FBI asks Americans to inform on family members and friends

Posted on 07/23/2021 4:04:13 AM PDT by MtnClimber

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.

It would seem to me that we citizens should be demanding that if there ae=re any honest FBI agents left, they must turn in the communist traitors in their organization who are using their positions to entrap political opponents who oppose communism. Turn them in shackled and handcuffed.

Won’t happen. Good money, good healthcare plan and good retirement preclude that. Same for cops.

I don’t think there have ever been any “honest FBI Agents”. And if there were, they’ve long since gone the way of the dodo.

the FIB jailed the innocent (where they died),
and bought apts. for the 911 bombers (two of them),
and worked with terrorists to bomb Americans
while they ignored warnings from families.
then some of them raped children but were ignored
by the whole organization which was working with
ChInA to bring in guillotines to murder vets,
and with the FISA blackrobes to take out a beloved
POTUS.

that FIB?

For all of Sean Hannity’s crap about the ‘honest & hard working” rank and file agents, that agency like damn near every federal agency with badges & guns, is corrupt to the core. From the top to bottom. Never ever ever talk to a federal agent even to say “Hello”, They will entrap you.

From Matthew chapter 10:

21 “A brother will betray his brother to death, a father will betray his own child, and children will rebel against their parents and cause them to be killed. 22 And all nations will hate you because you are my followers.[f] But everyone who endures to the end will be saved. 23 When you are persecuted in one town, flee to the next.

Another example of an extremely bad personnel pick by Trump. He selected Wray bc he had been Chris Christie’s lawyer and got him out of Bridgegate (his aides were stuck with the charges) when he was obviously guilty. Christie had been an early supporter of Trump (I doubt he brought a single vote to the table other than those of himself and his family) and he thought he owed him a favor. Wray has been a complete disaster.

Our children have already been warmed up for this, for decades.

Many universities have been doing questionnaires in K-12 schools, under the guise of educational research, that have family questions in them — Are there guns in your house? Do your parents drink alcoholic drinks? Do your parents go to church? Is there a U.S. flag outside your house? Etc.

The schools don’t publicize the activity. I learned of it at my kids’ pubic school around 2001, because I was a parent that sent to school board meetings. Approval of it was a quick line item in the agenda, with no discussion.

While it could be used against us it is targeted against Islamic sympathizers.

The Swamp knows that tere are over 70 million Americans who know about the Cheat.

And they know we are coming.

But they can’t see us yet, They are tryingto infiltrate, and set off false flag incidents,......but we are no where to be seen.We are like mist on a lake. We are the mere scent of wet grass in the twilight, diml;y percieved.

So the FBI wants family spying?

They won’t know what hit them.

When Uncle John farted, he has a favorite saying, “ silent but deady.”

This is a typical commie stuff... turn your neighbors in in North Korea and you could wind up dead. e

The Gestapo encouraged neighbors to turn in Jews....

How charming to think our FBI is using commie/gestapo tactics... Hitler and Stalin applaud them...

This suggests that it might be better to be estranged from Leftie family members and friends so you won't be at the fore of their minds when they are considering who to squeal on.

I am thinking of my SIL who would love to turn me in (for anything). If she hasn't seen or talked to me in several years, her intel, at the very least, looks stale and lacks urgency.

“The Federal Bureau of Investigation is morphing into America’s version of Nazi Germany’s Gestapo”

Ha! I’ve been calling them “Pelosis Sturmabteilung” all year with Wray acting as Rohm.

“THEY MOVED MY LECTURN 12 FEET AND SAT AT MY DESK! I VANT THEIR HEADS ON A PLATE HERR WRAY!!”

“Yes Madame Fuhrer”

Wray has got his nose so far up Nancys butt I wonder how he breathes.

What is it with leftist women and this kind of power? Why do these guys risk their careers for these b**ches? Why did James Comey risk everything for Hillary? It’s like dude, if your into that slave/Mistress crap, at least pick better looking women

FBI has been entrapping people for Fifty years....

Read Police state by Gerry Spence....

There is no justice for the average person...the ritch get away because they can afford the best lawyers...

The system is corrupt because the honest cops,judges,lawyers, DAs...will not put the corrupt ones in jail...

Policing the Police is a tough nut to crack.
