The article does show what the mindset is within FBI. As bullshit as the mindset is, it exists.

What stands out to me is the self-reinforcing logic. A very large portion of the population is declared likely to be dangerous. Because of this, the enormous weight of government is applied to this group, with unequal treatment justified by the official supposition. And so some portion of this group becomes actively yet peacefully engaged by showing up at school board meetings, or publicly speaking on major platforms (youtube, etc).

Some even walk into the Capitol building under police escort.

And so now it is declared violence has occurred, justifying further targeting. Which of course gets more and more of this group upset and actively resisting. And so the cycle intensifies.

These are dangerous times indeed.

The FBI are a bunch of fucking charlatans. Until they bust the cells in Portland that were responsible for burning the federal courthouse, until they bust the people who drove Andy Ngo out of the country, until they bust the people that tampered with Andy Ngo's jury, until they bust the antifa goons who threatened violence against the university where a conservative speaker was to talk, they are nothing but a bunch of leftist thugs dedicated to keeping the democrats and the greater American left in power.

They apparently have no interest in enforcing the laws equally they apparently only have an interest in enforcing the law against conservatives and the right.

Trust in that organization is an earned zero.

More and more I'm reminded of Germany in the 1930's, as Nazi leadership went through efforts to distinguish "friendly" members of law enforcement from those who actually cared about protecting members of the general public. Back during the time of Trump's first campaign, I vividly recall watching police officers standing by and watching as those who simply wanted to see the candidate's presentation at a venue in San Jose were attacked and beaten by leftist "activists."

The mayor of San Jose admitted that he'd personally directed the Chief of Police to NOT INTERVENE in this violence, and I was thinking how much this reminded me of what occurred during Kristallnacht, (German: “Crystal Night”), also called Night of Broken Glass or November Pogroms, the night of November 9–10, 1938, when German Nazis attacked Jewish persons and property. (The name Kristallnacht refers ironically to the litter of broken glass left in the streets after these pogroms. The violence continued during the day of November 10, and in some places acts of violence continued for several more days.)

DHS Designates President Trump Supporters as Domestic Violent Extremists?

The claim by Newsweek is rather alarming – that the Dept of Homeland Security and FBI consider President Trump supporters as domestic violent extremists (DVE’s) in combination with official designation from the FBI as “domestic terrorists.”

There’s nothing within the article, the citations or the quotes from multiple anonymous officials within the domestic surveillance system, that will seem a surprise if you take away the hyperbolic use of adjectives and descriptive statements. Yes, to the Newsweek readers, anyone who would challenge their worldview or political position is dangerous; after all, these are the same people who equate words with violence.

Remember, DHS Secretary Alejandro N. Mayorkas recently announced a quasi-government panel that would be the arbiters of definitions. In essence, the braintrust who will define activity to be compatible with the rules and restrictions on speech. Officially the group is called the “Homeland Intelligence Experts Group“; unofficially Mayorkas has selected the domestic speech police.
Fear much?

Does it worry me to be labeled as a domestic terrorist because I distrust government and support President Trump? No, not one bit. Label me with whatever description you need in order to quantify your fear; it matters not.

Within the pearl-clutching Newsweek outline, the thread which ties the claims together is intelligence official’s inability to quantify the threat We The People represent because there are just too many of us.

…”But I say this as a citizen as much as a government analyst,” the senior official says. “We are in a unique moment and the numbers are daunting.” (read more)

Daunting? Yes, I’m sure they are. With President Trump carrying support from the majority of the country, does the “threat” description applied by the minority really matter just because they are in power? Again, no, not even a little.

The need for control is a reaction to fear. Please, quiver more; we laugh, love, enjoy our family and celebrate our freedom assembly regardless of your tremors.

I have experienced these arbiters first-hand. I have been to their inquisition and laughed. It doesn’t matter what deep state institutional echo-chamber they crawl out from; they are weak and pathetic people who could not survive without the indulgences and facilitating services the “extremists” control.

