it “domestic
terrorists” and deal with them as such—well before the overreach can be
challenged in court.
Another telling addition to this group of potential
“terrorists” is “any other individual or group who engages in violence—or
incites imminent violence—in opposition to legislative, regulatory or other
actions taken by the government.” Thus, if the government implements a policy
that a large swath of the population finds abhorrent, such as launching a new,
unpopular war abroad, those deemed to be “inciting” resistance to the action
online could be considered domestic terrorists.
Such scenarios are not unrealistic, given the loose way in
which the government and the media have defined things like “incitement” and
even “violence” (e. g., “hate
speech” is a form of violence) in the recent past. The situation is
ripe for manipulation and abuse. To think the federal government (including the
Biden administration and subsequent administrations) would not abuse such power
reflects an ignorance of US political history, particularly when the main
forces behind most terrorist incidents in the nation are actually US government
institutions like
the FBI (more FBI examples here, here, here, and here).
Furthermore, the original plans for the
detention of American dissidents in the event of a national
emergency, drawn up during the Reagan era as part of its “continuity of
government” contingency, cited popular nonviolent opposition to US intervention
in Latin America as a potential “emergency” that could trigger the activation
of those plans. Many of those “continuity of government” protocols remain on
the books today and can be triggered, depending on the whims of those in power.
It is unlikely that this new domestic terror framework will be any different
regarding nonviolent protest and demonstrations.
Yet another passage in this section of the strategy states
that “domestic terrorists” can, “in some instances, connect and intersect with
conspiracy theories and other forms of disinformation and misinformation.” It
adds that the proliferation of such “dangerous” information “on Internet-based
communications platforms such as social media, file-upload sites and end-to-end
encrypted platforms, all of these elements can combine and amplify threats to
public safety.”
Thus, the presence of “conspiracy theories” and information deemed
by the government to be “misinformation” online is itself framed as threatening
public safety, a claim made more than once in this policy document. Given that
a major “pillar” of the strategy involves eliminating online material that
promotes “domestic terrorist” ideologies, it seems inevitable that such efforts
will also “connect and intersect” with the censorship of “conspiracy theories”
and narratives that the establishment finds inconvenient or threatening for any
reason.
Pillars of Tyranny
The strategy notes
in several places that this new domestic-terror policy will involve a variety
of public-private partnerships in order to “build a community to address
domestic terrorism that extends not only across the Federal Government but also
to critical partners.” It adds, “That includes state, local, tribal and
territorial governments, as well as foreign allies and partners, civil society,
the technology sector, academic, and more.”
The mention of foreign allies and partners is important as
it suggests a multinational approach to what is supposedly a US “domestic”
issue and is yet
another step toward a transnational security-state apparatus.
A similar multinational approach was used to devastating effect during the
CIA-developed Operation
Condor, which was used to target and “disappear” domestic
dissidents in South America in the 1970s and 1980s. The foreign allies
mentioned in the Biden administration’s strategy are left unspecified, but it
seems likely that such allies would include the rest of the Five Eyes alliance
(the UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand) and Israel, all of which already have
well-established information-sharing agreements with the US for signals
intelligence.
The new domestic-terror strategy has four main “pillars,”
which can be summarized as (1) understanding and sharing domestic
terrorism-related information, including with foreign governments and private
tech companies; (2) preventing domestic terrorism recruitment and mobilization
to violence; (3) disrupting and deterring domestic terrorism activity; and (4)
confronting long-term contributors to domestic terrorism.
The first pillar involves the mass accumulation of data
through new information-sharing partnerships and the deepening of existing
ones. Much of this information sharing will involve increased data mining and
analysis of statements made openly on the internet, particularly on social
media, something already done by US intelligence contractors such as Palantir.
While the gathering of such information has been ongoing for years, this policy
allows even more to be shared and legally used to make cases against
individuals deemed to have made threats or expressed “dangerous” opinions
online.
Included in the first pillar is the need to increase
engagement with financial institutions concerning the financing of “domestic
terrorists.” US banks, such as Bank of America, have already gone quite far in
this regard, leading to accusations that it has begun acting like an
intelligence agency. Such claims were made after it was
revealed that the BofA had passed to the government the
private banking information of over two hundred people that the bank deemed as
pointing to involvement in the events of January 6, 2021. It seems likely,
given this passage in the strategy, that such behavior by banks will soon
become the norm, rather than an outlier, in the United States.
