[UPDATED 7/3/21 5:19 PM CT ... I mistakenly wrote "fragrant" despotism when it should have been "flagrant". This update represents that change.]
Independence Day approaches celebrating the Founding of a
nation that has enjoyed individual Liberty and Religious Freedom more than any
nation in history to date. AND YET the flagrant election crimes perpetrated in
America has emboldened despotism from those in power via stolen elections to
render America’s Founding Principles irrelevant by twisting the rule of law as
well as enabling laws by bureaucratic fiat.
American law enforcement more and more are beginning to
resemble Gestapo/KGB/ChiCom enforcement of government whims benefitting the
designs of ruling elites more than WE THE PEOPLE.
I am cross posting two articles illustrating flagrant
despotism.
The first highlights how Beijing Joe’s fraudulent
Administration is weaponizing Federal policing to target Americans who consider
themselves Patriots (lovers of America’s Founding history, Founding
Documents and Christian heritage) as White Supremacist racist domestic
terrorists.
The second is how allegedly business oriented LinkedIn
deleted the account of Dr. Robert Malone – who self-identifies as the inventor
of mRNA vaccines – for warning “… about giving vaccines to individuals under
the age of 18”. I was disappointed to hear this because LinkedIn has pretty
much left me alone and I post on the reported hazards many are experiencing
from the experimental jabs frequently. One of America’s Founding Principles of
Free speech is being flushed down the toilet by adherence to Leftist-lying fact
checkers and the overt coverup of public harm.

Police To Target Americans For Their Ideological Beliefs
And Behaviors

Much has been written about President Joe Biden’s new Domestic
Terror law, but nothing I have seen until now shows just
how horrifying it is.
To say that the White House uses the Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) like political puppets to push their own agenda would be an
understatement. The New Yorker chronicled four
DHS secretaries who were forced to resign by October 2019, and a fifth
who resigned
this January.
So when I heard about DHS counterterrorism chief John Cohen
having a hard time containing his enthusiasm over Biden’s new domestic
terrorism law in a GW Program on Extremism webinar I
knew it couldn’t be good.
Ricardo Vazquez Garcia, from Homeland Security
Today describes
what happened.
Garcia does a great job of framing the Feds justification
for creating a new War On Terror by targeting American citizens.
“A lot of progress was made by
the U.S. government in dealing with the threat posed by foreign terrorist
organizations and in particular dealing with the way those organizations
operated, the way they recruited individuals, the way they communicated, the
way they developed plans, the way they saw to introduce operatives into the
domestic environment, the way they sought to recruit people here domestically,”
Cohen said. “I think it is safe to say that the U.S. created quite a robust
counterterrorism capability. The challenge is the threat we face today is
significantly different than the one we faced after Sept. 11,” DHS
counterterrorism chief John Cohen said.
As America closes in on the 11th anniversary of 9/11, the
Feds want the public to believe that unknown terrorist organizations are
recruiting your neighbor[s] to become a domestic extremist. But it is not just
any neighbor, this time it is far-right “extremists” or White supremacists and
Trump supporters who they want to recruit.
For years DHS officials have warned Americans of the dangers
that lurk just outside their front doors or worse in the far-flung Middle East
where extremists are plotting to bomb us, shoot us, or poison our water
systems. The only difference to the terrorists that await Americans is that now
they are allegedly targeting a person’s ideological beliefs.
According to Cohen, “the most
significant terrorist threat facing the U.S. today comes from individuals or
lone offenders, and small groups of individuals who based on an ideological
belief system, primarily an ideological belief system they self-connect with
online activity, but they’ll go out and commit an act of violence on behalf of
that belief or a combination of ideological beliefs, or a combination of
ideological beliefs and personal grievances.”
What does this mean for Americans?
It means that the Feds can target individuals for expressing
anti-government sentiments.
“In many respects, this is a
much more individualized threat, and what I mean by that is if you look at the
lethal attacks that have occurred in the U.S. over the last several years, they
have been conducted by individuals who spend incredible amounts of time online
viewing extremist content, content about past violent attacks, they tend to be
individuals who have shared behavioral health or environmental characteristics,”
Cohen said.
Targeting people for their ideological beliefs is horrifying
in and of itself. Biden’s new domestic terror law will also give law
enforcement the right to target people based on their behaviors.
“What we mean by that, yes,
the motive and ideological beliefs are important as part of the analytic process,
but the threat tends to come from individuals who have a very superficial
understanding of the ideological belief system they use as the validation for
an act of violence, but they do have shared behavioral characteristics,”
Cohen said.
If any of this is beginning to sound like China, one only
need look at Hong Kong to see the similarities. Speaking out in print
against an authoritative regime is an arrestable
offense, demonstrating
against police brutality is an arrestable offense and so on.
As a recent Brietbart article pointed
out, there is no “official Pentagon definition of extremism.” So how can our
government give more powers to law enforcement to surveil and arrest suspected
“domestic extremists”?
Mike Berry, the general counsel for First Liberty Institute,
said he asked the Counter-Extremism Working Group (CEWG) how it intended to
define “extremism” and the answer he got was something to the effect of: “We’re
still working on that, we’ll probably take the existing definition and expand
it.” Berry said that response was “problematic.”
When an organization that backed
President Trump warns people about Biden’s new domestic terror
law, it is time for all of us to take notice.
Berry warned, “I just don’t know how you can reconcile
the Constitution with trying to criminalize someone’s thoughts and beliefs.”
And that is the crux of the problem.
When DHS counterterrorism chief Cohen goes on record saying,
“There have been several cases where individuals have not met the threshold for
domestic terror yet they eventually go out and commit an act of violence”, they
are admitting that this is another scam that the mass media is only too happy
to perpetuate.
When the Feds and the mass media started asking Americans to
“enhance domestic terrorism reporting” by reporting family
members and co-workers, you know law enforcement has become a mirror
image of other authoritarian regimes.
“Our goal is to enhance domestic
terrorism analysis and improve information sharing throughout law enforcement
at the federal, state, local, Tribal, and territorial level, and where
appropriate with private sector partners.”
“This involves creating
contexts in which those who are family members or friends or co-workers know
that there are pathways and avenues to raise concerns and seek help for those
who they have perceived to be radicalizing and potentially radicalizing towards
violence,” the White House official said.
Imagine if I used the same logic that the Feds and law
enforcement use. It could go something like this:
One day, I looked outside my window and saw my neighbor
talking to a Black man and then I saw them talking to someone who appeared to
be a Muslim but I couldn’t see the person’s face because it was covered with a
hijab. Then I saw my neighbor putting anti-government and Black Lives Matter
signs in their front yard; they even put up a Pride flag. The next day, my
neighbor knocked on my front door asking me to sign a police reform petition.
Little did I know that my wife and kids had already signed the petition.
The next day when I went to work, I overheard my co-workers
saying that they planned to march in a Black Lives Matter protest and asked me
to sign a police brutality petition.
So when I got off work I immediately called DHS’s new, “Be
On The Lookout For Domestic Terrorists” hotline and filed reports on my
neighbors, my family and co-workers, I even called my local police department
and filed reports with the local Fusion Center. I did this to protect my
Homeland, because you never really know about a person’s ideological beliefs
and behaviors. (FYI, there is no domestic terrorism hotline, yet.)
When did freedom of expression become a tool for law
enforcement to identify family members, friends, neighbors and
co-workers as potential extremists?
Giving law enforcement more powers to target people based on
made-up or junk science and unsound definitions of domestic terrorism has all
the earmarks of an ever-expanding police state that began 11 years ago.

