Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security just issued a terror threat advisory which is raising some eyebrows.
Listen, as Lester Holt and Pete Williams describe how the “terror threat advisory” isn’t based on any actual threats or plots, but just a lot of “anti-government rhetoric” that includes things like “opposition to COVID measures” like masks and vaccine measures.
MUST WATCH: Homeland Security hasn't based the new "Terror Threat Alert" off of actual threats or plots… just "anti-government rhetoric" that includes "opposition to COVID measures" … aka FREE SPEECH.

“Extremists may seek to exploit the emergence of Covid-19 variants by viewing the potential re-establishment of public health restrictions across the United States as a rationale to conduct attacks,” the DHS advisory said, adding that “pandemic-related stressors… may contribute to more violence this year.”
So, if there aren’t any actual plots or threats, what they’re really doing is demonizing free speech, as Tim Young observes, or criticism of government action. That’s a dangerous route to go down. It also suggests that the DHS is surveilling people to some degree on this subject, another troubling thought, and definitely a slippery slope to go down.
They’re also continuing to demonize Trump supporters again, by including them in the advisory that isn’t based on any actual threats, with “claims of election fraud, belief Trump can be reinstated.”
Whether you agree or disagree with those thoughts on Trump or on COVID, you’re allowed those thoughts in our allegedly free society under our Constitution. Are they really classifying being critical of the government as a terrorist threat now? Is dissent now terrorism?
Notice in this CNN take that it isn’t criminal actions but “false narratives” that are mentioned as “dangerous.”
The bulletin is part of a concerted effort by DHS to address the issues that led up to January 6 and the beginning of an effort by the department to educate the public about how these false narratives and conspiracy theories “are not just confusing but dangerous,” according to a source familiar.
You’re not allowed to have those thoughts.
Then the NBC piece notes there are concerns about the 9/11 anniversary and “religious holidays,” without defining what “religious holidays” we’re talking about here. What they’re looking at here, without NBC saying it, I think, is radical Islamic terrorism. That’s what the Yahoo News article on the advisory suggests.
But NBC just didn’t want to put that in the graphic. So, it leaves you wondering: are religious holidays now considered a threat as well?
Meanwhile, notice what’s missing from that list? Actual Antifa terrorism, with actual attacks on federal and other government buildings and police.
But hey, at least Joe Biden loves his vacation time and his ice cream, right? All praise the Leader!
Sadly, *not* satire in the US today.
Looks like every FReeper is now considered a terrorist.
The only “religious” holiday we need to be concerned about would be Ramadan.
Anyone who is terrorized by opposition to covid measures is mentally unstable.
Same goes for anyone who is terrorized by the reality of election fraud.
Am I a paranoid conspiracy theorist for supposing this is ideological prep for a big false flag operation around September 11?
All the list says is “We can arrest you or anyone else for any reason because everyone is on the list.”
I repeat: Free speech is a wonderful thing. It exposes idiots for all to see.
Our government is full of them. What are we going to do about it?
See...that put me on the list. I have questioned the genius of our great leaders.
12 fbi agents set up the supposed Gretchen Whitmer abduction plan.
No.
You wouldn’t be paranoid to think that.
His social credit score will reflect this.....
Bullet points from Comcast
The multinational Comcast hates Trump, hates us.
MASKS DON’T WORK.
BIDEN STOLE THE ELECTION.
The foundation for false flag is laid.
The Jewish high holy days of Yom Teruah (aka Rosh Hoshanna) is coming up, as well as Yom Kippurim and Sukkot.
Yom Teruah begins at sundown on Sept. 6th
Yom Kippurim begins at sundown on Sept. 15th
Those very could be the ‘religious holidays’ they are referring to.
“Terror”
That just means they’re scared of getting caught and punished, right?
How about Islam Islam Islam Islam ☪️?
Still number 1234
5 slot is now occupied by communism again!
The great reset don’t you know
Our Communist Leftist Fascists rulers are going full hot.
Something has them spooked...
m I a paranoid conspiracy theorist for supposing this is ideological prep for a big false flag operation around September 11?”
Biden thought that the taliban would have a big incident on September 11. Whoops, it is happening early.
Were that only the case.
Unfortunately we have reached the Marxist stage of the murderous ‘Antifa’ Bolshiviki.
Them or Us
Notice Joe moved the final withdrawal date from 9/11. I wouldn’t put anything past this administration and it’s ideological allies in tech and media and elsewhere. That’s what fascists do. BLM riots don’t count as terrorism, antifa acts don’t count as terrorism.
These are justified “fiery but mostly peaceful protests” /s because they are not in opposition to the current regime and are useful to the lefts power motives.