Oh, the truckers are “potential threats”, lol, ok good; try finding food in the supermarket if the truckers take a break for a week to restore their wounded sensibilities.

Go live your best life and laugh at these knuckleheads. They are fleas looking into the furnace…

We are the workforce.

We are also digital warriors, meme creators, artists, researchers, autists and ordinarily invisible people now considered dissidents in our own country.

We are the backbone of industry, the people who keep it all working. The builders, diggers and blue-collar workforce that keeps everything functioning.

We are the people they will never fully control. We speak in languages they do not understand, and we absorb targeted ridicule as fuel.

We are the movers of goods, the truckers, the farmers, the nameless people behind the skilled trades that keep what they call American society moving.

We are the people who grow the food, pick the food, transport the food, stock the food, cook the food and facilitate the life they live.

We are a visible, yet disregarded, insurgent force within their sphere of life that is never considered, yet we control the outcomes of every moment they value.

We can stop it all, bring it all to a standstill, if we simply stop doing what we do.

We pick up the trash, answer the phones, run cables to their devices, mow their lawns, solve their problems, control the flow of essential services and keep our heads below the radar.

We are the majority.

We are a self-reliant, freedom loving, normally peaceful and God-fearing assembly.

We drive them to their destination; we are comfortably out of mind until needed, and yet we are irreplaceable for the things they require.

We are armed with tools, hammers, pens, rulers, mice, pickup trucks, laptops, post-it notes, stickers and alternate forms of messaging that circumvent the control mechanisms deployed to create our silence.

We are inside every facility, every institution, every meeting, every moment of their existence – and we notice everything.

We have eyes of mice and ears of elephants. We are there when they do not expect, and we melt away before they notice our appearance.

We are smart, strategic, highly intelligent and carry a brutally obvious and pragmatic common sense that finds optimal solutions to everything.

We identify our tribe immediately and without conversation.

We see what they hide, we hear what they whisper, we decipher their codes, and we understand the complexity they create in their effort to conceal.

We control the physical world that operates around every element of society, and we value real and tangible assets.

We do not sit around pontificating eloquently about philosophic nuances; we get it done.

We are the people who facilitate their ability to take us for granted, and we do so without issue, resentment or desire for recognition.

We are optimistic, affable, kind, generous, friendly, loyal, warm and quietly spiritual in purpose.

We are polite, considerate and slow to anger.

We prefer to be left alone. However, pushed entirely far enough, decisions are reached. Right now, we are tenuously staring with deepened gaze.

We are increasingly pissed off…. Big Time! However, we are not destabilized.

We are awake.

In every town, village and hamlet we are encountering the same conversation. On every porch, in every shop, at every event, the topic is the same.

Right now, we are taking this fury to the communication and commerce platforms where we hope to influence outcomes. But if that effort fails, and/or if the command-and-control authorities make the mistake of thinking they can shut down our visibility and therefore control our dissent, there will be no quarter provided in the aftermath.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."
-- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Actually there was a death. A capitol officer killed a civilian.

But MAGA is the threat. Riiiiight.


You should probably look into that a bit more before you make such claims.
WUT!! What am I misreading here?


I'm an idiot or dyslexic or something. Thought that said civilian killed cop. My mistake.

Getting mighty spicy out there. I think it's time for like minded folks to start sticking together. It's easy to get picked off as individuals.
I for one have stopped trying to point out the logical inconsistencies of their narrative and instead accept the actions of all the alphabet agencies as well as the fudd-eral bubbler mints for what they are. A blaring takeover of the country by destroying our way of lives while bringing forth the highest level of tyranny this country has ever known.

Comical how they skirt around the BLM riots and ANTIFA which caused much more destruction and death than anything the right has done.

Of course they do. Don't want to upset their masters. We all know the moms & pops who protest at school board meetings are the real terrorists. FJB, FMG and their lemmings.

The writer of this article probably watched the movie "Red State" and thought it was a documentary.
