US issues terror alert over anti-government extremists

a reply to: Vroomfondel
You still don't see the big picture? All these small measures work together to make it easier for China to work through U.S. officials to make the USA a puppet country...wholly owned by China.

You gotta understand that the left and especially progressives think the right is evil and that they need to save us all from Trump supporters, systemic racism and global warming.

You gotta picture the left like a street preacher except mostly atheist. best to be ignored and keep walking.

What they hate the most is being ignored

Good.

Government is supposed to be afraid of its citizens for it to work properly. I say the system is working as intended.

I don't doubt that china is rubbing its hands together like Mr. Burns in greedy anticipation of the cooperation of jo jo and the ho ho to further its interests in plundering the US. And this only two days after jo jo the idiot boys EO which could give china control of US power grids. jo jo's EO suspends the following Trump EO.

Trump’s Executive Order 13920 declared a national emergency with respect to the nation’s electric grid and prohibited the acquisition or installation of “any bulk-power electric equipment … designed, developed, manufactured, or supplied, by persons owned by, controlled by, or subject to the jurisdiction or direction of a foreign adversary.” In sum, Trump forbade the use of grid equipment that is made in China, Russia, or other hostile nations.

Trump’s order was a common-sense response to real, proven threats. Just last year, the Wall Street Journal reported that the United States seized a Chinese-built transformer because officials believe “its electronics had been secretly given malicious capabilities, possibly allowing a distant adversary to monitor or even disable it on command.” Cybersecurity expert Joseph Weiss reported that officials found “electronics that should not have been part of the transformer — hardware backdoors” that could allow the Chinese to “effectively gain control of the transformers without any network forensics being the wiser.”

Weiss also reminds us that China was first caught trying to hack into a U.S. grid in California as far back as 2001, and that “the Russians have been in our U.S. grids since 2014.”

I can already picture chinese troops storming across the border, all the lights out in the US, and jo jo sitting in DC blathering, "Aw come on man! I signed the, you know... The thing?!"

" fueled by false narratives" being used in their description also proves they are terrible liars and THEIR narrative is an attempt to deceive. Nobody in authority has investigated a single thing, just issue ultimatums. These people running the show including the media are the terrorists not the people.

The REAL clown show is here, and it's a Chairman Mao/Steven King novel come true.

Remember, these people saying this are the very same people who authorized and promoted the false "Russia collusion" garbage against Trump, and every other "false narrative" they could think up to get Trump. May a curse of death be upon them.

To be fair, Trumps tweets may have hurt some feelings and he did have a good economy until the shutdowns, so the authoritarians had to take him out and silence the rest of us.

a reply to: NoCorruptionAllowed

That is correct. It is the ultimate straw man: create the false narratives then use them to harass, intimidate, provoke, and ultimately attack the intended victims. Any attempt at self defense will be twisted into a narrative of violent intent and will most likely end up being the justification, cart before the horse, for whatever actions they feel the need to take. Anyone who attempts to shed light on this cluster of lies will only be identifying themselves as sympathetic extremists.

Its like poking a dog over and over again with a sharp stick. At some point even the most patient and forgiving dog is going to snap at you. When it does you yell, "Mad dog!" and watch happily as animal control puts it down. Then you use that event as an example of how dangerous the entire breed is and campaign to have them removed from society.

Welcome to liberal land.

Complete with disposable identities that fit just right 😎🚬

The alert expires on April 1st. We'll have full unity by then!

Oh, you know they'll never let that expire.

The DHS has issued a nationwide terrorism alert citing the potential threat from antigovernment extremists opposing Biden as POTUS.

Issuing a nationwide terrorism alert is a serious step to take and you would think there would be some credible evidence suggesting such a drastic measure was necessary. That is not the case.

"Information suggests that some ideologically-motivated violent extremists with objections to the exercise of governmental authority and the presidential transition, as well as other perceived grievances fueled by false narratives, could continue to mobilize to incite or commit violence," the department said.

(emphasis added)

The suggestion of ideologically motivated violent extremists... other perceived grievances... Nothing solid, no evidence, no facts, just the suggestion of perceived grievances is all it takes to issue a nation wide alert. Think about this: its a suggested motivation based on perceived grievances. There is nothing tangible on either end of this farcical nonsense.

"DHS does not have any information to indicate a specific, credible plot," it said.

There is no actual threat, nothing specific, nothing credible, but we need a national terrorism alert anyway.

Meanwhile, the peaceful protestors in Seattle and Portland are not a threat to anything or anyone so no problem there...

And of course, what would a legitimate fascist state be without government compelling the people to rat on their neighbors...

The department urged the public to report suspicious activity and threats of violence.

We ask the public to report suspicious activity and threats of violence, including online activity, to local law enforcement, FBI Field Offices, or their local Fusion Center.

In the quote above "suspicious activity" is defined as:
Expressed or implied threats
surveillance or prolonged interest in taking pics or video of personnel facilities etc
stealing or diverting uniforms badges etc
testing or probing IT security
interfering with operation of aircraft
impersonating authorized personnel or unauthorized access to restricted area
gaining skills or knowledge on a specific topic such as facility security, military tactics, or learning to fly
questioning personnel beyond mere curiosity about an event, facility, or operation
presenting false information
cyberattack
funding suspicious or criminal activity
sabotage or vandalism
acquisition and storage of unusual materials such as cell phones
collection or discovery of unusual amounts of weapons
actions which raise concerns to specific sectors such as power plants, etc

Do you have too many cell phones? Congratulations, you are a domestic terrorist.

