This is not my America, or at least not the one I grew up in.
What? Can that headline be correct? Regrettably, yes, it's true!
The Federal Bureau of Investigation is morphing into America's version of Nazi Germany's Gestapo.
In a tweet on July 11, the FBI asked Americans to spy on "family members and peers" for signs of "mobilization to violence" and report "suspicious behaviors."
The reason for denouncing Uncle Harry or Aunt Harriet, let alone Mom and Dad and one's brother or sister, is to prevent "extremist activities," the FBI tweet explained.
So now the United States really does have a "Big Brother" who is watching our every move, à la 1984.
It's called the FBI — Joe Biden's version of author George Orwell's "thought police."
Please don't take my word for it. Here's exactly what the FBI said in that tweet:
Family members and peers are often best positioned to witness signs of mobilization to violence. . . .[and] help prevent homegrown violent extremism. Visit https://go.usa.gov/x6mjf to learn how to spot suspicious behaviors and report them to the #FBI.
The tweet also included images of "suspicious" individuals accessing computers as well as a link to a government booklet that tells readers how to identify the signs that someone might be considering committing "extremist activities."
The booklet seems to be telling potential informers to become amateur psychologists with such diagnostic advice as this:
It is important to consider the totality of circumstances when observing potential indicators, as some factors may increase the risk of extremist violence in a given situation. Some factors include an individual who has an inability to cope with changes or perceived failures in relationships, school, or career.
This should be a wake-up call to those who poo-pooed that idea.
TOTALLY COMPROMISED AND CORRUPT - LIKE THE BLM, IRS, ATF, EPA, CDC
So if I report someone making blm signs and filling milkshake cups with plaster-of-paris, they will investigate???
“One of the most effective and repressive intelligence and secret police agencies ever to have existed” describes the:
a. Stasi
b. Gestapo
c. FBI
d. Guoanbu
e. Democrat party
f. Dirección de Inteligencia
g. All of the above
h. None of the above
i. c. and e. only
“Family members and peers are often best positioned to witness signs of mobilization to violence. . .”
Especially those indoctrinated in our pubic schools the last several decades. Indoctrinated that Boomers are bad because we like gasoline SUVs, rural living, RVs, ATVs, boats, nice homes with mowed pawns and, worst of all, capitalism, patriotism and personal liberty.
Prophecy by Ronald Reagan:
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”
We are here.
Not that they wouldn’t do this to Americans, but this source is not that proof. This is from 2019 and targeted at possible Islamic recruits. I would be more interested in the new release that is due.
“Why was this booklet created?”
“The United States and other Western nations face a heightened threat from homegrown violent extremists (HVEs) heeding the call to violence from foreign terrorist organizations, including the Islamic State of Iraq and ash-Sham (ISIS), al-Qa’ida, and other groups. In an effort to mitigate future attacks, the initial list of indicators was developed based on a review of information derived from dozens of FBI terrorism investigations, peer-reviewed academic studies, and brainstorming sessions by experts from the Intelligence Community and law enforcement. The indicators are continuously updated based on input from subject matter experts.
The booklet was initially published in 2015, with an updated version published in January 2017. An unclassified version was released in December 2017.”
The FBI used to go after communists.....now....it is run by Communists
They don’t mean muzzies who plan jihad. They are after WHITE Republicans who plan to hold signs near the Capitol.
Do you actually think the FBI would care about that?
That implies integrity in the system.
The FBI is turning into the KGB, and there is little hope that the courts are going to protect the Bill of Rights. We are running out of options.
Ok? So I am assuming that a majority of American citizens are opposed to these gestapo tactics! What can be done to root out the person in the FBI who posted this, who approved this tactic? Let me be clear, the FBI, as a department, tweets nothing. Some a$$hole within the FBI posted this. He/she needs to be held accountable.
Picture this. You are driving your car in Beijing. There is a double yellow line. The car in front of you stops for no apparent reason. This forces you to wait for a gap in oncoming traffic, and pull around him. The driver who stopped has a dashcam, and records your actions. He Emails the footage to the Chinese police. The Chinese police issue you a $400 traffic citation, and send a $200 reward to the driver who turned you in.
The scenario is commonplace in China.
Did anyone even read this PDF?
FLEE to the Next!
Yuppers!
I expect they have a “file” on all members of FR.
F the FBI.
I have a vague memory of a boy in the USSR to whom a statue was erected in memory of him reporting that his father was anti Stalin.
The bolsheviks executed the father. The boy became a communist hero.
That’s happening in the USA right now.
WOKE Children are already informing against their White Supremacist parents.
during the Clinton administration his DoJ encouraged children to report their parents, grandparents, or any other family member to their teachers if they hear them saying “racist” things.
