Domestic terrorism is being pushed as the next greatest threat to the United States. Pres. Joe Biden signed a new Domestic Terror law to march this agenda forward. It doesn't matter that the threat is essentially fabricated in order to push a new security state agenda. The majority of people are just going to accept it.
With the fear of terrorism and the enthusiasm for the war on terror fading overseas, the new war on terror is to target American citizens. This is made much easier in light of the polarization created by the mostly leftist media to have utter disdain for any politics opposed to their own. That's why there was immense censorship of conservatives over the past two years on social media.
Ricardo Vazquez Garcia, from Homeland Security Today, described DHS counterterrorism chief Jon Cohen's enthusiasm over the new domestic terrorism law in a webinar:
“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.
the new threat is your neighbors. The fabrication of a white supremacist or far right extremist threat that is aligned or equated to trump supporters has been created.they want you to believe that they are also teaming up with Middle East extremists to become the new homegrown terrorists.
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 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.
“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.
the future is looking grim. A revival of totalitarian regimes, such as communist regimes, where they expect everyone to be an agent of the state by proxy and obliged to spy on their neighbors and their own family. If you see something say something.
The most dangerous weapon you have is your tongue. A tongue, but if speaking things unsavory to the ideologically compromised authoritarian and totalitarian obeying citizens will get you and possibly your family arrested. Who knows how far and how fast this will go. I'm reminded of the movie Scanner Darkly where anyone can simply get picked up by a van and made to disappear for speaking things the state doesn't want you to speak about.
Well done for posting your content, I have followed you. It may be possible that one day the authorities will simply look at yours and my posts here on Hive and come arrest us for calling them out by using our free speech, or our tongue, as you say. The way things are going I wouldn't be surprised.
i would be willing to bet that their definition of "domestic terrorism" doesn't even end up being partisan at all either (sarcasm.)
Congratulations @viral.news!