LinkedIn Deletes Account of mRNA Vaccine Pioneer Who
Questioned Risks of COVID-19 Shots

Dr. Robert Malone, who identifies himself as the inventor of
mRNA vaccines, said that LinkedIn recently deleted his account after he made
comments about mRNA COVID-19 vaccines and questioned whether they’re
appropriate to give to certain groups of people.
“My business pays for linked in premium. I have been
deleted,” Malone wrote on
Twitter this week. “Purchased a service from linked in to promote my company.
This is very different from the YouTube or Twitter terms. This arbitrary and
capricious action has damaged our business, and we deserve to be compensated.”
It appears his personal account was removed earlier this
week without warning or explanation from LinkedIn, a subsidiary of Microsoft,
said his wife, Jill Malone.
“He was given no notice, no warnings,” she told Just the News. “He has a 10-15 year old
account—has never even had a warning. 6,000 followers.”
Malone explained on Wednesday that the “historic record of
what I have done, stated, figured out (and when) etc. over time is a key part
of establishing my credibility and track record as a professional.” But despite
this, the account “has been erased completely and arbitrarily without warning
or explanation,” he added.
In a subsequent tweet, Malone produced an email from a LinkedIn representative, who said
that his account violated the firm’s user agreement because he posted
“misleading or inaccurate information” about vaccines and COVID-19.
“[LinkedIn] has provided a list of my thoughtcrimes. An
amazing document,” Malone wrote.
The Epoch Times has contacted LinkedIn for comment.
Recently, Malone’s claims to Fox News and other news outlets
about giving vaccines to individuals under the age of 18 were flagged by
several so-called “fact-checking” sites. Malone told NTD’s “The Nation Speaks”
in late June that heart inflammation reports shift the risk-benefit ratio for
children.
“Vaccines save lives. These vaccines have saved lives,”
Malone said, adding that believes the risks associated with mRNA COVID-19
vaccines made by Pfizer and Moderna outweigh the benefits among children.
Speaking to Fox News, Malone said, “I can say that the risk-benefit ratio
for those 18 and below doesn’t justify vaccines, and there’s a pretty good
chance that it doesn’t justify vaccination in these very young adults.”
LinkedIn’s move to ban Malone is the latest attempt by a Big
Tech firm to curb what they describe as “misinformation” regarding COVID-19 vaccines.
Recently, Twitter locked Harvard
Medical School epidemiologist Martin Kulldorff’s account after he expressed a
skeptical viewpoint on whether masks actually provide protection.
And early on in the pandemic, separately, social media firms
suspended the accounts of individuals who questioned the origin of COVID-19
while positing that it may have emerged from a high-security laboratory in
Wuhan, China, in late 2019. However, in recent months, U.S. officials, including members of the 17-agency
Intelligence Community, have begun to question the official narrative from
the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and World Health Organization officials, who
have claimed the virus was transmitted from animals to humans at a wet market.