The second pillar is ostensibly focused on preventing the
online recruitment of domestic terrorists and online content that leads to the
“mobilization of violence.” The strategy notes that this pillar “means reducing
both supply and demand of recruitment materials by limiting widespread
availability online and bolstering resilience to it by those who nonetheless
encounter it.“ The strategy states that such government efforts in the past
have a “mixed record,” but it goes on to claim that trampling on civil
liberties will be avoided because the government is “consulting extensively”
with unspecified “stakeholders” nationwide.
Regarding recruitment, the strategy states that “these
activities are increasingly happening on Internet-based communications
platforms, including social media, online gaming platforms, file-upload sites
and end-to-end encrypted platforms, even as those products and services
frequently offer other important benefits.” It adds that “the widespread
availability of domestic terrorist recruitment material online is a national
security threat whose front lines are overwhelmingly private-sector online
platforms.”
The US government plans to provide “information to assist
online platforms with their own initiatives to enforce their own terms of
service that prohibits the use of their platforms for domestic terrorist
activities” as well as to “facilitate more robust efforts outside the
government to counter terrorists’ abuse of Internet-based communications
platforms.”
Given the wider definition of “domestic terrorist” that now
includes those who oppose capitalism and corporate globalization as well as
those who resist government overreach, online content discussing these and
other “anti-government” and “anti-authority” ideas could soon be treated in the
same way as online Al Qaeda or ISIS propaganda. Efforts, however, are unlikely
to remain focused on these topics. As Unlimited
Hangout reported last November, both UK intelligence
and the US national-security state were developing plans to treat critical
reporting on the COVID-19 vaccines as “extremist” propaganda.
Another key part of this pillar is the need to “increase
digital literacy” among the American public, while censoring “harmful content”
disseminated by “terrorists” as well as by “hostile foreign powers seeking to
undermine American democracy.” The latter is a clear reference to the claim
that critical reporting of US government policy, particularly its military and
intelligence activities abroad, was the product of “Russian disinformation,” a
now discredited claim that was used to heavily censor independent media. This
new government strategy appears to promise more of this sort of thing.
It also notes that “digital literacy” education for a
domestic audience is being developed by the Department of Homeland Security
(DHS). Such a policy would have previously violated US law until the Obama
administration worked with Congress to
repeal the Smith-Mundt Act, thus lifting the ban on the
government directing propaganda at domestic audiences.
The third pillar of the strategy seeks to increase the
number of federal prosecutors investigating and trying domestic-terror cases.
Their numbers are likely to jump as the definition of “domestic terrorist” is
expanded. It also seeks to explore whether “legislative reforms could
meaningfully and materially increase our ability to protect Americans from acts
of domestic terrorism while simultaneously guarding against potential abuse of
overreach.” In contrast to past public statements on police reform by those in
the Biden administration, the strategy calls to “empower” state and local law
enforcement to tackle domestic terrorism, including with increased access to
“intelligence” on citizens deemed dangerous or subversive for any number of
reasons.
To that effect, the strategy states the following (p. 24):
“The Department of Justice,
Federal Bureau of Investigation, and Department of Homeland Security, with
support from the National Counterterrorism Center [part of the intelligence
community], are incorporating an increased focus on domestic terrorism into
current intelligence products and leveraging current mechanisms of information
and intelligence sharing to improve the sharing of domestic terrorism-related
content and indicators with non-Federal partners. These agencies are also
improving the usability of their existing information-sharing platforms,
including through the development of mobile applications designed to provide a
broader reach to non-Federal law enforcement partners, while simultaneously refining
that support based on partner feedback.”
Such an intelligence tool could easily be, for example,
Palantir, which is already used by the intelligence agencies, the DHS, and
several US police departments for “predictive policing,” that is, pre-crime actions.
Notably, Palantir has long included a “subversive”
label for individuals included on government and law enforcement databases, a
parallel with the controversial and highly secretive
Main Core database of US dissidents.
DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas made the “pre-crime”
element of the new domestic terror strategy explicit on Tuesday when he said
in a
statement that DHS would continue “developing key partnerships
with local stakeholders through the Center
for Prevention Programs and Partnerships (CP3) to identify
potential threats and prevent terrorism.” CP3, which replaced DHS’ Office for
Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention this past May, officially “supports
communities across the United States to prevent individuals from radicalizing
to violence and intervene when individuals have already radicalized to
violence.”