How long will it take innocent conservatives to start getting swatted? I want less than one week in the pool.

The first line in the alert bulletin is the basis for the terrorism alert.

Throughout 2020, Domestic Violent Extremists (DVEs) targeted individuals with opposing views engaged in First Amendment-protected, non-violent protest activity.

This is referring to patriotic rallies condemning the violent antifa and blm riots that happened all over the country, which are conveniently not mentioned in this domestic terrorism alert in any way, shape, or form.

It sounds like biden is issuing a threat to anyone who doesn’t support him here. Pretty scary stuff already pouring out.

Can you imagine the leftist outrage if President Trump had done this. The Reeeeeing would have been deafening. The media would be screaming Trump is fear mongering 24/7.

a reply to: Vroomfondel

It looks like they're picking up where they left off from the Obama presidency. Maybe they'll start broadcasting "If you see something, say something" videos in Wal-Mart again.

a reply to: filthyphilanthropist

I have no doubt they will. That slogan is pasted all over the DHS website.

Oh god, I could write the script. Antifa/ BLM still rioting, bbbuuuuttt all of a sudden there will be someone caught on camera (probably wearing buffalo horns, cos you've gotta stick out in a crowd) at the front of the rioters, oops sorry, demonstrators, spouting anti establishment rhetoric and hey presto you've got a right wing terrorist "cell" trying to bring down a fair, democratically elected government.

I'm old enough to remember 4 years ago and the never-Trumpers, the resist Trump movement, and the Trump-is-not-my-president movement. None of this seemed to be terror list worthy then.

But now that the democrats are in power, no dissent will be tolerated.

No reason for a Bulletin: mobile.twitter.com...

Thats because Democrat leaders guilt have them hyper- fearful right now.

In further study of the document and associated information it is profoundly disturbing that the DHS bulletin describes, "ideologically-motivated violent extremists" although there is no specific individual or group mentioned and, "DHS does not have any information to indicate a specific, credible plot."

Think about that. No specific individual or group, no credible information to indicate a specific credible plot, yet they are characterized as violent. If you don't know who they are or have any information supporting a specific plot, how do you know they are violent?

I think we can safely assume that most Americans that use social media are subject to a massive and broad-sweeping FISA warrant. It doesn't matter what 'side' they are on. If they are perceived as a threat -- or even a thorn in the side -- then they've done something that can be used to justify government spying. No dissent is tolerated and half the country believes it should be severely punished and that their rights will never be at risk.

They are for unequal rights and have been skillfully groomed to believe they are superior.

After further review I have come to the conclusion that the biden administration and DHS are in violation of their own domestic terrorism alert bulletin.

Reasons supporting the issuance of the bulletin are as follows:

Throughout 2020, Domestic Violent Extremists (DVEs) targeted individuals with opposing views engaged in First Amendment-protected, non-violent protest activity. DVEs motivated by a range of issues, including anger over COVID-19 restrictions, the 2020 election results, and police use of force have plotted and on occasion carried out attacks against government facilities.

Long-standing racial and ethnic tension—including opposition to immigration—has driven DVE attacks, including a 2019 shooting in El Paso, Texas that killed 23 people.

DHS is concerned these same drivers to violence will remain through early 2021 and some DVEs may be emboldened by the January 6, 2021 breach of the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. to target elected officials and government facilities.

DHS remains concerned that Homegrown Violent Extremists (HVEs) inspired by foreign terrorist groups, who committed three attacks targeting government officials in 2020, remain a threat.

Threats of violence against critical infrastructure, including the electric, telecommunications and healthcare sectors, increased in 2020 with violent extremists citing misinformation and conspiracy theories about COVID-19 for their actions.

DHS, as well as other Federal agencies and law enforcement partners will continue to take precautions to protect people and infrastructure across the United States.

DHS remains committed to preventing violence and threats meant to intimidate or coerce specific populations on the basis of their religion, race, ethnicity, identity or political views.

DHS encourages state, local, tribal, and territorial homeland security partners to continue prioritizing physical security measures, particularly around government facilities, to protect people and critical infrastructure.

Notice that the first, second, and fifth line items (emphasis added) are all popular methods, among both government and media, of describing conservatives, or more simply, republicans. Notice also in the 7th line item the delineation of protected classifications under this alert bulletin. It clearly states "political views" as a protected class.

This bulletin itself identifies people as potential domestic terrorists based on their political views. Remember, the DHS said they had no information regarding a credible threat and no specific individual or group was mentioned by name. The only identifying characteristics remaining are their political affiliation since none of the other classifications are mentioned in the context of this alert bulletin.

Even when citing immigration as one of the motive forces behind domestic terror the bulletin states it is from those in opposition to immigration, not those in opposition to illegal immigration. The right opposes illegal immigration. The absence of the word illegal creates an unfair characterization of xenophobic ideology.

It is clear whom this domestic terrorism bulletin is targeting. And, according to the bulletin itself, that targeting, based on political views, IS IN ITSELF and act of domestic terrorism.

This is insanity. They have no credible threats but are doing this to stoke fear and paranoia. Biden and his bozo supporters are the ones acting like terrorists.

So, anyone of the 76 million people who voted for and supported Trump. Roger, duly noted. More democrat unity on display.
