Far from being a war against “white supremacy,” the Biden administration’s new “domestic terror” strategy clearly targets primarily those who oppose US government overreach and those who oppose capitalism and/or globalization.
In the latest sign that the US government’s War on Domestic Terror is growing in scope and scale, the White House on Tuesday revealed the nation’s first ever government-wide strategy for confronting domestic terrorism. While cloaked in language about stemming racially motivated violence, the strategy places those deemed “anti-government” or “anti-authority” on a par with racist extremists and charts out policies that could easily be abused to silence or even criminalize online criticism of the government.
Even more disturbing is the call to essentially fuse intelligence agencies, law enforcement, Silicon Valley, and “community” and “faith-based” organizations such as the Anti-Defamation League, as well as unspecified foreign governments, as partners in this “war,” which the strategy makes clear will rely heavily on a pre-crime orientation focused largely on what is said on social media and encrypted platforms. Though the strategy claims that the government will “shield free speech and civil liberties” in implementing this policy, its contents reveal that it is poised to gut both.
. Indeed, while framed publicly as chiefly targeting “right-wing white supremacists,” the strategy itself makes it clear that the government does not plan to focus on the Right but instead will pursue “domestic terrorists” in “an ideologically neutral, threat-driven manner,” as the law “makes no distinction based on political view—left, right or center.” It also states that a key goal of this strategic framework is to ensure “that there is simply no governmental tolerance . . . of violence as an acceptable mode of seeking political or social change,” regardless of a perpetrator’s political affiliation.
Considering that the main cheerleaders for the War on Domestic Terror exist mainly in establishment left circles, such individuals should rethink their support for this new policy given that the above statements could easily come to encompass Black Lives Matter–related protests, such as those that transpired last summer, depending on which political party is in power.
Once the new infrastructure is in place, it will remain there and will be open to the same abuses perpetrated by both political parties in the US during the lengthy War on Terror following September 11, 2001. The history of this new “domestic terror” policy, including its origins in the Trump administration, makes this clear.
It’s Never Been Easier to Be a “Terrorist”
In introducing the strategy, the Biden administration cites “racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists” as a key reason for the new policy and a main justification for the War on Domestic Terror in general. This was most recently demonstrated Tuesday in Attorney General Merrick Garland’s statement announcing this new strategy. However, the document itself puts “anti-government” or “anti-authority” “extremists” in the same category as violent white supremacists in terms of being a threat to the homeland. The strategy’s characterization of such individuals is unsettling.

Any and every body who hates Socialism/Fascism/Commies like that driven by Dr. Jill and her trained monkey?
George Washington.
Freepers
A Terrorist/White Supremacist is somebody who the Swamp thinks will be shooting back after the Swamp makes its move to take away our God given rights. They need to make patriots appear subhuman and unworthy of support before they do something that is going to make us want to shoot them.
Actual Americans who believe in the constitution.
They "tolerated" the year long 2020 riots without any problems.
They are "tolerating" illegally held political prisoners in D.C. without any problems.
They are "tolerating" being 21st century prog Nazis without any problems.
“an ideologically neutral, threat-driven manner,” as the law “makes no distinction based on political view—left, right or center.” is a gigantic load of of prog B.S.
.
“Anti government” and “anti authority”. And just how will that be defined? Mere disagreement?
Article 58 of the old Soviet Union has come to the United States.
Non-POC, Christian, gunowner, Capitalist.
Exactly
I would think that the definition of “terrorist” is a person who inspires terror. Biden appears to be “terrorized” by honest voting American Patriots. What does that make Joe Biden, then?
You and me.
Make no mistake. They want us dead.
This is the way every totalitarian government throughout history has begun. Hitler had the night of the long knives, Stalin had the great purge, Castro had El Paredon, the wall where he executed political opponents. Totalitarians do not tolerate political dissenters, they declare you a terrorist or a criminal then lock you up or murder you.
That's where this is heading.
Anyone who supports the constitution and traditional America.
It’s not “Biden’s” America. Stay tuned.