The fourth pillar of the strategy is by far the most opaque
and cryptic, while also the most far-reaching. It aims to address the sources
that cause “terrorists” to mobilize “towards violence.” This requires “tackling
racism in America,” a lofty goal for an administration headed by the man
who controversially
eulogized Congress’ most ardent segregationist and who
was a
key architect of the 1994 crime bill. As well, it provides for
“early intervention and appropriate care for those who pose a danger to
themselves or others.”
In regard to the latter proposal, the Trump administration,
in a bid to “stop mass shootings before they occur,” considered a proposal to
create a “health
DARPA” or “HARPA” that would monitor the online communications
of everyday Americans for “neuropsychiatric” warning signs that someone might
be “mobilizing towards violence.” While the Trump administration did not create
HARPA or adopt this policy, the Biden administration has
recently announced plans to do so.
Finally, the strategy indicates that this fourth pillar is
part of a “broader priority”: “enhancing faith in government and addressing the
extreme polarization, fueled by a crisis of disinformation and misinformation
often channeled through social media platforms, which can tear Americans apart
and lead some to violence.” In other words, fostering trust in government while
simultaneously censoring “polarizing” voices who distrust or criticize the
government is a key policy goal behind the Biden administration’s new
domestic-terror strategy.
Calling Their Shots?
While this is a new strategy, its origins lie in the Trump
administration. In October 2019, Trump’s attorney general William Barr formally
announced in a memorandum that a new “national disruption and
early engagement program” aimed at detecting those “mobilizing towards
violence” before they commit any crime would launch in the coming months. That
program, known as DEEP (Disruption and Early Engagement Program), is now active
and has involved the Department of Justice, the FBI, and “private sector
partners” since its creation.
Barr’s announcement of DEEP followed his unsettling
“prediction” in July 2019 that “a major incident may occur at any time that
will galvanize public opinion on these issues.” Not long after that speech, a
spate of mass shootings occurred, including the El Paso Walmart shooting, which
killed twenty-three and about which many questions remain
unanswered regarding the FBI’s apparent foreknowledge of the
event. After these events took place in 2019, Trump called for the creation of
a government backdoor into encryption and the very pre-crime system that Barr
announced shortly thereafter in October 2019. The Biden administration, in
publishing this strategy, is merely finishing what Barr started.
Indeed, a “prediction” like Barr’s in 2019 was offered by
the DHS’ Elizabeth Neumann during a Congressional hearing in late February
2020. That hearing was largely ignored by the media as it coincided with an
international rise of concern regarding COVID-19. At
the hearing, Neumann, who previously coordinated the development of
the government’s post-9/11 terrorism information sharing strategies and
policies and worked closely with the intelligence community, gave the following
warning about an imminent “domestic terror” event in the United States:
“And every counterterrorism
professional I speak to in the federal government and overseas feels like we
are at the doorstep of another 9/11, maybe not something that catastrophic in
terms of the visual or the numbers, but that we can see it building and we
don’t quite know how to stop it.”
This “another 9/11” emerged on January 6, 2021, as the
events of that day in the Capitol were quickly labeled as such by both the
media and prominent politicians, while also inspiring calls from the White
House and the Democrats for a “9/11-style commission” to investigate the incident.
This event, of course, figures prominently in the justification for the new
domestic-terror strategy, despite the considerable video and other evidence
that shows that Capitol
law enforcement, and potentially the FBI, were directly
involved in facilitating
the breach of the Capitol. In addition, when one considers that
the QAnon movement, which had a clear role in the events of January 6, was itself
likely a government-orchestrated psyop,
the government hand in creating this situation seems clear.
It goes without saying that the official reasons offered for
these militaristic “domestic terror” policies, which the US has already
implemented abroad—causing much more terror than it has prevented—does not
justify the creation of a massive new national-security infrastructure that
aims to criminalize and censor online speech. Yet the admission that this new
strategy, as part of a broader effort to “enhance faith in government,”
combines domestic propaganda campaigns with the censorship and pursuit of those
who distrust government heralds the end of even the illusion of democracy in
the United States.

Blog Editor: Now for Alex Jones. The video you are about
to watch a couple of years ago I would have chalked up to a mindless Alex Jones
rant. And indeed Jones sounds virulently-vocal in portions of this video –
especially in the first 20-minutes or so. BUT NOW … I credit Jones with some
passion I pray more and more Americans acquire or WE THE PEOPLE are doomed to
an era of transformed Marxist tyrannical totalitarianism.
