DHS weighing major changes to fight domestic violent extremism, say officials

WASHINGTON — The Department of Homeland Security, which was created after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks to protect the country from international terrorism, is moving toward a sweeping set of policy changes to detect and stop what intelligence officials say is now a top threat: domestic violent extremism.

Two senior Biden administration officials said DHS, whose intelligence division did not publish a warning of potential violence before the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, is seeking to improve its ability to collect and analyze data about domestic terrorism — including the sorts of public social media posts that threatened an attack on the U.S. Capitol but were not deemed "actionable" by the FBI and other law enforcement agencies.

DHS plans to expand its relationships with companies that scour public data for intelligence, one of the senior officials said, as well as to better harness the vast trove of data it already collects about Americans, including travel and commercial data through Customs and Border Protection, or CBP, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, the Coast Guard, the Secret Service and other DHS components.

”… is moving toward a sweeping set of policy changes to detect and stop what intelligence officials say is now a top threat: domestic violent extremism [??? emphasis added]."
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

However the corrupt, desperate Democratic-pirated federal government wants to define “domestic violent extremism,” the drafters of the Constitution called it domestic violence. And patriots need to remind their Constitution-impaired state government leaders that the feds can help to suppress domestic violence in a state only if state government leaders formally request federal assistance.

"Article IV, Section 4: The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence [emphasis added]."

In fact, Justice Joseph Story had explained that the reason that the drafters of he Constitution required the feds to get involved in domestic violence only in response to a state’s formal request to do so is to have a constitutional check against the feds using domestic violence as an excuse to stick their big noses (my words) into state affairs which the desperate, Constitution-impaired Democrats are now evidently trying to do.

"§ 1819. It may not be amiss further to observe, (in the language of another commentator,) that every pretext for intermeddling with the domestic concerns of any state, under colour of protecting it against domestic violence, is taken away by that part of the provision, which renders an application from the legislature, or executive authority of the state endangered necessary to be made to the general government, before its interference can be at all proper. […]" —Justice Joseph Story, Commentares on the Constitution, Article 4, Section 4.

Our new DNI (and obama retread) was consultant for the data mining company firm Palantir.

This info was cleansed from her bio at Brookings when she joined up with the Biden Circus.

Palantir was the name for the seeing stones used for communicating long distance with others in LOTR.

Aptly named. See far, see wide.

Just a FYI.

“Are woke raids in our future?”

Yes. El Caudillo de America Al-HANDRO May-ORKAS will be issuing deportation orders for all White Anglo-Saxon Protestants as “threats to the nation”.

Descendants of the Systematically Racist Jamestown colony will be primary targets. After that, anyone whose ancestors participated in the Evil Mexican-American War will be next. Descendants of Confederates of any stripe will be summarily executed as deportation will be considered too soft of an option for the crimes their genetics are capable of.

After that, America will be cleansed of sin and Aztec Cannibal Priests will take over Washington, renaming it “Nueva Tenochtitlan”.

The Stasi had pretty spiffy looking uniforms but their haircuts were awful.

Notice how happy they all look? Visiting horror, fear, and tyranny on their country-men must have really elated all of them.

Does a bear caca in the woods? It is only a matter of when. In fact, some have already taken place. But since were identified by the FBI as dangerous criminals, no one noticed. But, have no fear, when they come for you, you will also be described by the FBI as a very dangerous criminal. As will I.

BLM? Antifa? Radical Islamic terrorists? Etc.? All of course will not and do not count as domestic terrorists.

Evangelical Christians, Catholics, and people who believe in the Constitution — especially if white — of course will.

PS If you think I’m being hyperbolic about evangelical Christians and Catholics, just poke around a bit. A slide used by the DoD in their training did exactly that.

And what would the American Stasi do without their own Schutzstaffel?
Xiden's staffing is looking more and more of Europe roots than American.
